    Hey Bud,

    This is very low naturally, no wonder you feel lethargic. But generally between mid to late 20’s and 30’s your natural Test levels will slowly decline. Especially with your current routine. There are definitely lifestyle changes that will naturally increase your testosterone without doubt. Also some supplementation additions. My advice for everyone regardless weather they need TRT or not would be:-

    Resistance training 3-4 times per week
    Alongside some cardiovascular fitness (I would prefer HIIT style) along with a daily step target

    Nutrition is key here…..Adequate protein 1-1.2g per lb of BW + carbohydrates to fuel performance and essential fats to support hormones/cholesterol

    try to eliminate unwanted stress, get plenty of sleep (routine is key)

    Supplementation:-

    Vitamin D3+k2 (TBJP)
    Omega 3 (TBJP)
    Multi vitamins + Zinc, magnesium, B vitamins (veggiemite/Halycon/dream sleep)
    creatine
    Turkesterone (TBJP)

    Stay away from Alcohol, processed food,

    This will 100% help……If you didn’t want to go down the route of TRT.

    To be honest this should be recommended to everyone. Who wants to live a healthy lifestyle.

    Re test bloods in 8-12 weeks of consistency – then make a decision on where they are if they are still below average it may be time to look at TRT

    looks like an ingrowing hair to me buddy. Your gland is underneath your nipple and potentially around slightly. But this doesn’t look like gyno to me…..

    Hey guys….

    Rest day today. 20 mins CV boxed off this morning. Then been for a sports massage with RNR as I was very tight and sore everywhere. After missing a week I can definitely tell. Now back to doing client check ins.

    Few other errands need sorting but there never seems to be enough time in the day!

    Pull and Hams on the cards today – favourite session of the week.

    333lbs on the nose this AM 2lbs down from yesterday. No cardio today just steps so 20 minute dog walk x 2 or 3 plus steps around the gym will knock that off.

    Nearly boxed my check ins off for the day. Have a couple more left to do which i will do in this afternoons block of work…

    Blood work was done yesterday with Eval 6th week into my cruise so will post the results when they come in and keep you guys up to date. If we need to extend this cruise for another couple of weeks we will! if not its time to turn it on and get peeled!

    Hey Buddy, I take it every night. I only take 2 caps though as 4 knocks me out! so 2 is a perfect dose for me.

    Hey Bud, We live and we learn.

    Most people on here will advise first cycle is test only 300mg/wk (work in mg’s not ml buddy) as dependant on the lab/ester the dosage could differ.

    potentially look at dropping down to a TRT dose 125/50mg/wk – then get bloodwork re assessed in 6-8 weeks/ Then go from there.

    taking into account that your nutrition, cardio/training and health supps are in order there won’t be too much to worry about. Just make sure you move forward sensibly.

    Morning guys,

    1st day of prep officially today! Cardio done, Check ins and dog walk to do, Then its off to get my bloods done with E-val blood analysis, then train push at Ultra flex!

    I was actually hungry yesterday on rest day food….weight is holding well at 335lbs every morning now.

    I don’t like to put numbers on things but if i can be peeled, at my most depleted at 285lbs that’s 50lbs down then i think fully loaded on stage 290-295lbs is there.

    For reference i dropped 47lbs last year from peak weight to lowest in prep. I am starting prep 25lbs heavier and tighter. which should translate to plenty of muscle added.

    Excited to get things moving along!

    April 28, 2022 at 8:48 pm in reply to: Caffeine

    This is generally what I have daily buddy. And I don’t think you need a break.

    The deeper I get into off season the less caffeine I consume. Some days maybe none. Some days maybe a coffee or half a scoop pre stim or prepare. This keeps me pretty sensitive. Then as the diet phase gets tougher and caffeine becomes a staple I still don’t need a lot to get a good response.

    Push and arms again today this one more delt focus. Still a little tendinitis issue so may have to switch a few exercises over the coming weeks to keep under control. Still having shockwave therapy. And it’s getting better but still caused a few issues today. So opted for an arm giant set which was actually really good.

    Check In day and leg day tomorrow! So off to bed for an early night! Now I’m in a good routine

    April 26, 2022 at 8:39 pm in reply to: Thoughts on starting pull with rear delts?

    Hi Bud,

    I wouldn’t be starting with Rear delts i would focus on getting strong with other movements as Jordan states.

    Either rear delts before direct trap work, i have also used the same method as rich states before and had rear delts in my push workout

    April 26, 2022 at 8:35 pm in reply to: Post covid

    If still feeling effects from Covid then I’d be looking at just getting back in with reduced volume and not to fail

    Hi Ben i would be looking at

    Upper
    Rest
    Lower
    rest
    repeat

    I would also be look at taking 1 set on compounds leaving 1-2 in the tank and isolation movements for 2 sets with the same principal.

    assess your recovery from there buddy
