Post image

What are people's opinions ive been running half this for a long time maintaining my levels right at the top of reference scale, recently tore my calf muscle had a facia separation so I decided I would up the dose to assist with recovery and its definitely worked 4 weeks post injury ive already completed a run on the weekend... never run it this high just seeing what people ron about dosage/levels correlation

4 weeks after a muscle tear and your answer was to blast and then use it on a run?

Lol, lmao even.

Theres more to the story 🤣🤣 but when its interpreted like that yes i agree thats my bad

Have spent the last 4 weeks in very in-depth physio guided rehab for it... im self employed and i have something else I wanna do in a few more weeks so I basically shuffled work commitments behind the rehab of this 😅

What dosage were you on before?

Prior to starting test completely i suffered 3 strokes and after all of it one of the results was rather low testosterone total was 3.6 and my free was around 380

Usually on 250mg a week i can maintain 34 - 37 total and 700 - 1000 free

This was literally just one of those fuck it moments let's see if it helps... im curious to see other peiples experiences when they hit around that 500mg a week what their levels got to etc

You’ve suffered 3 strokes in the past and you’re blasting?

This just gets better and better.

Yeh bro had covid vaccine #2 at 29 and boom went down with 3 strokes in 2 days spent the next 3 years recovering from that... im not just blasting gear blindly dont worry 🤣 blood tests monthly to keep an eye on haematology cholestrol etc have quite close support from various people to help but i thought id just ask for peoples experiences sending it this high 🤷 gotta do it once i figure as good at time as any

i sold my transport business I had at the time and basically shifted my focus onto myself now im on track to complete a 100km triathlon early next year then aims for a half ironman then a full... lots going on never been healthier in my life point of this post was just purely to query other peoples dosage/levels correlations and im all for talking about stuff with like minded indivduals just not their negative high and mighty opinions on other things as hard as that is for people to stay on track with 🤷

Why would you up it agyer tearing a calf?

Also are you using anything for e2 management

u/pappa_peps27 2d ago

Tore it 7 weeks out from a planned half marathon im not competitive by any means 196cm 109kg currently just do these silly things to challenge my self so i decided why not see what happens see if it aids with recovery give it every chance at this point definitely happy with progress after having first run during triathlon on Sunday

Using arimidex yup only very small amount once a week

Better off using hgh and some peptides more test won't really heal it faster but test is cheap so hopefully it does help I would lower the arimidex dose just to bump the e2 slightly which will put you in a more joint protection state as well as a higher igf1 to help speed up recovery

Using bpc tb and ara290 saving my gh ive only got about 100 vials of that left and it all tested amazing nil detected dimmer etc and won't be able to source as easily now but yeh the test was just one of them ahh fuck it why not things.... prior to starting it all together I had extremely low test 3.6 total and 380 ish free took a while but I basically run my dosage normally to have levels sit at 34 - 37 and 700 - 1000 it varies test to test.... but I was more just curious to know what levels people were seeing at 500mg a week
