@jaegermedia1 Just embrace the needle and be done. Anything in the range of modern “averages” is not at all optimized. 750 is the least I’d consider acceptable in most people, and most lean active men feel much better in the 4 digits.

What’s the best natural testosterone booster on the market?
I don’t want to get on TRT.
My test levels are slightly above average, but my free testosterone is slightly below average so ideally I’m looking for something that frees up more testosterone.
English
@bowtiedmeathead I’d start with a full blood panel. If test looks anything less than about 750, I’d start on 150-200/wk with hcg and lifting. Pinelon and epitalon for sleep. Selank possible with a daily subq for a couple of weeks and then nasal spray prn (or just try that to start).
English
Had someone recently reach out to me who is on TRT looking for help…
“I’m a marine corps veteran and have PTSD, I’ve struggled with it for years. I do get treatment, etc. but, I’ve started to do some research on peptides, or other forms of therapy that may help with my overall anxiety/ptsd. The VA has literally tried doping me up with everything in the book, and nothing helps.”
Any suggestions or recommendations, please post below.
Let’s try to help our guy out on Memorial Day 🇺🇸

@BowTiedHRT @PeptidePharaoh I’ve done 500mcg to 2mg. Felt flushed with anything over 1mg for a brief time. Effects take 2-4h for me. I prefer 500mcg-1mg of mt2. No nausea for me. Wife has pretty vicious nausea with >100mcg of mt2 and has accordingly thus far declined any pt141
English
Low. 100-200mcg. And it may kick in early but it may take hours. The effects seem to last the better part of 24 to 36 hours but it doesn’t make you horny, it doesn’t raise libido, but it does make you have, for lack of a better way to put it, an itch that wants to be scratched so that leads to good things.
English
We’re about to try pt-141 for the first time. And dosing advice?

My wife told me she’s ready to be my lab rat. It’s on.

I'm mid 30s and 1 year ago my total T was 243 and free T was 4.3.
I started TRT on 6/13/2025 and later added Proviron, low dose HGH and a short cycle of Anavar.
Nothing remotely crazy but certainly in the realm of PEDs.
My health has improved significantly, I wrote a post about it a while back.
But beyond that, I am now a significantly better Husband, father, friend, etc.
I have become slightly more disagreeable at work, but my performance has improved significantly. Finished #1 of over 30 sales leaders at my organization and recently secured a 30% pay raise and promotion.
I will take every advantage I can get in this world.

PEDs aren’t just for bodybuilders and professional athletes. @enhanced_games is planning to showcase the performance enhancement value of these compounds in an Olympic style setting. But it won’t be long before the tide turns and it’s realized that PEDs aren’t just for bodybuilders and professional athletes. They’re useful and can be used safely by responsible adults who want to perform better in their own life. With very few exceptions, anabolic compounds weren’t developed for bodybuilding, or weightlifting, or sprinting, or any sport at all. Testosterone, nandrolone, oxandrolone, stanozolol, the whole AAS catalog, were synthesized for medical reasons. Muscle wasting, burn recovery, osteoporosis, hypogonadism, anemia, post-surgical recovery in frail patients, legitimate medical needs. Dianabol and Oral Turinabol are the famous outliers and were developed to give Cold War athletes a competitive edge, but that’s a short list. The rest of the catalog was found and their worth as performance enhancing compounds by athletes later, and the culture decided that’s where they all belonged. The gatekeeping around PEDs is pedantic and short sighted. These are performance enhancing compounds, and performance is not the exclusive property of someone standing on a stage in posing trunks or running a 100m heat. A 45 year old man who wants to recover from his workouts, sleep better, and still feel like himself at 70 is also a performer. So is the woman who was put on hormonal birth control and an SSRI in her twenties without real informed consent, whose HPOA is now trashed, who’s drifting into early menopause with her libido in the gutter and no energy left for herself or her family. She also shouldn’t be cut off from testosterone, supplemental estrogen, progesterone, or anything else that helps her feel, look, and perform like herself again. The data is out there and the anecdote is extensive. Used in a reasonable manner, after doing extensive homework or consulting with someone who actually knows what they’re doing, these compounds can be used safely by almost anyone who wants a real edge in their own life.

@SBakerMD There are numerous documented other benefits to glp1 drugs beyond weight loss.
English
If you go on a weight loss drug such as a GLP-1 or similar just to shed a few pounds, you will likely become psychologically dependent upon these drugs for life. If you stop and regain the weight, which almost all do, you will find it extremely difficult to lose the weight again without the drugs. You then will be forever dependent on these drugs, something you may not have considered, The folks that “hop on a cycle of Reta” to get lean for the summer are going to be stuck on these drugs for life, or at least the vast majority will. Just watch it play out!

@SavageGent__ @lt4kicks You’re not important enough to be a mascot for anything, but you are retarded
English
The locker room is a sacred place because it brings together everyone from all walks of life and beliefs for one common goal.
Calling a teammate out publicly for his political views and to get attention is nasty work.
English
@donovanreyno1ds @lt4kicks I’d state as fact that you’re retarded.
English
@lt4kicks I’d argue that supporting abhorrent/ignorant political views for publicity is also nasty work. Nobody wins here.

@BigBlueUnited How about the big mongoloid cry babies just mature and earn their millions while respecting others choices? Which is easier?

Carter isnt the only Giant that feel this way. He's just the first to make it public.
I hope Dart uses this has a growth opportunity. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. When u are supposed to be a leader of a team, u need to be mindful how your actions impact your teammates

@PerryALPHA $300k for that piece of shit? They should have asked for a refund

Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful wooden troll
Mackenzie Kelly@mkelly007
The Pease Park troll cost about $300,000 to build, funded by private donors who wanted to create something magical for Austin. And now it sits burned down. A pile of ashes surrounded by caution tape. A giant wooden troll where kids laughed, families took photos, and people stopped for a moment to enjoy something whimsical in the middle of the city… gone. It’s hard not to feel like this is symbolic of something bigger. We build beautiful things in Austin, and somehow we keep finding them destroyed. Sometimes it really feels like we just can’t have nice things anymore. #atxcouncil

Never mind about the Rolex… had no idea buying one was like buying a Ferrari, where you have to beg, jump though hoops and then buy products you don’t want to get the one you do want! 😂
thought it would be fun to own, but would much prefer to just order something on a website (like a Tesla!) and be done with it.
These retail and reseller channels make things far too time consuming
Is there a nice watch I can just… order?
@jason@Jason
I would like to purchase this @ROLEX

You hear all about “steroids bad ahhh” from people that haven’t used them.
Then you see this from guys on 500mg testosterone per week.

@a7las1984 I lost 105. There’s definitely some and it hasn’t tightened. Women don’t seem to mind or I’d probably consider having it snipped. My daughter said “daddy do you know what a 6-pack is? Well you have a 4 pack…” lol

Dudes who have lost 50+ lbs
I feel like I am getting some loose skin on my lower abs.
Only really feel it if I'm sitting down or specifically grabbing my skin for a Subq injection.
I look at guys that have lost a similar or more weight and don't notice any loose skin. How long did it take for you to feel like it tightened up?
Again, I only notice it when I'm sitting really. And visibly when I'm standing it isn't there.

@brotherdarul @KenLaCorte I don’t disagree with anything you said. But there’s a great misunderstanding (that is usually improperly tied to race) about why geographic areas (particularly the south) flipped from democrat to republican
English
@TheCurmudgeon_ @KenLaCorte The video was fairly balanced, aside from glossing some of the complexities of racial politics, and "community organizing." Less dense population tends to deal with people individually, and urban living deals with people as competing interest groups?

Why are cities liberal and rural areas conservative?
I thought I knew the answer, but discovered that it's a new phenomenon. The rural/urban divide occurred in my lifetime.

@sporadica Basically reads like an ai generated story based on Letters to Wendy by Joe Wenderoth 30+ years ago.
English
@9mmsmg Damn that’s a big step up though from the ones you posted (by at least a factor of 2). You could get an RM with that kind of scratch but a Patek is much more of an heirloom than an RM imo. If I were spending that, I’d probably just get something that’s already there like a 6263
English
Well, this is better than everything I posted below. This is the perfect watch. Rose gold, moon phase complication and classic. Works for casual or formal (rare for me) Might be allowed to purchase a Rolex from an authorized dealer if I wore it to boutique (Probably not. Total heirloom quality but also a way better watch than I should ever own.
If I sell a bunch of watches it takes away a lot of the financial burden from it. It'd just be like I was consolidating a collection. It's better to have one perfect watch than sux or seven ones you never wear.
If i sell my royal oak offshore because people are going to think it's a swatch, that eats up a significant portion.
Its not even spending money.
I'm arguing with myself right now.
9mmSMG@9mmsmg
After my Richard Mille debacle I posted about, I decided I need my first big boy watch. The closest I come in that category is a Royal Oak offshore. I want a watch I can hand down. These all cost similarly. Which of these do you like the best? 1. Patek 5168G Aquanaut 2. AP royal oak chronograph in white gold. 3. Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon in stainless steel. 4. Rolex white gold Daytona with a meteorite dial. (Yes, I'm selling a few watches to partially fund this and be responsible)
