Just got blood results back after 16wks (daily injections) at 160mg/wk Test Cyp increasing to 200mg/wk for the last 6wks.
All results seem good except for the iron results.
Summary below with result before then end of cycle (day of last injection):

Before / end
Test – 35.4 / 87.5 nmol/L
Hgb – 160 / 172 g/L
HCT – 46.7 / 50.6 %

First ‘TRT+’ stint with 16wks (daily injections) at 160mg/wk Test Cyp increasing to 200mg/wk for the last 6wks. I’ve put on 7kg and seemingly not a lot less lean, so quite the success.
Total test has just come back at 87nmol/L. I have TRT blood test start of June, so levels need to be at/around 30nmol/L by then.
I was thinking to go 2 weeks… Read more

I was intrigued about accuracy of finger prick tests. At last bloods I had full panel venous and for my interest I also did a finger prick the same morning to compare the results. Finger prick at 7am, blood drawn at 9:30am.

Results were (venous/finger prick):
Albumin: 43 / 39
SHBG: 43.8 / 44
E2: 112 / 116
Test: 47.6 / 43.8
Free Test: 1.06… Read more

Most Reta cycles seem to be 12wks and upwards. I ran for 14wks previously and had great results. I was wondering if any one had done shorter, say 6-8wks, or whether the half life would mean it was only just reaching peak at 6ish weeks so you’d be stopping just when things were getting going? Goal here being a little tidy up rather than a big cut.

Hopefully not a stupid question.
I had been doing twice weekly prescribed trt injections splitting 100mg test cyp, which put me at 47nmol total test, trough value. This was consistent for months and a number of blood tests.
I wanted to boost things a bit so in dec in addition to the 100mg prescribed test Cyp I added in 60mg Rohm Enan.
I… Read more

On an old podcast with dr dean I heard him use the term ‘slow metaboliser’ for someone who sees a higher than average total test reading from a modest dose. I think that I fit that description, with 100mg/wk test Cyp giving 47.6nmol/l at trough.
My question is about what this really means for me, namely for future increases in doses… Read more

I was wondering what the recommended sources are for info on peptides. Obviously ChatGPT can spit out seemingly good detail, but being that it is just compiling what is written all over the internet, I tend to take with a pinch of salt, certainly until I have more of an understanding myself in place already.
I know the forums here are good… Read more

I have been on prescribed trt for about 9mon. 80mg/wk test Cyp puts me at 27.8 total test, and 100mg/wk puts me at 47.6.
I recently bumped up to 200mg/wk for the last 3 weeks (by adding in 2 extra small shots of Rohm Enan).
I have started to feel itchy/sore nips, kind of a constant awareness of a feeling there. No lumps currently. I have… Read more

Thanks guys. Makes sense and in line with what I’d expected to hear.

So I think I will move biceps and triceps isolation, and calves to the back end on the basis that they will get worked on other exercises; and I can do the isolation if time permits.

How does the setup in the attached pic look? Going alternate between heavy upper light… Read more

I know there seem to be endless questions on FBEOD, but I can’t see this covered when searching.
I have watched the tutorial vids a few times and have bought in to the philosophy and want to train this way.
I have some questions on compromises to the scheme:
1. I train at home. I have a reasonable setup but obviously not the same options… Read more

Not a question, but thought I’d write a quick post about what I’ve done and noticed with Reta. Might be of interest to some but no worries if not. Feel free to point out any mistakes, then it might help others not to make the same ones!
I was interested to try Reta for its potential LDL lowering as mine has been historically too high. It… Read more

I’ve been taking Serranatto+ from supplement needs which has lowered my hematocrit nicely. It directed use on empty stomach.
Swapping now to Heart Care (higher dose of nattokinase). The directions on Heart Care don’t state empty stomach, and there is mixed info online relating to best timing for Nattokinase. Not sure if I’m best to take on… Read more

It looks like the majority of coaches on here seem to focus on serious bodybuilding prep and subsequent competing, where their knowledge is really needed.
I don’t really need this level of support, so was wondering if anyone was offering more of a lifestyle / helicopter view type role – Basically a more personalised and focussed effort than… Read more

MY TRT dose of 100mg/wk test cyp causes a trough test level of ~1300ng/dl (which I think is a pretty ‘good’ response to the low dose). However I have high SHBG of 65nmol/l, so the free test is only at 22.4ng/dl. The simpleton in me would think that lowering SHBG should be beneficial to free up more of the total test, to get the most out of my… Read more

This might be a stupid question, but I’m wondering about dosing for omega 3’s. I note that the serving size for Oh Mega is 6g, which is double what other omega 3s on the market (supp needs, bulk, etc.) seem to be, which is the dosing I’ve always followed. Are there any rules of thumb on target dosing e.g. per kg body weight or anything like that?

Thanks for the feedback!

So I’ll carry on with the fat loss, and give the tbjp health stack pack a try and see how bloods look on retest. If LDL is still not in range then at least I know I’ve tried before starting on a statin!

Hi All. I’d appreciate some advice on my trt blood results…
A bit about me – 40yr old male. Was suffering from the advertised ‘low test symptoms’ (brain fog, lack of gym progress, less morning wood) so got tested (private not nhs), finger prick (Jan 25) then venous (Feb 25). Results showed low test so proceeded with TRT at 100mg cyp per… Read more
