    it has been around around for awhile. At least mid 2000s. If you have been involved in fitness in the last 20yrs I am pretty sure you have heard of it.

    How many of you are on diuretics for water retention on TRT?

    Man I hope you are right! 2 months in and the water retention around my mid section and chest is awful. Decades of eating cleaning/lifting/cardio erased by 8lbs of water instantly!!

    TRT related strength, muscle and body composition

    Started too high (for me at least) of 75mg 2x a week and had to go to 55mg 2x a week. Numbers are good now, 600@trough, E2 25. Gym work has been good too. Nothing crazy but some strength and endurance gains. I have never actually had my bf tested, but I had (pre water retention) flat stomach...

    When to be concerned with high HCT

    got my 6 week bloods done and my HCT is a hair below 50%. pre TRT I hovered around the mid-40s. I have found myself out of breath on walks with my kids, but can go crush a pretty intense workout session. Should I be concerned? I lots of water helps, but anything else? If it matters...

    The average man produces 7mg of testosterone per day, so why take so much TRT?

    Sorry yes I meant 100-200mg a week. Wouldn’t that put the avg guy wayyyy over what the avg guy naturally produces. Why does it only elevate T to the higher end or “normal”.

    The average man produces 7mg of testosterone per day, so why take so much TRT?

    Heard fellow TRT guy say the average male produces 7mg of testosterone a day. Why do most of us take between 100-200mg a week and not have through the roof T levels?

    New guy not feeling very good after first two injections
