    Decided I'm gonna test my 225xAMRAP in the new year. So two weeks from now. Curious to see how it goes. Hoping for at least 10.

    Good luck, I imagine 10 is actually low for you.

    eat well the night before, pick out a good pace and just pound until you win or die.

    Guess who is going on gear.
    T level is that of a 70 year old man.

    Above or below the Mendoza line?

    Is getting T levels checked part of a normal physical, or do you have to pay extra for it typically? I've never had it done, but I'd be curious to see what mine were. I just assume they're fine since I want to smash weights and everything else in my site if you know what i'm sayin...

    I requested is specifically, it's not normally done.

    There's a few indicators like fatigue that had me concerned, so I asked for it, and my doc said, make it so.

    Yeah, fatigue is generally the first indicator. Generally feeling like a bag of **** and weakness are big signs.

    These were my clues many many years ago when I was first diagnosed...in addition to busting *kitten* in the gym, eating like a horse, and not making any appreciable progress. 30ish years old and T levels <200 is the saddest sad that ever sadded.

    I'm right at 200 @ 35.

    Mine are supposed to be around 540 IIRC. I might go get tested but I have a feeling mine might be a little high judging by my performance in the gym.

    Bold.

    Two years later, we're still trying to dial in the right dose for something reasonable. I've since tested around 130-200 many times...and a fluky 1500 earlier this year. Hoping we finally have it right now. Will know in a few months when we test again. I'd be fine with 500-700 since we test at the furthest point from the last injection (ie, the day of a scheduled injection). Good luck.

    I figure, ask high and outside of the top of the range, and he'll know I want to be on the higher end if not top of the range.

    "Reach for the stars, and get the moon." So to speak.

    I should have mine tested then lulz... wonder if they would give me shots for that.

    I'd be okay with it. I want bigger lifts damnnnnit

    Just be careful with that. If I get a little too much on the protocol, I grow hair, might get a little uneven emotionally, and a few other fairly benign side effects*. If you do that, things can go south really quickly (or at least that's what I've heard).



    *(Well, I guess there's that whole liver damage thing at too high doses for too long to worry about too.)

    You're already basically become a man with all that lifting (I see through that makeup that only *kitten* clowns wear in the gym) so you might as well complete the transformation.

    I thought liver damage was with oral dosing only.

    I don't think they've invented numbers that high yet. Fricken kids. :D
