Hey gang - First cycle ever. Test only 12-week cycle, 500 TestC per week split into 250 Sunday AM, and 250 Wednesday PM. Test results taken Wednesday prior to next pin. Just got my bloodwork done at 4.5 weeks in. Test is 3590, but my Estradiol is also high -- 47.3. Had been taking .5...

I've got a guess why the OP is asking -- price. Some TRT clinics charge quite a bit and do not accept insurance. These are the clinics that will give you HRT when most doctors would not and operate right on the edge of generally accepted medical practices. You are getting doctor prescribed...

You want to inject on the side, right in the meaty part -- a google image search for "delt injection" brings up some nice pics. When you are finished, make sure that you remove the needle nice and straight like you went it. Since you'll have the opposing arm doing the work while reaching...

Thanks for the feedback. To clarify what I was trying to ask: If you remember when you first started training -- for example you could squat 5x5 Mon, Wed and Friday and probably add weight each time. Those days are long gone -- but was thinking that the added recovery and strength building...

Hey gang -- soliciting some opinions from those that have been there. I'm starting my first cycle ever -- 500 TestC /wk @ 12 weeks. Goal is increased strength, less concerned with "improving my looks." For a first cycle would it be wise to switch to a linear progression program? A linear...

Sorry , I did not intend to be an alarmest with my response -- blood *in* the stool .. think thick & tarry (do not google pics near mealtime, srsly) is different than blood just coming out which would generally not indicate something so severe.

Yikes. Get that checked out. Blood in the stool can be for many reasons including kidney failure and cirrhosis of the liver -- hopefully it is nothing this serious.

I'm in the same boat as the OP, doing my planning and research for my first cycle. I'd say you've come to a good place -- in addition to members actually linking to actual information you'll also get some first-hand experiences. While my head is swimming a bit from all the info I've been...

So, that's the difficulty. It all depends on the physician -- some will find you in the "normal" range and opt for no action. If you have a good, understanding doc they may be willing to bring you up to a more ideal level based upon your activities and goals. Speaking from my own experience...
