If soreness is your primary issue, it’s possible that lack of anabolism is part of the problem, but it sounds like your protocol should be doable without much soreness. Jumping to Oxandrolone before ruling out some other fundamental issues seems a bit premature so before you jump to that I would...

I would try it and see. A lot will depend on your how recovery-friendly your lifting protocol is. I (almost) never do a set to failure, but I do a lot of near-maximal sets and I have found that this massively reduces the recovery time needed while also letting me do far more near-maximal volume...

I just went back and read your initial post, and unless I missed it somewhere else, I don't see where you've done a thorough check-up with a Holistic/Integrative Doc, someone who would check for nutrient status, long-term infections (e.g. lyme) and other things that could cause your symptoms...

I cut the pills in half. They are quite small but they could be cut again with a pill splitter but I am fine with the 2.5 mg dose, at least in theory since I don't feel anything similar to Gman.

Yes. It's not going to do as much as that plus other anabolics, however I think it's a viable approach if one want a moderate boost. Many people who start TRT looking primarily for gym gains should IMO start with some sort of minimally suppressive protocol such as enclomiphene/oxandrolone...

FWIW, I've found the same thing when I cut my dose of Test cyp, at least in the short term. I would do so permanently and add in Oxandrolone for the anabolic effects, except that my E2 is already very low and I haven't wanted to get into supplementing E2 directly.

Have you run into any strategies for raising E2 in those of us who are perpetually low? I use HCG and my T is high normal but E2 is constantly very low.

I agree with Funk on the Berberine. Also, there is some evidence that lowering protein may help, and there has been a lot of discussion of that recently in relation to the Sugar Diet (which has been around for decades but has recently be re-publicized). It's not something I think it is viable...

I'm increasingly thinking, both from my own experience and observing others, that what you are describing makes the most sense, but with the addition of other targeted compounds to address specific issues. In your case, a moderate dose of Oxandrolone to replace the "lost" T seems logical (or...

The time for high Vitamin C supplementation no matter what is if you feel any kind of infection/illness coming on. Especially Liposomal Vitamin C. Vitamin C is like the ammo for your innate immune system "gun". It's interesting that it may have raised your HCT since some of us struggle with...

Thanks for posting this. One of the big problems with what I'll call the Minimally Suppressive Testosterone/SERM approaches is the lack of publicly available discussion on the results of such experimentation, so it's interesting to see your results. I had never heard of L-Tyrosine creating those...

I have found that the 250mg version doesn't have even 1 quarter of the flush off the 500 version, so I have switched to taking more of the 250's.

It can make some people smell like Garlic for a little while although I've never had this issue. It does not affect libido. You have to make sure the skiin is clean in the area you apply it. AMidwesternDoctor on substack has done a massive series on it and I suggest you read that. It can...
