Time for an old dude to step it up

Better living through chemistry, my man! If it's free, I'm likely to give it a whirl ;-)
Also note: finally dusted off the trager. Pork shoulder, one ham, some steaks n chicken breast strips. Baby reds n corn on cob. Stocked for a bit now. Been doing way too many shakes n bars

Changed up intensities. Light set, heavy set, burn down sets

Good pump both days. Really felt the chest after presses.

Weight 215. Wayyyyy not enough cals the last few days due to the nap, sex, repeat cycle ;-)

On the entertainment front, I think I mentioned that I need to lower wifee dose? Yeah... no test for her for two weeks now and she is still wearing me out!!! Last night was a three-fer, and I don't mean 3 in a row. I mean multiples each set with 3 session, one every few hours!!!! My pencil is worn to a nub. My tongue is even tired!!!dont know when this effect will finally let up some, but damn! Btw, no negative sides at all thus far. Her button is a bit bigger and definitely more sensitive but nothing else. I wonder if the delayed decay is due to the sub-q injection and the fact that she has thicker 'q' than most here.

What dose & ester test did you use? Is she on birth control pills?

Sorry I didn't see this earlier Tank. She has been post-menopausal for 30 years. Long , painful story. She is getting 12.5mg test-e twice a week (skipping some if intensity is too much) and Premarin (tho I suspect she is skipping this sometimes)plus IGF.

She has almost zero complaints. I am not complaining either, except for all the extra cardio lol!!!

Just such an unbelievable transition!
 
Leg day.
Still waiting for bloodwork results but: I suspect my E2 is too low now while the Raloxifene does seem to be shrinking the mamms.

Went intense today but less total exercises. Legs barely recovered from last go. Days n days of pain!

10 mins cardio
Plated squat: 200x8, 380x6, 470x6, ... 600x2!!! Then I tried to get it up again and... fail! Lol

Db squats: 50x8, 120x5, 60x8, 50x12
Leg curl: 100x12, 200x4, 80x20

Weight 219.5, carbs 35, fat 21, protein 38(368g) I don't know how THAT happened!

Just added 20# of venison to my freezer too! :)

That's super interesting to me. My wife has just mediocre libido, though all her equipment is working fine. We recently switched birth control pills to a very low estrogen version to see if it peps her up at all. Switched from 20ug to 10ug.

I did a bunch of reading on birth control pills and found out they all have synthetic estrogen Ethinyl Estradiol in 30/20/ or 10 ug, combined with another hormone. That other hormone can be any of a bunch of different ones. It is the other hormone that can tend to be harder on her testosterone levels, or less so, depending on which one. Sometimes switching to another type boosts libido or her enjoyment.

I know test injections would work wonders for her, but I don't think she would ever go for it. Too bad....

Hey this is off topic, but related. We've talked estrogen levels before regarding men's libido, quality, and trigger pull. I recently let mine creep up too high while cr u i sing due to brain fart on AI dosing, and saw a sometimes loss of hardon late in the act, and impossible trigger pull. Figured out what was going on and boosted AI dose, things are going back to normal after a few days. Didn't see any other side effects. This is tricky stuff.

out of curiosity, at what dosage would you put her on if she did want to try test and for how long?
 
Well that's why I asked Old Duffer about dosage. 25 mg/wk seems like a lot to me, though I'm sure it is effective!

And we've discovered that 25/wk is too much. Dropping back to 12.5/wk cuz current dose is driving her crazy. She is so sore and sensitive today that it's pissing her off! Like an itch she can't scratch and the more she ignores it, the louder it screams! I had to break out the lidocaine cream and numb some 'places' just to give her a break.

I really think it is a balance and it's hitting her harder from skipping her Premarin. She has no ovaries so no estrogen production at all without pills (except for test to estrogen conversion)

We talked about this and I upped my AI. Had a couple really good sessions and then it's worse than ever. It's tough getting everything just right. STILL waiting for bw results

No gym day but finally got my blood work.

As expected, hematocrit is high. Need another oil change soon.
Test is highest I've ever had @ 3727 !!!

Here's the surprise tho. I know I let my E2 get too high as felt by my nips. Cranked up the anastrazole. Nips back to normal but joints ache all the time.... therefore I overshot the AI and now E2 is low? Nope! BW shows it's still on the high side at 31 (8-35)

I'm a walking (ok. Limping), talking example of the 'don't guess cuz you'll be wrong' guy! I have guessed wrong as compared to lab work so many times it is not even funny!!!

Dropping back to c r u ise until I get a donation done and prep for the next, different blast.
