    headaches?

    That's not stroke blood pressure, but over enough years it will be a major health issue. If that's not just an anamolus reading or related to the cycle, you need blood pressure medications. I've seen people in their early 40s who have had chronic, untreated stage one hypertension require...

    I keep hurting my shoulder on flat bench presses

    If your primary care doc refers you for PT, which they likely will, your insurance will usually pay. This is because PT is a lot cheaper than than surgery. Lol

    I keep hurting my shoulder on flat bench presses

    Take time off from the exercise to heal. You should probably go see physical therapy to evaluate for muscular imbalances in posture issues. Then learn to bench correctly with a strong arch in the back, shoulder blades tucked/pinched. I'm 5'10" with that same wingspan as you and bench was...

    Went to see the endo. Didnt go well!!!!

    Pretty sure this is a troll post, FYI. Either that or this person means 85 year-old Physicians Assistant when he says Endo. Test levels do fluctuate, but if I recall correctly you might expect up to a 15-20% (edit: 20-25%; see correct value below) difference between peak levels in the AM and...

    Prednisone side effects.

    Pretty sure corticosteroids will affect partitioning in a way you won't like. My educated guess: I'd just go high protein and low carb for maintenance calories for those days, plus one more day.

    How the hell is this possible (read)

    This is the first troll I've seen on AM---and he's a bad one. o_0 Sorry about the talent-pool, guys. Sometimes the trolls are fantastically entertaining. This one blows.

    Test cyp 350?

    Keep in mind that you'll have HPTA shut down and make very little endogenous testosterone, as a guy who requires TRT for low endogenous testosterone*, I can tell you the first 100mg alone is very noticeable. So at 350mg/wk you'd likely feel it if it were alone. With D-bol in there, you're...

    Going to see Endocrinologist

    A lot of general practitioners, especially family practitioners, really don't do much formal training in this topic. So, in a way, you're right that they'll often be misinformed. That is changing now as TRT becomes more accepted (and profitable) again. Internests who practice primary care are...

    Prednisone side effects.

    You're not going to have any major, lasting side effects--at least not likely--on 4 days of prednisone. Seriously not worth messing around with.

    Prednisone side effects.

    This is far beyond the scope of these forums, whether or not the people here would like to admit it or not. Having said that, being that I have a background in healthcare I felt compelled to do a quick search. It has turned up information that people have investigated running the two together to...

    Histidine for fat loss

    For DM2, focus on losing weight as your first through tenth priority. Insulin resistance is directly related to adipose tissue content, AND insulin is coexpressed with a protein which forms local amyloid deposits in the pancreas, destroying it. So, as you get bigger you need to produce more...

    *Some* of my test results.

    Ah, gotcha. The way I read your post I thought you were making a more direct link and was wondering if there was something there I was unaware of. Having said that, if I could give any advice to the OP at the moment it would be to focus less on your "hormones" and focus more on losing a lot of...

    Mr. TT: just curious, why do you make those suggestions for his hypertension?

    Has anyone heard of trt not working after a test cyp cycle?

    If you are running prescription testosterone, it's not going to "not work". I don't know enough about the topic to comment on the subject of androgen receptors and if they possibly down-regulate after a cycle. But, even if that were the case I doubt it's anything significant as most people can...

    Please Estimate My BF%

    Great job! I'd also estimate about 20-25%. Hard to tell precisely. Don't pay attention to those electrical impedence scales. I'm at about 13% by calipers w/ a 31.75" waist @ 5'10, and mine tells me I'm 21% BF. My wife is about 20% BF and it tells her she's 16% o_0 Completely useless.

    *Some* of my test results.

    If the androgel worked for you before, then you've got a better case to treat your compensated hypogonadism. But, I'm not the one you've got to sell :) Having said that, clinically speaking, those things you described are all very vague and associated with many different conditions. Those in...

    *Some* of my test results.

    Your free and total testosterone levels are both well within normal limits. FSH and LH are high, which would suggest that your pituitary is having to kick up the gonadotropins (implying gonadal failure), but it would appear there is appropriate compensation (amazingly termed compensated...

    Going to see Endocrinologist

    No, they're really not like that. I'm not necessarily saying this is your case, but on the whole endo's are probably less likely to start T on someone requesting it because they actually know when someone doesn't have hypogonadism and won't treat a disorder that isn't there because their license...

    Going to see Endocrinologist

    If you're symptomatic and test is a low, then I can't imagine an endocrinologist not giving you some form of TRT. What they might do is try to sell you on alternative therapies to weekly IM. However, you can always make the argument that for the sake of cost and convenience, giving yourself...
