@scott2511 It's all a matter of weighing the pros and the cons I think if you have some symptoms. It seems like most people are happy they did it, symptoms or not but you will see cases where people go off because it either doesn't work for them or there are side effects they can't accept (hair...

@sam1978 I'm curious in general how are you coming up with what zone 2 is for you? I run regularly and just run without much regard. Basically, there seem to be a bunch of ad-hoc 'zone 2' things which give me different ranges and I haven't done a vo2 test to say for sure. Using some methods...

@scott2511 I tested just after I turned 45. I had no symptoms of low T, but came back slightly low (290). I had done this through one of the big online TRT places where by all accounts they would happily prescribe it for me. I really wrestled with if I should do it or not but ultimately...

@swc1293 I find it easiest to just go for 1 gram per pound and not worry about lean mass etc. The range broadly suggested is between 0.8-1.2. The second point is not accurate really, or at least it's not that simple. A recent study showed that your body can absolutely make use of more than 30...

@becksblue I would ask the doctor, but at the time I had mine I was doing jiu-jitsu 7+ hours a week, took a week off and was fine.

@purdella I saw this article recently about a 93 year old who took up rowing in his 70s, and who scientists studied because he's such a crazy good athlete for his age. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2024/01/16/fitness-aging-richard-morgan/ He does an average of 40 minutes a day, 70%...

@dawn16 While I don’t disagree with this entirely (watch Dr Mike react to celebrity trainers), I would say guys just are more likely to believe they can do it themselves as good or better. The reality is that it seems based on so many questions that pop up here, that people that figure they can...

@newbeginning1996 I do warmup sets, and then I have largely followed 531 type programs where the first two main sets are relatively low weights.

@messagesoflove Just not even having them in my presence is the main thing.

@ttcmacro I hurt my back, lifting boxes at age 30. I actually never went to the doctor because it came and went. I would tweak it and be barely able to walk for a few days and then fine for months until I had to lift or move something again. Years ago I started jiu-jitsu and made a point to...

@rhettryder Going to go piece by piece of what you've said here. I do not do fad diets, I don't radically change my diet when I'm cutting. Simply cutting out the worst things are enough for me to go into a deficit. Then, I guess with age comes the realization that 2 months is nothing. I...

@christdisciple I can't explain the motivation really. I have my workouts I want to fit into my week, and for whatever reason, that's enough. I will say I never regret it after I do a workout even if it is after 9 PM. Like others have said, sleep can be messed with although for me it varies...
