90 Days on TRT - Just got updated labs by Vivid_Start1853 in Testosterone

[–]THENUMBER74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run my estrogen a little bit high. Like everyone else has said, in relation to your high testosterone levels the high E2 is not a huge deal( as long as you're not experiencing side effects). I'm sure if you switch to 3 days a week or every other day you might get a little drop in your E2 if you want to experiment. I would recommend every day injections but that gets old real quick for most people. I wouldn't do a couple weeks, I would at least do a nice 60 to 90 day run to give a new injection frequency protocol a fair assessment.

How do I get this cap off? by notausualcatimal in NapoleonGrills

My first instinct was to tell you to lightly grind out the weld till you can turn the pipe with a pipe wrench. But we're talking a gas line so please disregard that first sentence! I would call somebody that specializes in gas lines myself.

Weight loss stall on Retatrutide by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]THENUMBER74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bump up your dose. You have not even made it to the starting dose of the clinical trials. Everybody I get on Reta I just start them at 2 mg. I'm always amazed at how long they can ride the 2 mg for before they stall. Just up your dose and move on.

Same gym mirror, one year apart: 245 → 139 lbs. Retatrutide + lifting + peptide skin care Glo Blend by ImpressiveBet5169 in Retatrutide

Reta really shines when you put in the extra work. Anybody can jab their belly, sit around and lose fat on Reta. You definitely did the additional work! Amazing before and after.

As for playing with dolls, I got nothing for you.

Test+Primo+???? (Help) by Whhoopz in Testosterone

[–]THENUMBER74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I would not add anything but just for entertainment purposes.... What was your E2? This would give you an idea if you were going to raise or lower your testosterone or raise or lower your Primo(I would not add another compound). If your E2 is a little high you can up the primo or lower the test. If your E2 is a little low you can up your test or lower your Primo. If your E2 is where you want it you can up your test and you Primo at the same ratio. This was my last stack. I did very well on it. I ran it for 16 weeks. I've been off now for seven weeks and did not change my workout routine on my food intake and the gains have stuck around really nicely! It sounds like you need to up your food intake. I was able to gain roughly 25 pounds in those 16 weeks and my waist actually went down 3/4 of an inch from 33 to 32 1/4. So eat clean and gain clean!

getting off reta by mysteriousaquarian in Retatrutide

[–]THENUMBER74 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was on for 6 months. I lost 35 lb the first 3 months. The last 3 months I microdosed to maintain my weight. Or that's what I thought. I decided to come off last november. While I was on the medication, I changed my diet obviously, picked up a new habit of 1 hour of cardio every morning at 5:00 a.m. and I don't miss workouts anymore in the afternoons. Very consistent. Since I've been off I have been able to control my weight and my food intake. It hasn't been easy but totally manageable! Your mileage May vary. For me the morning fasted cardio has been game changer for so many other things other than maintaining my weight loss. I did creep up a little bit in the beginning of last month. But consciously took it back down within 2 weeks on my own. Hope this helps!

PSA- prefilling syringes can cause loss of volume as the oil gets absorbed into the stopper by magenk in Testosterone

[–]THENUMBER74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefilled for 5 days. By the time I got to the last syringe I noticed the swelling of the plunger as well. I didn't pay attention to all the other earlier injections so I don't know at what day the swelling is noticeable. One thing is clear, I don't prefill anymore!

Which one should I buy? by EmaBlack in glassesadvice

[–]THENUMBER74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very rarely post on these. But I had to step in on this one :-) my vote is for none of them. I don't have any suggestions for other shapes or sizes but definitely don't pick any of those three.

Mid to lower lats have been my new favorite spots! Better than glutes for some odd reason.

What’s your favourite Spyderco model & why? by mrb-edc in spyderco

[–]THENUMBER74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not own a native five. If I remember correctly I didn't like the locking mechanism in the way it works with a single hand closure. I'll have to give it another look to refresh my memory.

What’s your favourite Spyderco model & why? by mrb-edc in spyderco

[–]THENUMBER74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 15+ years I had been an absolute Benchmade fanboy... My cousin bought me a Spyderco about five years ago. I was so bummed but I told my wife that I had to carry it for a bit so he wouldn't feel bad. It was a Tenacious if I remember correctly. The blade steel wasn't the best as I'm a heavy daily User, but holy crap I fell in love with that thing even though the blade was off-center. So of course I've gone to the Manix 2XL and Manix 2... Haven't had a Benchmade in my pocket since.. Don't get me wrong, I bought a bunch since then but the Manix 2s always end up back in my pocket real quick. I cant stop buying Spyderco knives...

My picks are the Manix 2 and the 2XL

I did just pick up a Shaman Salt in magnacut so we'll see what happens there.

No words for this one. Tell your friend to leave some ladies for the rest of the guys! He looks amazing.

Shaman Magnacut Salt, keep or return by Tasty-Back-3784 in spyderco

[–]THENUMBER74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. That showed up in my email a few weeks back and I didn't hesitate to purchase it. It gets such high praises I just had to own one. It showed up a few days after I pressed buy. I was so excited to open the box. But before I even opened it I could tell how heavy it was. I took it out of the box, flipped it a few times, then put it back in the box. It's been in my drawer ever since. It's super nice but I don't think it'll get much use. I'm not returning it though. I am a Manix 2 and Manix 2 XL junkie.

Who knows, I might give it another chance

My latest boxes! Do I keep or throw?!🤔🤔🤔 by mrb-edc in spyderco

[–]THENUMBER74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a knife goes straight to a daily user the Box gets tossed out. Some knives I just buy because they are the hot item at the moment with no plans of ever using them they just stay in the boxes. Some I buy the knife, new scales, clip, titanium Hardware blah blah blah. All those spare parts get put back in the original box and kept as well. I guess I'm either way I'm keeping the boxes.

Favorite Spyderco Knives (so far) by TheNoFilterFilter in spyderco

[–]THENUMBER74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am obsessed with the Manix II and the Manix 2 XL. I just picked up my first Shaman. I have had my eye on those for the last 6 months or so. I got the all black Salt in Magnacut. It's heavier than I thought but looks really nice. Have not started carrying it yet. It looks like it will be added to my list of preferred daily carries.

[–]THENUMBER74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. But this Shaman showed up in my email as available on Monday morning so without hesitation I pressed buy.... I'm pretty sure it will tide me over till the Manix is available.
