The problem I see with the SARM category is that there is not the body of evidence, either from studies, analysis or crowd-sourced reports that exists for other AAS. They certainly have an affect, however their risk/reward profile is not as well understood. Perhaps that will start to change...

I had never heard of this but will try the ingredients before my next blood test since my HCT went up for no apparent reason. Lumbrokinase is supposedly much stronger than Nattokinase so I will try that as well. Interestingly (to me) according to Dr. Kendrick ( in his book The Clot Thickens) ACE...

Several ideas...you may want to experiment with DHEA and PT-141 or Melanotan-2 (if you do not get frequent sun exposure) as both of these can enhance libido in some people. Do your research but if you try PT/MT I strongly recommend a starting does of no more than 300 micrograms 3 times per week...

In my observation, it is sufficiently rare for someone to be well-dialed-in that when you are, changing something major is a horrible idea. It's especially horrible since your body is adjusted to your prior protocol and there is no assurance that if you change and then switch back, that you can...

Elevated LH could also be a marker for low T, which is a risk factor for Dementia, so it may not be the LH at all.

Step one for people concerned about dementia is to follow the recommendations in Dr. Bredesen's dementia reversal protocol. Even if a study showed HCG increased risk, if it was done in a population which was trying to give themselves dementia (which is the majority of people in th US) then the...

Antics with semantics in the above... - 4% does not seem "rare" - "Life altering" should be "life destroying" - "persist for years" should likely be "permanent for most of those afflicted with no reliable cure"

As @Type_IIx has covered elsewhere and I think Nelson has referenced in regard to Oxandrolone, the difference between AAS compounds is large and supports what @Cataceous is saying, although with less data on the recently introduced forms. For example there was a study that showed Oxandrolone...

While I don't regret TRT, if I had it to do over again and in situations like yours, I would take a much more staged and focused approach and try to address your issues with less invasive options to start with. Some thoughts: - Consider starting with a SERM like clomid or enclomiphene at a low...

I use and recommend the basic straps for under $10. With those you still get normal grip involvement. Also, I assume you are using an over/under grip w/o the straps, but using only overhand on your lightest sets can give some additional grip work. Bottom line is that your overall deadlift...

In your situation, there is no shame in using straps for higher rep sets. Even if you can maintain your grip I think straps are desirable because it seems to remove a factor which the body senses to be limiting. Don't use the straps for your lighter sets and also add in some farmers walks, power...

Yes, there's a mechanism whereby low salt( likely sodium) triggers a defensive mechanism to retain sodium which has the side effect of raising blood pressure. IIRC it is described in the book.

I had never heard of this but it sounds like a classic example of where correcting a deficiency will correct a problem. Many people are likely deficient in something in salt given how demonized it has been, so correcting that will help those people but will not help others who already get plenty...

To the original question, Meldonium may be an option. I'm not sure TRT at moderate doses is relevant.

This topic is a priority for me right now since I've had a flare-up of some joint tissues for which I'm thinking Exosomes may the next step, and I would want to be in a state of optimal HGH for them to be most effective. I don't know a precise answer and hopefully @Type_IIx will chime in (whose...
