When you guys order your own labs, which tests are you running? I’d assume that you want:
Total test
Free test
Estradiol (standard, sensitive, what to get?)
SHBG
CBC for hematocrit
Anything else?

I've been using LoseIt daily for 3 years. You can usually get a year subscription of the premium version for about $10 during holidays, which could be an option with the 4th coming up.
I did try out MacroFactor for a month last year, and it is great. The AI feature is awesome and I found it to be accurate.
LoseIt premium has a similar AI feature, but it doesn't work as well as MacroFactor.

Why would you only add 2.4mL of BAC to a 29mg vial? Add 2.9mL
Its not like the vials tested one at 24mg and another at 29mg and there was some wild variance. All four that were tested were near 29mg.

For anyone that purchased retatrutide from the Nexaph pre-sale that I posted a while back, the third party testing results are in.
• Average fill across 4 test vials is 29.3mg per vial with a purity of 99.8%
• Endotoxins are <5EU per vial
• Sterility is clean
Congrats to anyone that purchased one of these kits. You have a clean product and 50 extra milligrams of reta for free.

Coquette's blind tasting menu used to be the best deal in town. Five course blind tasting was $90 and then another $40 wine pairing.
Miss those days.

re: Max number of dips you can do in one set right now? Just body weight and gravity.

Any good videos for form?
I've watched some, but I can't seem to get my form down. When I do dips, I'll tweak my shoulder about 50 percent of the time. I won't feel it until a few hours after doing the dips.

What do you guys do for bloat? I started TRT on May 4th and since then, I'm holding on to more than 5 pounds of water according to my scale.
No issues with the belt. I do apply some lubricant every few weeks. Only issue is that you control it with a remote, and sometimes you have to click it a couple times before it gets going, but that’s minor.
I bought a TREAFLOW on Amazon a couple of years ago. It goes up to 4 mph and has something like a 6% incline. It was around $100 and works just fine.
A family member has one. The cocktails are ok. Certainly not as good as something that you can make yourself.

Winemaking is about the viticulture moreso than the process, am i right?
Its kind of like cooking. Brewing beer is like preparing a nice home cooked meal where you have control over the ingredients and process. Home wine making is like making boxed mac n cheese.
quote:
I was reading you want to ferment between 65-75
From what I remember, this is right. I seem to remember fermentation being similar to ale fermentation temps.
I've done a few kits. Four reds, one white and one rose. The rose was the best, drinkable in about 6 months. The white, a chardonnay, was fine, but it didn't have the buttery character that I would have liked because of the lack of malolactic fermentation.
The reds, honestly, were just ok. The more expensive kits ($180+) were better, but none of the 4 were good. I aged them up to 3 years, and they were just ok. If I do another wine kit, it will be a white.
You have to keep in mind that the grape juice that you get in these kits is not coming from good wine regions, so you as a "wine maker" have no control over the viticulture part of the wine making process.
With all that said, I think it is worth doing at least once.
Not much of your homebrew equipment will carry over. Your hydrometer, air locks, and auto-siphon are about it. Your standard 5-6 gallon carboy will be too small. You will need a 7 gallon fermentation bucket since the kits make 6 gallons of wine. You will yield 28-30 bottles.
Also, if you think you might want to make more than one batch, get a floor corker. The hand corkers suck.

So are all the Reta suppliers being shut down or what?
Nexaph has a 24mg Reta pre-sale starting tomorrow. They have it listed as NXP-3P. You will need to make an account to access the pre-sale. No price yet, but I would expect a kit to run around $300-350, so $30-35 per vial.
I ordered a 30 mg kit of tirzepatide during a pre-sale in February for $195. Third party testing showed the average mass to be 36 mg per vial, so in the end, it was 54 cents per milligram. Hard to beat these prices other than ordering straight from China. Also, the jano testing showed low endotoxins and clean sterility with purity above 99%.

What were your starting total T and free T numbers when they prescribed?
Total is 409 ng/dL and free is 66.4 pg/mL.

They also prescribed 12.5 mg of Enclomiphene Citrate taken MWF
What was the reason for this?
I forgot exactly what he said, but it had something to do with trying to preserve some testicular function. However, I think I was just upsold.

Finally booked an appointment with an online TRT clinic. I went with Nuform Health because there pricing was good and they have great reviews on Trustpilot. They are prescribing test cyp 200mg/week split into two shots. They also prescribed 12.5 mg of Enclomiphene Citrate taken MWF and Anastrozole at 0.5 mg twice per week. Dr said that he was adding the Anastrozole because my labs showed that my estradiol is at 37 pg/mL and that it may double once I am on the TRT. After reading this thread, it seems as though I should avoid taking this unless I am having certain symptoms?
Dr said that the goal is to get my total T into the 1000-1200 range. He asked me if I wanted the moderate or aggressive approach, which was 160mg and 200mg, respectively. Is 200mg/week a high starting dose? It seems that most start at 100-150mg.

Force USA
I bought the Force USA G12 and could not be happier with it. It was a "buy once, cry once" purchase, but my wife and I love the machine. We added a set of plate weights and the bench with preacher curl pad and leg developer. The plates are fine, but I would not recommend the bench. It is pretty big and heavy. It has wheels but my wife still struggles to move it around.

GHK-Cu - this won't help with hair color, but will help with fuller hair. Takes several months to see results. You should see skin tightening in 6-8 weeks.
Ipamorelin will also help with skin tightening.
If you are trying to get rid of wrinkles, you could try snap 8, but I haven't experimented with that one yet.

For peptides, I've been using Nexaph. Other than buying straight from China, they have the best prices that I have seen. They also have a great 3rd party testing community on Telegram.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a PPSA program that has more of a chest and back emphasis?
