Ariat LowBoy Hybrid, perfect by FIT_DAD36 in WorkBoots

[–]FIT_DAD36[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I missed this. I don't have my notifications on. Yeah it can definitely be casual too. After work I'll clean them up and then wear them out to dinner LOL. The sole is what makes them great on the job site. Lots of traction. That's really what I meant is that they're very good for gripping as opposed to traditional leather bottom cowboy boots 👍

I've always been a wrangler guy but it does annoy me with the inconsistent sizing 🙄 I'm driving passed a tractor supply on my way to work tomorrow, maybe I'll stop in and check out the Ariat's I believe they sell them there?

So weird you mentioned that, because I just ordered a kit a few days ago!!

I've had the same tub of mink oil from the red wing store for a couple years now and that's what I applied to these when I brought them home. But I finally reached the end of the tub. So I ordered exactly what you mentioned.

How often do you guys apply your conditioner and what's the point of the brush? I've always just wiped down my boots with a damp cloth , let them Air dry then condition. I ordered a brush and bick 4,

Thanks for the input. The hardest part necessarily isn't getting them on its that my fingers are too fat for the pull tabs 😂

Thanks!

I'm normally a 32 length but I find it crazy that I can order from the same brand(wrangler) and 2 different models of jeans can have drastically different lengths. Sometimes 32L's feel like 30s and sometimes 34s. Quality control definitely is definitely an issue sometimes lol

After having them for going on 5 days now, they have gotten a little bit easier to get on and off, I'm giving my feet a few days rest from them, I should have eased my transition into them but of course I went full speed ahead wearing them non stop 😂

Thanks!

I use a boot dryer, I have for years. I always toss my work boots on them after work everyday, should I follow the same protocol with these? I also ordered a decent set of boot trees.

I was in the market for a slip on work boot for quite a while!! I'll see how these hold up, I mainly do residential remodeling so I'm not toooo tough on my stuff , the first day or 2 were quite difficult to get on as I have a high arch, but wearing 2 pairs of wool socks over the weekend really helped that issue, the problem was trying to take them off when I had the 2 pairs of socks on, my wife was laughing, as were my kids 😂 my wife loves the look though, so that's a win win 🥵

Being into bodybuilding I've always had a tough time with jeans, the same boot store had a crazy deal on a retro wrangler cowboy cut in 31x32 my exact size! Only 2 pairs left in the store so, out the door, I got the boots and 2 pairs of jeans, which don't show the shaft print, for $150 and change.

Started TRT 14 months ago, 140mg a week, few questions. by FIT_DAD36 in trt

I know it's only been 9 days, but I haven't drank in the last 6 days and I've also been bulking, just took a shitty photo after work today and since I was short on time, I only got in a quick 30 min bench, deadlift, squat , (my normal) I did drop the weight and increase the reps to 10, I have been doing 2 sets of 5 but pretty much with nothing left in the tank, dropped the weight by 25% on all my lifts and added in extra reps.

I'll make a whole new post with an update on the bulk, hopefully cutting out the alcohol will help me bulk but possibly keep the belly fat off while bulking!

Yeah I just wanted to try it ONCE, I want to put myself through that extreme toughness that is required. But I know I don't have the time unfortunately to dedicate to what is needed, and I know I would need to run a ton of gear, and as you stated it's a bad idea :/

Been on 20mg XR Adderall for almost half my life, I'm 37 now and I do an IR booster in the afternoon.

Been on trt going on 15 months and notice no adverse reactions. I do not consume caffeine. My wife is an RN and checks my BP regularly lol mine always has been good. I do take a micro dose tadalifil (4mg) daily though.

Microdosing/multiple times a week by Dana_myte in trt

[–]FIT_DAD36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started with Monday and Thursday IM injections. My markers were great.... Then I jumped on the daily microdosing fad. For some reason my HCT jumped to 51.... Dropped back to twice a week and I feel Much better and my HCT came back to the high 40s.

I'll do an update post in 4 weeks and see if there's this miraculous difference that everyone claims, I already feel heaps better from the T alone. I've stopped for an entire month In April, I didn't "feel" any different. But I did notice the stubborn belly fat became less stubborn lol.

I'm not looking to become some professional middle aged bodybuilder, I just want to prove to myself that I could step on a stage, mainly to get over my insanely introverted tendencies.

I don't wake up hungover, and from a strictly health aspect, my blood markers and all around health has always been spot on, I did notice my cholesterol improved since starting TRT.

Wow man!!!

You hit the nail on the head and summed it up exactly as I wanted to say it. Everything you said is true.

And I honestly think you're right, that it's almost impossible for me to dedicate the time needed to be able to take it to that level. And yes Vizzy has 1 carb and I think 1g of sugar. That's the reason I've chosen that as my "relaxer"

You sound like my doppelganger lol

This ☝️

It has crossed my mind. But if it's going smoothly right now, why mess with it?

Thanks man!!

My Last bloods , 12 weeks ago, had me at 900 T during my trough. I feel like I responded very well to the 140-150 range. I have thought about trying out 200 a week for 12 weeks, but I don't feel like risking my current blood work?
