    I went and had a blood panel done a while back. My T was a little below average. Doc recommended I get on it. But I don’t have any symptoms of low T (I have a very healthy sex drive, lots of energy, and am generally a motivated and hard worker). My bloodwork also showed evidence of high stress levels and a poor sleep routine.

    I told him I’d rather work on getting better sleep and dealing with the stress issues, and if I start showing any signs of low T, maybe we can talk.

    I’m lifting heavy, eating a lot of protein, and sleeping more. I feel great. I will see what my levels are at in another 6 months or so. I’m just not comfortable with a lifetime pharma script if I don’t need it, and he seemed a little too quick to recommend it, to be honest.

    Too many docs get money for recommending and prescribing stuff. Not a stretch to see how that can skew their motivation from the patient's physical health to their own financial health.

    Nah gonna fall right on my ass on that one. Our oldest was helping me off the couch today and said 123 super quick. I about ate shit and yelled at her for that one. It’s so odd how your shoulder (nerves/tissue) control much more than just your arm and shoulder for said side. I literally am walking around like my knees were just operated on

    Always let the one being helped do the count. It's not always easy to just be support and not try to "help" or "fix" the situation. Especially for younger folks. They are a bit more brash.

    Not surprised that it's slowing you down a bit. The ability to roll the shoulder and move the arms is part of a normal human gait. When that aspect is disrupted it throws it all off. It's all the little things that we don't do consciously that are out of whack, so nothing feels natural or normal.

    Not wrong. For example, my left bicep is slightly (prob won’t even measure a difference) slightly bigger than my right bicep. My left quad is slightly bigger than my right, at least when I see it lol

    Once you’re on, you’re on. There’s no going back. My body literally stopped producing test. They tried HCG, but it wouldn’t kick up again. Like I said before, everyone’s “optimal level” is different. 350 shows me in “normal range” ok it doesn’t take into account my lifestyle. 350 I don’t feel optimal. I feel much better at around the 1k range lol

    I was in my 20’s when i wanted to be on (of course). I think he finally scripted me in my late 20’s when everything they tried was not working.

    Yes but to grab one’s hand and quickly say 1,2,3. I needed to grab the couch first with my right to help push off …and wearing socks on wooden floors doesn’t help lol

    I’m usually up around 530 for the gym. Sleeping in tmrw and going to do some super light leg work to keep the blood moving (doc said I can. He wants zero intensity so my body can focus on healing the shoulder). The wife is going with me to babysit that. What I have lined up, I can prob do in 15-20 mins. It’ll take me 2-3x as long tmrw it’s just basic crap

    Right, I'm saying she should have had you do the count. That way you're in control. It's a good lesson for her to learn with her Dad instead of a stranger.

    In a couple days you should be able to get it wet, and then you can get in a pool. It'll be a good way to get some exercise with low risk of injury. Not sure how much you like pools, though. I hate them.

    Ah, sorry man. I misread that. With the wife I’ll say on 3, and she’s pulling me (not hard, but just enough to cut out the slack) and tries to stay in spot so I can get up to it.
    Oh for sure. She’s going to learn anyway. She’s on path to be a pediatric and I think has to do CNA clinical this year..I think. She’s going to see the dirty shit before ah d and learn to care for patients

    Wow you got on early. I totally get it for your situation. I wasn’t that low. Never have felt the need, but I decided to get this bloodwork when I started getting serious about my fitness.

    It seems way too many guys are on it just to “optimize”. They didn’t necessarily need it, and they’re treating it like a microdose steroid cycle.

    Seems risky to me if one doesn’t have legit issues like you did.

    I think we can remove them Monday evening..I think. I’m too lazy to look at the after care instructions. I just sent a message to the surgeon asking this.

    No worries. I figured it was just not coming through the way I meant it.

    I have to help my Mom quite a bit, and I've learned the best thing I can do is be an anchor for her to hold onto until she is actually coming up off the chair, and then I move/pull to keep her in a steady rise. If I yank her up I'd tear her skin or pull her joints out of place.

    Don't do public. You gotta have buddies or neighbors that would let you hang in the pool for an hour or two.

    Everything in life is a risk. These young kids need to get as lean muscle as they can and then explore it if needed. Too many just see IG and say fuck it in doing it and they just listen to the advice of some influencer, instead of someone who knows wtf they are doing. Kids will blast for a year instead of giving ur body a break and just cruising after 12-16 weeks. They then overtake every compound and buy cheap shit and when it’s not effective, because it’s under dosed, they then blast it more and fuck up all of their health markers.

    Yep. Keep doing the exact way you described it. It’s a lot more helpful than you know unless you’re in that spot. Getting up by myself to pee is a challenge and takes me a few mins
