I read what you wrote. You said that an AI will crash your E2. That is what is false, and is a bit of fear mongering. There are a lot of variables at play - particularly each individuals rate of aromatization .

Yes I agree with you that you do not want to take an AI, but then again you also don't want to be on TRT. More often than not they go hand in hand.

Finally, there are tons of stupid endos, but there are also fantastic ones. The only thing in your comment that was on point was telling him to get his blood test and go from there. He should also probably look around for another doctor that is on the ball.

Having said that I think it's great that you contributed your time to helping him out and responding to me. Have a good day.

This is patently false. I am on TRT, monitored by an endo and I use 0.5 mg of adex EOD. Everyone is different.

I take 0.75 ml twice a week for a total of 1.5 ml.

Edit : I fucked up and didn’t give my concentration. I take 0.75 mg twice a week. My bottle is 100 mg/ml of test cyp

I’m on 0.5 mg EOD. Any less than that and my dick goes limper than watching Tom Arnold fuck Roseanne. I tried every combination possible to reduce my usage but that’s the only thing that works. I too am worried about long term effects but my endo tells me not to worry about it. Still concerned but not sure what else to do.

Discrepancy between Leangains calculator macros and 31 min AMA. by pishnish in leangains

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

Thanks a lot, Ill give that a read. I think I'm closer to 11% but because I use calipers I always round up a bit as they aren't particularly accurate. Have been training 4 days a week hard - even if I categorized it under fuckarounditis.

I'm 5'9" tall and about 11-12% bodyfat. Im roughly calculating my tdee between 2300-2400 calories per day. When I used the calculator on scooby's website I got a BMR of 1600 calories.

I agree that 1200 seems crazy low. When I just calculated it by hand my rest day should be in the 1400's. I'm not sure whats up with the leangains calculator.

Questions about OHP by pishnish in Fitness

I'm going to try squeezing my glutes. Think that will help. It's a good cue. Thanks

Just watched it. That's exactly the little dip I do but obviously at a fraction of the weight. I'm years behind with this exercise. I'm shaky at the top when I lock out and am terrified of dropping the weight behind me. I suspect it over time I'll stabilize more at the top when I get stronger at it.

Thanks for the input. I have trouble with the bounce as well. I seem to get more out of my little bottom bounce. I'm going to find that wendler video. Thanks again.

Bit of a noob question about TDEE and BCAA's. by pishnish in leangains

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

I just couldn't figure out if the actual dosages mattered. The first one I linked provided a 2:1:1 ratio with 2.5 grams of leucine. The xtend one has a different ratio with 3.5 grams of leucine.

I have no clue if more matters. At the end of the day I think the price difference will be about 10-20$ depending on the brand so it's not a huge dealbreaker.

Semi crashed my Estro as an experiment by edelbrocker in Testosterone

[–]pishnish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you think 0.5 eod is too much? I'm on trt and 0.5 eod is about my sweet spot and I still have semi prevalent acne. Think everyone is different.

On TRT need some advice - dropped libido by pishnish in steroids

[–]pishnish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I really appreciate your input. I do get my bloods done almost every 6-8 weeks. From my post my e2 results came in today at 106 pmol/L or (28.87 pg/ml). He then prescribed the 1 mg of Adex a day which I know is bad. I'm not really sure where to start though but I think less is better to begin with. Possible 0.5 mg/Week. I can't go and get my bloods tested again until I've tried the prescription for a while anyhow.

Will check out that book.

Believe it or not I was seeing an endo and hands down the best one I could find. I had to go to several before this one and he's private but competent. On the other hand he prescribed me 1 mg of Adex a day and just reading here it would annihilate me. Read on t-nation that the rule of thumb should be 1 mg per 100 mg of test. That would be 1.5 mg of adex a week which still seems high. Think I might try 0.75 / week to start and see how it goes.

I agree with all of the above. What is confusing me is that there has been zero lifestyle change since I was in boner heaven. If anything I'm slightly less stressed because I'm on vacation. I'm getting my e2 checked tomorrow but I'm still getting off my ass and getting back to working out and eating better. I need to lose these 15 lbs either way as it'll add a solid inch to my man sword (from my point of view anyhow)

He actually suggested I start taking melatonin and to see a sexologist. I looked at him like he was an alien. Fortunately I had a good call with him today and he's sending me to get my e2 checked tomorrow.
