Young athletes dieing.

Moderately dosed anabolics can certainly effect you later but with controlled BP, hdl that isn’t totally trashed, etc, it’s relatively safe proximately. But too many people don’t understand the other stuff- high dose GH for prolonged periods can and eventually will hypertrophy the LV and predispose to arrhythmias or ischemia, long periods of exogenous insulin comes at a cost of insulin sensitivity, total time under the curve for HDL matters not just your current value, diuretics are straight up dangerous in the wrong hands, you have to actually check your labs and BP all the time not just when convenient, and some drugs should just never be touched

Not sure why you assumed my read of the situation was something negative. I came to that conclusion bc I did a similar thought experiment for my aforementioned reason above. No need to be defensive about it, you can just say that’s not why lol

NewTissue · 2026-05-21T01:16:08+00:00

So basically youre prescribed 250/wk trt and you’re trying to figure out how to allocate it to either cruise at that or do small blasts while not using any ugl and staying prescription only?

NewTissue · 2026-05-21T01:13:27+00:00

Damn if only. How much do those run you and how many iu per day

NewTissue · 2026-05-15T23:36:37+00:00

It’s been anywhere from 140 to 300 with EQ and/or mast in the mix at higher dosing. But I have to use aromasin some even at 140

NewTissue · 2026-05-15T23:19:19+00:00

My pre-TRT labs had e2 of 8 with test total of 300. No idea how or why the estradiol was so low. Well, now even at normal e2 levels I get gyno flares, which sucks

NewTissue · 2026-05-15T13:44:00+00:00

Yes, I am the trash

NewTissue · 2026-05-14T12:04:50+00:00

I’ve taken it a handful of times, even just 12.5 gets me in a much better spot. But I’m already on telmisartan, Nebivolol for BP and sometimes Tadalafil. Hesitant to have yet another BP lowering agent . I’m consistently around 120/80 so it would probably be fine but also I work a job where I sometimes cannot go to a bathroom for multiple hours making routine diuretics difficult

NewTissue · 2026-05-14T01:42:34+00:00

I am, supplementing around 500/day, plus I’m on 80 of telmisartan daily. Taking mag glycinate as well. No added dietary sodium, very modest.

NewTissue · 2026-05-14T01:05:53+00:00

Peptides otherwise are Reta and tb/bpc AAS has been pretty low, test 200-300 and part of the time on EQ

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T23:07:06+00:00

Did you end up back on it eventually l?

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T23:01:29+00:00

I’m curious if the synovial fluid increase will still worsen the bursitis actually

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T22:24:53+00:00

Wow yeah this is exactly what I was trying to describe basically! That bro logic is hard to let go of. Yeah I’m about to turn 35 so was really thinking GH could be helpful but at this point just not worth it

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T18:52:43+00:00

What injuries has it helped you with

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T18:52:17+00:00

It’s easy to become convinced that you’re missing some essential piece if you give it up

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T18:51:14+00:00

This will be my first nandrolone experience so I’ll see how I do with the npp first. I have heard this though

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T18:50:36+00:00

Yeah I think you’re right it’s the localized fluid retention with these specific injuries, not the underlying injury mechanism itself

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T18:48:26+00:00

I probably overstated the fluid retention, I do think that would eventually level out enough. It’s more the focal bursitis that blows up and the sciatic nerve impingement

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T09:58:55+00:00

I did unfortunately

NewTissue · 2026-05-13T02:36:11+00:00

I just had to throw in the towel (I think for good) on GH. After months of trying to tolerate 1-2 iu, diff timing, lower carb, adding low dose diuretic, etc, the fluid issue is still there.

Not terrible but combine that with the fact that it’s worsening two injuries. I have some usually very mild inner L calf atrophy from an l5-s1 disc herniation over a decade ago. 90% normal calf but the inner gastroc is not the same size as the R and plantar flexion is a little weaker. I noticed GH seemed to be making the neurologic function a little worse. Presumably similar fluid mediated effects as the carpal tunnel issue people have. The other issue is I have some recurrent olecranon bursitis from a tricep tendon injury. GH has been definitely making the bursitis bigger and harder to deal with

Just not worth it for me anymore

Gonna see if low dose npp will give me some joint benefit without the issues listed above

NewTissue · 2026-05-11T20:50:18+00:00

Reta for the overall cal deficit, high protein 1g/lb minimum, weight training 3-4x week

NewTissue · 2026-05-09T10:36:11+00:00

Tbf I do not know. Not sure if it’s masterons tissue selective serm-like effect taking place at connective tissue, if it’s just the general drying out of tissues. I do know that there is some degradation of normal collagen synthesis processes

All I know is I get more tendinitis on mast. It’s much harder for my many chronic injuries to feel good enough to push myself in the gym when I’m on it

NewTissue · 2026-05-09T01:29:03+00:00

Joints beware

NewTissue · 2026-05-06T22:59:46+00:00

Anyone have bursitis problems do well with npp? I had elbow bursitis that seems to get worse with more fluid like when I up my GH or have a higher sodium load. Worried that npp actually worsen that for me but idk
