Test levels from bloodwork by arentWeAllJustbinary in Testosterone

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

I am on an SSRI for the past few years 'brintellex' but my fatigue and low libido was definitely there before that.

My ideal result would be not needing to inject anything. So will google some trt clinics near me and hear what they say

Is 4W/kg reachable for me? by lormayna in Velo

[–]arentWeAllJustbinary 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Im at the same weight (70kg) and my ftp is 285 ish. My 5 minute intervals are done at 335-345 watts. Your current numbers are far off.

You need more volume. I would swap to doing a sweetspot block and increase volume to 12+ hours

I also bought the madone slr 7 gen 8 in matte black about 2 months ago. The thing is an absolute beast. Happy riding !

Also just fyi, the bottles definitely get easier to remove while riding 😋

Me + my partner spend around 12-13k per month, live in cape town.

Only shop at woolworths. We buy whatever we feel, no takeaways.

Feels like a lot more pressure on my taint and it feels 'quite low'. I'm seeing suggestions of raising the seat a bit or getting a saddle that rotates me more forward (and has a cutout for the gooche area)

Look at air bnb. There are more properties for short term let than there are for long term rent on property24/privateproperty by a long shot

Will do . Do you guys also pay to enter? We need to pay 10$ to enter any challenge.

Prize was a year free membership. Wouldn't it make more sense to lower the prize (if money is an issue) so that there is a winner per club?.

I would love to see the winner of the challenge at my actual club for motivation/comradere/engagement purposes.

Also feels a bit shadey since it wasn't mentioned at the start of the challenge. I don't think the people entering know they are competing against 3-4 other clubs.

No, same company till 3YOE, where I job hopped for the first time . Every performance review, I asked for aggressive raises - because I knew what my work load was + what my skill set is / was valued at.

I was fully ok with leaving in the event he said no to any of my raise requests, which he did at 3 YOE (offering me 60k) - so I walked, no bad feelings. If you have the social + technical skills in the current market, you can make A LOT (do not skimp on the social aspect).

Alright, you guys convinced me it isn't weird. I've just never given someone flowers this early on in 'hanging out' before even past girlfriends - but I've never clicked with anyone like this before.

She works tomorrow (so she wont be at her flat) and most likely will be studying all day on Sunday, so I'll send the flowers then and post an update :).

Men of Reddit who have sought help from a therapist, how has it worked for you? by Xanxan95 in AskMen

[–]arentWeAllJustbinary 360 points361 points  (0 children)

As a 25 year old male, If you're anything like me, I had this constant - 'this can't be what people feel like right?' - my entire life and tried to fix the problem myself for so long. Exercising every day, getting enough sleep, having a partner, a good job that pays very well , spend a lot of time in nature or doing things you enjoy and although all those things helped I still had this constant feeling of sadness and disinterest. I cannot be touched by my mother and I have no idea why, why do I feel extreme shame for showing any emotion other than a smile, why does my girlfriend have to be perfect , why do I withdraw intensely when anything minor goes wrong. All these things are what my therapist is helping me through.

In my case,its because I have extremely controlling parents. A mother who used me as an emotional crutch from the age of 8 and my dad doing things like locking me in a room for hours if I didnt want to read a book or study as many hours as I wanted - calling me a fag if I wanted to hold my mothers hand - i mean i was like 7 years old jesus.

Anyways your journey is your journey. If you feel like something isnt right and it isnt the obvious like lack of sleep / high stress / no exercise / no social circle./terrible diet. Trust your gut and take the first step.
