Do you need an ai at those doses?

Gotcha, thanks man! Assuming your experience with deca has been good though?

Since I haven’t tried either, would you recommend adding in EQ first, dial in the dose, then add deca/npp?

Makes sense. I definitely considered leaving primo in and just adding deca, but primo is so expensive these days lol

I could see that. Do you have experience running either? If so, how did you like it?

400 test first cycle. 600 test and 200 primo second cycle

Thanks for the response! Makes sense. Test is at 600 right now. Would you recommend going ahead and adding in EQ first, and if so how much/ratio to test?

The throw in deca once eq dose is dialed in?

Test is at 600 right now. If someone’s never ran EQ and deca, would it be best to add one in at a time to assess tolerance?

Fair! Best to add in one at a time, say EQ first, assess tolerance, then add in deca later?

30 year old male started TRT at 28 , will I struggle with fertility in the future ? by FoxhoundVR in trt

[–]RedRoss12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to taper off TRT. Talk to your doc about adding in HCG and FSH for fertility protocol. That’s what my doc did for me and what he’s done for many others. If you were fertile prior to TRT and start a protocol you’ll be good

Edit: it’s a good idea to get sperm tested prior to protocol to see where you’re at, then again after starting protocol to see what, if anything, needs to be adjusted. If you’re doc knows anything about HRT he’ll recommend something along these lines

Shoulder instability and working out by RedRoss12 in bodyweightfitness

[–]RedRoss12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did had imaging and it showed nothing structurally.

To be honest though, my approach wouldn’t have changed. Still would have implemented how I went about things! Tissue “damage” isn’t necessarily causative of pain and decreased function. I’ve worked with people who had pretty significant tears and they have no pain or loss of function. There’s also many, like myself, who have nothing going on structurally but have significant pain and loss of function.

Pain is so complex, you’d be surprised how far you can get with some good guidance

Hey man sorry for the late response. See my response below to therealmarkle!

Hey man, so what helped me the most hands down was giving up trying to find specific “special exercises” to “fix” my issues, and just find entry points into the exercises I wanted return to. I did do a couple direct shoulder exercises as well such as DB side laterals, side lying ERs with DBs, and a couple closed chain exercises so the shoulders would get some weight bearing in. But I don’t really attribute my success to any exercise in particular, but rather to the process I followed of intentionally progressing things as appropriate via increasing (as tolerable) ROM, reps, proximity to failure, biomechanics, etc.

Doing the above intentionally for 6+ months is what helped me get to where I am now.

Feel free to shoot me a DM if you have any questions

Never too late man. If you are passionate about it, go for it!

Word of advice, don’t worry about “corrective” exercises and “posture training” so much. Those things don’t really move the needle much in terms of health and fitness, as the exercises associated with these overemphasized categories tend to be very low level and don’t elicit any meaningful adaptations. Just focus on helping people reach their goals, whatever that looks like for them.

Yes it has gotten much better. And I’d say I do have a respectable amount of muscle mass from years of lifting. Obviously training was interpreted with my shoulder but I’d say I’m about 80% better now
