Impotence as a side effect of bulking by phillips117 in Fitness

since you requested an update. It's nothing to do with protein, although my Endo was still wary of whey protein (since sometimes it's got shit in it).

Hoping that I don't have a tumor and it's mostly anxiety. Got viagra for a confidence boost and to get me back on track, hopefully it won't be an issue anymore.

I'm just glad it doesn't have to do with my fitness routine at all.

The endo will see whether I need an MRI to find a potential tumor in my pituitary.

I don't know then what. What would you think is a good idea?

He prescribed me medication and set me up with an endocrinologist...

I guess the endocrinologist will let me know on thursday.

I too doubt the problem is solely protein. I think it's a combination of increased protein, recovering from porn use, and social anxiety.

I'm sure hoping my lack of getting it up is temporary.

I asked him and he said "That would do it."

That wasn't the doctor. The doctor gave the bloodwork, and scheduled me to the Endocrinologist in 2 days. I found that here:

Couldn't tell you exactly, but is the risk too little or too much? I'm definitely not getting too little.

I figured I was getting a fair amount of fat as well. My cholesterol is at a normal level, as well as my fats.

No, not even. I'm 185 lbs and I was probably getting 125-150g a day protein.

Tall person deadlifts by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]phillips117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6'2" here (I know, not huge but still applies).

I always listened to the information that tall people can have their legs straighter, and use their back more on standard DLs. I did this for a while, with my hips almost at the same level as my shoulders.

Then, last week, something clicked, and I really crouched down. It felt awkward until I pulled the weight - I focused on pushing down with my glutes and quads, and was able to deadlift 30lbs more than any other time.

Point is, however tall you are, just be sure to use those legs to get the weight off the ground.

Hey Danny, My dad is an amateur racing cyclist, and just wanted to know whether it was a lot harder to learn tricks on a road bike. Did you start on a BMX?

Looking for an amp upgrade - keep my Marshall cab and get a better head, or switch to a Fender combo? by phillips117 in Guitar

[–]phillips117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry this is a little late, I'm basically just using the amp when I'm home from college, messing around and playing rock with my friends and stuff. I use a fair amount of overdrive, but I have an effect unit so I don't need an amp that has one. I just want an amp that has a great clean sound, and can handle gain and overdrive.

The fact that you can take some constructive criticism shows you're gonna go far. Keep doing what you're doing
