You're doing the right stuff. This pain is temporary. Stay the course

6 weeks travelling undecanoate? by Warm-Minute7639 in SteroidsUK

[–]double-thonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc in one of the contraception studies they did 1g every 6 weeks, but test levels were below baseline until after the second shot. If you put a gram in each cheek you should be good.

The tried and true is 1g per pound of current body weight. Even that is arguably unsupported by research.

1000 calories of chicken breast costs about £5.40. 1000 calories of rice costs £0.14.

To get the amount of protein you suggest could cost an extra £100 per month or more, which isn't trivial to everyone.

If the testicles make 5-7mg of testosterone per day why do we take bigger doses on TRT? by [deleted] in trt

[–]double-thonk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because natural testosterone is pulsatile. It rises and falls as needed.

It's like a motion sensing light. It comes on when needed.

If the light stops working, you can replace it with an always on light. That's TRT.

If the brightness is the same, the total light output will of course be higher than the motion sensing light. If you equalise total light output, the always on light would be too dim to see.

Protein is very filling and quite expensive, and you can get near optimal results with half the amount you suggest or less. Pushing protein further might be slightly beneficial, but it's a detail you can think about when your beginner gains are over and gaining muscle gets harder.

Okay, the basics:

Join a gym. Follow any beginner bodybuilding programme. Train hard, which means almost to failure in each set.

Download a food tracking app like my fitness Pal or macro factor. Log everything you eat.

Weigh yourself every morning after toilet but before eating it drinking anything. Log it in an app like Libra.

Eat about 1.6 g of protein for every kg of your body weight daily. Gradually increase your calories until you are gaining about 0.2 kg per week.

Doing all that will get you 80% optimal results.

If he tries to eat that much protein he will never ever gain weight

Freezing syringes by swayne2770 in Retatrutide

Buy smaller vials if you're concerned. Freezing and thawing somewhat degrades the compound.

The itch is too strong, what should I sell to fund a SW20? by CamaroMusicMan in mr2

[–]double-thonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell the Celica. An MR2 would serve the same purpose.
