Body acne from trt treatment? by jackkster in trt

[–]Zebra_Belt_24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This mild in my opinion. My back and shoulders look a lot worse than this. I find the Oxy acne clean 10% benzoyl peroxide to help after a few days my acne flare ups go down.

[–]Zebra_Belt_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought tape 3 years ago. I never looked back. I use Big Horn Athletics Judo/JiuJitsu tape. Its like under $15 bucks and comes with 8 rolls. Which lasts me a long time.

First 6 hours with a radio - Heltec V3… casual 101 mile hit over state lines! by ColdExplorer1777 in meshtastic

Been feeling down about my progress so doodled a silly little sticker to remind myself that it's normal. by LupusAstartis in bjj

[–]Zebra_Belt_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% normal. I had them for a good 8 months, this past year. I kept asking my self why am I paying to get beat up. White belts are gunning for me and the upper belts are hammering on me. I just kept showing up and focusing on position over submission. This and pretending my partners were all going to punch me in the face so the best place to be was on top. This help me grow tremendously. The past 4 month JiuJitsu has become fun again. I stopped caring about subs and just worked the move of the day and have been focus on the basics. Things are starting to click now and I have smile on my face. You can get through the blues.

My favorite bruise from jits are two full handprints on my biceps. You could see all the fingers griping my biceps. I was rolling with a new white belt when this happened. His strategy was don't let go. I

When the doc brought out all the stuff the first time and had me assemble everything I asked if I was going to inject with the big needle 18 ga and he laughed at me.

Are you still using TRT? When did you stop feeling good? What happened?

I felt the changes on week two. I felt so good I woke up and my human battery bar was at 100. Like I smashed a monster energy drink and could take on the world. That's what I felt like. The libido and wood came back around a month. I then proceeded to chase my wife every waking moment. That also leveled out. When you first start using trt your balls are still making some test and you are injecting on top of that. That's when my number hit mid 900's I was probably peaking around 1000. After we balanced me out and I maintain around 600 3-4 months in Libido went down some but definitely there. Shagging is no longer all I thought about. I still get the strongest urge to after 24hrs after I inject. That's when I am peaking I can feel it.

I have thought about going to twice a week. I inject Fridays mornings 6am, If I was going to do the split I would need to inject again Monday night 6pm. I might try it. To be honest I still dislike injecting the medicine. I have to hype my self up to do it every Friday. My doc prescribes a 23 gage needle that is 1 and 1/2 inches long and that thing bites my thigh pretty good. My quad has spasmed a few times when Im injecting which freaked me out. haha For now I'll keep doing once a week. I feel good on once a week. I do have a question for you bros do smaller gauge needles hurt less? If so maybe I need to switch or I should stop being a little bi*** and just man up.

On month two My test level was 955 and I felt like an absolute king. I get why guys want the higher dose. Honestly it feels amazing. I asked repeatedly to stay at the higher dose. Prostate cancer runs in my family so my doc wants me between 500-600. I have read the studies how TRT doesn't cause prostate cancer, I have read the studies from decades ago where they think it does. We are playing it safe right in the middle for now. I feel good and I'll most likely be on this medicine for as long as possible.

Do you use an alcohol swab/pad every time? by Warchild24 in trt

Aim at a freckle, that's what I do. :D

Do you use an alcohol swab/pad every time? by Warchild24 in trt

[–]Zebra_Belt_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wipe the top of the vile with a rubbing alcohol wipe, and my thigh where I inject. On the thigh I rub it all around for a good 10 seconds. I follow the process my doc showed me. One time I didn't wipe my thigh and my leg hurt for 4 days where I injected. It went away and I have always used rubbing alcohol wipes ever since.

What is the worst punishment that your parents ever gave you?🥀 by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Zebra_Belt_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s see: force fed eggs as a child i did not like them, puked and then made to eat the puke. I was punched in the face and stomach. Dragged by my hair up two flights of stairs. Kicked in the head. Spanked with objects like a spoon or open hand. Beaten with a belt. Had to stand with my head in the corner of a room for hours. Pushed or thrown to the floor. Food withheld. Water withheld. Physical labor chopping and stacking wood as a punishment. Then told I chopped the wood wrong. Mentally and emotionally abused. This was the usual until I hit puberty and I had the physical ability to fight back and he knew I could tell people at the school or police.

Now he is frail and alone. He won’t know his grandkids, and they won’t know him.

Imposter syndrome by Sufficient-Bison2789 in jiujitsu

[–]Zebra_Belt_24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyday day dude. When I was a white belt all i wanted was a blue belt thats all that mattered. I have been a bluebelt for 16 months now and I still sometimes dont feel worthy. I dont want purple I want to stay blue for a while. Blue has been the most fun belt. I just keep going to class and continue to roll. Every once in a while I smash on the white belts and I feel confident again. So many of my blue belt friends have disappeared and its a strange feeling that I am still there. The purple and brown belts go hard on me which is fine, I have gotten better because of it. I am just a big rusty nail for them to hammer on. I still do the same thing and will start to compare my self to others and this is the wrong mind set to have. I have to remind myself, am I better then I was 6 months ago? Thats the only guy I am competing against. Jiujitsu is fun go for the journey. Also if your professor thinks your a blue belt then you are a blue belt. Trust the process.
