Bloodwork: Low Test, Low Estrogen

More here…

But you’ll want to move it around all over the entire area. Wherever you feel a little pain, like where it’s senitive when the ball buts pressure on it, that’s where you want to focus the most time.

You should also move it around the joint toward the back as well. Play around with different positioning and pay particular attention to areas that are sensitive when you put pressure on them.

With my hand I actually feel the pain when rubbing near 1 under that bone. Closer to neck not arm pit

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it

No prob. If you feel the pain closer to the front, a foam roller on the floor is pretty effective at being able to work that area.

So I had my appointment with my endo yesterday. We went over blood work. Nothing major to talk about there. Asked them about metformin. They said they would only prescribe if I did bloodwork and showed a need for it. She said no one has ever requested it before…

How do you show the need for increased insulin sensitivity? High fasted triglycerides or blood sugar?

Insulin blood test. Esp if you fasting

Wife did this recently. At lab Corp. Had I known about the quest thing B4 could have done it there. Didn’t really study the results or where it should be. The score would be easier. Maybe.

I thought I read Fasting insulin should be under 10. But not sure what medication do to the numbers. She is in metformin already


Havent checked in for a while. Ive been blasting 500 mg for a while now. Recently introduced 150 mg of masteron per week to see how i responded to it. I was nervous my e2 would crash but havent noticed any sides. Its been pretty uneventful for the most part. Some strength gains noted. Mostly it has hardened me up nicely. I love the look. I just havent been eating enough. Overall I’m happy though.

Are you still looking for metformin? I get mine from india no script I take 500mg 1 morning 1 evening. google safemedsforall I pay .25 each when buying 600 NEW10 will get you 10% off. HTH

Do you notice any benefit from metformin supplementing?

Metformin blocks V02 max during imtense exercise and decreases the ability to increase improvements in insulin during exercise.

God damn dude. You make me feel like I am doing everything wrong. Looking amazing.

A little late to this one as I am getting caught up with this thread but I had pain where you stated yours is. I used a lacrosse on my pecs right below the color bone and along the outside and doorway stretches for the chest. Then on the reverse side more back exercises than chest and face pulls. A physical therapist told me mine was bicep tendonitis caused by my shoulders being pulled forward by my chest being too tight and overpowering the back. Something you could try if you are still having pain.

You know I honestly can’t tell. I take Sermorelin and Ipamorelin for an IGF-1 boost, metformin for better insulin control, cardarine to boost endurance at the gym and I blast twice a year. I think the blasting does the most. The others I don’t know I’m still in review mode. Nice selfy you have definitely put some work in.

Ive been blasting over 12 weeks with 500 mg test e a week and recently added masteron at 150 mg a week. Ive actually been to nervous to check my blood pressure because I didnt want to get spooked. I just took my blood pressure and it came back 115/65. I was expecting it to be elevated more than that. Guess its a good data point for the future.
