Hi all

I’ve just had my bloods back and decided I’m going to start TRT. I’ve spent the last few years trying to optimise naturally (training, diet, sleep all dialled in), but I still feel pretty flat.

I’m 38, 5’10, train consistently and relatively lean.

On paper my testosterone looks good, but my SHBG is on the higher side and seems to be… Read more

Hi guys.

I posted in the health forum but could be more relevant here.

I have received the below bloods back and decided I’m going to start test following trying to optimise my hormones for a few years and still feel flat. I’m 38, trained for several years and diet/ sleep all dialled in and relatively lean.

My test results appear good apart… Read more

Hi guys.

Would appreciate your thoughts on how to optimise my test levels.

I’m 38 and currently 160lbs and around 15% bodyfat. I have been feeling low test symptoms for a while now and considered TRT so had some blood tests done.

Although my free test has gone up, my SHBG has also gone up significantly since my last test done June 2025. My… Read more

Guys,

Previously I have used Medichecks; however, which providers are people using for their Bloodwork tests?

Cheers.

Guys, been using 0.25mg daily and it has absolutely crushed my appetite to the point where I could go all day without eating and have to force food; this stuff doesn’t mess around.

Obviously the answer is to try it out and see, but would it be better to go to 0.25mg EOD, or 0.5mg twice per week.

Is there a chance that micro dosing daily can… Read more

Hi All,

I am purchasing GHK-CU 50mg and SLU PP 300mcg capsules from PP.

The GHK is to for general vanity (no shame) and I’m hoping the SLU assists with fat loss etc and gives me some edge in a deficit to make me look leaner quicker.

I’m not currently assisted and new to the peptide world.

Can I get some advice on “how to prepare… Read more

Guys,

I’m 37 and had my hormones checked and have come back normal but not optimal. However, got to a point in my life where I want to feel and look better and optimise the way I feel/ perform.

I’m natural and been training for 8 years. I am considering peptides, and potentially 150mg test per week.

If I was to stick to peptides, would… Read more
