  1. Shoulder Bursitis-Tendonitis

    I will always be true to the traditional BBing movements, but my ART doc says don't ever do them again if you want to remain injury-free. He especially hates machine exercises because they don't build stability. I know I'm stubborn and need to bring out my delts as they are a weak part, so I...
  2. Shoulder Bursitis-Tendonitis

    In my case, I would be afraid I'd re-inflame the injury, as I have tried both after the last shot and I got way worse. Believe me, I would love to start doing presses and laterals (my favorite) again, but it's been 2 weeks doing everything but presses/shoulder work and I feel a whole lot better.
  3. Shoulder Bursitis-Tendonitis

    I take all that and then some. No change. What helped thus far: 2nd injection of Kenalog, rest, refraining from shoulder and chest presses.
  4. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    That is all I have been doing. I agree with your assessment of going VLC, like <50g daily. In fact, I'm probably well under that, just getting incidental carbs from veggies and buts/seeds and a small helping of berries. The most I will "splurge" is when I will consume no more than 50g a day. I...

    It varied. As much as 4g daily - and then went to maintenance between 2g and still was elevated. Everyone who supplements should take this test because you will never know otherwise. You may be getting way more than you need which may be causing other problems.

    I have been eating clean since my early 20s and stopped drinking any alcohol for good. I did eat more carbs and fruits, but the carbs were always complex, never simple. I had cut all processed foods out as well. Prior to my 20s, I ate crap. It wasn't until early last year that I went VLC paleo...

    Good assessment on all! Now we're getting somewhere. Into the real nuts and bolts. Insulin resistance and behind it, leptin resistance, many of us have it. What exactly led you to think IR is a problem for me? This is another reason why I'm on VLC paleo/keto, the best diet for IR/LR. I read...
  11. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    I meant water or fat bloat, not digestive. My diet has been clean: Protein: 110-120g Carbs: <50g Fats: 80-90g Basically, paleo/keto. I do a 18hr IF & train fasted. I agree diet is 90%. Despite all this, I'm still SOFT. You would think with that low carb & keto, I'd be ripped. Neither I nor any...
  12. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    You can see from my body comp stats above that I need to drop a lot of fat. Do you think this cycle will help with eliminating the puffy or bloated look I've had since my early 30s and not lose LBM? I've never been able to get as lean as in my 20s no matter what diet or training program. And...

    What were your before and after results with IGF-lr3? I've heard a lot of good things. Also - how long do you stay off cycle and what do you do for PCT? I'm assuming you cycle rHGH as well?
  14. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    All points well taken. Can you post some links about the rHGH absorption rates and that it can mimic the natural pulsatile rhythms? The problem is the long bleed of GH: "SubQ injects (as the doctor would tell you to take your GH) creates a prolonged release pattern that can lead the user...

    Understood what you mean now - that's why it's called a "cycle". Had a friend that did the following: test prop; 1cc im/per 7 days for 4wks then 1cc per 5 days for 3wks then 1cc per 3 days for 3wks then back to 1cc per 5 days for 3 weeks and then back to 1cc per 7 days...still there. The...

    But TRT is an AAS and you suggested it as part of a cycle above. I'm confused. But the mechanism of negative feedback is why the science behind peptide secretatogogues makes so much more sense and is safer than running rHGH.

    Thanks for always responding, V. I really appreciate your insight. I can always use more no matter how much research I do. Well, actually, my only HRT was running T3 if you conisder that HRT. That's it. The goal was to optimize thyroid function and metabolism by clearing out excess rT3 and...

    >50g/day takes you out of keto. I dont notice I have a problem with VLC. Only thing is that I'm still not leaning out. I cannot figure out the latest weight gain. I have not consumed more calories daily and training and cardio is same. I wonder if it's because of dropping the t3 from 75mcg and...

    The only problem with the Zone diet is that it advocates nearly 40% carbs and eliminates health SFAs from whole food sources like egg yolks.
  20. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    A1c is 5.3. FBG: 85-90. I use ACV daily to help bring down glucose/insulin. The only problem is that a keto diet is up to 75% fat. But I think you're right. Only problem is that protein has to be moderate and carbs <50g daily. Maybe cut fat to 60%?
