    Is is time for TRT for me?

    I don't think your test levels are causing your energy crashes or making it harder to put on muscle. You've been lifting for years but you are 155 at 5'8" that is quite lean. What does your total caloric intake look like? It's not just about protein, but carbohydrates and fats play a...

    Jay Cutler Said What About the Olympia?

    I don't think any bodybuilder not taking PEDs would stand much of a chance in a non tested competition, never mind the Mr. Olympia. I'm sure there are some anamolies out there but if you go to an advertised as and tested natural show you see just a different standard there, great physiques...

    Basic Bloodwork Panel Help

    Big question here is were you fasting when the sample was taken. You should have been on at least an 8 hour fast. The numbers will be skewed if not. It's worth testing again while fasting. if the numbers are around the same it would be worth talking to a doc

    Iron Therapy

    Was a little down the other day when I hit the gym. During that session a lot of memories about **** in my past came up and how I somehow got through it. The gym got me through some of the hardest and darkest times in my life. Just the weights and the grind, one more rep, one more rep and the...

    Woke up with shoulder pain... What do you guys do?

    I have a cat that sleeps right next to me and gets mad when I move so I'm pretty much forced to lay on my back all night. My wife uses one of those curvy pillows that support the neck and allows the shoulder to be in a more natural position when side sleeping. So getting a cat or one of those...

    What Multi are you taking right now? Do you notice a difference?

    I eat pretty clean with fruits and veggies everyday but use a multivitamin as backup for any gaps. My go to is Megafoods one a day or Garden of Life daily. I try to stay with whole food derived - I'm not sure if they are more effective but they are easier on the stomach.

    High bp

    I would never tell someone to not seek medical attention if they think they need it but I don't think it's necessary right now. If your BP is usually in the optimal range and these spikes happen rarely then look for a pattern first. Also, check your BP throughout the day to see if it is...

    High bp

    Those are BP spikes not chronic and those numbers are not high enough to make you feel the way you describe. I think the spike in BP is another symptom of whatever is causing you to feel that way not the underlying cause. Could be anxiety or panic attack which may or may not be caused by the...

    frozen shoulders therapies?

    There are three stages to frozen shoulder - freezing, frozen, and thawing. Nothing will help in the first two stages. Frozen shoulder will take as long as frozen shoulder decides it will take to get back to normal. There is literally nothing you can do to "unfreeze" it, it's not a true injury...

    How many days prior to blood draw do you not lift weights?

    2 to 3 days It's not necessarily the T levels but strenuous workouts can cause elevated liver and kidney values. This elevation can last for up to 48 hours. If you are just getting T levels tested then you should be good with a 24 hour no workout period.

    Stop Crushing Anavar Under Your Tongue- It Won't Work

    Alcohol can help break up those binders and fillers. High grade vodka works well. I know some pill delivery systems are designed to get past the stomach acids but want aware anavar was in that category and still not sure it is. I'll look that up but if you have a pointer to where that is...

    many old school/banned ph/ds!!! what to stack for first cycle and training in 10 years???

    Just my opinion here and I'm guessing you are just starting back. Put all that stuff back in the closet. Get back to where the gym is just part of your life again. Work out all the kinks, small aches, and strength imbalances you might have from not working out over the years. Get your diet in a...

    Brachioradialis Strain

    About 1.5 months ago I tore both my brachialis muscles Grade2 interstitial tear and ruptured tendons. Not full tears so I escaped surgery. I wouldn't recommend taking time off but definitely a deload week. Keep blood flow going to the tendons but no real stress. BPC157 and TB500 can help but...

    Glute Nerve/muscle issues post injection

    If ibuprofen is helping it's probably inflammation, if it isn't red and hot then not much to be concerned about. Bad sticks happen sometimes, it's best to continue to keep moving the body part as normal and working out with it. that will keep blood flow going to the damaged tissue.
