[QUOTE="stx359, post: 259156, member: 19129"] I understand people who make their living in fitness and/or sports pushing the limits because that's how they pay the bills. That being said, internet personalities aren't known for being 100% forthcoming. How do you know Efferding's true health status? My TRT journey began at 200 mg weekly on the advice of a TRT doc. My life became a neverending cycle of side effect mitigation, specifically acne, constant blood donation and corresponding iron deficiency and awful sleep. I spent countless hours and dollars in trying to solve these which led to more meds and more supplements with only limited success. It was careful study of the moderate voices on this site that led me to pursue more frequent injections at much lower doses (my doctor was no help). Years in, with the benefit of experience, I inject 15 mg a day of test prop (105 mg a week) and 500 IU of HCG twice a week. No AI. No meds for sleep or acne. I haven't needed to donate blood in three years and my lab values are right down the middle. I am 53 and not a day goes by that I don't get a compliment on my physique, but I attribute that as much to diet - I have a nutritionist and in order to train hard five days a week (Crossfit) I do not drink at all anymore. Anyway in answer to the question in the title of your post - is it possible to be healthy? I am skeptical. What blood markers would I like to see? At baseline before and at steady state on new regimen: AST/ALT Hematocrit Hemoglobin Cardio IQ advanced lipid panel from discounted labs Trough AND peak values for TT, FT, SHBG and E2. Non blood markers before and after: Lean body mass Body fat percentage VO2 max Blood pressure Some of these are pie in the sky but hey a guy can dream. You are actually doing the board a service in even submitting yourself to scrutiny on this and for that I thank you. You may be right - you may be able to pull this off - but this board is littered with guys who tried to push test levels and failed. [/QUOTE]
