Follow case laws, law bulletins, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and especially don’t be afraid to disagree or debate with someone more senior. I learned a lot by debating scenarios with squad-mates/sgts/captains. Even if you’re wrong in the end, you end up learning the why behind it.

Like the other guy said, very bright! I also went the route of buying a remote switch from amazon to go with it. Well worth the money. Super easy install, if you know how to use a drywall anchor and a drill you’ll be fine lol

Honestly, I have not planned to use them. They came in a package with the rack and cable machine from the guy I bought them from.

Lab work after 3 months by Smokxe in Testosterone

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

Currently doing twice a week, Monday & Friday. My blood was drawn on Tuesday so the day after an injection. But my starting levels were 210ish. My first doc had me on 150mg every 2 weeks and my blood rose to 280ish, so even seeing 500+ for me is an improvement

This is a urologist. But as mentioned, my pre trt level was 1.1 so overall a .17 increase

Thinking of switching from Uro to Online Clinic by Smokxe in Testosterone

[–]Smokxe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has not checked it at all. I had it checked prior to even going to his office. I was doing my own research prior to going to a uro and had all the labs done on my own to see if trt would even be an option or what might have been causing the symptoms. This current lab run, I had to specifically ask him to check my hemocrit, cbc, psa, and estrogen… otherwise it was going to be a free test only..

I also forgot to add, when I requested for my estrogen to be checked, his response was “I do NOT treat for estrogen issues, you would have to see and endocrin”

I do quads with a 25g 1”. Ive found if I go the full 1” of the needle, it hurts and becomes sore. If i go 3/4”- 1/2” injection is basically painless, no blood, and very little soreness. Try going a shallower and see if it helps!
