I work outside so the sunlight is good, I have to admit I don't know what sperti is( I will look into it) I wear blue light blockers, I will look into a micronutrients diet.

Jamie, download the Cronometer app and enter your foods, one of the tabs will show you how you’re doing regarding micronutrients

Confirm you are getting adequate selenium & iodine as these support thyroid which tends to down regulate when you diet for long periods

I will look into the app and the selenium and iodine. Thank you

Are there legitimate “Health risk” to nicotine consumption or is that a meme?

Expand full comment

Of course there are health risks to consuming a CNS stimulant haha. I still do it, but I'm not gonna pretend like it's good for my cardiovascular health

All CNS stimulates are bad for the health? Damn

2 pounds of ground beef daily for my bulk (grass Fed) is this alright or bad idea (iron overload)?

Expand full comment

Yeah that's not ideal bro. Too much iron and saturated fat at the very least. Would work well for building muscle and being budget friendly, but not a great idea if you have health in mind, which you should!

Hey man, are there any downsides to not eating 1 day per week on a bulk? Even if my total weekly calories are about 10% above maintenance?

Thanks!

Expand full comment

Yeah, it's not ideal for muscle gain! If that's the only thing that works for you and you can stick to it, should be fine though.

Thanks mate

I take 400mg of l-theanine

1.6g of glycinate

800mg of mag taurate

Magnolia bark

Tryptophan 1000mg

6mg of melatonin

Per night for sleep, are there any negatives I need to be worried about from doing this on a daily basis? This stack has increased my deep sleep, lessened my awake time in the middle of the night and I no longer have bouts of insomnia.

Looks like a good daily stack to me

hCG is known for being prone to degradation and some UGLs sell hCG with 15k iu per vial. Is there any point in getting hCG vials like this and how do you deal with hCG degradation? I imagine even with 5k iu vials it can be a problem.

Expand full comment

At around 30 days it should be around 85-90% in tact, although there isn't a lot of data to confirm.

Its best practice to toss after 30 days, but I have continued to use and just upped by 10% and didn't notice any issues. Not medical advice obviously. 2k to 5k iu vials are best unless blasting hcg for fertility purposes and using the higher doses like 1000+ iu eod

If you listen to the Vigorous Steve deep dive on hCG (posted on his yt channel on 7/8/24) towards the end he discusses preloading insulin syringes with the hCG dose and freezing. There are also some differences between recombinant hCG and urine-extracted hCG. If I remember right he said the recombinant does not degrade as quick or the purity is higher so any slight degradation in quality at 30 days is comparable or better than fresher urine-extracted hCG.

Hey my man,

Was wondering if DHT gel can be used as an add on to your cock growth protocol.

If so, at what dose and what frequency?

Cheers

Expand full comment

Yeah topical DHT in a LOW DOSE cream like 2.5% andractim can enhance eggplant size. The 20% DMSO "gels"? Absolutely not, will burn the shit out of your skin and is toxic. Wouldn't put that anywhere let alone on my eggplant

Awesome, TY

I have thyroid hormone at the lower end of the reference range and marek health wants me to take a combination of T3/T4. The price of this is $570 for a 3 month supply. Could I just take t4 Synthroid? This would be way cheaper. Maybe test my levels after a month of Synthroid?

I have a fully equipped home gym, power rack bench all the necessities. I'm looking to add 1 specialty piece for back and 1 for legs. In your opinion what would be the best piece of equipment for each muscle group?

Expand full comment

My mom suffers from fibromyalgia. She's 50, been working a stay at home job the past few years that's help her manage. She was let go a few months back and now has a job that'll require her to go back into an office. Any recommendations on supplements she can use to help her out?

Would l-carnitine + the uncoupling from BSO or aspirin work together to burn more fat? Carnitine brings fatty acids into the mitochondria and the uncoupling makes the mitochondria burn more energy

How long would Cardarine show up on a drug test for?

WADA? bout 4-6 weeks

Bro i'm really curious about your thoughts on this. There's no proof, but do you think RU58841 could cause symptoms like PFS? I used it about 6-7 years ago during university when my hair loss was really bad. I just learned that it works by binding to DHT receptors. I know two people who had arrhythmia symptoms similar to mine, and their heart scans were normal. Both of them had very low androgen levels at some point. I never checked my levels when my symptoms were at their worst, but I wonder if this could have caused my issues too.

Expand full comment

It could downregulate androgen receptors in the short term, but what does that have to do with arrhythmias? Not sure what the question is.

Expand full comment

When searching for RU side effects, heart issues (chest pain, palpitations, and, much less commonly, heart failure) stand out a lot. I forgot to mention this

Before blood test is there anything special that you suggest doing/not doing for more accurate results?For example, I heard someone say it's better to have no supplements and weight training 2-3 days before.

Expand full comment

Depends on the blood test. Stop biotin supplementation before any hormonal immunoassay, don't eat for 8 hours before fasted tests, don't have stimulants before cortisol test.

Expand full comment

This is mainly for hormones and basic markers that you suggested

T= 660 ng/dL

E2= 140 pmol/L

Free T= 0.356 nmol/L

Free T % = 1.56 (Low)

LH= 9.5 U/L (High)

All the symptoms of low T,bad sleep,no libido,grumpy mood etc.

Started TRT at 50mg testosterone enanthate 1x per week and I get bloated at that dose or the ones above.

Is it better to go Proviron route,increasing free T?Any suggestions?

Expand full comment

50mg testosterone per week? Bro? what?

I have a hard time believing any doctor prescribed that low of a dose 1x per week. Are you self prescribing? No wonder you feel like shit. Did you not read my testosterone guide at all?

Read it.

Expand full comment

I read all the guides.

I was prescribed 25mg daily cream (injections illegal where I live).Got all the side effects from bloating to bad sleep,feeling overwhelmed etc.,that is why I started testing various doses.

Found testo enanthate online,tinkered a bit and the 50mg/week is some sort of the upper limit I feel good at but still no libido back.
