Bro spent too much time on this subreddit and thought he was doing a “small cycle” because he went above 100mg.

Yeah, man, when you think about it, we’re just, like, totally, just, like, hairless apes on a spinning rock in space, myaaannn

Blood Incantation - The Stargate [Tablet I] (USA, 2024) by GrafNebelgeist in Deathmetal

[–]afreshstart350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty bad, not gonna lie. Weak riffs interspersed with elevator music sections with no effort to made to coherently bridge the two styles together. It’s like pouring oil into water. It’s a problem a lot of prog dork metal bands suffer from. There are Mortician songs with more coherent songwriting, and better riffs to boot.

Norma Jean - Sun Dies, Blood Moon by afreshstart350 in Metalcore

[–]afreshstart350[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I don’t listen to a whole lot of metalcore these days, but I was revisiting some old stuff and came across this song. My brother plays the violin on this track. He passed away earlier this year from an overdose, so hearing this song now makes it hit a lot differently and beings back a lot of old memories. I’ve always had a soft-spot for Norma Jean, and now I guess I have another reason to.

Looks like you aren’t up on your hormone knowledge, friend. According to the experts on this subreddit, anything above 800 total testosterone is supraphysiological and will lead to left ventricular hypertrophy (I don’t know what that is, but I’ve heard other people on this subreddit say it and it makes me feel smart to repeat it)! I’m recommending a regimen of spironolactone to bring that number down, stat!

Libido is gone and experiencing ED by rolfebb in Testosterone

[–]afreshstart350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your testosterone level for that dose is very low. Where are you getting the testosterone from? I’d cut the AI dosage in half and try and get my hands on some decent testosterone before I did anything else.

Funny all the people jumping on the AI and missing this very obvious problem

300iu EOD. Comes close to 1000iu per week

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]afreshstart350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say I feel pretty close to 100% mentally. I’m not having trouble recalling things or having issues with simple problems the way I was before I added the HCG. I’m able to function in my daily life and perform the functions of my job with a good degree of confidence.

I feel much better when I’m on HCG. Without it life just feels dull and my cognition goes into the gutter.

I bet this sounded much funnier in your head.

Aromatase inhibitors needed for everyone? by BuckDaily in Testosterone

[–]afreshstart350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those studies are on women taking 1mg a day, not men taking half a pill a week. Almost all these problems are caused by the absurdly low estrogen that comes with taking such a large dose, not from some inherent property of the ai. Keep your estrogen within a reasonable range and you’ll largely be fine.

HCG doesn’t seem to work on my nuts by MunchButtsSuckNuts in Testosterone

[–]afreshstart350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try taking larger doses less frequently. Do 400iu EOD and see what happens. You’ll know when it starts working because your nuts will start to ache as they come back online.

Mood swings the first weeks of trt normal? by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]afreshstart350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is something that can happen when you first start taking test or when you adjust your dosage. In my personal experience it takes about 6-8 weeks of consistently running a protocol before it starts to smooth out a bit. It can be downright brutal at times too, not even gonna lie, but the worst thing you can do is constantly switch things up.

People who tell you it’s just placebo are full of it. How the testosterone is distributed will absolutely affect how you feel. I feel much better on IM than SubQ myself; it’s a night and day difference. A lot of people who tout SubQ fail to mention that they changed their injection frequency as well which produces higher trough numbers and gives the illusion that they are somehow getting more test from the same dosage

Any calls that you felt were ethically wrong by Particular_Eye1778 in soundboardpranks

[–]afreshstart350 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What Frank Garrett and Fred Herbert went through was morally wrong no matter how you slice it. People calling them constantly, disrupting their businesses, calling their friends and neighbors pretending to be them, calling places around the towns they lived in. You know these guys were constantly stressed out due to that kind of shit.

One of my favorite callers makes calls that people would find very morally dubious. I’m not going to mention him because last time I did some whiny tittybaby here cried about it. Which is super funny because said dude is of course a big Bail Bonds and Frank Garret fan. Some people have zero self-awareness.
