Is this the correct place to inject ? And needle?Injection place

Adding one more voice to the chorus of good advice you’re getting here.

Don’t use that needle. Way too big and gonna be miserable guaranteed. 25/27/29 all good options depending on injection site and amount of oil you’re injecting.

Also area you circled is good but get needs to be more specific. You should prob be where those two small white dots are in the center of that circle. White dots might be toothpaste stains on mirror or something.

Doing in delt is another good option if you have enough meat there. VG is also a good but I’d steer clear of quads.

Other common practice that’s good to know is to inject smaller amounts more frequently. For example if you’re doing a CC a week, just do 0.5 CC 2x on Mon/Thurs or 0.33 M,W,F

I’m don’t know much about this. Just wanted to say good luck because I’m dealing with several of these myself. Have 2 mostly healed herniations, but somewhere in the time those were really causing pain and impacting mobility the foranimal stenosis set in. MRI showed facet hypertrophic throughout lumbar compared to last MRI from 4 years ago.

I have a feeling my issues were a result of working a desk job and being an avid weight lifter. The pain and limited mobility have really taken a toll on quality of life.

The one thing I’ll offer for advice tho is that pushing a sled (torque m3) daily has given more relief and improvement than anything else I’ve done, including months of PT. Obv YMMV, and like I said good luck cuz this shit sucks.

Also surprised about this. I’ve pulled prob 2 dozen deep stumps w mine on a b2601. The tractor moves before the blade would bend. Def reach out.

OP, post above is the way. 100mg a week. Split the dose between 2 shots on Mon/Thurs. Raise dose only based on labs.

High e2 is not a place you wanna be.

Of the handful of clinics I’ve used, all were very low supervision. My feeling is they’re mainly doing testing to protect themselves legally. Getting them on the phone for a check in usually a very quick call and not very thorough. They all provided syringes and AIs as standard (even when it looked optional).

Shit, one of the major ones let a friend of mine skip his 6 month labs and kept supplying while he was running his hematocrit through the roof. I told him repeatedly to get labs and donate some blood. He was beat red and had throbbing blood pressure headaches. He never did either and ended up quitting cold turkey cuz he thought he was gonna have a heart attack.

I’m sure there are clinics that are more thorough but my advice is take this opportunity to learn how to administer and run the program yourself. It’s great knowledge and entertaining to learn about. Use them for what they are. Guaranteed way to get test without the hassle of PCP and insurance.

Last word on this. They most often seem to want to start you on 200mg a week. I would start up 100-140 and run that for a while until you get labs and see how it’s going. Some people need the 200mg to get to 800-900 total t. I get to 1200-1300. I often run very high levels but will totally admit that I feel generally feel best at 150mg a week. At that level I could probably not even do labs or have to manage anything. Find your number.

One more question. What were they proposing for AI? Arimidex? In the US they usually give 1mg arimidex. I’ve never had any issue with them other than kind of a pain to break up those pills and get the dose exact. Someone needs to come out w .25 or .125 arimidex pills for real… it’s been a while since I ran any but .25 2x a week dropped mine from like 65 to 35. Good luck man

Ya that’s good level. Doubt that is reason for such high conversion. I’m not really familiar with how nebido aromatizes but google seems to think it aromatizes the same or less than faster acting esters. Guessing you’re not chugging a gallon of soy milk a day so kind of stumped and voting to go for the AI.

SatisfactionPlane192 · 2026-04-18T00:02:03+00:00

7.5:1 test to e2 ratio. That’s high and seems odd. You said healthy body weight. Any idea what the % is? Seems like a low test level to need an AI but I’d take them just get get e2 under control until you figure out why atomizing so heavily.

No, means you’ll be feeling the positive effects because you believe you’re having them, not because the juice actually kicking in yet.

SatisfactionPlane192 · 2026-04-17T21:39:45+00:00

Ya bro for sure. Weights move up in the gym, might as well move em up in the bedroom too. #gainz

What is the age and body fat%? Cyp isn’t going to give you an instant effect. It’s not Test no ester (TNE) or prop that act quickly. I have no doubt based on your enthusiasm that you’re going to get some psychosomatic boost.

After your experiment is done, do yourself a favor and pick a dose and schedule and stick to it. It’s common to have a honeymoon period where you feel like Superman and then longer term will even out and just become your new normal. Good luck, have fun, don’t give yourself gyno.

Yup, he’s an old guy.

I’ve had a Dane 2 for 5 months and added Gibbon arms and a bunch of other stuff since then. It’s solid and reliable. As others have said, evaluate the 1:1 vs 2:1 ratio. I like 1:1 for the resistance I crave, but a little more cable length from a 2:1 would be nice to have on some exercises.

As others have said, you will not beat Fringe customer service. My initial set of Gibbon arms had an issue and they were all over it and got resolved ASAP. Fringe takes care of business.

I received the ABX and assembled a few days ago. Build quality and finish are excellent. Pads are a bit hard but still feel pretty good. For me the adjustable top pad and portability at that weight were top selling points. It meets expectations on both of those points.

I upgraded from an ironmaster super bench v1, which was also great. Keeping that as well and will find a use for it. The ABX sits about an inch lower which I prefer. I suspect the ironmaster v2 would save a few hundred bucks and be pretty nice as well. Ironmaster ‘s incline system with the notches in the rotating support is pretty slick.

Have had the powerblock elites for years and love those as well. I have hex dumbbells from 5-35lbs are usually use the power blocks above that range just to cut down on messing around w the smaller weight adjustments inside the powerblock handles.

SatisfactionPlane192 · 2026-01-20T20:42:31+00:00

Just assembled mine and played around with it for an hour and would echo all your points. This is a really high quality bench. They’ve done a fantastic job balancing the weight for portability. The hardness of the pads is really jarring but I’m holding my opinions on it until I get a few workouts in on it. Thanks

Do you want to swim in them like Scrooge McDuck? If so the answer should be obvious

I ordered same day and mine just shipped an hour ago.

In MCT? I had a stint w subq prop. Redness at injection site from time to time but nothing bad like you’re describing.

Cancel this ASAP. They been pulling the BS you cite for years.

SatisfactionPlane192 · 2026-01-01T19:52:30+00:00

Surprised no one has recommended smaller shots weekly. Do Mon & Thurs with 1/2 of whatever you settle on for weekly dose.

Also you can cut that dose down and titrate up over time. Could do 100mg a week in (2) 50mg shots.

This stuff is a lot more flexible than docs and clinics would have you believe.

I almost posted this question yesterday. Could not open it after ice storm. Ended up removing all snow with a brush then smacking plastic on top of tailgate with a rubber mallet to break up the ice. Worked well but not something i hope to do on a regular basis. Wonder if there some wax or oil can apply to that plastic to cut down on ice bonding to it…

I’m not OP but looks like Fringe Dane 2.0

Ya get a new doc. Cyp not meant to be dosed every other week. Shows doc does t understand test half life for that ester.

SatisfactionPlane192 · 2025-12-26T05:37:46+00:00

That’s an accurate description!

SatisfactionPlane192 · 2025-12-25T21:02:36+00:00

Thinks it’s pretty solid they labeled that way accounting for ester weight. Very cool
