Title: Thoughts on TRT
Post by: Master Blaster on January 02, 2018, 04:55:26 PM
So Joe Rogan has been on this since the age of 38!? WTF?

Any thoughts on TRT? Dosages? 200 every 2 weeks seems a little low.

What about heart health?

"We don't care about health Hearts, were Freaks!"    On a serious note, I wish I could have some TRT

Weed and TRT are both very safe if used properly.

Unless you have to conform to ‘set rules’ to sell yourself to the public like a whore because your not quite sure you’re doing everything right , don’t really improve but just ‘have your thing’.  - like an old farty trainer “fck the new shit and any change cause I know what worked in 79 “



Otherwise you’re are 100%

Not sure, I'm on Hrt, but haven't experienced and head/face growth, Rogan face and head are huge compared to his Fear Factor days that's for sure.

TRT is great but what happens is some folks go overboard and not stick with the protocol. 200-to-400mgs per week of Test Cypionate is fine for what it is supposed to do, but it's hard to not throw in some extra goodies like d-bol, deca, etc. That's when shit can begin to get fucked up in your blood tests and then you may have to go off for a period of time to get them back to normal. Nothing worse than being on for a number of years (which is what TRT is; no cycles) & then coming off cold turkey - especially when you're 50!

Yea, because you can't get hrt at 23 because there's an age limit.

And using anabolics & everything since age 17 (easily verifiable by anybody who's been on these boards since the 90s) wont cause a test level of <100 or hypothyroidism, and its impossible to get scripts for klonopin or god forbid blood pressure medication, right?

You fucking clowns make all these claims yet have never in all the years I've been here been able to back any of the shit up. Just embarras yourselves and return with new gimmick accounts

"Upper end of the normal range"

That's well beyond the upper end.

200mg every 2 weeks would put me at 1200-1400 a day or 2 after the shot and down in the 700s a day or 2 before my next shot

Going off "cold turkey" at 50 is really not a good idea Joe because it will send you into a free fall hormonally. You can normalize your numbers by dropping to true trt which is not usually 200mg's unless it's what ES described bi weekly.

Try 100mg and give your numbers a chance to settle/normalize and see where you are. If you need to drop more you can always do that.

Spent 5yrs in.

Never saw kalis vid.

I usually had a training partner aka let someone train with me.
 (young kids who didn't know shit. Have them rack weights n stuff) or by myself. I went in with about 10yrs training experience with 6 of it as a trainer. Training was typical bodybuilding or powerlifting. Non of the common "prison" garbage like " Champagnes" or "lawn mowers" or whatever the fuck those idiots called whatever exercises they were doing.

I fucken hated people asking how to train their "back arms" or how to get their "trapezoids" to Bunch up.

Wtf? Do you call your chest your front back or how about your front arms are your side body or whatever the fuck... "Back arms" smh... And " trapezoids"?? Fuckers usually never graduated high school much less took of geometry class... Where the fuck is a trapezoid on a anatomy chart?

We had full free weights, power racks a couple regular squat racks inmate made pulldown and seated row machines a legit leg press hack squat machine seated calf raise machine a piece of shit old school Smith machine inside that was only good for doing standing calf raises in, couple preacher benches a handful or more Olympic flat benches one Decline and 1 incline bench.. Etc... all that shit would be outside in a white Pit in the wreck yard during the summer months and would be moved inside to a weight room when the snow came. There were some brutal hot days 100°+ with 90+ humidity(was near a river)& some stupid cold days when the weights were outside.

Had powerlifting meets twice a year? Maybe 3x? Always in the inside weight room. Were some surprisingly strong guys there who'd do very well if they trained outside prison. 135-140lb kids with 400+ deadlifts (460+ actually) and guys 198-220 with 600+ deadlidts... Only a couple of us squatted 600+ though. Big benches were rarer.

Nobody else had experience with steroids except me and I was the only one in the entire system getting testosterone.  

Were some good physique as well. A few stand out. One kid who had hyperthyroidism and would take T4 to down-regulate his natural production of test of thyroid using voice text and I caught myself before it's taking testosterone and I'm too lazy to go back and change it so... Anyways this fucking kid was about 5 foot 10 and about a hundred and forty 9 or 152 lb and was fucking shredded like a mini white Chris Cormier physique except shredded year round. Didn't know a whole lot about training at first but eventually he got certified through issA while he was in. Lookin at him you'd guess him about 180. Never 140s.... other guy was a black guy coke dealer who looked like Bob Sapp's cousin no shit he also didn't know shit about training and wood bench press about 3 or 4 days a week and rarely if ever saw him do anything other than some chest and maybe some triceps sometimes or curls but still look like fucking Bob Sapp. A few others who just have good genetics that responded well to eating 3 meals a day that they probably weren't eating before they went to prison and giving their body some sort of stimulus for muscle growth that they most likely had never ever had in their life before going to prison

trt should be about bringing back daily T levels to upper yet physiological levels. its the only way

weekly or other injection protocols really are messing things up regardless

400/wk is no trt

This totally sucks what I did but I wanted to get my blood back to normal as soon as possible, even at the expense of the TRT benefits. I was going for elective surgery & that's when I made the call. Trying to reschedule so I can back on.

how did you get a prescription?
Title: Re: Thoughts on TRT
Post by: ESFitness on January 06, 2018, 10:39:55 PM
how did you get a prescription?

Likely the same way we all get our prescriptions. I need to do is go to your doctor and tell her you think your testosterone might be low.

Period.

That's all there is to it. He'll order of blood work and he might order an X-ray or CT scan to check for any pituitary tumors or any of that shit that might be causing low testosterone. If it comes back low, you get a prescription. And even if he chooses not to write the prescription all you got to do is go to another doctor change your doctor it's that simple and already have the blood work done from the previous doctor go to another doctor and tell them why you left the previous.. tell him fly out you wanted your testosterone checked came back low but the dr. Still don't want to write it so I could come into him now. That doctor will request medical records from the previous Dr and likely write the script.

You don't even need to tell him why you think you're low.

Some people seem to think that you shouldn't tell your doctor that you've been using steroids because it'll go on your permanent record down the line something bad will happen to you like the secret steroid Commission is going to deny you health insurance because of it. Nonsense.
