    Contest Log: Spring 2025 Transformation

    So I'm getting into this a little late, but will still have the full 12 weeks to get back to where I want to be. Poppy, Neuro and DirtNasty--thanks for the encouragement as always. Background: I'm a retired lawyer who now builds BMW race and performance engines for a living. I have lifted...

    I hit my highest bench in 25 years today!

    I’m an old fuck at 57, and when I was young, I could hit 335 for reps on bench. Since then, I have been unable to replicate anything close to that, being lucky to hit 305 for a single on occasion. But today for some inexplicable reason, I decided to max out on bench. Probably because most of the...

    Latest Labs!

    So after quite a while on 40-50mg Test Prop ED and 20-30mg of Mast Prop EOD alternating with 20-30mg of NPP ED, and 4iu HGH each night my latest bloodwork came out as follows: Total Test: 2200 Free Test: 752.4 Estradiol: 104 Hematocrit: 49.5 Progesterone: 1.3 Prolactin: 14.3 PSA: 1.74 EGFR: 65...

    A "Neurodiverse" Adds Wellbutrin to His "Cruise" Regimen...and Gives Up Alcohol Altogether...For Now

    Haven’t started a thread in a while, so thought I’d disclose a couple of things. I’m doing it in part because it’s cathartic–it just feels good to get it off your chest, as it were. But I’m also doing it because my situation may very well resonate with some or all of you. It’s not all that...

    Telmisartan @40mg ED for High Systolic BP

    During my cruise of 40mg Test Prop, 20mg Mast Prop, and 20mg of NPP ED, I have added 40mg of Telmisartan ED in divided doses morning and night. I initially did 20mg ED at the behest of @Neuro for longevity and general health, but my systolic BP is pretty regularly 131-145. According to the...

    Progress with Tiny Doses?! WTF?!

    Folks on here who know me know I have a fondness for, and a body that loves, very high doses of test et al. Like 150mg of Test Prop a day is just about perfection for me, particularly when combined with 100mg of Mast Prop and, if I’m really being wicked, 100mg of Tren Ace. But when I “cruise”...

    Telmisartan and Current Protocol

    So added Telmisartan at 20mg ED to my protocol yesterday, principally for general health and longevity, but also to put a little more of a damper on my systolic BP, which pretty regularly hits 140 even though my diastolic is usually in the 60s. Will add back in Glutathione once I figure out...

    Seeing Stars When You Lift Heavy

    Anyone here see “stars” after a particularly stressful heavy lift? Usually deads for me, but sometimes (like tonight) squats. Kind of like shooting stars streaking across your eyes for about 20 seconds or so after the lift.

    Exemestane: Wow, this shit works!

    I have always used Adex for E2 control with OK results. But I love higher doses of test, and my body responds well to them, but my E2 shot up to 172 recently, so I had to take some action. Crying over pictures of puppies on the internet while eating breakfast just don’t hunt. So I started...

    Intercostal Muscle Strain--I think

    So I’m doing decline bench yesterday after having done six wicked sets of cable push downs. I’m pushing 275 and trying to do 5x5, but it ain’t going so well, so I’m straining to do 3 or 4 and only got 5 reps in one set. Each of the others, I went all the way to failure and had to rack the bar...

    Tragic Old Friend Suicide

    So not board related, but I learned yesterday that one of my oldest and best friends committed suicide over the weekend after his wife of 25 years served him with divorce papers. Washed down a bottle of sleeping pills with hydrogen peroxide a/k/a bleach. His 20-something son found him and gave...

    HGH During the Day: Pre-Workout or Post-Workout?

    I’m on continuous HGH, 2.5iu each morning and each night, which I double during a serious cycle. It works well for me, with no bloating or tingling or any of the typical sides. Rather, I just seem to get leaner and leaner, which I dig big time because that is NOT my natural state (I was always...

    Heart Scan Results, including LVH

    So I have a horrible family history of premature coronary artery disease. Men in my family generally die in their early 60s from heart attacks without warning. Given that I’m only five or so years away from that witching hour, my doc and decided that I should have a CT coronary scan with...

    Scrotal Application of Transdermal DHEA--Really Working Well for Me

    I posted a while back the question of how many of you fuckers use DHEA, and interestingly, only a few of you even knew what it was, much less used it. @Kad1 is the only one I remember saying he used it regularly, and he mentioned he used it because it helped keep him mentally sharper. My TRT doc...

    DHEA: Uses on cycle and off

    Title says it all: Who here uses DHEA, in what form, and for what purpose? On cycle and/or off? My TRT doc prescribes sublingual troches at 25-50mg ED, split into two doses. I stopped taking them a while back because I didn’t think they were doing anything for me other than spiking my E2...

    Unprecedent DOMS After New Exercise

    So did a reasonably hard legs workout on Saturday, then did a “fluff and buff” chest workout yesterday, as part of which I performed a new exercise. As an alternative to squeezing octagonal DBs together and pressing them for chest work, I used a “V” grip on the Smith and laid down parallel to...

    Blood Work During Tapered Cruise

    So bloodwork came back today with a note that total test and free test were not run because “no adequate sample provided.” Ugh. Will have to re-run. E2 still at 99–same as it was four months ago, even though I’ve been running adex and DIM. No physical manifestations of high E2 though, perhaps...

    Laser Followed Up and Made it Right!

    As I had indicated in a previous post, with Laser seemed to go into a black hole with no response. Laser resurfaced last week and made it right. Stand up guy. Just wanted to report.

    Impact of NSAIDs on Injury Recovery

    As some of you know, I have a completely fucked up left shoulder, with three full-thickness rotator cuff tears that allegedly are inoperable. Only one rotator cuff, teres minor, intact. I also have moderate arthrosis in that shoulder, and they tell me that soon it will have to be replaced. They...

    Elbow Tendon Pain During Wide-Grip Curls

    Back and bi day yesterday, and I usually commence the “bi” portion of that with wide-grip easy-bar curls at 75-85 lbs. From the first rep, in tendon on the inside of my left elbow was screaming. After five abbreviated sets, I stopped further bi work. I tried an isolation DB curl and hurt so...
