Yes I’m on four clicks daily of Empower hydrogel cream. Another thing I noticed was frequent urination and bloating. Again I’m not 100% sure it’s quality Oxandrolone. My pharma grade stuff comes this week.
I've read somewhere that Oxandrolone can have an effect on lactic acid buildup in quads of cyclist (could be related to quads and hockey) and also painful pumps in the back while doing deadlifts. I'm sure someone with more info will chime in.
Good.
Most androgens raise blood pressure due to water retention or stimulatory factors.
Thank you Nelson. Really miss you posting often lol.
Thank you. My life is a little better managed, so I have more time. I also realized how much I miss learning from everyone here. So much new information daily!
Are you looking for better game performance or better body composition?
Honestly body comp. But I do spiral when my game performance is effected. I’m looking for best of both worlds. I’m sure that is probably unrealistic.
If u experience water retention id suggest some celery seed supplements or dandy lion root , both supposed to be great diuretics…

Run a caloric deficit to lose BF. Drugs can help you maintain muscle in a deficit which will also influence %BF.
I’ll be completely honest. I kinda wanted “assistance” and not have to go crazy with diet. although All my labwork in regards to insulin resistance look perfect (besides low shbg) I assume I have issues with it. I have to be super strict with diet to maintain low body fat. And I’m kinda trying to have best of both worlds. In regards to enjoying my life and looking good. I might just have to accept that I look decent for a 41 year old lol.
That is where a good eating disorder* comes in. Then you can enjoy life by looking good. The more you suffer at the dinner table the better you look. Pleasure through pain.
I honestly had one and that’s what lead me to ”low t”. back in my mid 20s I went on a crash diet and was over training like crazy. i dropped all the way down to 145lbs. At 6ft tall and a medium to big frame. That’s when all my hormone problems started. I was never able to fully recover them. I tried to do it all natural for over 10 years. I tried trt one and off but never longer than 6 months. Then I finally committed. In 2020. Now I’m 225lbs. A good amount of my weight is muscle but still have my problem areas that just won’t go away unless I diet hard and feel like shit again.
You bring up an excellent point and congrats on the recovery.
I’ll be honest (for the 50th time) I’m not doing “great” just much better the. I was physically. But mentally I’m actually suffering a bit. Low grade depression and No real zest for life. Despite have a great wife two awesome kids and a great career. Trying to dial that part in now.
I'm right there with you. We can be buddies in anhedonia!
I too have been dabbling in low dose ssri again. while I do feel it calms me down a bit I’m also less productive at home. My anxiety kind of fuels me to a degree. I keep going on and off them. Luckily at 2.5 mg of lexapro I get no withdrawl coming off. But I feel lazy at home and that also drives me crazy. Just today I skipped my pill lol. I’m also scared shit of the oxandrolone. I already have low hdl and high triglycerides unless I’m on low carb diet. I also have low shbg. And after the week of the ugl shit I’m really nervous to try again.
@Charliebizz having a great wife, two awesome kids and a great career is a whole lot more than most men ever have in life. Always be thankful for what you have and don't worry for what you may not have in life. Good luck and hope you get all of this dialed in. You have a whole lot to be happy about.
