Telemedicine my man. This is Merica! Don’t like your doc… Get a new doc. Don’t want a doc?.. Go to a TRT clinic.

My free T isn’t that high (in proportion to total T that is).
Yes I did telemedicine with Defy…still adjusted doses accordingly to numbers. It’s awesome your doc didn’t lower your dose from your supraphysiological Total/Free TEST numbers.
Sucks for him. That’s also half my dose.
In excel male some guys claim if you are 1400 you are supraphysiological and thats it 
Defy is a doctor run TRT clinic. I go to an anti-aging clinic many of which don’t have docs running them. The doc is at one of his three homes collecting checks for signing prescriptions. There’s a ton of places like that. Not ideal for someone just starting TRT that has issues with every little thing but for someone that just wants a T prescription sent to their door every couple months and never has to talk to anyone about it it’s a great way to spend $150/month. Granted not everyone is going to have 2000 total T on 185mg but you’re looking at peak levels so it’s not the same thing as other folks labs you see done at trough.

I think most people (not you) that see my levels don’t understand peak & trough. They are comparing my levels to someone who does Xmg once a week and tests at trough. If I did the same 185mg once a week my levels would look just like everyone else’s (900-1100).
I get what you’re saying now…that’s interesting and went over my head.
Yes, you’re cavg is 2000… meaning if you shot say 190mg weekly you’d peak at say 2600, nadir at 1300… in the middle you’d be somewhere around 1950
I mean… ehh… I don’t think that’s particularly detrimental for a young male, if you’re 55-70 I’d say you’re pushing it… however some 60 y/o men are healthier than other 18y/olds I know… so it’s all individualistic… then again we have no data and I’m no expert.
However you’ve said prior “I’ve gone through shit no one should survive”… it peaks my curiosity, but it’s none of my business exactly what those “things” are… but it’s none of my business… given you specified you drank heavily… daily… for like the past six months I’d hypothesise you may be a fairly resilient specimen… my liver would crap out if I had like 15-20 standard drinks daily for 6 months (I don’t know how much you drunk, I’m just basing off how much it takes to get me sufficiently drunk… Genetic set point for tolerance appears to be absurd, my father and brother are similar so I assume it runs in the genes)…
This has nothing to do with dextermorgan and don’t really care to ask about stuff like that. But just chiming in body being resilent.
When it comes to substance addiction…the body becomes more resilent as more and more of the drug it gets exposed to so body can deal with it over time. It starts to get immune to it. But it’s actually a bad thing cause it’s more a defense mechanism…everyone coughs like crazy from suffocating when smoking their first cigarette…once hooked they don’t(unless smokers cough)
Most smokers are resilent. You have to be strong for your lungs to take a beating like that for years. But sometimes the body can’t handle until it’s too late.

Not really… the body doesn’t get used to systemic cellular damage… you build a tolerance to the intoxicating effect… but if resilience built up regarding the toxicity from drugs, cocaine addicts wouldn’t develop cardiomyopathy/myocardial fibrosis, alcoholics wouldn’t develop dilated cardiomyopathy, fatty liver disease etc
apoptotic mechanisms induced via substance abuse remain the same. Threshold to induce said effects however differs from person to person
I just got labs back that are a little high for my dose.
I’m on 100mg/wk test c
25 mg/day scrotal cream
500iu/wk HCG.
I split injections every 3.5 days, tested at trough.
I’m prescribed 120mg/wk test C, 50mg day scrotal cream and 600iu HCG. I voluntarily reduced my dose after my last set of labs as levels were even higher. I feel fine but do worry about long term effects of running too high (I’m 42), only sides I’d say I have at the moment are waking up too early some days and H&H start to push above 52 every 3-4 months so I donate.
I didn’t know anti-aging clinics aren’t run by doctors(or many). When I was going to defy I told my PCP that it’s an ant-aging clinic and he frowned upon it saying they’re controversial, etc and only care up selling you.
I’m not saying they don’t know about TRT or aren’t knowledgeable I’m just saying that with many of them the doctor is not a fixture there and really only serves to sign off on prescriptions. Most guys don’t have issues on TRT. I have friends that have no idea about anything besides they are given Testosterone and they feel good. They are all on the same dose and doing great. These clinics are businesses and focus on selling a product but obviously it’s more profitable if the client stays with the clinic so the incentive is to make sure the client is doing well. These clinics are especially ideal for those people that have found what works for them and just need a legal means of acquiring T at the lowest price point.
Defy also prescribes deca now… if they keep progressing without scrutiny of the FDA maybe they’ll start giving out anavar…
I went to the Endo today. He gave me a lab sheet so I’m going tomorrow morning. He said next week he’ll call me and make adjustments. I also told him what told me as well. I told him I want him to prescribe the testosterone and he’s fine with that and does appointments every 3 months for this.We will see next week if he send 200mg/week script to my pharmacy after talking on phone lol.
Awesome man!
How’s that? “vacuum effect” does not depend on the volume of the vessel (syringe, in this case). The vacuum you can pull is dependent on the ambient pressure (~ 14.7 psi / 101.3 kpa / etc). It doesn’t matter at all whether the volume that’s at that vacuum is 1/3 cc or 20 gigaliters. You’re exerting that much pressure (ie 14.7 psi) against the internal diameter of the needle.

So if you pull a vacuum with a syringe in a vial of test, you are getting a Delta P between the two vessels which causes flow from high to low pressure. Now as the syringe fills up, Delta P gets smaller, and the flow rate goes down. The larger the syringe the less Delta P goes down with the same amount of test in the syringe, right? So the average flow rate is higher with a larger syringe.
Correct me if I am wrong here, as I had to think about this one a bit (my original statement was more of a gut feel, which is why I started it with “I would think”).
Yeah man lol. Do you take SARMs?
