testosterone and food absorbtion, plus weight gain vs fat gains

[flatscat]

I think it will help your light anemia for sure.

Is it possible to do a full bulk on a low carb/ carb cycling diet? I don't think so.

Since your body on t is already processing nutrients more efficiently, (especially carbs), is it possible to change your body comp positively (lose bf, gain lean mass) while on one of these diets while in a ketosis state? Yes, I think so because I did it.

I only bring this up because you are concerned (as you should be) about excess bf. However you do it, you need to bring it down.

Some guys that metabolize t slowly are ok with every 10 days - but those are very few and far between. Some guys that metabolize t quickly will surely do better on twice a week. There is a friendly ongoing discussion about the need for twice a week injections in general on this board. I am sure there are some who really do better on twice a week, and some that are just fine on once a week. It is an individual preference and should be based on personal experience with both.

You guys are talking about two different things - GDevine is absolutely correct about half-lives - that is a fact. Boxing - most of your references are pertaining to treatment protocols. A good protocol should be based on the half-life, and that is where this board and it's members have a problem with any physician implementing an injection protocol that is over once a week for the most part. It make no sense scientifically or practically. There is plenty of personal testimonials in this section of guys that were started out every ten days or even once a month by physicians (who read the same reports you listed and said once a month will be fine....) who saw dramatic improvements in overall satisfaction with their treatment when they went to at least once a week injections.

hope that helps

Thanks for your input faltscat, for now and i will go for the once every 10 days at least until i get tested, like you say it might be different from person to person and maybe depending on how low a person test level is. I guess

It still feels quite funny that i have been put on TRT so fast, i went for my blood test results and PRP treatment, i said i still feel down and tired all the time, i did have an HIV test 10 years ago anemia can be related to that too, but it was negative, and i did not fool around with other women, been with GF for 7 years now. So after ruling out everything else he put me on TRT.

I guess that you can never say never in life, i said i would never use steroid again, and now i got a presc for Test E for the next 6 months but as many here say it will be for life.
