Its absolutely bullshit and there are zero laws regarding this.
Ask the dr which law it is as you would like to research it and be clear about how to "legally" conduct yourself while receiving trt.
he cant and won't be able to provide anything. Just catch him.lyung and call out in it. Then tell him you are changing docs and filing a complaint with medical board as well as attorney general.
Fuck him using a law that doesn't exist to scam u for more money. Bullshit
LOL, damn. Would be interesting to see the doctor's face after this exchange.
It's usually twice a year I believe. So is this every 2 months indefinitely or is it to find a proper dosage for you that puts you into the normal range at which point you will not be required to do as frequent bloodwork? I am thinking it's the former by the way you worded it.

Only purpose would be to have a full set of hang lows. Will you preserving your nuts to make more test? maybe if this is your first or second cycle and you’re 24.
I’ve always done 2-3x a week (250-500iu each) when I wanted to hang low and have some massive loads. When I was in my mid 20’s and early cycles when I actually came off I’d do 3-4x a week and it seemed to help my test rebound when off. By my late 20’s my natty T rebound was laughable. The HCG just got me from 0 ng of test to a whopping 200ish Ng level over an couple months. Hence no more coming off and cruising/blasting became my life.
btw...two pregnancies for me in my late 30’s. So much for years of abuse leading to sterility. We got preggos real fast when she started letting me drop loads inside her.
This was what I did also when I used HCG back before I decided to blast & cruise. I'd use I think it was 250iu (maybe 500iu but I don't think so except closer to the end of a cycle) twice a week. Then I would blast higher amounts of HCG from the end of the cycle to the start of PCT. Don't ask me what I did for that because that shit was like 8-9 years ago now & I have no idea what dosages I used. If I had to guess it would have been 1000iu EOD.
Remember though that HCG can increase estrogen levels a bit as well.

I didn't post what I thought about these types of situations in my OP, but I agree with you guys. My phone stays in the locker room while I'm lifting. Always has. I don't understand these people who think they're so damn important that they can't spend 30 minutes to 2 hours or so without their phone glued to their hands. It's one thing if you're on call or something or waiting to hear back about something really pressing and/or important, but otherwise, just let it go for a while.
People always say "well I gotta record my numbers." You can do that without a phone. You SHOULD do it without a phone - phone's get replaced/broken/lost, apps are discontinued, people forget their login information for apps, etc. If you're serious about your lifting & training, you should have hard copies and/or a couple electronic backups of your training logs so you can look back years down the road & see how you trained to achieve XXXXXX. Or they say they need it for music. I guess I can maybe get that one, but why not just get a cheap MP3 player? That's what I did. I have an iPod nano that I only use in the weightroom. Plus, why would I want my like $700-$1000 phone laying out somewhere where people are utilizing weights that could destroy my device so easily? Like I mentioned, my phone gets locked up in a locker; the only exception to that has been when my old iPod nanos took a dump & stopped working - then I would repurpose one of my old phones for music temporarily. But since it's an old phone that's just been sitting in a drawer for a couple years it can't access any mobile network anymore so no phonecalls/text can be received or sent. And I hate having to do that just because of the size difference lol. So annoying to go from a little iPod nano to a phone for music temporarily lol.

They were 50mg brotha.
Ohhhh how I have missed seeing that lmao. Remember it was always in DFL's/your (!!!) emails.
Can't believe someone said DFL made them nervous. LMFAO! I think he must have confused DFL with somebody else. All I know is while I worked with DFL several times, I wish it would have been more for reasons already stated multiple times over ITT.

I've never witnessed this happen (yet) but with how many people have their cell phones in the weight room, I am sure eventually I will. Just curious as to what people think or would react to this.
As mentioned, a lot of people have their cell phones with them on the weight floor. A good percentage of these people also will put them on the floor next to their bench or machine they are using. Obviously this leaves it vulnerable to being damaged or broken. So what if, in front of the dumbbell racks, someone has their phone sitting on the floor with their water bottle, notebook, etc all next to their bench. Someone on the bench next to them gets injured and consequently drops their dumbbells, or just kind of drops them (not like throwing them) after their set, or something feels weird during their set so they bail to try to prevent an injury and drop the dumbbells. The dumbbell(s) bounces/rolls/smashes and ends up damaging the person's phone. Curious to know what you guys think in terms of who is at fault/responsible, who should pay, how much each person should pay if they're going to split the cost, etc. Those types of things.
I've wondered about this before but never posted on a forum or asked anyone IRL what they thought about it. Only partially related, but I was front squatting today for my medium lower day & two guys came in & took the rack next to me (like why? Why not take the rack next to the attractive girl? but whatever lol) & somehow one of them, while racking the bar after a set of squats, manages to slide both plates off one side of the bar & the plates then slammed down onto the floor between our racks. This happened during my set while I had 295lbs racked across my front delts so I was just like WTF? Nothing was damaged, but this incident just kind of confirmed for me how stupid some of the newer people at my gym are. But that is kind of what prompted my question.
What say you guys?
-
I agree man, no reason to come off anymore if you're seriously into this life style. I'm over 40 myself. Thanks for the tips, and again I agree on the test.
Yes, that was exactly my thinking years ago when I made the decision to blast & cruise instead of the hormonal rollercoaster that is the cycle/PCT method. I am over a decade younger than you though lol. There is no way I will ever give this up by choice so why screw around with the like 3 steps forward & 2.5 steps back BS with cycling/PCT'ing. It was like "going to use PEDs anyway, going to keep lifting for life, & I'll get on TRT anyway when I'm older at the very least for quality of life, so why not just jump on permanently now & take some of the detrimental BS out of the equation?"
And I'm not sure I really gave you any tips lol. I just kind of confirmed/thumbs up'd what you already laid out & were already thinking lol.

Looks pretty good. I'm actually doing something similar right now - basically the exact same thing except my doses are slightly different & I am not using Masteron. I think it will work great for what you want (recomp) assuming you pair it with effective training (& of course nutrition/rest).
The only thing I would recommend is lowering your test. 300 is the max I would use. I am using 270mg/week. Half a gram is too much when you have that tren in there. 200-300mg. Essentially you want a "high TRT" dose at the most. (Although I guess depending on one's size, they could claim half a gram is a TRT dose lol). If you want, after you finish the tren, you could give it a week or so & then ramp the test up a little bit to whatever you want until the end of the blast.
Was also going to strongly recommend to stop cycling/PCTing like you mentioned in for your sentence, but at the end you said you don't come off anymore anyway. Which, while you don't say how old you are, is what I would recommend. I have no idea why any man over the age of 40 at the latest is not on TRT. It's not even for lifting - at that point it's just a quality of life thing.
EDIT: Actually, I am using 300mg/week of test sustanon right now. I was using 270mg/week but switched to a different lab's sust when I finished the vial & I went from a concentration of 300mg/mL to 250mg/mL. Corrected spelling error & added stuff about increasing weekly test dosage after finishing the tren.

Everything is the exact same - all the forums are in the same order. It just looks different because the new version has new skins. You'll get used to it.
AB1 looks more like the old style skin than AB2 does IMO.
Although I do agree with the "latest posts" sidebar thing - that was really nice to have.

Id disagree on the tapered belt. Yes, a 4 inch will give you more surface area to push against but its not like the 2.5 inch on the front is completely useless. You still get some intrabdominal pressure with it Its always a trade off between comfort and performance. You want performance get a 4 inch 13mm with no suede...thats gonna be the one that offers the most support, but also the most uncomfortable and itll dig into you for a long long time before it breaks in. Personally I prefer a 10mm tapered belt
The best designed belts are the same height around the entire circumference of the belt, not padded, & are made of leather (preferably one piece of leather - a lot of cheaper belts are two pieces of leather glued together FYI). Given that the entire purpose of a belt is to increase intra-abdominal pressure, not to "protect your back" like the majority of people think, & that this increase in pressure is a result of cylindrical stress, you need equal heights on opposite sides of the belt to equally distribute pressure across the surface. And the more surface area there is the better because there will be a greater increase in intra-abdominal pressure as a result. This then equates to more weight being moved.
You can tell that manufacturers that make only tapered/wide back belts don't truly understand the point of using a belt.
I'm not saying that a tapered belt doesn't work persay. There's still area to brace against, just less of it. There's some elite level Olympic weightlifters who use tapered belts & even some who use those velcro style soft belts; although they're not doing max effort lifts & for these lifters with the Olympic lifts, the belt can actually get in the way of proper bar path so it's a little bit different for them. Those belts are not recommended for the typical trainee. A 4" height for the entire circumference of the belt is without a doubt the best type for strength athletes or for the typical trainee who wants to get stronger. There is simply no debate there (exceptions being individuals with a build with tall hips/low ribs where the space between is smaller than the usual person. This type of person might have to use a belt other than 4" in height - 3" would be the preferred alternative).
I compete in powerlifting so I use a 13mm lever belt and I love it. I would strongly recommend if you’ve had a hernia to not use a tapered belt.A 10 or 13mm 4’ all around belt would both be great options. The less surface area on the front of the belt the less area you have to push against to create intra-abdominal pressure which would raise the chance of a hernia reoccurring.
Stoic makes some good stock belts for around $80 I believe or iron bull has nice ones that my wife uses for about $50. If you really want to splurge go with pioneer. No better quality out there but it’s gonna fun you a bit closer to the $120-300 range depending on customization options. I have a custom belt for them that I got as an anniversary gift and I have never worn a more secure or comfortable belt.
EXACTLY! I saw that ET had responded to my post the other day on the sidebar in the main forum (didn't get a chance to pop in the other day) & this was exactly what I immediately thought of for a response to him. It's all about the surface area & simple pressure per square inch.

Everyone says "the magic happens at x dose"....bullshit
Exactly. The dose that "the magic happens at" is going to be different for everyone; as evidenced ITT where some people are saying it's 2g, then someone else heard 4g, & yet another was told it's 3g. And you really need GH to take advantage of those higher test doses, so who's to say that GH isn't making "the magic happen?"

I have a "13mm" belt from Pioneer. I say "13mm" because to comply with powerlifting regulations, the suede is part of the 13mm, so there's about 10mm of leather plus the suede. Had I known this before ordering, I would have forgone the customization & gotten only leather & not the belt with the suede on it. Don't get a double prong. I have a single prong & I've heard from a lot of people that double prongs are a big PITA to get on.
Tapered...just no. Having the front of the belt smaller completely takes away from the whole purpose of the belt. I mean, if you just want a belt to have a belt like some of the old guys at my gym who have been lifting for years but look like total shit, do movements with shit form, can't move anything even remotely impressive, & walk around with their wide back belt on the entire time they're on the weightroom floor looking like a bag of dicks, then by all means, go ahead & get a wide back/tapered belt. If you actually want to use the belt properly to increase your performance, then get the normal (& more importantly, more effective) 4" belt.

Tren (preferably tren E) & halo! I know it's always "test is test," "tren is tren," etc., but I have noticed that I tend to develop more strength (& thickness) on tren E vs tren A. I've discussed this before with a couple people who also said they noticed the same thing. It's not a huge difference in strength development but it's there for me.
Be warned though - that combination gave me to potential to be an absolute total asshole depending on the person & situation. What I was told by a couple people later on after I had stopped the halo, it wasn't so much what I said, but how I said it that could be really hurtful. It's also the only time I've ever experienced what the masses would refer to as "roid rage." I hate that phrase & I'm always one of the first to say that it's the person, not the hormones; but I had one hell of a short fuse on tren & halo.
Anadrol makes me pretty strong pretty quick too.

I need to do everything you mentioned. Only one I am doing is the CPAP lol. Need to do cardio too, which I fucking hate.
How old are you?
Good luck brother. Guy on another forum I frequent needed a heart transplant not that long ago. Last we heard, he was doing better; but we haven't heard from him in quite a while now.

I never experienced PIP with bold cup, but definitely crashing with it at 200/mg. I'd be fine with it at 150/mg to be honest, I was getting great results at 400mg/wk.
I received some bold cyp once while I was out of town for part of the day. Temperatures were pretty low so I was worried about the stuff sitting out in the cold for part of the day so I got back to town as soon as I could. For a second or two initially after opening the packaging, I actually thought the oil had frozen because the stuff looked so weird lol. But it was just badly crashed. That bold cyp was 150mg/mL - most of the bold cyp I've used was 150mg/mL I think. I would prefer 200mg/mL just because 200 is a little easier to work with than 150 when it comes to dosing, but most of the guys I knew who would have it eventually switched to 150mg/mL because it was easier to hold.
I don't really recall any PIP from bold cyp either. But then again, I don't get PIP from anything really - unless I'm unlucky & the injection just kind of sucks.

Yea. If you use a bank account with Coinbase it takes forever. A debit or credit card is instantaneous but the fees are high. Not sure the percentage but it’s a lot.

See, the thing is, I had put funds on there before & they were like instantly available. Even if they weren't, it sure as shit wasn't two weeks. And I could have sworn it said that my funds would be available instantly when I deposited this last time. So IDK. Their support was useless too - escalated it to a "specialist" who did literally nothing.

Think this CASH APP is much more efficient that that Coinbase. Who the hell makes you wait 4 days after you've paid to get the BTC's you paid for!
FOUR DAYS? Those pricks made me wait almost two weeks last time.

LOL, this is true. This guy is like a buck sixty soaking wet & he walks back in one day on his phone talking about how some other guy has chicken legs. I thought it was hilarious since all the women at work have bigger arms & legs than he does (not like they're overweight either - i mean a few are, but even the normal size/weight woman do lol). Just a few months ago, he said something to me right when he came back into the lab & he didn't have his lab coat on yet & when I looked at him, it blew my mind how skinny he is.

hey , whats up man , i always shot thru a 23g needle . never had it clog . i only tried a couple other and they all clogged thru 23g i think one was ttokyo.
it might be nostalgic thinking too.
Jesus christ, a 23g? Haven't pinned with one of those since way back when I first started years ago. Haven't used anything smaller than a 25g in years & I honestly hate using the 25gs! Much rather use 27g 1"-1.5".

Truth.
What I also like are the guys who defend their idols or whatever...guy at work is into crossfit & I guess some Crossfit guy got banned for a while due to the anti doping policy & this guy was all like "they have really strict standards...it could have been something like too much caffeine." It's just like no - he got banned because he juices dude.

I've tried CBD lately. I got it for something unrelated to sleep though. I had bought some from a headshop a while ago (brand was "Kalki;" supposedly designed more for athletes). It seemed like maybe it was helping a little bit, but I was nervous about buying more CBD because I wasn't sure if it was worth the $45 I paid for that Kalki brand bottle. Just the other day, I stopped in at an actual CBD shop that opened near me recently & bought a bottle of their brand (was like $76 & change). I've used it the last few days. I haven't even taken a full mL of it yet (that's a dose per the label - like 16mg or so I think) & it seems like it is helping me sooooo much more than the other stuff I had. I've been using between ~0.25cc to around 0.7cc. Beyond some of the other effects I've noticed, it seems like my sleep has been better the last few days when I should really expect it to be worse. The CBD is the only thing that has been different. I actually slept until my alarm went off the other day when I normally wake up about 75 minutes before my alarm & usually end up actually getting up around 45 minutes before it would go off.
Not sure if would help sleep apnea. I have obstructive sleep apnea as well & use a CPAP machine every night. It seems like CBD could make sleep apnea worse? Since CBD tends to have anxiolytic and relaxing effects it seems like maybe that muscular relaxation could result in sleep apnea getting worse but I don't know.

Seems like he was targeted because he was associated with a group that had been deemed a domestic terrorist group. I haven't read the whole thing (yet), & I know it mentions the DEA, but I would guess they're looking more for international packages that are going to main drug suppliers here in the US; especially fentanyl - that shit mixed in with heroin is killing people left & right because of how strong it is. The average end user who buys gear for personal use & maybe a friend or two is probably fine.
But they have been photographing mail & have made it known to the general public for a while - they have "Informed delivery." You receive an email each morning that shows you pictures of mail you are to receive on that day. That Informed delivery system also keeps track of packages that are coming to you. Any package that has your address on it will show up in your list if you have signed up for informed delivery so you can view the tracking history for it whenever you want - whether you were given the tracking number by the shipper or not.

Heart valve damage is not a concern with the doses that are used for your purposes - 0.5mg twice a week generally. That type of damage was only seen with higher doses, everyday doses, over longer periods of time.
That said, I am not sure what the answer to your question is. I have never noticed insomnia from prami. They use dopamine agonists to treat RLS which is typically worse in the evenings & at nights. If you get that side effect then your best bet would be to take it as soon as you get up in the morning.
Corona virus and our thing...

LOL, nobody is going to get infected by "tainted" raws. The virus needs a human host to survive - it can't survive more than a few hours tops outside the human body. And it's most likely spread person to person via droplets.
Plus it would be subjected to temperature extremes during shipping and the process of turning the raw powders into usable oil products which would likely kill the virus even if it was able to survive outside a human host (and again, it can't - it needs to incubate within the human body).
