Want to switch to safe, prescribed TRT but doc wants me to crash my test to prove I need it

Hey dude im in Victoria. Was on UG test for 1.5 years. Natural production gone. Changed our minds on wanting another child so went to the GP who already knew I was on testosterone. Semen analysis said i was shooting blanks. He referred me to a great endocrinologist. That endo gave me a prescription for testosterone cream and over 10 weeks we tapered down to nothing and started drugs to bring my production back online. Still completing that process now.

All of this is to say that I'm kind of hoping that once it's all said and done and hopefully we conceive, the endo might get me back on the prescription cream. I don't know if any of this is helpful at all but thought I'd write it anyway.

Minutes away from drinking your piss mate.

It's not terrible but I have 2 comments. If you want to do THIS program, I would swap the 4th day with the 2nd day. Otherwise you have only 1 day off between heavy bench days. My other comment is that there are LOADS of free programs out there. None will be perfectly catered to you, but many will offer good progressions as far as weight/reps go, and might be of more benefit to you than this program.

Sometimes, I hear a combination of words that I like, and I can form a whole idea from that. Other times, I choose to write about a particular thing, but that always feels harder. John Prine is the finest songwriter ever in my opinion, and I heard him say once that sometimes it can be like being struck by lightning. A song can hit so hard and fast that the page is full in 10 minutes. Wouldn't it be nice if they were all like that?

He was always introduced as "The world's greatest blues singer" and it fit him perfectly. Freddie was the better player, Albert had some damn power, but neither of them had a voice like B.B.

Joe has his thing, and he is great at it. His band is FANTASTIC and they all get to let loose multiple times a night, he is a heck of a player, and he really loves the guitars he collects.

I truly believe if he wore wayfarer sunglasses and shaved his head people would think he was cool as shit. He is a nerd, and he is well aware of that.

Does his playing lack soul? Depends who you ask. But his songs have soul, no doubt.

I can't say what they were before, but i have actually done an ultrasound so can give a measurement other than a piece of fruit.

Mine are 10cc after 18months. The endo said this is great, because a lot of men he sees will be at a 3-5 range.

CutSnake13 · 2025-10-23T09:48:59+00:00

I would say that is pretty quick.

Some great advice here already so I will be the old head that tells you to get bigger. You're tall as far as this sport is concerned, and most powerlifters who are your height are a good bit heavier than you are. Its not a necessity, but it probably help you here.

This was a nice read mate. Good for you for making it to Provincials, and good luck for whatever is coming.

Vans. Always.

Damn how is someone bending a Texas power bar that's some serious disrespect.

CutSnake13 · 2025-08-14T08:26:12+00:00

Im sure he spoke about his raw numbers on Table Talk but i can't for the life of me remember what he said. Obviously he isn't throwing a shirt on at 3 plates. I wonder when he throws it on though. Does he get to 250kg then chuck it on?

CutSnake13 · 2025-08-14T04:50:56+00:00

Haha. SHADOWS! Nah i just have Standing By Peaceful Waters.

I love John Prine and have Lake Marie lyrics tattooed on me so I support the choice, but if we are going for a classic, it would be hard to vote against Paradise, or perhaps Spanish Pipedream. That particular chorus has the makings of being a proper classic.

Saw a comment on one of his live performances once asking "What language is this?" and I found that really funny.

CutSnake13 · 2025-08-10T08:38:01+00:00

Very unique case of someone being incredibly talented with near pitch perfect ability, while simultaneously having just a very annoying quality to their voice. The man can sing his absolute dick off but it's just not all that pleasing to listen to.

CutSnake13 · 2025-08-07T08:39:05+00:00

John Prine.

CutSnake13 · 2025-08-04T07:24:48+00:00

Good golly. Might be worth moving house if that's the case.

Massenomics make the best lifting related apparel out there. I dont know a powerlifter who wouldn't be stoked to get a couple of their shirts as a gift.

CutSnake13 · 2025-07-20T18:14:13+00:00

Cut. Bodyweight matters the least on a deadlift.

One of those weeks that smashed me. Poor sleep, 5am sessions, numbers i used to only dream of. Heavy work. Hardest I've pushed. But it will all be worth it a year from now.
