    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    All good mate, i understand 100% your view, i agree with it myself. Its people like that who have made it very difficult to try and get a specialist to take me seriously because of the fact that i lift and am only 30 years old. My GP thankfully knows im legit because he is military like myself...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Wow Brick im not sure exactly who thats aimed at but thats a bit harsh, im not going to complain and be a "tit" about it but having no sex drive at all and difficulty at work concentrating because im tired despite 8-9 hours solid sleep is really hard to deal with. I have a very critical job that...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Hey guys, long time since i posted about this but i seen the endo again for the 2nd time today, he wanted to run another blood test, fertility test and an MRI before i seen him again to rule out any obvious stuff. MRI on the pituitary was clear, fertility test came back fantastic according to...

    Steroidal hormone profile tests

    Used for checking ranges to see whether or not you are a candidate for HRT/TRT. Would only get the ball rolling though and allow your doctor to refer you to an endo. Its not as easy as going to the doctor with these results and getting prescribed test though, no doctor in his right mind would...

    How do you define 'natural'?

    OP, you question in your initial post, "should athletes that have taken steroids 5 or more years ago but no have not since then" i wasnt aware that was the rule and accepted but would even heavy AAS use 5 or more years ago be able to be maintained in any human? Even with perfect training and...

    Loss of strength due to cutting

    I suffered the same problem myself and a lot of it comes down to the fact that when your a natty lifter you WILL lose some muscle as your losing fat, the body just wont hold onto all of it and yes that even will happen if your losing only 250-500g a week, its call homeostasis and its something...

    Whats everyones split?

    Been running HST for the past few months, really enjoy it, ive modified it to 15, 12 and 8 rep 2 week blocks over the 15, 10 and 5`s and i keep the rest periods down to 1:30 and under for everything. This is not a strength training program but that said progress is progress and if you increase...

    Should I still work out when I'm tired

    ^^^ Not if your cutting and dont want to burn yourself out, can do cardio AM and weights PM ( or vice versa ), would only do on non consecutive days though but it would be a good way IMO to get plenty of rest with a full day off between each training day yet still burn lots of calories.

    Should I still work out when I'm tired

    Mate its a challenge haha, if im on day shifts i start at 0730 so im up at 0430, in the gym by 0445 and back home by 0600. Have a shower, breakfast get ready for work and at work by 0715 or so. Im in the RAAF and where im posted i live on base so im fortunate in the fact the gym is 24 hour...

    Should I still work out when I'm tired

    Depends greatly on what you want out of your workouts.. If your more hypertrophy inclined over pure strength training than yes train for sure, no need to go kill yourself but still go and stimulate some growth by doing some volume on the bigger exercises at a comfortable weight. Remember the...

    Test Booster Res100

    Thats crazy... if you actually need testosterone because your levels are low its actually roughly the same price to buy prescription testosterone @ around 150-200mg per week if you are a candidate for HRT. Absolutely mind boggling who would pay $90 per month for a "supplement" that may work as...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Take this as a compliment mate, means he must have been mirin your lifts or size to want to copy you. I have this often in commercial gyms, as long as they dont interfere with or steal my squat rack i dont really give 2 shits, just smile and let it motivate you!

    Before and After Steroids.

    Couldnt have said it better! Chemically assisted or not theres years and years of consistent hard work, discipline and dedication in every single one of those guys! To easy to just call "steroids" these days and people think thats all it takes, if only it was that easy, if that was the case...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Thats the hope mate, my readings arent your normal low range like most people ive seen online throughout my research... Most people seem to be in the 10-13 range on the 10-35 scale for total test. My results have been 3.1 and 5.5 the last 2 blood tests, something isnt right there for my age, as...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    I hate the way my life is now, if going on testosterone brings my sex life back and gives me the energy i had when i was 20 ( im only 30 now ) to do my job and carry on with life without requiring 9-10 hours sleep a night or im falling asleep before lunch then i will take the risks that come...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Go to any good doctor and if your blood tests come back and show there is a problem you will get reffered to a specialist where they will decide whether or not you need HRT or not. No legit doctor in his right mind or abiding by the law will prescribe anyone testosterone freely without having...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Just thought i would throw up the latest results and what has happened with this scenario. Just had results in from the latest blood tests done in late december, test results showed all levels to be normal as far as FSH, LH, SBHG, PSA BUT test levels this time around were only 3.1 on a range of...

    Lean bulk or pack it on?

    What is your training goal? For strength or for pure mass? If your training for outright functional strength and are doing it properly ( still staying fairly lean and keeping fairly fit with HIIT cardio and mobility stuff etc. which you should be doing, no point in being big and strong if you...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    I assume that it would be closely monitored via regular blood work, especially in the first 6 months to 1 year, and we have our own pharmacy as well which is part of the medical section which would be supplying only what the doctor requires. Policing it where we are is far far easier than in the...
