It can be humbling. I never bothered to learn how to snatch. The beginning of this year a new girl walked up to me. We have never spoke to each other. We just maxed out on snatches. she asked how much I snatch. I replied 155. She responded with I snatched 165 and walked away. I was like fuck I need to learn how to snatch. She has been coaching me and brought my snatch up to 215. It just took a girl to call me out on it.

That’s a hardcore exercise!

Oh trt clinic huh. Money on your estrogen is in the gutter. Get bloods
CrossFit is fun I got no problem with it. Are you pinning twice a week or on a roller coaster ride of once a week? Some people back in the day ran low dose anavar with trt and had no issues.

I attached my last labs my PCP did. I need to get labs order and schedule. I don't know if this will tell you anything.
The gym I go to runs a 8-12 week strength cycle. A typical class is 5 minutes of going through the Metcon, weightlifting, and warm up. We warm up and do about 20 minutes of strength training and then we do the Metcon. If we didn't do the strength training I don't know if I would be there. The same thing I hate about CrossFit is the same thing I like. It gets me out of my comfort area and make me do things I wouldn't do on my own.
I was pinning EOD but it was turning into a PITA. I'm currently doing twice a week on everything.
What is considered low dose for anavar? My clinic gave me 50mg for my first time. It was a capsule so I would take it once a day about 1-2 hours before the gym.
You say back in the day. Would there be a better option for me? My research made me believe anavar had the lowest side effects minus the lipid destruction.

Ive been noticing pretty severe acne breakouts on my chest during the winter only (not getting sun). I think Powerhouse is on the right track suggesting Dial. Try it, it might work! ive been using an anti bacterial soap called Hibiclens only on my chest for a couple weeks once a day and its working miracles so far. Not to be used on face or genitals as definitely do not want to get in eyes nose mouth or genitals. Strong stuff.

I will give it a try. I bought some acne wash but it has done anything for me.

Welcome to the family brotha.

Thank you. I did not know that but that makes sense on how individuals are doing labs monthly. I assumed they were doing a full panel.

You're welcome sir. If you "build your own panel" you actually get a discount for the more things you add as well. They have a hormone panel on there that has Total test, Free Teat and ultra sensitive Estradiol and it's actually a pretty good buy as well when compared to a lot of the other large panels.

Let me know if I can be of any help to you. I'm kinda a blood work nerd.

Well I just realized why I haven't been doing labs. MD Labs isn't available in my area. My doctor gave me very generic blood test...

Use Lab Corp. I just checked and Lab Corp is in Arizona according to private MD labs and it acts like it will work fine.

Sorry to bother you. I'm not figuring this out. Going through MD labs all the packages are for Quest. They don't have anything for LabCorp. I can select lab corp but they don't have any thing that would help in my situation.

Their website is weird in that once it locks in to using a lab it does not like to show options for the other lab. I despise their new website setup. I know for sure that the options are there for you in your state for lab corp but getting their site to switch labs is another story. Let`s try a different company first and see if that works for you.

In the mean time I will play around on private md labs and see if I can figure out what the deal is.

Don`t ever feel like you are bothering me bc I assure you that you are not bothering me in the slightest sir. I`m happy to help.

I'm have to look into that,looks like someone been putting out a couple cigs on my chest

I’m telling you bro, the best decision I ever made was using Acutane. I haven’t had a single pimple ever since I used it. And I always run NPP with whatever cycle I put together. I haven’t had a single issue since.

I'm about to run the same protocol you did. 20mg for 80 days.

It’s crazy how I have literally had no pimples since. I don’t even think about it until I see someone posting about acne issues. It used to be an everyday concern and using all kinds of soaps that dry your skin out. Now I use my normal body wash. I buy this all natural one with charcoal in it and it makes my skin feel really clean and it smells good.

I tried ugl stuff for a few weeks,not long enough,went to dermatologist, the gave me doxycline,lotion and ointments and cleansers

I’ve heard mixed reviews about doxy. I’ve never personally tried it. Hopefully it works out. If not it takes about 3 weeks to start seeing a difference with Acutane. Then you get a purge, (one last fuck you breakout). Then after that it was gone. I stayed on it for the remainder of the 80 days and it’s never came back.

I gotta get back on that. I had really bad acne as a kid and into my mid 20s. Got on accutane and it got rid of it. Now I'm almost 43 and the shit is coming back on my arms and chest like I'm fucking 14. Sucks. And I'm only running test 300mg right now haha.. I'm gonna be a mess when I start running NPP.

Yeah I never had acne before gear. But NPP seemed to be the one that threw me over the top. Test would give me sporadic shoulder and back acne. But man, NPP would be like an acne explosion. I’m on 750mg sust and 300 NPP right now and I’ve not had a single issue. I used PSL accutane and I can personally speak of its quality.

Hello, I'm a 39-year-old fitness enthusiast who's been active both inside and outside the gym since high school. I've been on and off with CrossFit for the past 6 years, but I've been consistently dedicated to it for the last 2 years (please be kind; we all have our moments!). I've decided to join this forum to further educate myself about performance enhancement.

Recently, I made the choice to go enhanced due to the toll life has taken on my body. Currently, I stand at 5'10" and weigh 220lbs, with an estimated body fat percentage of 15-20%. My current protocol includes 200mg of test c, 50mg of nandrolone, and 0.5mg of semaglutide. I've also experimented with supplements like BPC-157 pills (which didn't yield the desired results) and 50mg of anavar (which I found amazing, though not without its drawbacks. Craps!).

I'm facing challenges with nandrolone, experiencing acne issues on my shoulders. I'm here to learn from your experiences and insights. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I found out how to get MD Labs to give me a blood panel from lab corps. But it starts at $450. Looking at the link you sent me is this the two panels I am looking at purchasing. Do you have feedback on my selection? I want to check lipids because I never did post blood work after anavar. Thanks for the help.

Yes sir lab corp is very expensive. I would most certainly use the other site if it allows you to go through quest. Your selection looks good there are a couple things. You are on Testosterone right now correct? A normal testosterone test is likely going to cap out at 1500 in which case if your total test is higher than 1500 it will just say greater than 1500. If you get a Testosterone LC/MS then it will give you a true number regardless as to how high it is. Similarly if your estrogen is low it won`t give you a true number and may say less than 30 etc as to where LC/MS will give you a true and more accurate number. Now, the trade off is that LC/MS tests take longer to get results back to you..

DHEA is a great thing to check and I think we should all check it but it`s one of those things that does not need checked very often. Once a year or so would be fine unless you are having low dhea symptoms. If you have checked yours and it`s fine then I see no need to check it again now. However if you have not checked it then I think it`s a good idea. Your selection would be fine. I just wanted to make you aware of the things I mentioned about caps etc. I`ll link the LC/MS tests below so you are aware of them. Side note unrelated to you but more so for your future knowledge and for other readers: If you are on tren you need to get an estrogen ultra sensitive bc tren can give a false reading and show up as estrogen on an estrogen test that is not the ultra sensitive.

Does that help? What other questions do you have sir?

Test LC/MS Testosterone, Free, Bioavailable and Total, LC/MS/MS

Estrogen LC/MS Estradiol, Ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS

Edit: I just realized I just repeated my self like an old man bc I already talked about a bunch of this in another post in this thread My bad. I post in different threads then forget which one I said what in at times. I`m kinda sick atm so that doesn`t help or maybe I am just getting old

Right on. I am thinking Dial way more common and likely cheaper so when Hibiclens is done may give that a shot. That Hibiclens stuff is pretty awesome.

I've been on TRT for a year now. I have done two blood test because they make it hard. I'm not smart. I don't know what panels I should be selecting. A doctor with great service is going to let me me know how well he is going to take care of me and order the draw and schedule the time and place.
The last clinic I was at did that but was 200 dollars a mounth. Any ways, labs have been order. Hopefully they don't empty my bank account.
Back to you....I take 25mg of nandrolone x2. 100mg test c x2 a week. And 1.1mg of semaglutide. I plan on running anavar again.
Thank for the help. If it doesn't make sense I will clean it up in the morning. So tire

I definitely feel you on the being tired thing. I'm about to crash my self.

Your lab panel order looks good

If you want to take a peak at the numbers when you get your result just tag me or DM me. Rather you post it on the forum or DM it just make sure you black out your personal info

Don't be so hard on your self. None of us learned this stuff overnight. I work in Healthcare which gave me an advantage when I started learning about all this. Helping people such as your self is a big reason this community is here.

Welcome to ASF!

What does your estrogen management look like? Have you had blood work done to know if you need an AI (aromatase inhibitor) or not? Are you taking an AI?

Nandrolone upregulates the aromatase enzyme so while the drug it`s self does not convert to estrogen very much (around 20% when compared to testosterone) it will make your test convert more estrogen. The acne problem could be high estrogen and it could be low estrogen. The low estrogen route would be if you are taking an AI just to take it and not doing blood work to see what your estrogen level is You can buy bloodwork your self online then go to a lab corp or quest to have it drawn. There are a couple states that have seen fit to make this illegal though so assuming you do not live in one of those states you could do it

Let`s get some more information and see what we can figure out for you sir

I have a friend who works at Blue Cross Bullshit Shield...she told me 80% of her onboarding/training was in the proper way to refuse a claim. The unwritten policy is to refuse any and all claims on the first pass...where possible.
The company counts on at least 30% of those people just giving up and paying the bill themselves.

I know.....I'm sorry brother If I knew away around it I'd work my ass off to make it work for you guys in those states.

If you are middle class or higher the Healthcare system is just fucked. The only people who do okay are the low income earners who qualify for medicaid. To be clear I'm in no one way shitting on those low income people. Just stating a fact.
