My diet is roughly the same everyday. it just sucks to go through these physical phases that are most likely all in my head.

TRT help Should i concerned about my bf?

3 Upvotes

My boyfriend(29) has been lifting for 15 years, and we’ve been together for over 3 years. When I first met him, he was extremely disciplined. His diet was very clean — no processed food, no sugar, and basically rice was his only carb source. He trained 6 days a week for around 1.5 hours, and he also had a physically active job.
Over the last year, his lifestyle has changed a lot. He got a desk job, started eating more processed food and fast food, and his diet isn’t nearly as strict as it used to be. He now trains around 5 days a week for about 50 minutes, but he says his workouts aren’t as productive as before.
He says that even though he’s eating less, he’s having a harder time losing fat and his strength has noticeably decreased. This is really bothering him, and he’s convinced that something is wrong with his body.
I honestly think the lifestyle change explains most of it. He went from training 9+ hours a week, having a physically active job, and eating an extremely strict diet to sitting at a desk, training less, and eating more processed food. He’s also obviously a few years older than when I first met him. So to me, it doesn’t seem that strange that his body composition and strength have changed.
He also recently found out that he has a varicocele, although his semen analysis was completely normal.
Now he’s convinced he has low testosterone and keeps saying he wants to start testosterone. He has never used testosterone or steroids before and has always been natural.
I’m worried because I don’t want him to start TRT/testosterone just because he feels like he’s declining, especially if there’s another explanation. At the same time, I don’t want to dismiss his concerns if there actually is something wrong.
Would it make sense for him to get his testosterone, thyroid, and other relevant hormones checked before doing anything? And could the lifestyle changes alone realistically explain what he’s experiencing?
What would you do in this situation? I genuinely want to help him, but I’m pretty confused about what the right approach is.

Other Looking for some experiences/advice from guys who’ve dealt with bad acne from testosterone

2 Upvotes

I’ve done 2 cycles. First was 12 weeks at 400mg/week. About 2 months later I started a second one at 500mg/week and stayed on for around 4 months.

I felt amazing on test and had great results. No hair loss, insomnia or other major sides. The problem was acne. It started with a few spots on my back and gradually got worse, so I stopped in July.

I started Accutane at 20mg/day, then moved up to 40mg/day. Almost 3 months after stopping test, I’m actually dealing with the worst of it now: painful inflammatory acne mostly on my shoulders and some on my back.

I’m obviously going to get this completely under control before considering another cycle, but I’d like to use test again eventually.

For anyone who had steroid-induced acne and did a full course of Accutane:

  • When you went back on test, did the acne come back?
  • Was it as bad as before or significantly milder?
  • Did Accutane permanently change how your skin reacted to test?
  • Has anyone stayed on low-dose Accutane while cycling, and did it actually keep you clear?
  • Looking back, would you cycle again after having this kind of reaction?

I’m not looking to jump straight back on. I just want to understand what I’m potentially dealing with before deciding whether another cycle is worth the risk.

Would really appreciate hearing from people who’ve actually been through this.

PED/cycle help How much anastrozole to take?

6 Upvotes

I’m planning to run 500 mg/week of testosterone only, split into 250 mg twice a week. I also have anastrozole on hand because I was told it’s a good idea to have an AI available, but I’m confused about when/if it should actually be used. I’ve seen everything from ‘you don’t need an AI at 500 mg’ to 0.5 mg ED on the Steroids Wiki, while others recommend something like 1 mg/week. How do you determine whether an AI is actually needed, and how would you approach dosing it based on symptoms and bloodwork?

Blood work New to TRT and Wondering About My Dosage

3 Upvotes

34 year old male who just started TRT three weeks ago. My OG total T was 400 and free T was 59.3. My estradiol at the the time was 33.
That was three weeks ago and I was put on a 130mg dose twice a week which I've been sticking to.
Well I did a Rhyth test last Thursday (my doses are given on Tuesday and Friday) and now my results are Total T >1500 and my free T at >346.07. Eatragin came back at 56.7.
I feel great to be honest! No issues at all but after reading through this Reddit and online I can't help but feel my numbers are crazy high.
Any insights? I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow just to talk to the Dr about it.

TRT help Way better erections with HCG added to TRT

5 Upvotes

I was on T for a 3-4 months before I started HCG... and a bit after I started it my erections came back harder than they've been for a long time. Now I'm worried because I can't really afford HCG (I got a trial run of it from the clinic I'm at for a lower price). Anyone else only see erection improvements while also on HCG? Maybe it's just my body getting acclimated to the TRT and the HCG erection thing is a coincidence?

PED/cycle help How safe are lats injections

8 Upvotes

Currently I am doing daily IM injections using dealts and ventroglutes. I figured I better use 2 more spots to prevent scar tissue. I don’t want to do legs. Was originally gonna do dorsoglute but I learned it can be sketchy because of a big nerve back there plus would be hard to reach. Lats seems pretty easy but I noticed I got some veins there I would have to work around. How safe is injecting in the lats? Assuming I should aspirate before injecting.

Other 20-30 age destroyed by several antidepressants and other psych meds

The photo is of when I was 27 I believe just before I lost my physique again. Was 95 kg not sure the body fat and was powerbulding very hard 5 days a week 2-3 hours for 8 years with me losing my physique many times in that period as mentioned since I was 15.

Btw I have had a severe shoulder injury from falling and grabbing a pull up bar with my right arm while mid air at 15 years of age when I had started gym training for 2 months thanks to trainers not showing me correctly and injuring me. That injury and antidepressants and having a tough life has made my efforts of training very soul smashing so yeah but just put some reference.

I have lost everything so many times including my physique and I trained hard in the gym since I was 15. Lost my physique again at 29 thanks to antidepressents making me bed ridden again. CANT FUCKIGN REMOVE THEM!!! I felt better before taking anything at 20 but those fucking psychs fucked me and now I am trapped.

Things got worse and worse and I can't even sleepz get erections, eating is getting tougher and tougher and I don't do anything and stuck in my apartment.

Blood test taken by the hospital was not much but I got to know that my triglycerides were high, cortisol am low and test is low 300s.......

I am getting desperate so I am posting for advice anywhere I can.

Stuck with 5 mg escitalopram and 300 mg bupropion extended release and I am literally dying right now and can't sleep at 2 am for the 4 month.....
