That’s a perfect idea man. It teaches kids discipline; self defense , but also serious work ethic. Nobody works harder than a training fighter. I guess most athletes but self confidence is huge for a Youngin… watch out bullies…
How long have you been doing this bro.
I started my first protocol of 100mg every 14 days in October of 2017.

Hey brother, how have you been feeling? Done any recent labs?
Curious how your doing with your ancillaries. (dhea and so on)
Hey man. Doing well. Putting on LBM and leaning out slowly. Happy for any movement so glacial I will take. Killing it in the gym but only 4 days a week these days. Coaches orders. We’ll see what he has in store. Cals around 3k a day and carb heavy. Zero cardio except walking and yard work.
No recent labs on 70x2 a week t-cyp. Still slight memory issues and some fogginess but Id say 80% better most days. Not sure what’s up. Libido is strong and wife has stepped up her game luckily. She seems to be quite enjoying the new me all around. 
Trainer at gym mentioned my pec development…and he is more of a functional training guy and I abandoned his program after 6 weeks for some old school BB. So the compliment seemed genuine… of course at the end of the compliment he said “unless of course you’re wearing your wife’s t-shirt”. Hahahaha. He’s a good guy.

Have you had experience with AAS prior to this trt you started in 2017?
And how old are you if i might ask?
Never. I am 47.
I’m glad you are doing well brother! Will be interested in those labs once you get them.
I listened to “coach” as well and increased my test. My bottles hold 240 mg, so I am doing 60mg twice a week right now.
Bro, I need to get on the walking. How long do you go and how often? What kind of pace do you take? I also just got my mountain bike back so I am definitely getting on that. Interested in this though because I HATE running (plus my knees don’t LOVE it just yet, HA).
So I am on week 5 (so repeating the 4 weeks he designed for me) and I have done zero actual walking. I get my walking in on the weekend doing yard work. Eight hours of it on Saturday for 19k steps and nearly 10 miles and I never left my 3/4 acre property.

Was your Pregnalone low when you started taking it? I looked thru all of my blood work and it’s never been tested just My DHEA. I have also been taught to be scared of carbs like white rice but maybe I should take a second look/ stan efferding makes a lot of sense to

It was on the very low end of normal so not optimal. I eat a ton of carbs and I just keep building muscle and getting stronger. I was skeptical at first but I am different now that I am hormonally optimized. I am relearning how my body works now.

I feel I am in a similar situation now that I am becoming optimized. I always stayed away from carbs because I would bloat and smooth right out. I will see if I can add pregnalone to my upcoming blood test with LabCorp
What does your breakfast look like these days?
That avatar… Holy crap @alldayeveryday… Was wondering how you’ve been doing. Guess a picture really is worth a thousand words. Nice progress.

Hey bud. I’m good. Bored with this blast. Ready to go back to trt levels. Next time I might try Propionate as many of my friends swear by it.
Me? 1/2 cup rice cereal with PB and sf choc syrup (pre), periworkout drink, post is 5 oz turkey, 1.5 cup of rice, and pineapple.
