    Yea, I have 'thin privilege', down from 75 Kg to 63 Kg (small body type). Abs are looking OK but I put on a little more fat since moving back from Burma and finding food again.

    What I do get called now (I'm amazed but it's true), is 'muscle guy'. Considering that my body type is generally 'weedy', the reason for this is simply my modest weight training, coupled with testosterone injections, (which BTW have also made my dong jump to attention every 10 minutes). Put a few small muscles on a weedy body type and you do start to look somewhat muscular.

    If I wanted to be less weedy would it be a bad idea to say cycle it for a bit then ditch it? Pretty much done everything bar roids and test so pretty sure the old body could hack it 555

    Where the fuck do you get testosterone injections? (and why)?
    I have them on prescription. I have a genetic low Testosterone level, as did my Dad and as does my son. Was diagnosed with low T in my 30's and used to have testosterone slow-release implants under my skin on my sides.

    The reason for taking T now is nothing to do with wanting to look like a muscle guy at all. Low T results in low upper body muscle mass (weedy chest and arms etc). As I get older, it's important to try to retain muscle mass, since this will reduce in your 60's and 70's etc. Problem is, I don't have that muscle mass to reduce from! So the T injections and weight training are simply to help to build up muscle mass to a reasonable level, 'cos then it's going to drop off as I get older.

    The massive stiffies are a welcome side-effect

    Mandy - the problem with injecting Testosterone is that (AFAIK), it encourages your body to shut down your own production of T. That's OK for me 'cos I'm old and produce bugger-all T anyway. But for a young virile guy like you, maybe not such a good idea.

    SEATTLE—Today, 2.1 billion people – nearly 30% of the world’s population – are either obese or overweight, according to a new, first-of-its kind analysis of trend data from 188 countries. The rise in global obesity rates over the last three decades has been substantial and widespread, presenting a major public health epidemic in both the developed and the developing world.

    I'm very sorry to hear this, Simone43.

    It's terrible that you haven't been able to accurately gender identify until now (although it was very obvious to us from the moment you tried to accost Somchai on a dark lane while 'hamming'...), but I'd like to offer you support on behalf of the entire TD community while you finally go through this acceptance period.

    Cycling should be banned!!!

    I was on a statin, a blood pressure medication and was starting to experience erectile dysfunction symptoms. I went to see a urologist, he run all the appropriate tests and could not find anything obvious wrong. He suggested I read a nutrition book he recommended, and said "follow that diet and your erections will return. I really did not read that book(very busy at work) but I decided I would give going vegetarian a chance for a few months and see how it goes. (easy for me 'cause I like vegetables and I can cook)

    NO meat, No poultry, No Dairy, No processed foods for breakfast Oatmeal sweetened with honey and mixed with walnuts (I feel full until lunch), . but I still eat fish. (no moral objections to meat, I still treat myself to a Beefsteak once a while)
    Eight months later, Off the blood med, BP 129/70 consistently, Off the statins. and wife is very Happy.
    I dont want to get preachy but when shopping at the supermarket, Shop at the periphery, and stay away from the inbetween isles, nothing but poison there.

    PS: No soda, just water, but I still drink a few beers, I know I shouldn't but I cant stop, plus beer is vegetarian.

    Yes. A very bad idea. Anyone who tells you that you'll keep your gainzzz after a cycle is either misinformed or lying (and if they're doing it themselves guaranteed that during the 'off' cycle they're actually taking something else so not actually even off at all). And, in the interim, it'll fuck with your own bodies natural hormone production and potentially lead to other complications.

    Medically prescribed TRT aside, there's just no reason to fuck with any of that shit unless you're an athlete or competitive bodybuilder or something in my opinion.

    ^Roger that. "First it giveth, then it taketh away" as the old saying goes. A friend of mine did 'roids in his 20's and 30's. Looked great into his 40's. Now in his 50's and undergoing all sorts of kidney, liver, blood pressure, bone problems, etc. I'd say he's a walking testimonial to anabolic 'roid abuse, but doubt he'll actually be walking much longer.

    Exactly. I don't personally know anyone who indulges but I've never heard an anecdote about using them that ends well.


    Edit: with the possible exception of Dorian Yates, fascinating and interesting story that guy, but who knows his future either.

    No, I had one for eight months. LOL

    Viagra is good but it is treating the symptom not the disease . I was more concerned with the statins . No med is without side effects.
