I actually use cyp with tren a 
no PIP. I hate prop. @hmcyl
You didn’t get night sweats? Anxiety? I got all that plus crazy appetites, blood sugar drops without notice BUT I fucking LOVE tren but the wife said no more. 
Heard that haha. I won’t use it anymore either. I would if I could but having a doctor for a wife she knows too much hahahahaha! I didn’t get side effects really. she just isn’t ok with the harshness of the drug. @studhammer
Around 13 weeks. Took it with 40mg/day tbol (which I have done multiple times - love that stuff) and felt nothing more than what I am accustomed to on the tbol. I was rather disappointed, because I keep hearing how guys love it.
My wife is no doc, but she said never again to the tren as well. Apparently it’s no fun for her when the ol noodle goes numb part way through the deed, and downgrades to semi status. She laughed it off at the time, then put her foot down after she knew I was off it. I think she was worried I’d get over-aggro if she approached it then. Didn’t have any mood swings (actually was happy as shit on that stuff, aside from the tren dick), but she didn’t want to spark something I guess. Sucks, cause tren makes you a fucking beast in the gym, then in bed it’s the ol sad trombone.

Soooo about medicine, did you get into med school undergraduate or did you have to complete a science degree (or other degree) to get in. I’m asking because I’m going for medicine and it’s very hard to get in here, like your average grade must be 94%+ in order to even stand a chance of getting in, with the majority needing an average grade of 98-99%. 94 is very possible but 99 percent average… No way
If you got in undergrad, are you a genius? How’d you do it?
I don’t know about other countries but it is exceedingly rare, to the point that I’d be surprised if anyone on here had ever even heard of it happening, for someone to go to med school without getting a bachelors. You need an undergraduate degree. I can guarantee @physiolojik didn’t go into med school as an undergrad.
@flappinit @unreal24278 yea man - went and got an undergraduate degree in biochemistry then on to med school it isn’t exactly easy to get in to med school here either but it isn’t impossible clearly because I’ve known some docs who I stop and wonder how they did it haha. The path was undergraduate school, medical school, residency, then fellowship, then done haha
Do you mean anyone on here? My mother got into undergrad med. When she moved to Aus she had to take a test as Aus didn’t want doctors at the time but she got in because she scored like… One of the top in her country I believe she got in. She’s very, very, very smart. Some other members of my family are currently in med school, but I believe they had to get a bachelor’s in biomedical science first. Due to the plethora of health issues I’ve had over the years I can apply for special consideration from various universities which might increases my chances of getting in as an undergraduate… Only time will tell, otherwise it’s a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science or pharmacy and into medicine
I believe there might be some sort of genetic factor for intelligence passed on through my family. However I don’t know where the loads of health issues gene came from with regards to my health, extremely premature births can’t help.
Then I would either like to specialise in endocrinology or pain management, as I’ve personally had a fair amount of experience with both and know the suffering and lack of quality of life both conditions can cause and I want to help people as I feel many don’t receive adequate treatment or live their entire lifespans knowing something’s wrong without ever finding out what it is. I’d prefer endocrinology though as hormones are very interesting, I’d open up my own private clinic (hopefully not practising in Aus, hopefully USA where I get a bit more freedom) and that’s my life plan… That or a heavy metal superstar, the next Ozzy ozbourne (just kidding)

I meant in the US. That’s very impressive though. I think, given the relief it’s provided you and the tons of knowledge you have and actively seek out on the subject, endocrinology is a good fit for you and I think you can certainly do it.
My family is a similar way- father was a neuroscientist, mother neuroscientist, brother immunologist at Rockefeller. Intelligence absolutely has a genetic factor - what you do with that intelligence is what matters.

Hey brother @physioLojik.
I recently found a spot that sells raw milk, and im jumping on it.
Did you say you drank half a gallon a day? Just curious, I will probably start a little less than that, but I love milk.
@anon10035199 heck yes I love raw milk man. I drink about half a gallon daily haha. Granted I also eat around 6k calories haha

Would appreciate you thoughts on the above Physio, if you have time. Also wondered if you were taking the slow release metformin or regular? I can only get the regular release in 500mg. Can get 1000mg SR but thought that was maybe too much?
Thanks.
@flatdanny
Hey man! Actually metformin is beneficial to use with hep b. And I actually use the standard version. Not sustained release.
Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it (;
That’s great news then… Will pick up some 500mg Bigomet then.
One other thing I wanted to ask you Physio, was if my ongoing itchy chest could be caused by the liver? I’m down to 130mg Test a week now, no ai, no HCG and 10mg nolva (dropped down from 20mg) but still get itchy chest and sometimes other areas get a bit itchy. I also noticed in the past when I would take cocodamol pain killers my skin will crawl and be very itchy, thought it could be connected?
Skin itchiness is a common side effect of opiate painkillers, I believe there isn’t much knowledge as to why opiates cause itching however I recently read an interesting paper suggesting that opiate related itchiness is only related to one opiate receptor isoform, therefore in the near future an itch free opiate painkiller may be a reality. The three main types of opiate pain receptors responsible for analgesia are delta, kappa and mu or something similar like that I need to brush up on my medical knowledge so I very well may be wrong. Most opiates non-specifically bind to all three receptors giving powerful pain relief, which isoform is responsible for the itching I’m not sure. I’ll have to check again, however it’s interesting.
Personally I hate codiene, there’s too much variability towards it, some people metabolise it more than others (Codiene is metabolised via the Cyp2d6 enzyme to morphine), people who are hyper Cyp2d6 metabolizers will convert more codiene to morphine, therefore for these individuals condiene may actually be dangerous, especially if they are more sensitive, end up taking a dose that would be fine for a regular person and then get sick or suffer from profound respiratory depression, then some people are the opposite and therefore not enough codiene metabolises to morphine (I think, I’m not a medical professional), that’s just my opinion on codiene. @flatdanny
Opiates are well known for causing secondary hypogonadism (except for tapentadol and to a lesser effect but still prevelant buprenorphine, how long have you been taking codiene for, morphine is one of the more suppressive opiates with regards to LH and FSH production). What kind of pain do you take codiene for? Codiene used to be OTC here, however too many kids were extracting the codiene via cold water extraction and drinking the solution, ending up getting super high or overdosing because kids are fucking IDIOTS, anyhow it’s better off being a prescription only substance.
Finally, I’m not against opiates, so don’t take this the wrong way, I’m just wondering why you’re using them. These medications cop a lot of flack and bad press because of the widespread abuse involving these medications. When abused the consequences of opiates can be absolutely devastating, with a slipperly slope going down to heroin avenue and ending up at death by fentanyl (or carfentanyl… just kidding, that’s a joke, can’t even come into contact with that stuff without dying unless you’re an elephant) laced heroin. However for some with chronic pain related to cancer or severe injury/ chronic pain disorders (arthritis, fibromyalgia (if it works for said person with fibromyalgia), rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic peripheral neuropathy etc.) these medications can be a godsend as it allows them to live normal lives, however these medications in the past were heinously overprescribed and it led to a lot of issues. Also I don’t believe these medications should be first line therapies, other alternatives should probably be tried first, however for chronic pain non respondant to non opiates they may be a viable solution for those suffering day in and day out… However I could be wrong I’m not a professional
Thanks for your reply and for all the info. Much appreciated… I don’t take any pain killers or any other medication, apart form my testosterone and tamoxifen. Oh and just started low dose HGH. I have taken some codeine based meds in the past for pain relief for my scleroderma/joints, but I only took when they got really bad. Not often, because I know that stuff is not good long term… In fact Ive gotten more pain relief from taking testosterone than I ever did taking pain killers, which leads me to believe a lot of my joint pain was due to low e2.
That sort of shite happens here in the UK too. Back in the day (in my 20-30’s) just about everyone I knew took some sort of recreation drug on a regular basis. Was just the norm back then… Still, now I’m older and wiser I don’t touch anything anymore. A drink now and again but that about it. I’m a good boy (:
Hello my friends. My deca cycle is coming to a close. All things considered it’s been great. The reality is at my age and training level drugs only do so much I put on a little weight and my joints feel good - that being said they generally always have felt good. I’m around 265 currently. I actually prefer how I feel and look at 250-255. This might be my last “cycle” involving drugs other than test unless I decide to do a show again (Wife prefers no). The only one I would consider again is eq. But I’d rather just cycle lower and higher dosages of test. I’m dropping back to 300 a week (one shot a week for all of you curious guys) and I’ll stay there at least another 16 weeks before I make any alterations! Thanks all for following along!

No more of this.
So I assume you are still going to use supraphysiologic doses of testosterone in the future? Out of curiosity, do you plan on using 300mg for the rest of your life or is there a point where you’ll drop down to say 150-200mg/wk. Is the reasoning for not running other AAS due to safety concerns, I believe testosterone is a good deal safer than nandrolone and most, if not all other AAS with regards to long term sides. @physioLojik
Also nice job with regards to the cycle, made exceptional progress (although how much of the weight do you realistically expect to keep?)
Hey bro. I feel like if I’m not competing there is really no need for other drugs. As far a small keeping the weight - if I keep my cals up I won’t lose anything. I play around with dosages between 250/300 for my baseline TRT. @unreal24278i actually feel way better on only test and or lower dosages.
