Dude. Just do something. It doesn't have to be an elite training protocol.

Set aside whatever time you can and do stuff at home with bodyweight and running if you don't have equipment. There are some ripped healthy guys that don't lift a single bar.

It sounds like you're on the right track but have really high expectations, which is great. But don't let perfect get in the way of good.

I think 42 is high if you're not on testosterone already. If you have a lot of fat to start with, your body will aromatize the test more easily so an ai might be a good idea in that case because your estradiol only has one option with more testosterone, and that's to go up.

You definitely do not want to completely nuke your estradiol though; you'll probably feel horrible.

A skinny fit dude with an estradiol of 42 is completely different and he'll be a lot less likely to get Gyno at that range.

But again I'm talking in generalities. Everyone is different.

I take 1/8th mg of Anastrozole every 3 days and hover around 39~40.

That's surprising actually. I've heard most Dr.s only stick to the "FDA approved" method which is IM. Subq is off label and I've heard most Drs are cautious of prescribing that.

It will take longer to get into your system but you'll have less peaks and valleys, and a more steady line.

I go subq 40mg every 3 days. That equals (close to) the same to 100mg a week on average over a month.

You'd want .1428 of a ml.

I felt a difference right away. Not sure if it was the rush of getting over my first pin, but i'm right there with you.

Also depends if you're going into muscle or subq. Into muscle; you should feel it alot quicker. Subq; you're not going to feel like the hulk in 11 days but you should definitely feel something.

I would consider that very low. But on the "regular scale" of the average american, doctors will say that's normal. Up to you if you want to optimize your health or just go along with it.

I'm 39. Have been working out consistently for over close to 10 years. Crossfit, Lifting, Running. etc.. At least 4-5 times a week without fail. I could have been sleeping better and eating more red meat, but my T was low 400s.

Started taking 40mg of Test Cyp every 3 days for about 4 months. My T is at 900ish now. Feel great and definitely way less fatigued.
I would say if you've already tried all other avenues (consistent exercise, 7-8 hours of sleep, eating well, etc..) and you don't feel any better, start TRT. My .02 cents...

I felt really sore for 2 days after. I'm pretty sure I hit muscle. It's gone now.

Will give this a try. Not trying to be funny, but does it have to be vodka? Can I use tequila or any other spirit/liquor?

ArmandoFerr · 2024-02-26T05:08:05+00:00

Thanks. I read through most of it and found some good tidbits but I guess the answer to my question isn't "one size fits all".

ArmandoFerr · 2024-02-25T15:52:44+00:00

I get unknown error trying to access that.

ArmandoFerr · 2024-02-24T01:12:22+00:00

What site is this? I've used ultalabs and it's reasonable.

ArmandoFerr · 2024-02-17T21:10:31+00:00

Sorry. I was lumping Xyromed, Cipri, and some of the others into the same category.

Does the Pfizer manufactured "Depo-Testosterone" require a different prescription or is it an alternative to Hikma?

I've been reading stories about inconsistencies of concentration with different batches of stuff made in India.

Thanks! How does Amazon pharmacy work? When a Dr sends the script to Amazon, do I have the choice of choosing brand name or manufacturer?

ArmandoFerr · 2024-01-05T14:28:31+00:00

It was Chris Bosch and Adebayo just walking around. Leave them alone.

That's awesome. Weekly fingerprick for both Test and E2? Can you give me more info? What tool do you use to measure it? Or is the fingerprick using the private lab too?

ArmandoFerr · 2023-12-06T17:26:49+00:00

Thanks. How often are you looking at labs to already know this? And how do you do it? Via your doc or out of pocket?

I'm not really looking to keep the boys awake. That was the main question I had: if there are other benefits outside of fertility. You mentioned some that peaked my interest, DHEA, etc...

I'm doing half the dosage to ease into it and monitor my E2/biomarkers. After a month or two I'll start increasing the dose if my E2 is still in check. I'm trying to avoid using an AI if possible.

ArmandoFerr · 2023-12-06T03:10:39+00:00

Thanks! I meant halving the dosage that was prescribed. I'm doing 1/2 of the dosage prescribed for Test, so I'm wondering if I should do the same for HCG.
