    Best HRT Book for Women?

    Two of the top recommended books for TRT in Men are Nelson's Book and Dr. Crisler's book. I have them both and read them both. Great reads and very educational. My wife is undergoing HRT and we would both like to learn more about the complexity of hormones and replacement, etc, for women...

    Caber = AGONIST = need to cycle?

    I think you have it wrong. Cabergoline is a dopamine AGONIST, not an antagonist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabergoline But if you are worried about down-regulation of the D2 receptors...that's a good question.

    Alternative injection sites other than shoulders for a lean guy

    I tend to rotate through the Delts and Quads. But I can contort enough to also get the Glutes if desired. However - the other sites are so easy I've stopped doing that.

    Weight loss/recomp log

    Looks like a great plan you have mapped out. I've used IF successfully to both lose fat and maintain weight. And since I don't really care for breakfast, it's a great way to eat more calories in the meals I do care about. Great lifestyle diet for me. Question: What was the reason for adding...

    labs

    I would suggest going to twice/week injections like most of us here. Test Cyp half life is only 8 days. Not 2 weeks. So injecting every 3.5 days would keep your levels much more stable. Note: Just as FYI - I've been intermittent fasting for quite a while like you - eating during 8-9 hour...

    Hitting a vein in delt

    Crazy video up there - don't think i'd want to inject into my chest. wow. Question - he mentioned injecting in a spot 'where you want to build more muscle' or something like that. (He did say 'if there is a localized effect'...so he wasn't saying there definitely was. BUT I wasn't aware of...

    High T & estradiol levels on testosterone pellets

    I started TRT on pellets. Yes - they helped. BUT I found that I only felt "great" the first month to month and a half after insertion of the pellets. They led me to believe that the absorption is pretty linear over the 4-5 months. It's not. I had a huge spike the first month or so. Then...

    Drawing with a 27G .5"....

    It may dull it a tiny bit, but the needle is so small, it's not noticeable. I use 27G x 1/2" and draw/inject with it just fine. Goes in like butter. :D

    Acne on TRT. Does it get better?

    I'm sure the cause of acne is different for different people. But high e2 levels seem to be a common cause for many. I know for ME - my acne (I've had back acne since I was a kid) flairs up with high e2. In fact - I have to run at lower e2 levels to keep it manageable. Sensitive e2 range at...

    What do you do for maintaining size?

    They two biggest factors in maintaining muscle while dieting (apart from drugs) are (1) protein intake, and (2) resistance training. For protein - aim for 1g per pound of LBM. And resistance training - aim for hitting your main muscle groups twice per week. If you are having wrist/grip issues...

    Peptide Tadalafil use and dosage

    For this, or any other "research chems" - definitely get a 1CC oral syringe for dosing. You can ask your pharmacist for a couple infant oral syringes (they are often used to dose liquid meds for babies) or you can just buy some on amazon like the following...

    Rapid weight loss without losing muscle: combine intermittent fasting and cardio

    There are a few different ways to implement intermittent fasting. Some like doing a fast or near-fast for 24 hours a couple days per week. Others fast a portion of each day by limiting the eating window to like 8 hours, and fasting the other 16. I've done this and it's worked very well. It's...

    Fitbit or other fitness trackers

    I like them. I've had a few of the Fitbits since before they were real popular. Now I have an Apple Watch. I love the "gamification" of fitness. They've really encouraged me to increase my daily movement (steps). I've always been good about working out about 3 times per week. But my...

    Just throw needles away?

    Yes - I've been using that BD Safe-Clip. It's pretty cool. Then I just toss the syringes out with the trash. (I still put them in some container so none poke through the trash bag).

    Where to get easytouch 27G syringe?

    Last time I purchased, I got my 27 gauge / 1/2 inch syringes here: Easy Touch 27 G 1 cc 1/2 in Insulin Syringes - 100 ea (I find 27g a good balance between small size (painless) and not-too-lengthy draw time. I tried 29g and it took a long time to draw up the test, and I'm too impatient to...

    Some insight on T cyp injection frequency and SC vs IM)

    Pretty much that. Lifestyle and business travel that would make compliance difficult. I travel a lot for business, and so far, I've never had to take any supplies with me since I always leave after my monday morning injections and i return thursday afternoon before my thursday evening injections.

    Help understanding Thyroid lab results...

    Can you fine folks help me understand what my results may indicate? Why would TSH and Free T3 look okay, but Free T4 be so low? - TSH = 0.984 (range 0.45 - 4.50) - Free T3 = 3.2 (range 2.0 - 4.4) - Free T4 = 0.58 (range 0.82 - 1.77) I'm currently on 60mg/day of Amour Thyroid medication and...

    TRT Sub-Q & HCG Timing

    I'm dosing 350iu of HCG and was told to do it on the same day as Test. Maybe someone else who is using higher HCG can comment. I agree that for scheduling/compliance it makes it all simple. And like you - i don't find 2 injections difficult at all. And I prefer to use small insulin pin for...

    TRT Sub-Q & HCG Timing

    Most of us that are on twice/week Test and HCG will inject them on the same days. So I'm on e3.5D protocol. So Monday morning, and Thursday evening, I inject both Test-Cyp and HCG. (Some people even combine them into one syringe/injection, but I don't. If you are interested - there's a...

    First Week on HCG/Lipo-C

    It's really hard to say. I'm basically trusting the science behind the ingredients. From an energy standpoint - I do feel like I have more energy when I take it versus on days when I don't. As for the fat loss effects - I'm changing too many variables at the same time - my diet is better...

    First Week on HCG/Lipo-C

    I do 1ml of Lipo-C into abdominal fat without issue. All in one place. There's a bit of a nodule afterwards for a while, but no pain. I occasionally do in the quads as well. No nodule left over there and no pain. (I use the same needle size for both - 29G 1/2". Just another data point for...

    When to Draw for Defy - peak or valley?

    Okay - I made my appointment for Monday morning first thing, which I'll do fasted. After the answers here, and more searches on this site, it seems like the consensus is to test the "trough." So that's what I'll do. Plus - I feel great at various "high levels" of test, so I really want to...

    Naked...the first 3D fitness tracker

    I know - I wish we could see some thorough tests to see if it lives up to it's promise. I did read the terms and conditions - and it looks like you can get a refund at any time. So I might put down my $95 as well. We have until May 15 until that offer goes away (apparently).

    When to Draw for Defy - peak or valley?

    Wow. 300 point spread is not insignificant. Thanks for sharing. Well - it seems like the consensus is "trough testing" is what we want. So I scheduled my lab draw appointment for Monday morning, so I'll do that in a fasted state, prior to my injections that day.
