I finally know what it’s like to be in the sweet spot, it’s amazing. Awesome energy, no brain fog, great libido. My total T stays around 600-700, free T in upper middle, E2 is normal around 25 with no AI, zero side effects. Less is more, try it. You need to give it 4-6 weeks once you change your protocol.

[QUOTE="Cyclingislife, post: 201191, member: 42611"] Nate, I have had a similar experience on trt. Tried on and off for five years, always felt like I gained weight, looked puffy, never felt good. Never got the benefits everyone raved about, it never worked. Ironically, my best days were 2-3 weeks after I came off. I recently tried it again & through a lot of research I figured it out.
