After 15yrs of TRT blood work is consistent, lucky never had any sides. Libido, mood, muscle mass is on point. It takes time.

As a pro, hire a local pro to help you with your goals.

I train at 430am, have for years. Always fasted. I also do a modified IF model 5 days aweek, at 62 IF is easy for meal prep and staying lean.

Just started reading it, too soon to tell.

Nope, I have elevated triglycerides genetically.

Ive used N for years, 80mg per week (40mg and 40mg) its not a miracle drug but helps with joint pain and training. Just had labs done for some lipid issues and genetics. Hemocrit was up a point, the real rockstar is Crestor which lowered my Triyglerides by 80 points.

15yrs for me. No sides.

I find this true especially post covid, which doesn't help when you feel good, hormones optimized, healthy, and look and feel good. Middle age men ( my friends) seem to suffer from all of the above, making it hard to relate to them and friendships seem to suffer.

I've been a trainer for 31yrs and training my self for 40yrs. My practice is exclusively baby boomer men, 45 and up for the last 15yrs. At 61 yrs old, my personal training is how I teach. More warmup, joint friendly exercises, less rest time between sets. Higher intensity with less volume, and...

I have a awesome PCP, he is younger and more progressive. Shop around.

Seek out a trainer to help you put together a training program. Middle age means training different, especially with your injuries. Throw out the tren.

I didnt report my HCG numbers? But I do standard 250iu 2x per week.

Long time TRT user, never had any sides etc. Yearly bloodwork was just done, estradiol was 67. Total T was 567 in trough. Free 155. Looking back, estradiol is always 64 to 67 which I know is higher? Dont have any problems just looking for feedback please.

Prefer NPP over nandrolone, mix with TRT. No sides.

Rural yes, but please dont say you know how to weight train properly because you trained in high school. As a trainer for 31yrs, and the way I make a living, you could do alot better with your current routine. As with the mechanic, lawyer, or plumber, we all have a profession for a reason.

As with most things genetics and some luck plays a part to continued muscle growth and the way we train. As a trainer to exclusively middle aged men, ( me at 61yr) success for most of us comes with different training. I've found increased frequency helps, changing intensity, volume are all good...

after training for 40yrs consistently, it is frustrating not being as strong. Changing your training is key to continued success and growth.

Every year my doc has to submit info to the insurance company for renewal, even with the same insurance. Have your doc resubmit the info.

Lots of great responses here, all true and informative. I am sure their are many on here who like me have experimented with AS in our younger days, which personally lead me to HRT in my late 40s. Hypogonadism, is really what you have to look forward to when you do AS unsupervised. Genetics...

Insurance rejected my HRT years ago, doc disputes it, wrote a letter and got it approved.

30mg every 3 days of T, 250iu of HCG 2x per week.

I've been a 15yr TRT vet, I am lucky to have no sides and have switched protocols based on this forum. Personally, not a fan of subQ due to lumps and pain. I do like shallow IM in delts and thighs. I only test 1x per year as my labs are the same.

15yrs TRT 80mg test every 3-4 days, 500iu HCG a week. libido is strong no erection issues, no help needed lucky, i have no sides. labs good yearly 60 yrs old

I am fortunate, 15yrs of TRT therapy, no sides from a simple 500ius of HCG split weekly. Cypionate test at 80mgs every 3 or 4 days. I've lowered my dose several times with no change. My hematocrit is higher then I like when I test yearly, but my doc says it's ok.

tore my pec 20yrs ago, not a tendon tear but pec tear that cant be fixed. as a trainer for a living the return is slow and steady, just like I teach. stretch, massage (scar tissue) band work are all helpful. each week adding in more upper body work in. NO flat benching for me till this day.

I just had my yearly labs, HCt is always around 51ish, 10yr +TRT user. No sides, 30mg x 3 in 9 days. Troughed for 5 days prior to labs, normal then is 500ish. Added a larger amount of water pre test, 24hrs of hydration. Normal fast for bloodwork, no diet changes, HCT was 49. Lowest it's ever...

Nope, I always been fortunate, when I read guys having issues with HRT, never had any issues!

120mg of test, 100mg of nan. per week. Have used this many times because I feel great on it. Bloodwork is ok.

As a trainer who has helped many people after rotator cuff tears and surgery, hire a pro to help you. Go to therapy after and then to a qualified trainer to get back on track.
