I was going to say chronic inflammation, but you beat me to it. How about diet? It's also called Diabetes type 3. Wonder why? Diet is the number one reason for systemic inflammation aside from autoimmune issues like RA and Lupus

I wouldn't worry about HCT or polycythemia. The studies sited are older than moses and coincide with heart attacks and strokes and bph and prostate cancer. All very flawed studies. Who prostate cancer, younger or older men 45+? Who has lower testosterone levels younger or older men 45+? The...

From ultramarathons to TRT and lifting. ABA workout. All 3 sets to failure, RPT. Wednesday: seal row 5-10 reps, ohp 6-8 reps, heavy lunges. In between every set I do 20 seconds on assault bike sprints. Friday: bench 5-10 reps, chin-ups 4-6 reps, trap bar deadlift. In between 20 seconds assault...

I’m not sure I’ve ever had dick problems. Even when my Test level was 167 I had great libido. I suffered from headaches and fog with fatigue and weight gain while trying to lose fat and gain muscle. This isn’t my first time coming down. Since starting trt I’m convinced many blame everything on...

From 20mgx2/day the only thing I noticed was slight strength loss.

Cholesterol myths are horse$hit. Ansel Keys is rotting in hell for his blatantly false statements and rigged studies. You can’t eat enough protein to cause kidney problems unless you already have kidney issues. If you can put down more than 4 ribeyes I want to see it. 2 1/2 in a day is max for...

My labs on 10mg/ day is around 600. I’ve seen it as low as high 400s though with same dose. That’s why I really think even the best doctors are doing they’re best, haven’t got a clue. I don’t amoritize easily and usually have too low E2 and hct has never been an issue even blasting. In the...

I hope you get this. AGain I'm a success story here so rarely come on. I would say try for a keto/carnivore diet and do the trt. No reason to wait. Your FT will go up with daily injections and this will boost libido and strength.

I am currently coming down from another blast (don't ask). I was a skinny endurance freak for years and am 49 and want to put on mass. I followed Emeric's advice to do 2 shots a day of 20mg, so 40/day daily for a total of 280 for the week. I gained muscle and lost more fat and can honestly say...

Thought I would chime in. I am one of the success stories for TRT, so I don't even look at the forum very much. Look up Emeric Delczeg on professional muscle. He has been doing daily injections @ 10mg/day for almost 30 years. He is a retired bodybuilder now in his 60s. I have done...

https://www.zerohedge.com/health/cdc-confirms-remarkably-low-death-rate-media-chooses-ignore-covid-19-realities Taking out nursing home deaths, the IFR is .1%. Including nursing homes it is .26%. I know of 3 people personally (one was a HS friend with a small business and engaged to be married...

Same here. 2 1/2 years and haven’t gotten sick and my life long high bp went down.

Hope this helps. I tried small dose 2x/wk no effect. More study at the daily endogenous of 7-10 and decided to go daily. I did 12 then 14/day and felt great. Libido has never really been an issue even when low T. My T was 300 before then 700-900 after. I had a ton of leftover vials and last...

5'8" 170 here. Have abs and do ZERO ab work. Home gym all the way. Half rack, bounce plates, chin up bar, dip bars, airdyne... Done. Saves me time and after the initial price it saves me long run. I run Martin Berkhan's Leangains protocol including diet. Started lifting 3ish years ago. Was...

I went from C to P. P gave me pip and lumps at injection site. Was doing P daily. Started getting headaches. Probably did 3 -4 weeks. Went back to C and now on E. Didn't notice a difference from C to E. Same schedule.

I agree with Vince, BUT here is a story for you. Go get blood work couple of weeks ago. New assistant nurse. I was 24 hour fasted. She did a total BC draw, but forgot Testosterone draw tube. Right after BC draw I injected in my truck, had a Chipotle. Drive 1/2 hour home have two shots of...

16-20mg injection daily 110-140mg/wk. I feel better at 20mg/day. If you do 100mg/wk x 8= 800. So roughly TT would show up on BW as 800ish. 140x8= 1120, so that is probably where I would be if BW today. ED injection has very little trough. I don't blame T on everything. I am very sensitive to...

I was 300 when I started TRT. 600- we're my follow up labs. I know try only puts me in normal range, but it also keeps me there within the normal fluctuations that endogenous T does, so I assumed recovery was faster and there would be zero to little catabolism going on.

RPT isn't fancy. Warmup Top set is heaviest then drop the weight 10-15% and repeat. 2nd set usually yields a bit higher reps. When your first set in a week or two goes over 8 reps, increase the weight. From ultramarthons and only doing 8 pull ups to one rep Max pull up with 105 pounds +...

I have been on TRT for 2 years now and have had great success. On a bodybuilding forum many were calculating weekly dose x 8 would put you at your TT. I many labs done in the first year and then every 3 Mo since. Mine have almost landed in that x8 every time. I do what Vince does. ED at...

Anyone know at what blood level we see faster recovery from workouts? 800? 1000? I've been any where from 600-1300 and yet to see fast recovery from workouts. My workout A: Mon: DL 2 sets 3-5 repish Chins 3x8ish Bench 3x8ish Wed workout B: OHP 3x 8ish Row 3x8ish Dip 3x8ish Fri A with...

Yes

TT upper 900s. E was in high teens and low 20s. Don't know shbg. Don't remember ft.

sebastian, Same here. I think when I got real lean and do daily T, my E is low. Maybe will try 20/day. My doc likes my TT low though and my E high range, so when I draw I have to come down a week or two before I go in. Prop killed everything for me. PIP, knots the size of golf ball with only...

Daily here. Started at around 10mg/day and normal to be around 15mg/day. Doc couldn't figure out why my E2 was so low and didn't like it that low, but didn't know what to do about it. Free was any where from 600-1000. E2 was sometimes in teens. I felt great. I have recently done 30mg/day and...

I did a double marathon once and the winner looked about my height, but no way was he under 195 lbs. His brother won the marathon and he looked like a typical marathoner.

Madman, Thank you for your research. What if someone is on TRT or to the extreme AAS? Dragon bits, I have gained significant strength on a calorie deficit. I follow Martin Berkhan's leangains. Doing 16 hour fast wasn't enough for me. Switched to 18-23 hours and I can almost (almost) eat...

AMPK inhibits mTOR, but is this something that is a mute point on TRT? Basically can someone do hard long cardio and gain muscle through a heavy lifting program? From my research LISS is ok, but HIIT will impact mTOR. If mixing HIIT and lifting, HIIT should be done on off days, not at all or...

I am sorry my mind gets ahead of my fingers. Been on tcyp only for two years this March. No bloods on this protocol. One of the problems with medical research is that they do these studies on older men who are not optimizing themselves for wellness. Maybe for health, but not wellness...

Roger that. I think a lot of guys blame not feeling perfect on TRT. Diet Exercise Rest Lower stressors Put those in separate sheets of paper and brainstorm as to what is ideal. Be real. I get severely obese people in my office and can't figure out why they have back pain. It seriously eludes...

VC, Because of yours and Vince and CW my dialed in numbers actually keep my e down. Infact my doc on two separate BW was concerned my e was too low. She is clueless. Thinks it should be 5% of TT. I was doing 15ish mg/day up until 8 days before draw to show lower TT. She use to like 800-1000...
