Hey Guys I'm looking for some advice on training. I'm 32 and I've been going to the gym for the last 10-15 years, although not always very consistently. I feel like I've made very minimal progress in this time at all. I've always been skinny but had a high body fat percentage and store fat...

I've been on TRT for 12 months and slowly but surely noticing more side effects over the last few months. I'm unsure if they are all from TRT or I am just more aware of them. Currently on 62.5mg Test E and 300mcg Hcg x 2 per week. (125mg Test E + 600mcg HCG total per week) Now one or two of...

I have a small, half-golf ball sized lump that just appeared on my outer glute 3 days after an injection. It's about 1/2 inch below the injection site, but not directly over it. The area is warm to touch and slightly red. It's sore to touch or sore if I stretch my glute, but it's not overly...

I recently checked some bloodwork from a private lab here in Australia. I asked if their E2 LCMS was the same as a 'Sensitive E2' test that is available in the USA, and was told it is the same. The labwork came back and just lists it as 'Oestradiol LCMS' The test can be found on this page...

Have been on TRT about 8 months, last 2 months I started getting night sweats. I'll wake up 1-2 times most nights covered in sweat. It started not long after returning to Australia, and is winter here. Was in a tropical country previous and experienced it. Can this be caused by TRT? not sure...

I forgot to sterilise the top of an Hcg vial with an alcohol swab before drawing a dose with a syringe. I discarded the syringe/dose I drew - but I'm concerned I've contaminated the rest of the vial. The Hcg has only been mixed and open for a week - and stored in a clean empty fridge since...

Hi Excel, I've got my latest bloodwork back after beginning TRT 4 months ago. My Pre TRT bloodwork is here: http://imgur.com/a/cTS4J After Week 10 of TRT: http://imgur.com/a/F1O4k Current bloodwork (4 Months): http://imgur.com/a/pK9KS My current protocol is: Test E / 175mg week. Split...

Curious if any of the longer term TRT users have experienced any noticeable damage or side effects from regular IM injections? I currently inject twice /week and rotate between each glute, but vary the exact injection site within the glute. I occasionally do thigh injections, but prefer glutes...

Anyone here have experience of Drug/Alcohol Addiction while on TRT? I was always a very anxious person in social situations since my teenage years. I'm 31 now and more or less grown out of my anxiety issues. Over the years I was prescribed benzodiazepines many times and eventually became...

Hi Excel, I am 31, been on TRT for about 3 months. Currently taking 150mg Test E, and 12.5mg Aromasin / week. Dr has mentioned HCG and we'll be discussing it next week I don't care about the cosmetic issues like testicular atrophy. I'm in a long term relationship and have no immediate...

I wanted to check my test levels today, but forgot and took my usual 75mg dose 2 hours ago How quick will Test E effect blood levels? Is it pointless now (I wanted to test the trough) Not a big deal, it was more out of curiosity and bloodwork is cheap here. Thanks

Hi Excel I recently changed to a clinic that specialises in TRT specifically. I live in Thailand and it's a US Doctor who has a long background in treating athletes and steroid users in the USA. Their marketing seems aimed heavily towards athletes / bodybuilders. TRT is the clinic's main...

Hi Excel, I've been on TRT for about 7 weeks total so far, however the first 4 weeks was on a bad protocol of 250mg, once every 2 weeks which resulted in lower T levels after the 14 days. I've recently found a TRT Clinic here in Thailand and switched as my original doctor wasn't familiar with...

Hi Guys, My intro thread is here for some more background. I'm 31 years old, 5'11, 175lbs, Fairly healthy lifestyle, Gym 3-4 times a week, I eat a Ketogenic diet (very low carb, moderate protein, high in fat), very rarely drink alcohol. Besides the gym I am fairly sedentary though. Anyway -...

Hi Guys, I've had what I think is mild Gyno since 13yo. I've always been 'skinny fat' and have never gotten to a super low bodyfat level - so unsure what it would look like at a lower bf% I got down to 15%bf at 85kg working with a good physique coach last year pre TRT (I was at 28%bf before)...

Hi Excel, How long did it take you to find your optimal TRT protocol as far as dosing, schedule, ancillaries from when you first: A) Initially sought help from a Doctor B) Began a testosterone therapy Or is it a never ending process? are you still adjusting according to bloodwork/symptoms...

Hope this isn't a silly question. Assuming your natural Test is shut down due to TRT and you are reliant on injections. Do environmental and lifestyle factors that typically lower testosterone still have as much as an effect? Or will your T levels just run out at the same rate regardless...

Hey Guys, I currently receive my injections from my prescribing Dr - but will soon change to self administer it. My only issue is I only have access to 250mg amps of Test E in this country. At the moment I am getting one 250mg injection every 2 weeks but will change it very soon to at least...

Hi There, I've recently started TRT at 33 years of age after noticing low Test levels from a general health checkup of 267 ng/dl. I went to a GP for a second blood test and my free testosterone came back with 4.92 ng/dl and 217 ng/dl Total test - so she was open to treat it with TRT. My doc...
