    High Prolactin but everything else checks out

    If your endo is worth a **** he’ll test you for a prolactinoma before doing anything. A tumor on your pituitary can screw with everything. With numbers that high it’s possible. You’ll need an MRI to know for sure.

    Offseason diet. Do you dirty bulk or clean bulk?

    I personally know several pros that look like this in the off-season and they don’t eat “dirty” foods. For the most part, their diet is the same as contest prep, but with more of what they normally eat.

    Best tasting BCAA?

    Xtend tastes amazing, and blends well. Amino Evolved by Species tastes awesome as well. Both have a good profile. Functionally, I prefer Amino Evolved because of the profile, but you can’t go wrong with either. They both taste great, are high quality, and blend completely (no floating leucine).

    TRT advise needed 26yo

    I’d go to a specialist. Fertility doctor for example. They might be able to get you on an HCG/clomid regimen. I’ve had 2 friends go that route and it worked for them. They were in a similar situation and wanted to avoid TRT. Their levels more than doubled.

    Refeeds?

    That is perfectly fine. The idea is to let your body rest and replenish. I typically train Saturday morning, have my re-feed Saturday night, and take Sunday off. I always wake up lighter on Monday, and Mondays workout is on point! You will not get fat from 1 meal!

    Body Fat estimate

    Refeeds work great! Sounds like you have a good plan. Just work it, and make adjustments when they need to be made!

    Body Fat estimate

    Everybody is different in terms of weight loss. Many factors come into play. Diet, training, metabolism, age, hormones etc. 5 hours does sound like overkill. It may work for now, but I think eventually your metabolism will start to slow down especially at 1600 cal. You should be losing around...

    Luer Lok needles

    A 1” 25g needle is pretty small. What’s your reason for wanting smaller?

    If it fits your macros?

    Depends on your goals. For what you’re trying to achieve (8%), I’d say it’s possible, but I would never recommend or approve that for a client. And it depends on what the rest of your diet is like. Personally, when it comes to weight loss, I’m not a fan of IIFYM.

    Gyno?

    The way you’re describing, it definitely sounds like gyno. Even though fatty tissue can lead to a gyno appearance, there shouldn’t be any hard nodules.

    Anyone ever bought a training program?

    It could be worth it. For only $10, why not. Even though it tells you the focus, it could give you some new techniques/strategies that are new to you. Switching things up, and getting out of your usual routine can sometimes help spark new growth. But then again, it could give you the basics...

    Anyone ever bought a training program?

    Buying programs can be beneficial to help switch things up, and learn new techniques/methods. I personally have never bought one, but have worked with several coaches. I would be very selective on where/who I bought from. I would never buy from the latest “instafamous” guy peddling bull ****...

    What Difference Does it Make in Splitting Cardio Sessions?

    If your cardio session is only 30 minutes, no need to split.

    Gaining muscle but losing weight.

    A PH cycle is more or less the same as running gear. You’ll need to run PCT again after you finish that. You definitely should not be losing muscle on PH’s. You should be gaining. As far as mass gainer, I stay away. Just personal opinion. Almost all are filled with crap, empty calories, and they...

    Suggestions, criticism, opinions all welcome. weight loss

    That seems pretty good. There’s no real definitive answer. You’re just gonna have to try some things. Make small changes, and see what works. A couple thoughts/ideas.. 1. Try incorporating a cheat meal. Your body adapts to a deficit, and will hold on to fat if it senses too much of a...
