Are you contemplating further enhancement?

Welcome.

Welcome to the best community bro!

Thanks! I’m trying to fix the imbalance in my left lat. but I’ve always loved barbell rows and close grip seated rows.

 

[Petewm]

Yes but I want to figure out my lowest affective dose. I’m going to run 300mg a week and increase slowly to find how much I can tolerate without an IA. Trying to get the most out of the least and want to try out primo down the line!

Smart

How often does your doc test your “T” levels?

I ask because I’m on scripted trt and I get very little thru insurance. I supplement a small amount with ugl stuff. My doc doesn’t want me at or above 1000 blood levels. Soooo I have to take a month or so hiatus from my pinning to keep my levels down for labs.

You’re young and your levels should be thru the roof anyways. Just curious as to your current levels and what doc says.

 

[Petewm]

I use a TRT clinic. I’m sure if you’ve been on YouTube for a while you’ll know the clinic. They use a compounding pharmacy and I don’t use insurance. It’s expensive but they are super knowledgeable and willing to work with you. I expressed wanting to do a mini blast in the future and they were cool with it and made some recommendations for best practices.

 

[Petewm]

They test every 6 months. My next is in 3 months. Last test had me at 1300ngdl on 150 a week.

 

[Poppy]

I understand. Sounds like a forward thinking clinic. Good for you.

My youngest daughter works in a vault inside of a fortress compounding. The company she works for only sells to pharmacies.

Get after it brother…

 

[Petewm]

Yes sir! How can I get clearance to see all the posts?

 

[Poppy]

Hmmmmm. Maybe once you’ve reached a certain post count…

@TG I can’t answer his question about seeing all the posts.

 

[Petewm]

Got it, thanks man.

 

[Petewm]

I know long time not post but wanted to give you an update to this question. I was transparent with my doctor and told him I wanted to do a mini blast (300-500mg test and possibly 200-400mg primo on top). He was super open to the idea as long i followed his guidance/requests.
1.Blood work before, during, and after.
2. Get a blood pressure monitor and test in the AM and PM.
3. Start taking an ARB/Satin or have some on hand.

He’s been awesome and it feels good to talk to someone that won’t just shoot you down. Now all I need to do is find some quality Primo and extra test.

 

[Poppy]

Roll with it!!

 

[Poppy]

Keep us posted?

 

[Petewm]

Will do!! Been doing research on our sponsors and think I found one I want to try. You and a few veterans of UG mentioned good things about them so I’ll try them out.

I’ve been on this for a couple of months due to @NeuroRN recommendation and it’s everything it’s supposed to be.

Telmisartan is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly.Feb 1, 2022

I’m a bp geek. I’ve tested mine before/after/during heavy training conditioning coffee meals snacks etc etc. hahaha

I have throttled back to once or twice a week.

I also made the mistake of not pinning enough primo weekly to get all the benefits. My experience is I should have gone with 400mg a week. I ended up there but lost some time in the beginning.

Heard! I know Primo can effect E2 so I’ll have to play around with it and not crash my E2. I love the idea of “dry” compounds. Planning on going with Omega.
I appreciate the support and knowledge.
