Apparently there are two schools of HRT therapy. One school treats lab values and the other obviously goes more after the subjective feeling of the patient. The subjective docs work at clinics that prescribe easily, with little labwork, and make their living from "wellness." Go figure. I mean actual endocrinologists usually look for pituitary tumors before prescribing test in the first place. But from what I've seen the liberal docs still look at lab values, it's not entirely subjective. For example, I saw on Facebook patients saying a certain doc allowed their patients to reach about 1300 (when accepted normal ranges are about 300-900 to a 1000mg) if that is where they feel their best. I would say bhank is wrong about true HRT, it's not that subjective, it would be extremely rare anyone is prescribed 500mg by a "serious" doc. But I'm told there are isolated cases when someone required 500mg to reach normal range.
I would say the 500mg docs are not true HRT at heart. They like to create a "suprahysiological man." Today when you look at people in the media, the people we are told are most attractive and most beautiful are largely artificial creations. The action men do not have normal levels of musculature and both the women and men are on GH and plastic surgery.
Is bhank endangering his life and denying what he is actually doing? How could I criticize him when I'm doing the same at the same age? But people here aren't just critical because they hate bodybuilding and bodybuilders or hormones, it's him being so cocky and unwilling to admit to anything negative. And sure, the few lifetime naturals and 50+ year old "not on since their 20s and no HRT" get their digs in. I can understand being pissed off the attitude but is what he is doing so crazy? I think he alternates between liberal HRT and light cycles. That's fine by me but there's still time to drop to true HRT at a later age. But sure, it might be a bit hypocritical and delusional of me since I'm doing the same.
As far as his physique, it's not bad at all considering his genetic muscle bellies and his handicaps. The size is more than it looks. I believe his bodyweight claims.The genetically gifted bodybuilders, the only ones who are responding to anabolics at all according to some here are the bodybuilders joswift and wes etc post. The ones who weigh way less than they look. If every weight lifter, juicer and recreational bodybuilder competed you would see the true average which I believe is way lower than many here assume. Most of us look like shit and should never be photographed or mentioned in connection to bodybuilding.
hanky's test levels were off the charts without supplementation. His words. He was clean for months and was over 1500.
That is correct, there is legit TRT and "clinics" who you can buy whatever you want. Just like the pill mills that sell narcotics if you have money.
That's the point, having an Endo prescribe you Test because you need it. My Endo runs a gambit of tests on me every 6 months, and that is just for 100mg of Test a week. Real TRT. There is no such thing as TRT in the 500mg range. That's a full cycle for building muscle. No benefit to having levels that high unless you are trying to get big and strong.
hanky admitted he stopped doing legit TRT because he was tired of the testing required by his Doctor. Now he just pays for a script so he can avoid legal problems. He's laid it all out for us and forgets we all aren't retards like him and remember things.
He's paying for steroids at a "clinic" that isn't treating an illness.
I don't care what he does, it's his body, but he should be honest as some people might learn a thing or two.
He is bypassing the legal ramifications by not buying on the black market, which is a good idea.
He is not consulting a Doctor for health reasons, he's paying for steroids to gain muscle mass.
Just wish he would tell the truth.
There are a lot of things people can learn
not to do from hanky.
