A minivan would be more practical than what you are using the mustang for.

You might be well served by ordering some snus from Sweden - I think I've seen 120mg pouches on there. There is some OTer that rocks those, can't remember who.

Smokeless tobacco has a shitload of instantly absorbed nicotine vs cigarettes. Like 40mg per dip vs 5mg for a Marlboro red

That would be true for most trad wives but she has enough money to raise and support those kids. It's not her job, nor was it her husband's intent for women to lead men.

re: Need Info on TRT

Posted by rooster108bm on 12/10/25 at 8:09 am to riverdiver

I'm 57 now was 55 when I started with total test at 320. Started at 100mg a week and that raised me to the mid 600s but around the fourth day I would start to crash. He raised it to 150mg per week and that put me in the high 700s. Then went to 200mg week split into 2 shots and that got me in the low 1000s but my hematocrit was high.

I now do 40mg every other day which comes out at 140mg a week but still keeps me in the low 1000s.

Keep in mind that this is 12 weeks to 6 months between dosage cahnges/labs.

There is no set dosage that works for everyone and it takes time to get it optimized to how your body will respond.

At your age and level you shouldn't have problems getting treated especially with symptoms. Some doctors refuse to treat it if in range though.

My pcp wouldn't treat me but referred me to his endocrinologist that he uses for his trt.

Some doctors are way behind in modern trt and do stupid shite like one big dose every two or three weeks. If you get one of those RUN.

Generally, you want to start with a lower dose ,check labs and adjust as needed.

I've found i can inject eod and actually use less testosterone than a weekly or bi weekly schedule and keep my levels in the same range. It also keeps my hematocrit and hemoglobin in range.

Both playoff situations. Only difference is. coach at both schools instead of coach at one and coordinator at the other and he couldn't handle that.

I think Saban advised him to take the job.

If Saban thinks Ole Miss should let him coach he's being hypocritical because he fired him for not being able to concentrate on his duties as a coordinator at Alabama when he took the FAU job

There is no such thing as “charcoal flavor”

Actually there is. Kingsford briquettes have coal dust in them and that has aromatic chemicals that provide some flavor.

Cleaner burn. And a lot less ash. And better flavor.

You ain't getting no flavor out of any lump other than the meat and whatever seasoning you put on it. Lump is cooked at such a high temp/low oxygen environment that it cooks all the moisture/flavor out of it. It's basically pure carbon.

Correct. The prices are never going back to 2019 levels. The only thing that will combat the inflation that has already occurred is increasing wages.

^^^^ this in a nutshell is the consumers understanding of inflation.

A case of beer pre 2019 was say $16 and since 2020 it's been $24.

It's still $24 in 2025 and it's correct to say inflation is zero but if that consumers wages have not risen they are still feeling the effect regardless of the formula politicians use to say we have no inflation.

That's true. It also doesn't refute what I posted.
