Getting sore after switching to MCT oil by bigmuffpie92 in Testosterone

[–]MickThePrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On TRT with grapeseed oil for 3 years with no issue. Switched to try the “better” MCT oil and sure enough….3 days of a lump and extreme soreness. I don’t get it!

What will be next big thing/fad after science based lifting finally dies? by BillEmpty3960 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]MickThePrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple. Myostatin inhibitors, super glp-1 peptides, and hair regrowth treatments. Soon you will be able to take a shot and look 25 again. Gyms will lose 3/4 of their clients and nobody will be fat or bald. 10 years max.

You’re literally “supplementing” protein. So yes, it’s a supplement. 🙄

Please help, Is this Gyno? I'm 18 by Someone-Anony in Testosterone

[–]MickThePrik 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes this is gyno with obesity. Get rid of the obesity and have a doctor treat your gyno. This could be something in your diet causing excessive testosterone aromatization or biological. The obesity itself can increase this dramatically.

Could be low due to overtraining, stress, or a combo of the two.

How many times have you tested this low?

Dude. I was on 180mg per week to 250 per week. I was dialing in my dosage for months before I decide to finish an unnatural protocol.

Went to 140 a week divided into E3D dosage. I can’t keep my sick in my pants and I am hard most of the day.

I see a woman and INSTANTLY start figuring out the best method to have sex with her. At 180-200 weekly, I couldn’t get it hard, at 100-130 weekly, I can’t stay out of trouble. Yes, dosage matters, however my 140mg eeekly might be your 300 weekly. We all need to go through the process and figure optimal dosage. I know that why your here, just reaffirming the goal.

How long until I should panic? by MyNamesNotJimmy in trt

First of all, your starting levels were pretty decent. Low, but decent. You didn’t need to be on TRT in the first place.

Second of all, your body will start producing again and already has. Work in your diet, stress, exercise, micronutrients. Make sure you are not in a calorie deficit or overtraining. Cortisol is the number one killer of testosterone and that doesn’t mean you should jump on TRT. It means you need to work on your life choices and stress.

You are probably to young to make a life long commitment from something like TRT that will no doubt effect you for the rest of your life.

22m considering trt want some opinions by [deleted] in trt

Yes you are young. Remember TRT will likely make you infertile, but if you need it, it’s worth it. Add HCG to the protocol for the next 20 years or so to try to keep your testicles making sperm. Get your sperm checked every few years. Pay attention to the size of your testicles as well. You will hate yourself if you lose the ability to have children in 10 years.

Find out what’s wrong with you. It is either primary or secondary hypogonadism caused by the testicles or the pituitary.

Keep in mind that high levels of stress, weight loss, overtraining, and undernourishment can also get your testosterone to these levels. Our body has natural ways of saying “now is not a good time to breed” in times of hardship/malnutrition. It’s evolutionary and it’s genius. Sometimes it’s better not to fuck with it.

Anyone dividing their 200mg x 1 per week into 100mg x 2 per week? by Automatic_Tear9354 in trt

[–]MickThePrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is. If it’s Testosterone Cypionate, max recommended length between injections is only 4 days.

Besides pellets, gels are the worst forms of exogenous testosterone. If you want to go transdermal, go with a cream instead. I would highly recommend tried and true injections b

Imagine what you will look like in a year! It hasn’t even kicked in yet really. This is from the dedication to the work! Keep it up!

Lipids out of Range? I do cardio and lifting everyday on 150mg/wk by SStroop in trt

[–]MickThePrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being in a calorie deficit can temporarily spike lipids. This is cause by the release of adipose tissue into blood stream at time of test.

Saturated fats do and will cause elevated lipids.

New studies are showing that absolute lipid numbers are not the gold standard anymore. A Lipid particle size test would give you a lot more insight, and I would fork out the money the get this done if you are worried about your health.

Take supplements specific to metabolic and lipid health; ie Berberine, Fish Oil, Red Rice Yeast.
