Hello all!
This is my 1st post, I was looking for a FAQ, but did not find any consolidated information. So – sorry if the questions I am asking are too basic, but any info is appreciated.
Some background. I’m 34, 182lb, 6’, 23% body fat. I had two ligament tears in 1 year, which got me thinking in the direction of a widespread muscular-skeletal problem, and eventually looking at my T. level. My T. came back at 222NG/DL total, 7.5pg/ml free, then 6 weeks later at 504ng/dL total, 100.8 pg/ml free. I did not take any T. in the meantime. I am still flabbergasted at such a vast difference and wondering if the lab screwed up.
My goal is to get my T. to a normal level to fix any bone/ligament issues, and get leaner and meaner as a bonus.
Anyway, I have a supply of prescription oral Testosterone, 50mg tabs. I was thinking of starting a 50mg/day regiment.
Questions:
1. I’ve heard that cardio is highly discouraged while on T. I play ice hockey about 4 times/week, which gets my heart going at the max rpm for my age for 13-16 minutes per game. Should I stay away from this kind of extreme cardio while I am on T, to avoid growing my hart to an incredible size?
2. T. and alcohol – I am taking an all-inclusive vacation in about 3 weeks. I plan to continue working out, but I know I won’t resist the temptation of throwing a few (or more) back. Thoughts?
3. T. and coffee – coffee gets your heart going, so back to question #1.
4. Recommendations on the dosage and cycle timing. What to do when coming off? I was thinking of taking 50mg orally for ??? I don’t know how long.
5. The T. package says “discard after 2/7/2007”. Should I believe that? Are the tabs going to spoil?
6. T. and Viagra. Heart problems? Thoughts?
Any insights are appreciated.
