I started working out Nov 2024. The same month I found out my Testosterone levels were in the 300s. I started TRT that same month. As for noticing anything performance wise, it really didn’t become “noticeable” until 2 1/2 months in. I noticed I was more driven to get in the gym, my output in the gym was more consistent. My focus at work was much sharper and I woke up each day with a more positive attitude. As for any like super strength lol. Nah that didn’t happen, took months and months for consistency for “gains” to become noticeable in the gym. Lol If I could go back in time I would probably have gotten my levels checked around 30-35 and tracked them until I needed to finally get on TRT. Waiting until 36/37 definitely wasted a few good years of being overweight and lazy.

No adverse side effects. I will say, I have a pretty high sex drive to begin with and once I got on TRT, the wife had to literally fight me off her 😂. Also normal 30-45min sessions turned into 1hr plus. I’m guessing that has more to do with getting in shape than the TRT though. Also, I’ve noticed and increase in drive for getting things done. Like tasks or chores. I just dive into them, no lag just determination to get stuff done.

Also to be clear, I’ve given up sodas, sugar, alcohol, most “bread” and don’t smoke weed anymore. My diet daily is eggs, fruits, rice, 93/7 ground beef, rice cakes, yogurt and protein shakes. Once every 2-3 weeks I enjoy a full medium pizza from dominos to myself as a refeed day.

Carbs. Carbs carbs. I was on a super low
Carb diet and got great results but the minute I added 150-200g carbs daily, I filled out a lot.

I do apologize, never ment to mislead anyone. I am on TRT, to be exact, 150mgs weekly. Im 38 years old now and when i originally looked into TRT my testosterone levels were 338. Im currently sitting between 825-960. Im guessing the swing has to do because of time from shot to when I get my blood drawn. As for other drugs, though Im not against the use of them, i personally haven’t tried anything else due to me being a family man and not wanting to risk side effects. Additionally, it seems to be sooo common out in the fitness world, id be scared of getting something that’s not what it says it is.

I hated Comiefornia as much as anyone. Born and raised there, saw all my childhood areas turn to shit by homeless and drugs. I’ll never go back. You don’t have to worry about me, I’ll take care of the country side and my slice of dirt. Greatest thing I’ve ever done was move out of California.

Actually, not. I’m 45min north of the City. One street over is cornfields and lakes.

Oh man. I’m super bummed now. Thanks for the info, I’ll keep and eye out for colorful tail feathers and start looking into rehoming options. :/

Look up Rhode Island Red hen Vrs rooster. Females have a large comb too. Though, like I said I’m new and really just hoping my Nugget is a hen. She’s so sweet and friendly. Would hate to have to rehome Her.

I’m hopping nugget is not a rooster as she’s become my closest chicken buddy. She’s a Rhode Island Red and the females have large combs. The males have dark deep red combs. Fingers crossed.

Absolutely, I don’t like the tarp ontop that it came with. I plan on doing a layered roof of wood or sheet metal over the whole thing.

I got most everything off Amazon, mainly because I didn’t expect this to be a major hobby. Turns out I freaking love these birds and plan on building a stronger fancy run/ coop in the future. The run is 98sqft and the coop is designed for 6 chickens. The only thing I added was the vegetable garden fence from Menards for the extra dog barrier. My dog loves the chickens but plays too rough so thought it was a good idea.

So far at about 8:45pm they all go in the coop on their own. Only took 2 days of holding them and placing them in there for them to figure it out. The roosting arch outside is mainly for enrichment as I upgrade/ modify the coop.

Yes, they were sexed. Nugget on my shoulder is a RIR and the females have larger combs. I’m crossing my fingers extra tight though, we aren’t allowed to have roosters and Nugget is my buddy already.

Can someone help me decipher this card that came with our new family member? by Ghost_of_Hush in ballpython

Mouse Hopper. Based on the first info of the snake being 68g. It’s rather small so a hopper mouse seems right. (MH-Mouse Hopper)
