  1. Best outdoor/mountain/hunting supplement?

    Cordyceps and rhodiola would be very helpful.
  2. The dissapearing man

    Lol, I read through page 1 and 2 and skipped to page 8 to make sure we hadn't shifted conversation to buying houses or Pee Wee Herman or something. Amazing to see it stay course! BTW, you're a monster bro. You carry your weight very well and look like you are carrying 10-15lbs more muscle mass.
  3. The dissapearing man

    Back after a month off and in on page 8 here. lol
  4. Hemoglobin Too High to Donate Blood?

    If you are seeing ranges in the 95-96% range alone, that is not anything related to sleep apnea, those are normal levels. More importantly, you need to find out how often it might drop below 95% because that is what helps determine. In general it's 5-10 times per hour to be considered mild sleep...
  5. Blood pressure ranges on cycle

    Keep in mind that most of the items mentioned are great to manage the high BP (though natto is great for overall health), but getting to root cause is important. Some of us are more prone to erythrocytosis from exogenous test, which shouldn't be an issue for a blast length of time, but can...
  6. Hemoglobin Too High to Donate Blood?

    Well, I will say that it’s nice to see you have a doc that doesn’t push the panic button and overreact. But, you definitely need to get that number down. Good luck.
  7. Hemoglobin Too High to Donate Blood?

    Follow up here if you don’t mind. No doubt others are dealing with the same and it’s always good to expand knowledge if you hear anything differently.
  8. Hemoglobin Too High to Donate Blood?

    There are other blood centers that will take it if it's higher. In the mean time, hydrate regularly and look into supplements that lower iron like IP6 and quercitin. Some of us just naturally are more sensitive to erythropoietin. Even blood donation will only bring it down to probably 20ish...
  9. Kidney health?

    Because it's factual. Most people (and this is coming from multiple specialists as well as my GP) will test high for kidney and liver values if they workout and moreso if it is strenuous or involves high cardio activity. I personally have to stop workouts 5-7 days before if I want anything...
  10. Alphabuild by Olympus Labs - Logging Opportunity

    Thanks for the tag. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to be a candidate, though this looks really interesting because I’ve always been a huge epicatechin fan. Starting all our summer travel for the daughter’s sports and time will be limited. I may just buy one on my own- any discount codes?
  11. Do you have any idea of what supplements do Hollywood celebrities are taking?

    I met Mark Wahlberg once when he was being posted up looking huge in photos and in person I was shocked at how small he looked. I agree that there is a huge piece being the unlimited training time and chefs, but many times it is picture angles and making them look as good as possible.
  12. How much does normal T range effect muscle growth?

    It's true, AR density is in the shoulders, neck/traps and upper chest. I was lucky enough to get some genetic help from my dad and grandfather in that I've always been able to put on muscle even when my test levels were 200, but as soon as I got on TRT, my traps and delts became massive.
  13. How much does normal T range effect muscle growth?

    Anything in reference ranges will be negligible regarding muscle building, you are likely to feel better, more energetic, etc on higher normal ranges. Ultimately (diet, programming, and lifestyle) aside, it comes down to androgen density. You can take 2 guys with the same natural test levels and...
  14. Hematocrit Horror Stories

    They only do this for a brief period of time. This actually crept into mtn bike racing and I knew quite a few guys cheating.
  15. Hematocrit Horror Stories

    No stories I've heard of nor my doctors or specialists in all their years of treating with TRT, but they cannot discount the risk regardless. An interesting study I found points to conflicting evidence that hepcidin suppression from TRT (regulates iron metabolism) is the cause of high...
  16. Hematocrit Horror Stories

    Great point on Vit C. It increases iron absorption so if you are already eating a high iron diet, then this can increase storage of non-heme and heme foods. TRT already significantly suppresses hepcidin, so anything adding to that will increase RBC.
  17. Hematocrit Horror Stories

    Beau already hit everything relevant that you will get from people without MDs, but the information is about what you'd likely get from a GP anyway. I'm sure you are aware that GH can increase Hb, so that is a factor at the onset. Another thing to keep in mind is your diet and sleep. High iron...
  18. Restless Leg Syndrome

    Same, it actually makes my sleep really disruptive. I've even tried the benadryl ZZZ and it made me wired with a rapid heart rate. Must be some faulty internal wiring with me.
  19. Restless Leg Syndrome

    When I was coming off kratom a couple years back RLS is a major issue with the withdrawal and magnesium, P5P, and inositol were a savior. Might want to look into those.
  20. Any long term creatine HCL users out there?

    I'm basing it on the ability to push the additional reps in working sets.
