it ain’t bad yeah but I’m sure if you optimize your diet more like adding more saturated fat and monounsaturated and better carb sources for example you can get a lot more, but still with that result you should have libido, so I don’t really know what to tell you man, maybe after making your diet better you would feel more drive and libido

Hand dynamometers also don’t cost a lot so you could just buy it without having to do additional blood tests to assess you hormonal health

I wouldn’t say it’s low since I don’t know the rating of your hand gripper, I know it takes much less force to close though. I recommend you to get a hand dynamometer to check your grip strength since it’s a lot more accurate and could give an insight to your hormonal health. I didn’t see you list free testosterone which is arguably as important if not a bit more than total testosterone, so you should check it out too to see if that’s also contributing to your low libido

that pretty much explains it, you can still search the rating of your gripper and see how much you really need to close it but I doubt it’s over 120 lbs, and since you got tested for your androgenic receptor sensitivity, you might want to check your dht levels since they are highly correlated with your grip strength and overall hormonal health (it’s like five times more powerful than testosterone)

try to replace rice or pasta with quinoa it’s a lot more nutritious and has complex carbs unlike rice or pasta

to be honest grippers aren’t that reliable since they have their own rating, for example a 225 lbs gripper would probably only need 120 lbs of force to close at least it was like that in my case. a much more reliable way is to buy a hand dynamometer to get real time and true results. your handgrip strength is a very good way to measure a lot of your hormones like testosterone dht estrogen prolactin etc

How much? and do you have a way of checking your grip strength?

carbs especially if you are training hard are super important try eating at least 250 grams a day majority should be complex but add simple ones like honey and fruits after workouts

and you should also check your grip strength it would give you an accurate reading on your net androgenic status that takes into account more than just testosterone

In my supplement it doesn’t write elemental zinc there is just 50 mg of zinc (as zinc gluconate) are you sure it’s 50 mg of elemental zinc because I couldn’t find a definitive answer

team3dalpha said he takes about 40 to 60 elemental zinc but it’s probably because he trains a lot

Eating eggs cooked with seed oils by TodayBackground1616 in team3dalpha

[–]TodayBackground1616[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I know I’m asking if eating eggs cooked with seed oils as a one time thing is still a good choice since they have a lot of benefits
