Well I haven’t gained any fat (outside of a couple lbs over the holiday) in a drastic manner. My weight has been stable since last fall. My current weight is not remarkable to me historically.
You are on IM right?
I think not fasting can affect liver value #'s bro. Let me ask one of the docs here… and ill get back to you.

Monday: Heavy Squats
Tuesday: Heavy Chest
Wednesday (draw day): Spin bike high intensity intervals
Edit: When I say HIIT I mean I limp off of this bike and have to sit for 5-10 minutes to regain strength in my legs to walk down the gym stairs.
@NH_Watts lol. There you go.

Doctor here stated that fasting or non fasting shouldn’t affect liver values, Just FYI.

Hey NH is your bilirubin always a little on the higher side? Since starting TRT mine has been in the 1+ range, and it correlated with my HCT/HGB/RBC, going up.
Since 2014. The last 5 values are since I started TRT. Does not include the 1.0 from latest lab so the last 1.0 here was from December.

Nice! Sounds like my interval day on the bike. I use a power meter and I ducking hate seeing the 300 /400 watt workouts. Pain.
You have to fast for about 30 days to see a big change in chemicals. Sunrise to sunset. I do this once a year for religion reasons and I always come out so fresh and mentally stronger.
Why wouldn’t the Dr order the entire metabolic panel? These Dr’s… I think you have insurance. So what is the big deal with these Dr’s
This is for the Endo…I have no idea. He just wants a few things.
You take in no calories for an entire month?
After sunsets and before sun rises . Ramadan.

Moving from a lowered dose to 60mg EOD or around 210mg per week for a while. Bringing the shots in more frequent to try to avoid some of the high E2 sides Ive experienced before, even if they were transient. I will not be using an AI.
Maybe I can avoid the oily skin and acne this way too but I won’t hold my breath.
