  1. What Happens if a Normal Person Does TRT?

    Thanks. My guess is that pharmaceutical testosterone, done at safe dose, monitored by a doctor, works better than the body's own production, purely for cosmetic purposes. This is the same logic as being in pain and getting safe doses of morphine, monitored carefully by a responsible doctor...

  2. Basic Endocrinology Question: Can Someone Be Within the Reference Ranges, but Still Be Sick?

    Hi Everyone, I never quite understood how reference ranges were developed and how they worked. 1. Quackwatch.org and other sites explain reference ranges well: - Formed on millions of subjects - Using billions of data points - Are extra generous to account for infants, children, teenagers...

  3. 35 YRS OLD TRT BLOOD WORK IN 3 DAYS

    I am in your same shoes. I have been on TRT about ten years ago, because my doses are low on the reference ranges. 1. Honestly, doing TRT for six months did not have an impact one way or another. Nothing dramatic, the way even low doses of anabolic steroids will do. 2. If you watch...

  4. Any Way to Counteract Lithium? TRT, GH, Thyroid?

    @dr. D., I am presuming you are a real medical doctor (MD, not PHD, chiropractor, etc.) Thanks for giving real advice. I always wanted T4, rather than T3. 1. Is TSH a completely reliable measurement for regular and sub-clinical problems? I will check, but my entire life, even recently on...

  5. What Happens if a Normal Person Does TRT?

    @PoSiTiVeFLoW Thanks for the opinion. Although you are only one anecdote, can you share your experience: 1. Do you think it helped get you back to where you were in your 20's? 2. Did it actually help get more strength, more muscle, less bodyfat than even before? (every "this old man tried...

  6. Any Way to Counteract Lithium? TRT, GH, Thyroid?

    If TRT makes no difference, what about all those news stories? https://www.youtube[dot]com/watch?v=Bk8vQHCEqds Did this senior citizen look this good as a young man, and his lower T just made him out of shape? I would love to get the results he did.

  7. Any Way to Counteract Lithium? TRT, GH, Thyroid?

    I have done Wellbutrin. It definitely has a very mild stimulant effect. Yet, I did not notice any major weight loss, etc. Then again, I was not on lithium then. I cannot see it doing that much harm, either.

  8. Any Way to Counteract Lithium? TRT, GH, Thyroid?

    Hi Guys, 1. For my mood issues and anxiety, I take low dose lithium. It works wonders for calming down. All day, it is the same mood effect as if I had gone swimming for a few hours. Just more mellow. 2. The only real bad side effect is the weight gain...about 50 lbs...most of it fat (the...

  9. Cheapest Countries for Human Growth Hormone?

    Ok, sorry. Please notice I was asking about real people with real prescriptions, who needed it for health (not cosmetic) reasons.

  10. Cheapest Countries for Human Growth Hormone?

    Hello, Some people I know get HGH prescribed legally. But, it is expensive in the US, etc. Is there any place with official price lists, for legal HGH? My guess would be a place like Thailand would be best. Good quality of medical care, lower prices.

  11. Approaching 40 Years; Do I Need TRT?

    Thanks. 1. I worry about losing my fertility forever, even if I get off TRT at a later time. Can anyone comment about that? 2. What type of TRT is the best? I heard injectable testosterone cypionate is good. My military doctor gave me an androgel. In Thailand, they give the three-month...

  12. Best Research for "Time Under Tension"

    Thanks. Hypertrophy Max seemed liked a well-designed system. A focus on Tension was the first month, followed by a month on density, etc. Granted, we see the focus was musle hypertrophy, not strength of fat loss. If nothing else, Hypertrophy Max set a clear goal, and periodization changed...

  13. Best Info on Progressive Overload Principles?

    I can post the book, if it is allowed. Here are Venuto's 8 Factors: "(weight lifted, reps, sets, number of exercises, frequency of sessions, tension, density, intensity...in that order) (linear periodization, then wave loading, then unloading...in that order)"

  14. Best Info on Progressive Overload Principles?

    Hi Everyone, You guys have convinced me that progressive overload is the most critical, central element for progress in training. 1. This begs the question "what are the best ways to do progressive overload?" 2. Fitness Guru Tom Venuto has summed it up in his e-book: Invalid Link Removed...

  15. Exogenous Ketones works or a myth ?

    Thanks. I can just look into it.

  16. Exogenous Ketones works or a myth ?

    For a blood ketone monitor, I am afraid of pricking my finger. I just get squeamish. Is there any other authorized way to do it, such as pricking a vein in my arm, where I get injections?

  17. Exogenous Ketones works or a myth ?

    One of the things that always confused me was my body relectuance to get into ketosis. If I use KetoStix, it takes 6 days of zero carbs (not even leafy vegetables) to get into ketosis. Sticks do not change until the end of that sixth day, then it turns purple. 1. Is there any better way to...

  18. What Are Exogenous Ketones? Do They Work?

    Thanks. Is there any high-quality research or data that shows if its true?

  19. Best Chest Workout Routine Ever? Bench Press or Pushups?

    Very good. I like that we are getting into debate. 1. As for chest development, I know Starting Strength was good. I will just do 5 x 5 of bench, and 3 sets of unweighted dips to failure. I will do that twice a week, and keep going until progress stops. 2. Again, this chest development...

  20. Best Chest Workout Routine Ever? Bench Press or Pushups?

    Hi Everyone, To preface, I am doing Rusty Moore's Visual Impact Kettlebell Workouts. So, I am not in the gym regularly, doing barbell and dumbbells. So far, I have been impressed with the subtle improvements. In the past, I have over-trained with regular gym exercises, running, etc. But...
