Interested in his opinion on ipamorelin as well.
So why fuck with these chemicals?
At 18 I imagine with proper testosterone levels you can bodybuild pretty good.
You see all these issues guys have when they take these exogenous chemicals.
You talk about the affect of weed under the age 21 in a developing bodyā¦mmmm
how would you then structure an optimal off-season/prep to gain mass? letās say the offseason is from october-april (7 months), cut for contest 3 months (mens physique) in july = total 10 months, after that 3 months cruise till next october.
Iād be on for the whole time, but just with a moderate dose of test (500mg). Iām making consistent gains and can also hold the mass in the cut on that.
Would you rather say: just bulking for 4 months (october-january), then cruise till april and then again raise the dose for the cut?
Iām not willing to add in other compounds (other then mk677 which Iāll add soon), because I believe I can reach my goal with test only, no need to experiment with other AAS (also Iām getting everything from the pharmacy, other AAS would need to come from UGL).
Iām now on month 5 with 500mg, had bloods done this week and everything is still well (HK 0.48, LDL 68, HDL 46, CHOL/HDL 2.8, GGT 16, HBA1c 5,0, blood pressure 135/80, prolactin 11).
My E2 is 62, Iām on a small dose of arimidex (0.25e3d) to no let it get too high but still have a good level (as its also anabolic and I feel fine on that level), I sometimes feel a tingling sensations in my nipples if I skip the arimidex.
I do talk about it, but given that I donāt actually use marijuana (veeeeerrrrry rarely, not frequently enough to say that I do) Iām just speculating/ giving my opinion on the matter.
Simply because I believe having a legitimate prescription + monitering beats black market testosterone usage, as if something goes wrong I can easily say to a doctor āhey I was given these via prescriptionā. If I was using illigaly obtained testosterone and God forbid something actually went wrong it becomes very difficult to get treatment without my medical record becoming permanently tarnished.
Other than that Iād pick test over these chems any day.
And this is why there is an opioid crisis.

And if you āfoundā a doctor that is willing to give an 18 year old any peptideā¦I would not particularly trust his monitoring abilities.
@unreal24278 hey bud. If you reread your post,saying you have a Dr that would script ā¦etc , you have stated several reasons not to do it. You answered your own question.
Itās great the way you state the pros and cons. Cons win man in this case! But I know your question was for physio. So that my opinion.
My general belief is that a young man such as yourself should not take in any chemical unless absolutely necessary.
Thatās what I thought too
Off topic however the opiate crisis is spreading here to Aus too. (More and more people getting hooked on prescription painkillers). Codiene was recently (as in last year) made a scheduled drug (used to be OTC), that and innapropriate prescribing of pain medication was causing addiction (the OTC codiene was a huge issue though, kids my age would extract the codiene, isolating it from the paracetamol). Unfortunately dihydrocodeine is still available OTC here.
I think it needs to be scheduled ASAP.

Alright @physioLojik bud I could use some input. Have started getting tender nips, this is without any AI or nolvadex. There is no hard lumps just a bit sore pressing in. Iām using test and NPP. Should I through in some nolvadex for a few weeks ? I keep reading about how serms make things worse on 19 nors?. It seems a 50-50 split online. Or would I be better taking the posion ( Arimidex ) for a few weeks till it subsides. I donāt really want to go option 2. I feel great as I am, itās just a bit of tenderness I donāt want becoming something worse.
I ran this cycle for about 12 weeks and also got small lumps under my nipples. I ended up running about 40mg nolva/day. They never got any bigger and @physioLojik advised me they would dissipate after the NPP stopped. I kept up the nolva for about 3 weeks post blast and then stopped altogether. Lumps and tenderness are completely gone now.

Thatās for the input studhammer. This is only my second week of NPP shit kicks in quickly then. I used deca in the past a few times but never NPP. I popped 20mg nolva there now, see how it goes into next week at 40mg per day.
Watch out for ED. How much NPP are you running/week?
Iām running proviron with 500 test / 300 NPP. I was hoping the proviron was gonna be enough to get me through. Thatās the thing - my libido is through the roof and great erections. It hasnāt been this good in years. Did it get you towards the end ?
I should have run Masteron and of course I didnt. Regretting it still. Its going to be added to my next order and run low dose with my cruise.
I have some ordered for the tail end of this cycle in prop and I have tren ace sitting here. I just hope it doesnāt go all āTITSā up no pun intended lol. I think the reason this never happened last lot of years is because I have always run Arimidex at the beginning, but sure you know the side effects of that posion. Itās here for emergencyā¦ just hope I donāt have to use it.
Hey doc, had a question for you regarding my wife. Sheās been having metabolism issues for years, slowly building to the point where she is now. She is 5ā11", currently in the 230s (if she hasnāt gained more weight, not sure since I am overseas currently). She is very strict with her diet and really doesnāt eat much total calorie-wise, but if she deviates even a little she will gain weight very easily. Losing weight is basically impossible. She went through our PCP in late spring/early summer to have her thyroid checked, doc would only test TSH and T4 levels (she said insurance wouldnāt cover anything more unless an issue were identified). I had read up on this myself, so I ordered a full thyroid panel online. Her numbers were all within ānormalā range, though they were on the low end - T3 was barely within normal. Her thyroid antibodies (forget which one) were elevated a decent amount. I donāt have her lab numbers with me, so I am going off memory. PCP referred her to an endo, took from June-ish until mid-December before she was able to be seen. Endo seemed very unimpressed with her symptoms, didnāt seem like she could be bothered to help at all, put her on T4 and scheduled a follow up. She saw no improvement on the T4, however when she first got the prescription we (she and I) had a little miscommunication and she took some T3 I had thinking they were the same drug while waiting for her T4 prescription. She took the T3 for almost two weeks before I realized her scrip was for T4 and not T3 (again, I was overseas going off what she was reading to me over the phone with her dyslexia).
She saw almost immediate results in symptoms while on the T3, but I told her to stop and take the T4 since that was the scrip (and I didnāt have much anyway - it was maybe 30 tabs for free when I ordered something else). She has seen no improvement whatsoever on the T4. She had her follow-up with the endo today (just a little while ago in fact), and I pre-loaded her with asking for a T3 scrip by talking about conversion issues, etc. (as did a PA friend of ours) Endo told her āwe donāt prescribe T3 any more, unless youāre basically having so many issues that youāre in the hospital alreadyā. Is that true? Iām thinking itās not, seems like a dumb way to practice medicine.
So to sum up, endo threw T4 at her (didnāt work), refused to even try T3, and completely dismissed her labs that showed elevated thyroid antibodies. At this follow up they took more blood, but she told her they are only going to test TSH, T3, and T4. She (the doc) also told her at the first appointment she didnāt think there was anything wrong with her thyroid, and that if the T4 didnāt help she was going to turf her to a rheumatologist.
Any thoughts on all this? Recommendations?
@boatguy good lord. I only script nature or armour thyroid (both t3 and t4). Thatās the dumbest shit Iāve heard.
How are her periods? Emotionally tough and heavy bleeding? Is her body fat primarily central
In youāre opinion, dr sir. Why are such protocols still practiced in medicine (T4 only prescriptions, inadequate testing etc). The same question can pertain to the field of TRT, in Aus unless you have a TT of below 170ng/dl, you aināt getting replacement (from a non-private doc), and even if you do, itās typically a gel, a shot e3w or nothing. Is the reasoning behind these practices because the issues stemming from hypothyroidism (aside from myxedema) and hypogonadism arenāt acutely life threatening and thus not much attention is payed to said issues? Other hormonal problems unfortunately also go largely undiagnosed esp with regard to adrenals, thyroid and testicular, hence why I want to be an endocrinologist, I reckon unreal24278 could help a lot of people and that might give his life purpose/meaning (at least he hopes it does). @physioLojik
