Hi cal great to see you join the board…

I know you have a very impressive T1 diabetic client (im T1D also)

Just wondering apart from the obvious pros and cons of being t1, do you have any tips or advice how to get the most from this situation? Eg – manipulation of medication/food etc to make it as beneficial as possible in terms… Read more

Do you know your blood pressure?

Yeah soon as the dose increases from say trt I start to notice this issues

I feel ok to be honest? Other than the above sides!!!?

Any input/direction much appreciated

Cycle wise I’ve pretty much used everything compound wise at low and higher doses (2g) which im not proud of but in my early years of using i always thought more is better!!!

However of late I’ve always been alot more Conservative with dosing!!

For example current cycle is
200mg test cyp
100mg primo
100mg mast
M/W/F
along with… Read more

Yes Bold isn’t an option for me because of the anxiety issues it causes me without fail!!

Well the primary aim is to use in an off season phase , whilst trying to reduce/minimise the above side effects

So I’m currently considering running a no test base cycle for a few reasons which ill list below and just Curious on feedback/opinions of people who have tried it and or use this method

So firstly I suffer with a fair few test sides as soon as I creep over 200-250mg per week , be it blood pressure elevation, water retention , anxiety ,… Read more

In range meaning it didn’t elevate your igf?

As above just wondered if anyone has used ?
Advar hejotropin?

This is probably my best option at the moment… struggling to find the likes of meditrope etc..

Thanks

Its going to be used in an off season phase…

So for muscle gain and help with body comp as much as possible in a surplus…

Obviously I know its not a night and day drug… but that’s how I intend on utilising it

Ok ryan thanks, so which would you say is be more optimal from the 2 ?

5iu split am/pm EOD
OR
2.5iu split am/pm ED

Ok kuba thanks, so which would you say is be more optimal from the 2 ?

5iu split am/pm EOD
OR
2.5iu split am/pm ED

Hi guys this is solely based on financial situation but what would be the best option in terms of dosing …

2.5 is every day post workout
Or
5iu EOD Post workout

Idea with post workout is using alongside insulin (diabetic)

Let me know your thoughts guys?

I’m just looking to put on as much muscle as possible, I’ve kind of been doing the same thing or similar for a long time, and now looking at exploring other options, also to bring up weak areas etc

Recovery wise id same im pretty decent tbh, im usually on top of that

So typically how many working sets would you do for say a typical pull session?

I’ve always been a body part per day guy n done loads exercises etc but 7 day frequency, looking to switch and trying PPL to up frequency

Ok so when u say 4 days? Do u mean training days a week? Or a 3 on 1 off , so u hit same muscle every 4 days?

Just starting a general discussion, on what you guys prefer? And why?

For example a bro split
With say 7 exercises once every 7 days
Or
A PPL style split halving the volume hitting everything every 4/5 days

Thanks so much for your time bro 🙏. Currently double dosing supp needs Astrag flow.. which will be 16g astragalus daily – just because I’m so paranoid about this issue now, just want to take every pre caution…

I’ll be sure to check the video on YouTube, and ill also push for cycstatin C test on my next panel…

They’ve booked me a… Read more

Yes I’ve looked this up, its higher in people with diabetes (I am diabetic)

Although it is cause for concern of course with all the things that could be linked to a high CRP reading…

I’ll get this looked into

Also, I see you mention this on a older post with a similar issue…

The water retention in the morning is noticeably less, its most noticeable after a day at work etc

I’ll try post it again mate, but the pictures won’t upload last time for some reason 🤔

No , according to the ranges on the blood test they are all in normal range except liver alt, and kidney Serum urea/sodium very slightly…

I’m going to order a kidney panel from medichecks today (even if inconsistent)

And to update ill be finishing the cycle as of today , as I think that’s the most sensible option right now

Water… Read more

I’ve also had this issue with rohm test e, I switched to rohm test c and issue was much much less…

Also test p is fine too

My idea at the moment will be

Pull 1
No lower back loading, mainly pull downs and width work

Pull 2
Would be more rows/rdl etc

Push 1 more chest biased

Push 2 more shoulder biased

Legs quad/hams

Yes bud

As above this is my bloods at beginning of my prep in March..

Regarding to my water retention issue posted other day..

As above this is blood work at start of prep in March… regarding my previous post about water retention

Hi guys as above,

In my opinion my upper lacks size/density compared to my lower body… I feel im quite lower dominant, so I’m looking at putting a split together to cover this issue..

Pull
Push
Legs
Rest
Pull
Push
Rest

Obviously with increased frequency volume will need to be adjusted, its person dependant but what would be a… Read more

Ok mate, ill get them results and I’ll post them back on here bud 👍…

And FYI- it was full blood panel, liver, kidney, thyroid etc etc… every test I’ve had done via the doctors has always included full kidney panel – so I’d be suprised if this one didn’t…

But let me sort that out and ill post it on here

The issue with the medichecks was the egfr , I dont know exactly what the result was from doctors but they said it all came back normal

Thanks for replies guys…

So answering you hilly –

The water retention seems fine or not as bad in the morning, but towards the end of the day I notice sock rings on my lower legs and for example if I sit on the toilet my trousers etc will leave marks on my shins…

I noticed this around 6 months ago deep into off season so just… Read more

Hi guys

Was having this discussion today, I’ve always noticed a slight increase in water retention in my lower body when using creatine..

Just wondered if this is common? Obviously there could be multiple other factors involved in this…

Hi guys

I’m not asking for source, just wondering what labs are doing decent legit halo at the moment?

Never used before (will be last couple weeks of my prep), so just want to try make sure I get a good one…

Thanks in advance 👍

As above guys just wondering what you guys recommend brand wise?

As my clen options lately have all been pretty poor?

Was recommend rohm clen, but haven’t felt a thing since using it….

Any recommendations be great 👍

Really? I’ve been using this and not been able to feel a thing…. no heart rate increase, no sweating, no anxiety , no hand shakes…

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has used the above?

I understand its a new product for rohm n just wondered if anyone has used it?

Thanks

The test e has crippled me of late? Switch to test C and had no issues

Thanks for reply hilly

Previously I was taking 8g from astrag flow, until I got the test since then I’ve been taking 2 servings a day, so that’ll be 16g astragalus now…

And yes test was done via medichecks – thanks for this, ill get one via the doctors ASAP…

For some reason it wouldnt let me reply to the comments individually…

Jamie – ill add in krill oil, must be only supp not on my supp shelf atm lol..

I usually do blood letting around every 3/4 months, however as my weight goes up so does my BP regardless… so I think mostly is bp related so ill look into options at getting… Read more

Hi guys sorry I made a few mistake here lol

Firstly – I meant LOW EGFR

Supps currently taking,
Litterally every health supp on the market in one way or another, supp needs, jp etc etc..

Test was taken on rest day (after a back day) around 6pm – not fastest obviously…

My blood pressure is on the higher side, around 140/80 which… Read more

hi guys

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for assisting with lowering eGFR?
Any supps etc?

Currently at the start of prep so body weight is coming off, cardio is in and currently using most of the current health stacks available

Thanks

Hi mate, have you used the Medicare Somatropin yourself?, if so how did you get on?
What do others that you know have used it say about it?
Thank you[/quote]
