Nice! I get about 60g from protein powder right now. I might up it slightly to get in some extra protein. I could put a little in my oatmeal to mix it in with a meal.about 100 grams a day from protein powder
yesterday the rest was mainly Chicken, some days Beef, Tuna, Salmon or Venison
My Ideal day would be 50 Grams Fat 100 Carbs and 200 Protein

Nice! Time to tighten up the belt!Notes; Nutrition right on the money today. My pants were sliding down my butt today, so I must be getting leaner !!
I got one more hole in it, I put there last time I mad it down to 175lbs, so I guess I still have work to do.Nice! Time to tighten up the belt!
I have a belt just like that !!The good ole belt is a great measuring stick! I'm down 3 holes as of this morning.
Funny I got one hole that is stretched out from being used for years. the 2nd hole was only used for 2-3 months and can hardly tell its been used.
The new hole is nice and tight! (That didn't sound right)? well you know what I mean. LOL
That's what she said.... Sorry had to do it!Funny I got one hole that is stretched out from being used for years.
I don't either primarily to avoid any shoulder pain or injuriesSomeone ask me about my front plate raises and if I turned the plates

No worries there - those will always be suppressed when your body is running on exogenous testosterone. Those are the actual bloodwork markers that matter when we talk about hormonal “suppression”. You aren’t relying on your endogenous testosterone any more and you aren’t trying to father more children so sperm production doesn’t matter.I would be interested tp gets @Hyde 's take on these number. How can I help my LH & FSH numbers ?
@Hyde I am not taking anything that would raise my IGF1, No HGH, No Peptides, No MK. I never in the past paid much attention to my IGF1 numbers but I go back and look at past blood test they have always been over 200. I do not take anything for my Estrogen either. If you remember I was worried about my Estradiol being at about 60 at one time and I started taking Get Diesel EX-2, but you told me 60 was ok so I get using it. My only problem I have is my libido in very low and I can't come up with a fix or a reason, I discussed this with Mike Arnold and we could come up with nothing, he did suggest trying some Proviron which work very well till I ran out ??No worries there - those will always be suppressed when your body is running on exogenous testosterone.

Your IGF1 is insane! Probably double mine. Are you using HGH or Mk677?
Also, are you taking an aromatase inhibitor or anything for estrogen out of curiosity?
Great IGF1 levels, so that’s excellent.@Hyde I am not taking anything that would raise my IGF1, No HGH, No Peptides, No MK.

Same for DHEAs. Are you taking any DHEA supplement?Your IGF1 is insane! Probably double mine. Are you using HGH or Mk677?
Also, are you taking an aromatase inhibitor or anything for estrogen out of curiosity?
I have noticed, that being older, when my estrogen is low it has a significant effect on lowering my libido as compared to when I was younger.Great IGF1 levels, so that’s excellent.
Well, in my bropinion, your estrogen would be a bit low for me at those test levels. That may or may not have any effect. Obviously there’s no AI you are taking so that’s not something we can decrease to raise estrogen. Are you still using any Deca? If so, was libido the same before it or has it declined. Deca always lowers my libido and actual tissue sensitivity a bit vs when not using it.
Proviron is great, but even that is only useful for about 6-8 weeks. For libido, it must be cycled. It won’t keep helping significantly longterm.
P5P or L-Dopa can raise my libido a bit. That could be something to cycle for a couple months. Especially if you are using Deca.
@Rostam I have been taking 50mg twice a day for about the last 6 months. (100mg a day)Out of curiosity how much DHEA gives you that level?
^This is a great idea.I have noticed, that being older, when my estrogen is low it has a significant effect on lowering my libido as compared to when I was younger.
Hyde addressed that your LH/FSH numbers are not a huge concern because of course your not worrying about having another child, but you could try adding HCG which raises your LH/FSH, and also estrogen. Then see if that slight increase in estrogen has a positive effect on your libido. Of course when you stop HCG then the benefits will eventually go away, but it would help you see if your estrogen being a little bit low may be a contributor.
Nice…..love the Outdoor Kitchen!

I would see if your Dr. would prescribe Proviron. not just for the low libido but, not being able to sleep and getting fatigued. it will also help with focus. my dad use to take it. made a big difference for him. I think its way made by Bayer?@Hyde I am not taking anything that would raise my IGF1, No HGH, No Peptides, No MK.
