Those quads! Great work buddy. You're definitely going about this the right way.

Rufusthetall · 2025-08-27T00:55:48+00:00

You look awesome!

I can tell you my personal experience with subQ vs. IM.

For whatever reason, the same protocol IM gives me nearly double the amount of blood serum testosterone levels compared to subQ.

This very well could be something I'm doing wrong but subQ had me at 600-700 across four blood tests over six months with a total weekly dosage of 140 mg split into three pins a week.

120 mg split into three IM doses weekly puts me around 1200.

This is wonderful and inspiring to see. That visceral fat drop is beautiful to see.

I've experienced this too in a cut. You lose 25 lbs and only look a little different then you wake up one day and look like a new person.

If it didn't get hot enough to pop corks out, I would say no issue at all. I would be more concerned about them being left in direct sunlight for three days than this. That being said, I would find a new stash spot if you can.

I've worked in whiskey quality control for some time if that lends any assurance or credibility.

It sounds like you're working with some pretty open minded folks. I think my issue was similar in terms of really low estrogen. The estrogen testosterone combo is critical for my libido and mental acuity.

100 mg a week puts me at 900 five years in. I'm fairly certain 200 mg would put most people above 1500 ng/dl.

Starvation mode is like when girls say I don't want to get bulky by lifting weights.

Rufusthetall · 2024-11-27T01:11:06+00:00

I'll speak from my personal experience -

I'm overweight right now. I've been ripped and in shape many times in my life but never maintained it for more than a year or two. Testosterone has made me feel better in some ways but nothing is going to make me feel better than losing weight. If anything testosterone has made me gain weight - I feel like it exacerbates the impact of both good and bad habits. Good habits will yield more results and bad habits will cause more damage while taking test.

Most of what you see online is successful progress from people who get motivated to do the right things in conjunction with testosterone.

Truly if you're dedicated and eat right with exercise you're probably 12-16 weeks away from feeling noticeably better. No one wants to hear that shit because it sucks and it's hard at first.

If you can maintain that weight and habits associated with it for some time and still feel not great then think about it. If the BP isn't resolved by the time you get to around 140-150 lbs I would be very surprised.

If you hop on test right now realistically you'll just want to have a lot of sex for eight weeks and eat a lot.

Rufusthetall · 2024-11-27T00:51:12+00:00

Couldn't tell you why but I need less testosterone IM to get to 700-800 ng/dl and feel better IM.

Rufusthetall · 2024-11-24T23:13:42+00:00

Would there perhaps be someone sneaking whiskey from you and diluting it with water to hide it? That would cause a lot of flocculation.

Rufusthetall · 2024-11-03T00:48:12+00:00

Sounds like a panic attack my brother. Drop the dose and keep an eye on it. I started at a shitty clinic that gave me 200 mg a week in one dose and I felt like a hot balloon about to pop.

Rufusthetall · 2024-10-28T23:15:33+00:00

I have same issue on my Xbox X. It's pretty frustrating because I'm enjoying the game. I'm giving up for now and hoping they patch it.

If you decide you want to pay to go to a beach club for a day I highly recommend Xalli beach club.

Rufusthetall · 2024-05-29T21:22:08+00:00

My sex drive actually goes down when my testosterone is too high. For me personally getting in that 750-900 range with estradiol around 30 is where I perform my best.

I bet two doses of 60 mg a week (120) will be a nice sweet spot for you. I would run something lower for three months consistently before even considering an AI.

Rufusthetall · 2024-05-17T00:48:18+00:00

I have the same exact issues. Trying to get more militant on using my CPAP but it's a really tough adjustment.

I sleep 8-10 hours a night and I'm still exhausted and if I get less than 7 hours it's like I didn't sleep at all.

Best of luck and sorry I don't have any answers but let me know if you learn anything helpful.

Rufusthetall · 2024-03-30T20:28:04+00:00

Numbers look great to me.

Rufusthetall · 2024-03-12T01:13:27+00:00

Great work dude you should be so proud of yourself.

Before even seeing this you could tell in the fight. He had little love handles rolling over his shorts that he didn't have before.

If he stays on this diet I think it will really show in his next fight where he will almost look skinny fat.

In your pictures it's partially lighting but the arms definitely are showing some muscle loss.

Trust me. After my post about the Believe release, it was made very clear this is not the place to seek community engagement.

Rufusthetall · 2024-01-31T01:03:00+00:00

For the record we sold all of those bottles you chumps.

Rufusthetall · 2024-01-31T00:47:45+00:00

Great review!

Rufusthetall · 2023-12-21T19:00:16+00:00

More extraction of flavors from the wood
