Time for an old dude to step it up

Drive excellent. Hydraulics good/great (depends on motivation) . Trigger pull difficult but not impossible. Mood good- not emotional

Sometimes life gets in the way of progress but I'm far from dead. Yet. ;-)

Gonna hit em hard for the time I've got free this week, hopefully last work on the 'selling' house next week, list, sell (hoping quick. Market is hot here)

..... and I can finally get back to my serious, steady, Maximus workout regimen. Smaller sucks. Bigger was awesome :)

I can even note a bit of dampened enthusiasm from wifee. She would never admit it but when I was at my peak, she was.... well....voracious? That's a good word. Yup, Voracious.

Good times !!!

Also my hip for the bursitis , shots straight into the joints. Hurt OMG. My doc would say "Ok give your heart to God and your thumb to me" lol

My wheels turn pretty slow, but sometimes I actually get a clue! Lol

Very quick synopsis: started this blast (on trt so I'm not c***sing much these days) with a test-e/tren-e with a tren-a kickoff and then proceeded to waste most of it moving houses n injuring my hammy. Bloods good except for high hematocrit. Added Dbol until injury. Cialis 0.25/day n proviron to help the sides as always.

Then shifted to test-e/deca with NPP kicker. Donated. Killed that test-e goal and (here it comes) switched to a sample of test-u I bought for Wifee to try. It did nothing for her at 15/week..... and now my sides are even worse. Upped cialis to 0.5/day as sides worsened. Getting ready to bail on this whole deca thing .... and it occurs to me; is this test-u, from supplier I've never tried before, underdosed?

I know, bloods will tell but that's not gonna happen soon enough. Simple fix to just pitch this U and go back to my gtg test-e! I've been really lucky and never gotten bunked. Until now? Thought it was weird that Wifee felt zip from the U.

I'm slow. I know. ;-) but an old dog can learn

No gym yesterday-details to follow
No gym today - so far. 7 hr drive. House prep now.

So, you guys and gals will get a laugh at my expense ;-) you saw that I was having increased deca difficulties and believe to have found the biggest issue. Well since I had not seen Wifee in about a week and wanted to be able to offer her the greeting I hoped she would want (cuz dang I wanted it too!) I hit myself with 250mgs of known test, doubled up my cialis AND hit myself with 5iu melanotan (which if you have used it you know one of the sides)

So.... the morning 'welcome back honey' greeting was epic! Poor woman! But then my stomach began to bother me and with lack of sleep I took a nap. Woke up a few later when I rolled over on to a 4x4 post :-o honey? I've got an issue here. I understand if you're not up for round two... her response? OMG it's huge! What the hell did you do!?! And then round two ;-) wifee marathon cardio. Side note: thru all this I never could pull the trigger. Still feeling like crap otherwise and many trips to the John, it was back to bed once again

No gym. Way too little food. Up this morn at 2am for the 7 hour drive. Random intermittent wood the entire drive :-( feel like I've been run over by a truck

Yeah.... I overdid it. My bad
 
I can't definitely blame the orgasmia on the deca cuz it could just be age related but my low test/higher deca seems to dampen my 'motivation ' and trigger pull. Bloodwork showed no problems with E2 or prolactin.

Next adjustment will be to run higher test than deca.... or something else entirely ;-)
 
Ole Duff, you may recall I had the same issues around less desire and at times trouble popping the cork. I was clamping down on E2 and running caber. My E2 when I tested it was low at 15 on the sensitive test, and I've come to believe these symptoms were related to E2 too low. Prolactin was 9, so no issues there.

When I cut back on Adex things got better, then when I stopped Adex for a week out of town things got way better - like horny teenager type better.

I didn't get retested, so don't know the E2 sweetspot, but I know too low sucks as bad or worse than too high.

I've read 29 is a sweet spot for TRT doses. I wonder if you are jackin' 900 mg/wk AAS if that number might need to be a bit higher, more like keeping a ratio of test to E2 rather than a specific target.

I don't know yet, work in progress. I find E2 management to be the hardest thing we do, besides cramming enough food down your throat to gain.
