No. Your hand is warm.
So are you 100% that you take 28.6mg daily test and have high estrogen for a guy…you feel GREAT?
I
I have the exact same reading on 125mg(week) x 2 shots, doctor wanted to prescribe ai, I declined and he said to take 50-100mg of zinc, does anyone do zinc regularly?
Why?
Not really. I’ve read of folks having issues with it. Have you checked your zinc levels for a deficiency?
Honestly I don’t have any new sympton’s since starting trt, I have improved fatigue and can control emotions better and have a don’t give a fuck attitude unless it’s important.
He said my free t was above range although he had to use a calculation with what I think was total t, shbg and albium, he wouldn’t up my dose, to treat the symptoms that still persist A little less than before
You don’t have any water retention?
I did when I started TRT. I gained 14 lbs by end of week 5 but it went away after 3 or so months on it’s own.
As my estrogen gets higher from not using ai at running 200mg/7 days…what do you think I can expect? I’ve been on TRT 2 years using 3-4 different protocols…this one about 5 months (200mg/week divided by 2 doses and .25mg ai twice a week). I can’t wait till my 27g syringes come in these 25g 1 inch everyday is annoying
You can expect your body to adjust to new hormonal changes like when you charge anything else. It’s not that you reach a certain level that causes issues it’s that your body is adjusting.

Oh ok I didn’t know that I thought it was associated with high estrogen no matter where someone is on their TRT regimen. Do you lift as well?
Yes. I’m not a big guy but any means but I milk that 200mg/week for everything it’s worth.
200mg can be milked quite a bit… Over time the results garnered from that dose will be SIGNIFICANTLY better than say… training naturally… it just might take a year or two to turn heads as opposed to a few months when on fat cycles… but the first option is FAR healthier!

No way I thought lifting results from TRT is already milked like the first year or at least no longer seems significant after since the body gets use to it
Yes… but hear me out here
According to literature, 200mg weekly increases net protein synthesis roughly two fold comparative to controls.
Furthermore, when one cuts down naturally, test drops quite a bit (more complicated than this, other hormones are involved) and the body goes into a catabolic state… this happens typically once the individual drops below 10-8 percent BF… consistently supplementing enough test to get to/slightly above the upper limits or normality will allow the body to maintain muscle mass or even attain anabolism whilst cutting. Years down the line, the difference regarding how much muscle mass one can hold onto whilst lean will be significant… the individual WILL (at least to a certain extent) look enhanced

Here’s my body changes on 2-3 years of TRT with basically no workout knowledge besides doing Athleanx YouTube videos and very little understanding of diet besides eat lots of food. I’m definitely not in amazing shape but I’m still getting results post 1 year mark with not a ton of effort. TRT is an advantage for as long as you’re on it. The main advantages though are the mental aspect. The physical aspect is just an added bonus.

I was taking Zinc when searching for my libido and erections and I think it threw me off quite a bit. I have been on TRT for about a 17 months and I think the zinc, boron.etc…supplements caused a lot of issues but I also am not dialed in, currently doing .3 EOD of cypionate, I think the bulk of my issues was the E2 fear and not getting free T high enough…fingers crossed as Im only on week 2 of the new dose
Do you find it hard to aspirate with 28g? With 31g it’s pretty hard like I can’t even pull the plunger back …im using them temporarily till my 28g arrives. I’ve been hoping I don’t go into a vein last couple days lol.
I dont believe a lot of us aspirate at all. I never see doctors/pa’s/nurses either
