    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    This is something i am concerned about being in defence, the adf drug and prohibited substances policy deems testosterone as a banned compound, they are looking into it now to see if on medical grounds this is worthy of a waiver. Could be a complicated road ahead for me with all of this. As...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Good advice mate cheers. And no sports/athletic performance isnt a concern for me, its just part of life and i would continue to do it no matter what issues my body was facing, overall well being and feeling good is the priority. Getting over feeling flat and having no sex drive, at 30 years old...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    How was your training stamina and strength before you went on HRT? Were your lifts still at an advanced level before you went on the HRT?

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Thanks a lot for that information Scott, I will discuss this with him next time i see him and see what comes of it. My biggest dilemma is being in defence i cant really choose a second opinion, especially where i am posted at this time. I simply have to trust them but that said my opinion...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Thats cool mate, i have been as well, hence this late reply. To be completely honest i didnt see that on the lab results that he showed me. I will ask him next time i see him. What do those levels concern and what should they be in normal range? Im still fairly uneducated with most of this...

    Hormone replacement therapy, thoughts?

    Hi guys, Long time reader on the forums, dont post much but i lurk around here quite a bit. Long story short, have felt fairly average the last couple of years, and it has gotten a lot worse in the last 6 months with a complete drop in sex drive and enthusiasm for most things, considering my...

    Gone are the days of the bodybuilding gyms

    Damn... kinda feel quite fortunate being in the military and having a decent gym to train in for free... i was thinking about joining a public gym because it gets a bit old training with everyone you know and work with but by the sounds of it we got better gear than whats out there costing money.

    Need breakfast ideas

    Its a shame you cant eat oats mate, really is the staple breakfast and has a nice slow release of energy and a good amount of carbs to get your blood sugars sorted first up in the morning when you wake up. Try to get some carbs with your breakfast though if you can, something slow release, as...

    Non-Perishable Protein Alternatives (for out field)

    Depends on where your going mate, your kit can be left out in the sun and exposed to some pretty shitty weather. Protein powder isnt ideal, not to mention needs a shaker cup and mixing. Something ready to eat is far more convenient and easier to square away into your pack. Gunner: Yea the HPLC...

    Non-Perishable Protein Alternatives (for out field)

    Aussie bodies HPLC bars are probably your best bang for buck protein bar wise, 44g of protein and around $5. Havent found anything myself that can really compare to the size, amount of protein and ease of them for what your going to use them for. When we do any field stuff ( very rarely ) i just...

    If you were in my situation would you try to cut or keep bulking?

    We do mate, most of the stuff they sell is deep fried though, and the line is usually that long that by the time you get your food your eating it with less than 5 minutes of your lunch break. At the moment we have to pay for the mess even if we dont eat there which kinda is the reason why i eat...

    If you were in my situation would you try to cut or keep bulking?

    Hamburgler, yes mate im aware of that, but i havent got a lot of control on my diet here, thats the dilemma. To get 200 or so grams of protein a day im consuming a hell of a lot more calories than i need to be because i have not a great deal of control over the food they have for lunch and...

    If you were in my situation would you try to cut or keep bulking?

    Hi guys, Bit of a quick run down of my current situation, im currently at a defence training establishment, and i am posted here until around August next year. The situation with nutrition here is a tough one, the food they serve here isnt exactly bodybuilding friendly, to get any decent amount...

    Putting something back

    Was only an opinion.... like an asshole everyone has one and anyone that goes against the typical sheep mentality of this forum always gets flamed, its not always about whats the cheapest, where did i say anything about his being better than anything else? I simply said $150 IMO is a fair enough...
