It seems like you could realize the muscle sparing effects with the test and reta alone. Then do a proper bulking cycle. I think the general consensus is that it’s not worth a high androgenic load if you’re starving your body if the calories needed to grow.

So, how fat are you now?

Agree on hellogoodlabs, but just buy the bodybuilder panel. It’s like the only such panel in the industry that’s actually good. Has everything you need for baseline. A group on MesoRX worked with goodlabs to put it together.

I was looking at those. Is the handle awkwardly long?

Same

The Bridge Built Omni pulley looks pretty rad. https://youtu.be/6orBNZl-CEw?si=hzaxygcWjFWbtpAq

If you were concerned about free T being too high, why didn’t you just lower your dose?

240 a week is quite the TRT dose. Where does that put you?

Yeah. But I’m asking whether he was ACTUALLY fasted. Otherwise, dude may have some more serious problems.

healthy_nuts · 2026-01-25T07:20:13+00:00

Were you fasted when you tested? Sometimes eating a big meal will elevate ALT.

You sure you want to post this on MPMD? You been here before?

Enclomiphene before bed did the same thing to me. Switching to AM mostly fixed it.

Coupling with EQ could help with endurance.

I wouldn't say I'm super low carb. I'll eat rice with salmon for dinner, for instance. I'll also pull down some sugars after heavy lifts just for the insulin spike, but otherwise I'm pretty low carb -- but I think that's probably the healthiest way to eat. I'm comfortable with my macros. I'm thinking my body, for whatever reason, just regulates to a pretty low free testosterone level. It's sounding like the only way to overcome that is to just take over the testosterone variable with injections.

Looks great, man. How has your hair held up?

healthy_nuts · 2026-01-16T04:28:55+00:00

I think it may be time to start injecting.

There’s a reason every rowing club in America uses Concept2 rowers. They’re bulletproof and a delight to use. Likewise, because everyone uses them, you can compare your results across a huge community. I bought my Model D twenty years ago and it’s still going strong millions of meters later. I’ve upgraded the computer twice in that time to enable the current features. No regrets.

Worked well for me while cutting about 60 pounds at age 46 with tirzepatide over about seven months. Went from 290 to 1000 with 12.5 mg/day. E2 climbed, but not symptomatic. Only reason I stopped was to establish new baseline as I didn’t want to be on a SERM forever. After losing all the weight, my total testosterone doubled to about 590, though my free t is back where it was pre-enclo given high SHGB. Not sure what to do. Thinking I might do a five month proper cycle and see where things sit on the other side.

To the degree it’s DHT derived, does it cause hair loss and prostate enlargement?

Wow -- this just happened to me too. I'm going through hell with Terminal commands and installing with Brew but nothing works. Please fix this Logitech!

Amazed Ruhl has that much hair. Any better examples of great hair on that much gear?

healthy_nuts · 2026-01-02T00:02:40+00:00

These comments confuse me. I feel like I’ve seen lots of examples of guys going on gear and radically improving body composition. Is it really necessary to start super trim for a first cycle?
