I’m 225. But I don’t think the weight matters.

But how wrong can actual blood tests be? I just don’t believe I donated 488 ml of blood and I had an increase or at best no change at all. I did take iron after the donation but I can’t imagine iron pills restored all my hemoglobin in 8 days.

Numbers will return to normal if you stop the Cytomel. I think half life is 18 hours.

Top range is 400-500 I think. This is DHEA-S

How’s this even possible. On the day of blood donation my finger prick hemoglobin was 17.9. Now these things are notoriously over estimating. Every previous donation finger prick test had me at 19 or 20 which was higher then reality. So this 17.9 should also be higher then reality. Well 8 days...

Hard Gainer? Blame Your Androgen Receptors

I saw a great study which I can’t find now, but it showed that testosterone levels didn’t matter as much as number androgen receptors in the body. Guys with lower testosterone, but more and denser andrigen receptors, built more muscle then guys with higher testosterone but less androgen...

25 mg DHEA put me in the mid 200’s and 75 mg put me in the mid 800’s. Way to high. Sticking to 50 mg now.

Muscle building is tricky hormone wise. Even before trt with levels of 360 and 42 years old I was packing on lots of muscles and pretty huge pumps. Supplements like protein and pre workouts helped.

10 mcg daily brought my ft3 from borderline low normal to slightly above top range. It lowered my rt3 10 points. Lowered ft4 from 15 to 12. And TSH from 1.00 to 0.84.

Acne comes due to any hormonal imbalance or adjustment. I get acne every time I change a protocol. Just inject 15 mg everyday and ride it out for 12 - 16 weeks. No AI. You’ll see it will all sort itself out. People tinker too much and get OCD like I used to.

Yup. I got the green theraband

Nothing random about blood type. Blood type has a huge impact on many compounds.

Yes. High TT drives SHBG down and E2 up. So not sure how one could have E2 and shbg match. (Without AI)

Just throwing this out there but if blood type has any influence? Let’s take a survey. Pro Enanthate - blood O+

That’s not accurate ratio wise. E2 will always go up with TT but shbg doesn’t change much. If your TT is 1000 your E2 should be well above 50-60. Most people don’t have SHBG in the 50-60. If your TT is 1000 abs your E2 is like 25 you will experience symptoms. Low libido etc.

On paper they are almost identical yes. In practice it’s night and day. For some.

Seems that there’s 2 camps on this. I too am pro enanthate and against cypionate. Only way I can describe it is enabthate feels like coffee and cyp feels like tea. On paper numbers come out higher on cyp including almost doubling up my E2! But it translates to nothing. Like injecting water. I...

It’s possible. My last test my E2 was 166 pmol scale being <162 pmol so just above range and my free T was 627 pmol ranges (196-636)

I’ve been off for 6 months with tennis elbow. Let’s go. Lol. It’s game time. Only way to find out is through controlled experiments.

That’s incorrect. If that was the case all 20 year olds would have prostate cancer. In reality it looks to be linked to hormone ratios. Older men have higher estrogen and lower testosterone, and they have the highest risk.

@Smokin Joe how old are you?

If no significant gains then we know DIM is interfering with muscle hypertrophy.

Guys one way to find out. Not sure how old each of you is, but let’s run a 2 month experiment. Let’s try to build as much muscle as we can taking dim and see what our results are.

I think DHEA might’ve spiked my psa numbers. At the sane test for psa 1.8 my DHEA-S levels were 810! I have since stopped the 75 mg daily dhea and 100 mg daily pregnenolone to see if these added to it. Testing psa again in 2 weeks.

Mine jumped from 0.77 to 1.8 in 10 months. I was majorly constipated and ever since (November 23) I’ve experienced what sounds like prostatitis. Pain in the perineum and under testicles and internal burning kinda like hemorrhoids. But no urinary issues at all. Just pain after bowel movements...

What were your prostatitis symptoms on the 1.2 reading?How old are you?

Daily I’m taking: (all these for preventative measures long term) - Cialis 5 mg - 1 glass pomegranate juice - Nootropic supplement that includes baccopa, alpha GPC, lion’s mane, l-tyrosine, l-theanine and huperzine - Shilajit (fulvic and humic acid) - 12 mg boron - 200 mg bioresponse DIM -...

So it seems some guys have a stable psa on trt and others have higher velocity. What could account for this? Most medical papers state psa does not increase on TRT. Is this increase benign or dangerous? Or is it similar to hematocrit. Where some guys have no increase and some guys go to 56 just...

For the guys using boron, do your labs confirm or show that it has an effect on lowering PSA?

What are the doctors saying about all the jumping around of the psa?
