    I love Icariin. Horny Goat Weed here in the states usually has only 10 mg per pill of the active ingredient...that's why I take 6 times the recommend amount once before work outs and every night before bed.

    You can find it in 60 mg which is the most I think you can buy; but you need to buy it online.

    I've used it in the past, but not combined with my amino stack, and it worked okay.

    You can find it here if you are interested: Icariin 60™ • BEST HORNY GOAT WEED • 60% Icariin Extract

    I ordered the powder. I'm going to cap it myself in a size 00 cap and get more per cap. This will be fun.

    As for gdevines protocol, it's ridiculous! (this means good!). Now, Citrulline is pretty much arginine by conversion, but is a better way to get arginine. So I'm considering dropping arginine going forward (After I finish the batch I made!).

    Tonight i took the following:

    1000 mg of L-Tyrosine
    5 mg of Tadalafil
    3000 mg of L-Carnitine
    2000 mg of L-Arginine
    1000 mg of L-Citrulline

    (Ran out of goat weed last week)

    I did back and bi's today. The pump was far more extreme than my usual pump. After hanging-concentration curls, I could barely lift my arms. Most of my vascularity has always been pretty average. Tonight, the veins on the backside of my forearms wrapped around to the front. Very nice.

    I'm going to attribute this extra pump to Tyrosine. The latest batch that I made myself has Lysine, Cystiene and Arginine in it, and I haven't experienced this kind of pump from it.

    So... 2 thumbs up on gdevines pre-workout.

    Veins are over-rated!

    Study what these amino acids do; they all reduce weight!!!

    Any good well balanced protein shake is going to increase resting metabolic rate = weight lose.

    Right now, I am lean as I've ever been and I only watch what I eat so-so.

    You mentioned you take 1g of L-Tyrosine before bed. I was always under the impression that due its role in thyroid support, one would could maximize the benefit by taking it first thing in the morning? Perhaps my logic is more hearsay, but what's your reasoning for taking it at bed time?

    Also, do you switch or "cycle" between L-Tyrosine and 5-HTP? I've heard claims (and only just that) that by switching between the two pre-cursors, dopamine and serotonin levels stay within natural bounds, so to speak. In other words, you keep the delicate hormonal balance where as long-term supplementation can lead to depletion of one or the other.

    All right. I have some reading to do. I don't know why I don't take any supplements. Guess I like doing it the dumb way....

    I use caber to lower Prolactin to get me into the lower third of the reference range.

    Increases my libido (some days are crazy) increase orgasm intensity like nothing I've ever felt before and increases refractory periods...meaning I can orgasm faster the second time.

    Great stuff in my book...but expensive...get your Doc to prescribe so insurance can pay for it.

    Did your A4M Doc prescribe it for you? What can I tell my Doc to get him to prescribe it for me? Maybe, I could tell him to counter some sides from SSRI's as I had to go back on them?

    Yes, he did prescribe it. I told him I wanted to slightly lower my Proclatin levels and get the benefits of increased libido, stronger orgasms and short refractory periods...he was all over it!!!

    He tried it for the same reason and got moderate results...I get pretty good results from it.

    No issues. I introduced cialis a couple years ago, never stopped since. Been on AI for many years. There are some that go well with each other, as gdevine outline with arginine and citrulline. But really there is no "Harm" with NO's, vitamins and minerals. The only harm would be less effect or timing problems. ie: taking magnesium in the morning... not a good idea as it's also a muscle relaxer. Your body produces most of these supps, you'd just be taking more.

    I was under the impression that this was only a portion of what you take, if this is it nevermind then, you seem to know your stuff so I was trying to get your supp regimen and have you do all the leg work for me haha. I have the basics- protein,multi,krill oil,zinc and magnesium,vit d,etc. Just started pregnelone today, noticed a modest increase in sense of well-being. How did you go about getting seligiline? I just became aware that I can not recieve pm's until I get like 50 post, is their anyways you can tell me where you get your cialis at, a month supply from the pharmacy is like $ 160 dollars for 5 mgs. per day.

    I have a vitamin protocol if that's what you mean?

    I will list it tonight when I get home from the gym.

    I get Selegiline from my Doc via a scrip.

    It can be had from overseas pharmacy's as well.

    You need more posts before we can PM.

    Get active man and get that count up if you want my secret place

    I wonder, if our trusted board sponsor would be willing to include some of the meds included in the GD Protocol? Specifically, Cabergoline as it would be a benefit to some of us on TRT as well as SSRI's.

    Yea, I am pretty much back t 100% IM...just easier I guess than drawing up a slin pin with heavy esters.

    I inject mostly in the glutes, less chance of hitting a vein or nerve and less pain.

    I also z-track all IM injections as well.

    I use a 29g 1" 1/4' B&D rig.

    Could you explain "z-track", not sure what that is?

    It means pulling the skin tight with one hand and injecting with the other while keep tension on the skin. When you are done injecting pull the needle out and let go of the skin. What this does is prevent any testosterone to leak out of the hole or blood to leak out as well. The hole in the skin is now away from the actual injection site.

    GD how does your wife keep up with your libido?

    I'm 36 and between being on TRT and the cialis my 34 y/o fiancée can't even come close to keeping up with me. I feel like I'm walking on egg shells when I mention sex to her lol.

    Hell, I thought women reached their primed and ready for sex in their 30's but her Max for sex is maybe if I'm lucky just 2 times a week.

    Thank goodness for all the free porn on the Internet.

    Holy Crap your 53 and you're that built and ripped? Very inspiring. Are you naturally lean? Next up, we're gonna be asking for training tips.
    Great work, man. Keep it up.

    I just recently stumbled onto the issue of low test, had bw done, and now waiting on next appt with my gp to see where to go from here. I had been hoping that it would be a smooth sail with the gp, but from reading around on here that may not be the case. Oh well, we'll see.

    Believe me, I'm ready and raring to go with this but just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row.

    Btw, I am tremendously impressed with this forum. Really glad I found it.
