    :fingerscrossed: I hope all goes well.


    I am about ready to start work with a new company. So far they aren’t making us do it. We’ll see what happens.

    Not gonna lie I’ve considered starting. Its the only way I can do my lifting and running and still get adequate recovery.

    Report back if you start.

    I hear that there’s a good chance your body will not go back to natural T production if you go on TRT. Kinda scary

    Yeah but then again if you’re getting older then your natural T is slowing down anyway. I also don’t plan on blasting it like crazy as well.

    My only advice is do as little as you can get away with.

    And I don’t know what y’all are talking about with your vaccine stuff. Both doses, no pain, no sickness, no autism. Only awesomeness

    And that’s the plan. Wife is gonna keep me in check as well but I just want something to help with my recovery and energy at this point. My nutrition isn’t bad and I get as much sleep as life allows. So this is just a little extra to help. Not a cure or a miracle thing

    I’m not going to say it can’t happen... But I think it really depends on how long and how much you are using. I know at least 15-20ish guys (most 30-35 in age) that have tried it for about a year or so before stopping and all of them have said their level are back to normal with no issues. As long as you run a PCT cycle after getting off T to get your natural levels back up it doesn’t seem to have any residual effects.

    Good. Without sounding like a dick, a lot of guys who are “late” to lifting use gear to make up time. It is a recipe for bad outcomes. Watch your blood panels and take care of your tendons…strength gains happen faster than your tendons can adapt at first :)

    and because you were moaning about shots, cyp is the longest lasting ester ;)

    I know a lot of folks who had bad reactions to the vaccine.

    Its more likely to have a bad experience with shot 2 if you’ve had covid.

    I’ve been sick for 9 weeks. I had RSV in Sept with a breathing treatment, then got better for 4 days to get covid.
    I’m tired of not being able to breathe. I don’t need to be ill anymore even if its for a few days post shot.

    My biggest deal with the vaccine is efficacy.
