It's often said that using compound exercises is the best for boosting T. If working out regularly and also having the desire to lower cortisol etc, because one's particular physiology would benefit from that, would isolation exercises be better at increasing T? Also would use of isolation...

Just got my Cortisol and Prolactin labs back. are they where they should be if not how do I get them in range for Libido? Or does anyone see what could be causing Zero Libido. Cortisol = 11.7 ng/dl Prolactin = 12.2 ng/ml Total Testosterone, Serum 1064 High ng/dL 264-916 Free Testosterone(Direct)...

Just curious, has anyone ever experienced what is called dermatographia while taking testosterone injections? I was injecting test-e subq (80-100mg weekly) for the last five months or so and have developed an interesting skin reaction. Basically I can take a retracted ball point pen and write my...

Hey Guys, I looked for the answer to this question and didnt see it, so here it goes. I was talking to my medical practitioner and we were talking about my issues with lack of sleep. The person told me that it might be because I inject at night which will cause insomnia. i have never heard...

Hello guys, Below are my Pre TRT results. I am 4 days into my TRT. The protocol is 200mg a week of test cyp with 50iu X 2 times a week of gonadorelin but I am doing daily dosing 200mg/7days= 28mg a week. but I am a bit worried about my PRE T results that show HIGH DHEA. The main thing I am...

Hi. Im new to this forum. Found it on YouTube thanks to Rand McClain. Im a 46 year old male. Ive been on and off steroids since my 20's. For the last year Ive been going to a medical rejuvenation clinic. They've prescribed me 1CC of Testosterone per week and 2 Arimidex tablets per week. Im 5'11"...

Is TRT basically a guarantee for not keeping fertility? I started TRT due to low normal free T and high SHBG with some low t symptoms but I am concerned about fertility since I am 28 years old. I do not want to take HCG as it makes me feel bad and basically makes TRT not work for me. Is there...

Interested to see thoughts here. I am still wondering about the high prevalence of COVID-19 in males. What is it? Lifestyle choices - smoking, alcohol use, the likelihood of other comorbidities, like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity...

Hey Team. So did my regular Monday test cyp shot. 42mg using Easy Touch 28 gauge 1/2’ into my right deltoid. I have been doing the deltoids for a while now with no issues rotating. So this morning when I injected I noticed after withdrawing an immediate bump formed. There was some blood drip...

Hello Gentlemen, For 2 years now I have been experiencing a lot of horrible symptoms that I didn't have before. I have been diagnosed with Anxiety, Bipolar, and Major Depressive disorder. But that's only some of the mental symptoms. Physically I have been getting symptoms such as hair loss...

I'm 60. Been on TRT about 9 months. I almost non existent sex drive, difficulty maintaining erections. Local GP and several endocrinologists all said basically I need TRT but my tests were not quite low enough, nothing they could do legally. One told me to go to a local gym, find the biggest guy...

PARTICIPATION NEEDED! Of those EM members that have taken nandrolone or are currently taking nandrolone alongside their TRT, we are conducting a small ExcelMale study to help determine the effect that nandrolone has on Total Testosterone, E2, Prolactin, SHBG, free T, and DHT while taking TRT...

I got this from examine.com and I need someone to make it easier for me to understand. I believe cucurmin did some suppression to my LH secretion. If so, how do we reverse this effect? Or when can I get this tested. 11Interactions with Hormones 11.1Testosterone Curcumin, at 100mg/kg bodyweight...

Does anyone have the link to the calculator that you would input your dose and it would plot the daily release and build up over the course of the week/weeks. Basically presented you with that sawtooth patten graph.

Just thought I'd get some feedback. Currently I am on T only HRT. Of course, my GnRH, LH, FSH, etc. are about zero. I'd like to try getting my GnRH levels back up to normal (since I am secondary hypogonadic) and see where my T levels end up. then if T levels are still low work on keeping GnRH...

Just wondering while I am trying out my HCG monotherapy which again seems to work in waves, sometimes it work sometimes it doesn’t. So back to testosterone, does anyone actually have morning wood with only using testosterone, no cialis no other supplements?

About 8 weeks ago I had a blood test. I hadn't been feeling that great and felt like I may need to increase my dose. At that time I was on 87.5mg p/w injecting EOD. Yes, I know 87.5 seems like a wacky number. It's just that because I'm injecting EOD, its only a small amount per injection and it...

I just wanted to ask you guys something. You guys mean to tell me if any of you were a reputable endocrinologist or urologist and a patient in his 40’s or 50’s came in to see you complaining of low libido, energy, ect and you had his Testosterone levels: the tests showed his “natural total T”...

Hello everyone! As some of you know I started my 160mg of cypionate once a week on Oct 3. I was very receptive to the treatment. Morning erections came back the second week and mood really improved. No more hitting the snooze button in the morning and so on...

I keep seeing creams as all the rage these days. I asked my doctor to try them, and the first 3 days I felt a raging libido and tons of energy. Just like whenever I up a dose only stronger. Now ever since I feel tired, irritable, brain fog, having insomnia, weak in the gym, etc. No classic sides...

hey all, my doctor prescribe me Testosterone Undecanoate and I think he got confused regarding the dosage. I am doing TRT and he wants me to take 25mg every 3.5 days, The testosterone is coming in a vial 1000mg/1ml and its a 4ml vial. I know that half life of this testosterone is: elimination...

Hi there, been injecting for about 5 weeks now, sub-q and abdominally with a 29g needle. At first, painless but injections this morning and Saturday were much more painful. I just found another injection site on my stomach which was much better after the initial painful prick. Is the pain due...

My doctor asked if I wanted to switch to injecting with insulin needles, I tried it and it takes forever to draw from the bottle. I read that you can heat it and draw at least 3x faster. Would this degrade the quality of the testosterone? as always thank you.

Hi there, since my SHBG is sitting at 58 nmol/L I am interested in lowering it and keeping my levels in check. I'm on Zinc, Vit D3, Boron and Magnesium and don't drink alcohol and it still keeps creeping upward. I'm considering a low dose (5mg ED) of Anavar which Dr Rand Mclain has used with...

Hey guys, about a month ago I crashed my E2 and felt awful, as expected. I've stuck to my Defy prescribed 150mg T cyp every week since, without an AI, and without any other "experiments." Well, I still don't have much in terms of libido, and I just feel all in all worse off than when I started...

Looking to hear some success stories and feedback from guys who are feeling great and achieving all their goals, how long it took them to find that sweet spot, and how long they’ve been there. To me dialed in would be doing well in these categories: Energy Mental clarity Strength/gym gains...
