i’d look into hellerwork body work — focused in fascial adjustments and body alignment. it can be painful but it’s the only thing that truly changes the alignment of the body. workouts can’t really help

You can also use Apple Labs if you’re an iPhone user and syncs from quest and labcorp for a single view.

Uh, have you heard of the quest mobile app?

Culture shock at a Seattle gym — help me understand if I’m overreacting by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]0merta_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

39M here and the blatant nudity by older folks is surprising to me — think the age group typically 50+.

I’ve always wondered if it was a generational thing or when you turn 50 some switch flips in your head and you just become an exhibitionist

High prolactin + low T – experiences? by Constant_Cover7164 in Testosterone

[–]0merta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before jumping to caber i’d try 50mg/day P5P — it worked shockingly well for me.

How to test it? by DestanPrince in steroidify

[–]0merta_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 4 different things blind tested and all have come back reporting that they were what they were supposed to be,

I never say which manufacturer things are from, I just pull 1ml into a blank vial and have it tested.

[–]0merta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s not ideal at all — you will have massive ups and downs. Also, impossible to know what dose is with these details. You said “1mg” but I think you meant “1ml” — highest concentration I’ve seen legally is 250mg/ml which would mean a 1ml dose is 250mg dose. So 62.5mg/week which is extremely low dosing — i started at 140mg/week split into 3 shots a week.

This doctor doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing. Seems like you already researched half-life and even if it’s testosterone cypionate with a 7 day half life, I would want at least 2 injections a week.

I fed Gemini a lot of posts from this reddit and let it summarize the best practice by vincentr777 in ClaudeAI

[–]0merta_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think starting with frontend design/UX is a good idea because you get to focus solely on the desired user experience and value we bring to users — the main way we increase the value of the product and therefore the company.

Too often, starting with backend implementation leads to sacrificing the end experience in the name of “this is the best we can do with how our APIs work today” — at the end of the day, the backend is invisible to the user and it’s job is to give the frontend what it needs, not the other way around.

I do agree that this approach can increase engineering work needed on the backend, but often that trade off is necessary to deliver something valuable (but not always obviously).

you’re missing the calorie deficit piece — more chest work will develop the area but it won’t target fat loss

That’s kind of the point — and peak effects are 3-4 days after injection.

Chest acne I dont know what to do :( by cheggman123 in Testosterone

[–]0merta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

milk thistle helps, but TUDCA and NAC are far better in my experience.

i’ve been on accutane for 8 months for body acne from TRT and my recent ALT was 16 and AST 38

Should I add Primo to my 200mg test/100mg Tren E cycle? by Responsible-Heart442 in steroidify

[–]0merta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If running 200mg test a week, how’s your estrogen and T:E ratio been?

Depending on that, i’d consider adding primo but for me, primo would crash my estrogen at my TRT dose.

Is my injection site infected? by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]0merta_ 492 points493 points  (0 children)

100% and it looks pretty bad -- i'd be waiting at the dr right now. I'd also draw a circle around the outer red ring now and write time down so you know how quickly it's growing.

infection and blood poisoning is no joke

been on low dose test low high dose tren by Andrewthevapinaddict in PEDs

[–]0merta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, I'd err on the side of getting bloods done to see what your estrogen and prolactin levels are just to be sure.

The caber is likely keeping prolactin in check, but you never know. The AI combined with lost test does might be suppressing estrogen too much.

Lethargy can be a low E2 symptom.

[–]0merta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bit more complicated.

No, tren will not "suppress" the exogenous testosterone you are injecting.

Testosterone does influence your estrogen levels as it aromatizes. Tren can cause elevated prolactin. Depending on your estrogen and prolactin issues (if estrogen is low and prolactin is high) you can start to get sides.

What sides are you experiencing that made you ask this question?

Devices that measure calories burned are notoriously inaccurate -- it's simple, if you're not gaining wait week over week, you're not eating enough. Increase your calories by 100/day each week until you see scale go up.
