  1. BPC157 IM ?

    My shoulder pops like crazy only in certain ranges of motion. It's the joint instability (mostly the head of humerus coming out of glenoid pocket) caused by the labral tear. I'm trying to work on stabilizing the joint before considering surgery. The rubbing sound you are describing might be...
  2. BPC157 IM ?

    Haven't done BPC157 but was just talking to a guy at my gym who had shoulder surgery about it. I'm currently dealing with a shoulder injury as well. MRI shows a torn labrum. Labrum will not repair itself over time nor respond to peptides. My friend was explaining that if I opted for surgery...
  3. TRT - Subcutaneous V Intramuscular Injections

    I compared my TRT-level injections sub q vs IM and found my sub q levels to be much lower for some reason. Doc supported giving it a try, saying that it is all going into the body and will be metabolized, albeit at potentially different rates. I wasn't happy with how I felt or my blood levels...
  4. Endocrinologist vs TRT Clinic

    The hardest part of going the endo route, is finding an endo who understands TRT and is willing to help. I went through a bunch of local physicians who told me my low 200 number was fine because it was within range (I was about 40 at the time, not 80) before I abandoned that approach and went...
  5. Subcutaneous TRT protocol

    Sub q TRT never worked for me either and I too prefer delt injections. For me, there is about a 400ng/dL difference between the two methods (8-900 ng/dL vs 4-500 ng/dL - sub q being the lower number).
  6. Stay on trt yes or no?

    If you were diabetic and your only option were to take insulin, would that be cheating in life or setting yourself up for a fall? There are definitely different things you need to monitor and be mindful of on TRT, but to me it is the same philosophy. If you are hormonally deficient, you do...
  7. Inzer lever vs single prong?

    My lever belt does pinch me occassionally, but reminds me that I can stand to lose a few pounds. I prefer my lever over my single prong because when properly adjusted, the lever belt is much easier to put on and remove. With my single prong, I find myself relying on pulling it against some...
  8. Air Force approved stack?

    The military isn't constrained by what is scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act, or other banned substances. If they wanted to ban sucralose while you are in, guess what, it's banned while you are in. They can, and do, regulate your conduct beyond what is legal or otherwise permissible...
  9. Air Force approved stack?

    Just keep in mind that you won't have access to supplements while in basic training. Don't become dependent on anything prior to basic.
  10. Questions about TRT

    Agreed. The mental acuity effects are among the most significant benefits to me. My thought processes are much more fluid now.
  11. 2 Bumps on forearm after workout?

    Could be the vein, or lipomas if they don't run along a vein.
  12. 18 gauge for trt

    If they are luer lock syringes (twist on), yes, you can change the needles. Never saw a syringe with a fixed 18ga needle (not saying they don't exist tho). You can buy 25ga needles and put them on the syringe after drawing with the 18ga needle. You can also draw and inject with just a 25ga...
  13. best tasting bcaa

    I've been liking the Xtend mango flavor recently.
  14. SARM while on TRT

    It can be expensive going through an online clinic, but it is the way I started off my quest, since all of the docs I had available to me at the time were so uneducated about TRT that they tried to make me feel like I was doing something dirty even talking about it. I also once saw an...
  15. Questions about TRT

    Started about three years ago when my levels were mid 200s, while in my early 40s. I was probably in a bad place testosterone-wise for several years leading up to the decision to do something about it. I've tweaked my dosing over the years and am at my sweet spot of 50mg 2x/week which puts me...
  16. SARM while on TRT

    I don't mean to derail the thread, but since we are talking about TRT, I think that you can do much better if you find a doc that can prescribe self-administered testosterone injections. My sweet spot is 50mg 2x/wk. I get a 10mL vial at Costco for $50 (GoodRX). That comes out to $260 for the...
  17. Low free test on 300mg trt

    Free T is the real benchmark. Why doctors still operate in the stone ages looking only at total T, as if it really tells us anything, is a mystery to me.
  18. Low free test on 300mg trt

    I'd recommend asking him to add a SHBG test, and/or add the free testosterone to the test and use your total and free levels to calculate SHBG. If your levels are that low on 300mg/wk, I strongly suspect very low SHBG levels leading to fast clearance. Low SHBG is characterized by (assuming one...
  19. Fluctuating numbers on TRT and injection sites

    My levels are consistently higher when I do delt shots exclusively versus when i do quad shots exclusively. I go from the mid to high 800s with quad shots to around 1000 with delt shots. I'm currently rotating again and have a blood test coming up, so I'll see how much, if any difference there...
