Interesting my regular doc gave me a prescription a while back and it just renews, but I haven't been getting them. For me they are free because we max out our deductible early in the year, but you only get 6 at a time. I think my dosage is 25mg but I'll check as apparently after my yearly checkup he auto-approved all of the scripts and one is waiting for me. Obviously the insurance company might grumble if I were getting enough for workouts. There is always SecureTabs. Although I take Lisinopril HTCZ I think it is my blood pressure was 110/60. My Cardura/Doxazosin had run out for about 5 days so I know it wasn't responsible. Between the Lisinopril, my L-Citrulline, and liquid tadalafil, plus a good hard 1 hour walk 5 days per week BP was good.
I've lost 20 lbs. over 4-5 weeks. Too many variables added to know why. I started taking my adderall which I'd dropped completely when I felt it was causing ED. Interestingly after probably close to a year??? taking the Nitric Oxide stack adderall is no longer affecting my penis or prostrate as I used to piss a little funny too. But it kills appetite and makes me sharper. I don't like taking it, but damn as a Software Engineer I am so much more mentally sharp. I was in a fog every day. Also kicks my ass to get to the gym. I really think that adderall is the major reason. but I added strict low-carb back, Lipo-C, DHEA (which is a not a good product per Dr. Saya). Lost 2 Belt loops which is nice. Occasionally I stall when low-carbing and actually seemed to start that way until adderall was mized in. It can't be good for me but I would love to lean out, plus it's practically free.
Thursday I beat my 6'5' 19 year old son and his girlfriend (a baller) in a pickup basketball game of 21 the other day. I'm at 260 lbs and still no real explosive jump, but I'm thinking of adding back low-carb protein and getting back on the weight training. Part of me says the Test is keeping my muscle so just continue the brisk walk and lose more fat first. I beat the kids simply on skill and smarts but my son must have blocked my shot 5-6 times. Luckily he was all baseball and tends to miss driving to the hoop which is why I beat him, but with just a little cardio and explosiveness I can do better.
I'm 47.5 which isn't helping but reluctant to add sprints/HIIT because I'm losing fat right now and don't want to risk a gimpy hamstring which happened last time and I was around 245. I'm 6'1 - 260, and due to upper body gains carry it well enough to be "handsome" to most women my age, but really think that 195-200 would be ideal to start playing hoops and such and possibly open the doors to a wider age range of ladies haha... By playing I mean playing in leagues or pickup games. I know guys our age often rip an achilles playing basketball but I'm hoping my 320 or so deadlift, and daily calf/Achilles stretching holds it off. Who knows though Kobe was beastly in shape and blew his out.
Sorry for the thread killer here this site is my only outlet as I have no local buddies on TRT and get carried away haha. Vince's size is where I need to be though I'm probably much bigger in the arms/back/shoulders, but I mean that total lack of visible visceral fat. I assume at a leaned body I won't be 160 again as a HS athlete because my structure changed after HS. But I really have absolutely no idea what a pure lean would be. (My high was 320 about 3 years ago). So my guess is anywhere from 195-215. But until I get there I don't know.
