    Disappointed with Anabeta Elite and Erase Pro.

    I tried Anabeta (not Elite) a little after it came out and didn’t notice any positive effects. After about 3 weeks of slowly increasing the dose as I was seeing recommended here I started getting headaches. I backed off it and the headaches went away and then came back again when I upped the...

    A Recovering Ultra-runner

    Yeah I always go to a place here in Phoenix called “The Runners Den.” It’s a store owned by runners and their staff know what they are doing but over the years I’ve come to know what shoes work for me. The thing I always hated when I ultra-ran (except wearing out a pair of whose every 3-4...

    A Recovering Ultra-runner

    I started out mainly doing HIIT since I was already doing Hill Sprints as part of my GPP for lifting so I just extended the distance and time and started doing 30/30 intervals up hill. I generally only do sprints uphill because when I broke my leg years ago is didn’t quite set correctly so that...

    A Recovering Ultra-runner

    I’ve found that getting back to some running (well it’s more like jogging with several mild heart attacks along the way) is really helping out my stress level. Working out with weights helps me de-stress but it only lasts a few hours where doing some running will last me most if not all of the...

    Hey OG, nice to hear from you. I had to go on BP meds because mine varies anywhere from 117/75 to 160/110. The higher BP is almost 100% work related stress but as the doctor put it, it’s killing me so I better do something about it. Even though my net is only about 15.5” (I’m a actually a...

    A Recovering Ultra-runner

    Sorry it took so long to respond but I haven’t been checking forums much lately due to traveling. I was doing really well when I first got back from overseas in early October but at some point in late November if fell off the wagon so to speak. Basically I just got lazy and goal-less not...

    Older wiser and just broke my old record

    Hey OG, I’ve been out of the loop for a week or so travelling the Pacific. It really sucked to have a 3 day stop in Hawaii ;) However because of that my workouts have been pretty haphazard. Despite that I’ve set new PRs on both the Squat and Deadlift at 390 lbs. each while still at 180 lbs...

    What lab is it? The clinic I go to uses Labcorp, I should check and see if they have anything like that, but I have no problem getting copies of my labs results. I’m actually sort of double dipping right now. Since I just came back from a deployment I’m eligible for 6 months of free medical...

    Hey OG. I’ve only been on HRT since June and only test C so I have now experience with test E. I do know from reading around that that the general consensus is there’s little to no difference except some people say they retain more water with test C and that it might be better for mass gains...

    I hope I never have to go without test again. I felt so crappy with a free test level of 60, the doctor was surprised I had the motivation and energy to work out at all, but hell that was the only thing that kept me going. I hope you get back on soon and get the dosage right so you can get...

    A Recovering Ultra-runner

    You make a great point about overtraining. I had always thought about it as a factor in not making progress so instead it hit me in two other ways first tendonitis and second the shoulder impingement both I’m sure brought on by overuse due to frequency (though I was keeping the volume low)...

    I figured I’d start my own thread since I’ve been hanging out here for a while and should probably stop hijacking other people’s threads with my random comments. ;) Because I’m lazy I’ll start by quoting my first post here. Since that post about a year ago a few things happened. All my...

    How long for TRT effects to kick in

    I noticed the first effects driving to work from the clinic after my first 140 mg test cyp shot. It was just a general feeling of wellbeing something I hadn’t felt in a couple years. Within two weeks I was adding 5lbs. a week to my Deadlift and Squat which had been stagnant for months, and...

    Good to see you found someone you trust oldguns. I’ve been going to a specialty clinic since my doctor had no problem with me having very low test, never mind that it made me feel like crap. He felt it was depression and wanted to put me on Prozac, needless to say now that I’m on test and have...

    Questions about starting TRT

    Thanks I may try somewhere else if pinning my backside gets to be a pain. I hate to say it but eating good here is consisting of a lot of protein shakes right now. Typical chow hall fare is high fat and high carb even with many protein sources. Like today the most protein dense thing they had...

    Questions about starting TRT

    Well I got here just over a week ago and have only managed to get in two workouts, both on my days off. So far I’m so beat up after 12-13 hours on the flightline with the whole workday being around 14-15 hours I haven’t managed to even get in any mini-workouts. Even if I wasn’t exhausted...

    Questions about starting TRT

    Yes, that’s one of the issues they mentioned, that they have no idea what was put in the syringe or what I might have put in it after it was pre-loaded. The clinic did do a good job in that the labeled each syringe with prescription info. Yeah even the doc the prescribed it for me said it...

    Questions about starting TRT

    Thanks for the feedback. I agree they are doing it as well as I’m likely to find so I do plan to stick with them. They are still trying to find the right dose for me. They started me at 140mg/week and after 5 weeks I went from a total Test of 66 to 413 so they upped the dose to 160 mg/week...

    Questions about starting TRT

    Yes the clinic, an “anti-aging” clinic, (my personal doc has his up his butt and wouldn’t do anything despite my total Test being 66 . . . looking for a new doc), preloaded syringes for 9 weeks to get me through the deployment. It’s a 2 month TDY to Qatar. Be aware that CENTCOM has very...
