Vince's Labs from 4/15/24

What exactly are the potential benefits from HCG? I'm 61 with a vasectomy and could care less about sperm prod. Even testicular shrinkage is not really a concern. Having smaller balls is no big deal, my wife is the only person who sees them. How about sexual function, erection quality, arousal? Does it increase any of those?

Some need hcg for libido. Others who have been on TRT for a long time loses their libido and can regain it with HCG.

Also, it could help increase estrogen which many men cannot tolerate.

I feel better mood on it. Keeps testes alive, so other hormones are still made such as pregnenolone etc
 
I do 50 mg test twice a week and 500 units hcg twice a week along with 75 unit fsh twice a week, all shots on Sunday and Wednesdays
So total 100 mg test, 1000 units hcg and 150 units fsh weekly
Looks solid. I microdose like 10-17mg of testosterone cypionate nightly with a slin pin. I sporadically use HCG. I’m kinda a hybrid. Such low doses still allows some of my natural production to continue somewhat. Although it’s not impressive natural production for a 44yr old that has cycled, blasted and cruised for 14 years… it’s still something and I feel pretty good. And the extra 10-17mg boost of synthetic every night seems to be working for me.

Not sure if I’ll ever blast anything again. I would say at most I will do a couple of runs per year of about 200 cyp weekly, 150mg Masteron and 3-4iu of GH for probably 5 months a year total. I’m officially an old gear head now. The days of multiple compounds in the 300mg range are over for me. I’m trending more into a lean, clean living lifestyle lately anyway. More cardio and less muscle.
 
Vince - I'm just curious about the daily Test Injections. If you don't mind me asking... do you take all daily injections in the lower stomach area? Basically 365 injections in the stomach (yearly)? For some reason when I inject Test Cyp in an area around the lower stomach... a small knot appears. HCG injections.. no issues. But this knot area does't go back to normal for like... at least a week. When I inject Test Cyp in the deltoid... no issues.

Thank you so much for all of your posts and knowledge. It certainly helps!

No, shallow IM in shoulders, VG and Sub q in love handles.

 
Vince, the great numbers and low hct are why we don't like you lol!
In all seriousness, that is fantastic, glad all is working for you and thanks for all your info. Rock on mate!

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
