    Just another intro i guess

    Greeting to all guys, gals, nb pals. My name is Emex, im 42 male from Los Angeles. I started going to the gym a few years ago off and on (pandemic didn't help matters) but 2022 more consistently. Total 'natty' for the first 9+ months. I just wanted to slow roll, ate my meals, got my work in 3 times a week at least. Just built some foundation of good habits, and along the way added some supplements (creatine, bcaa caps, beta alanine). Basically wanted to make sure I had basic habits and some strength before looking into leveling up in any way. My motivation is probably just wanting to challenge myself, change my body, and look a certain way i guess. We all have different motivations, I'm certainly not into competitions or anything. But anyway, recently (September) I wanted to do trt combined with some peptides (Ipamorelin, IGF LR3, and BPC). When I had my test checked it came back 555 and my dr said it's normal and so i couldn't take it any further with him. That's when I concluded that I need to get my own and do it myself but in the right way. I landed on this site hope to learn, and possibly find resources for my journey.

    Currently have not located/purchased any Anabolics, namely testosterone. But, I did purchase the peptides mentioned above and started on those in low doses just to see my bodies reactions to them.

    Anyway. I'm not sure if this is a proper intro or not. Maybe a bit long winded. But I wanted to give some background, and setup a starting point since I'm in this for the long haul. It's a lifestyle and hobby now which I really enjoy. Thanks for reading. and Thank you to the creators, mods, and contributors of this site.

    Welcome to the board!

    Good to see your progression... it's how a lot of us went. Natty, supps, peptides and then AAS.

    Welcome Emex!
    555 total T may not be that bad. Depends on what your free T level is as free is what works for you.

    Cylon357: Thanks for the welcome. Ya, being that I jumped into this late in my life, it just made sense to take a slow progression. But this forum seems legit. I'm not sure what I can contribute being that I'm new to the lifestyle, but we'll see. Foremost here to learn, get some advice hopefully, possibly make some connections. Thanks for the response.

    kelkel: Thanks for the welcome. I might need to get my shit checked again to have the answer to 'free T level'. My dr was clueless. When I looked at his printout it read 555 ng/dl 'normal', nothing about free t. Ya 555 isn't bad, I don't have like symptoms of low t, but who's here for normal? I want it optimized ...and from what I've read 800-1000 range is a sweet spot? But ya, i need to get work done again.

    brazey: Thanks, appreciate it.
