Date: December 22nd, 2023 1:53 PM Author: Mint cheese-eating electric furnace No, the rest of it (mostly cardio) will ameliorate that, and while the threshold for growth to cause problems is relatively low, the threshold of test for it to start growing abnormally is actually quite high.

Date: December 22nd, 2023 4:29 PM Author: Mint cheese-eating electric furnace There's absolutely evidence lmao.
1. Difference in enlarged hearts as an adaptation in endurance athletes, rather than pathological hypertrophic cardiomegaly, is that the heart develops vasculature proportionally as it enlarges in response to exercise. This vasculature doesn't develop when the heart is enlarged exclusively in response to androgens, likely because angiogenesis isn't stimulated without sustained cardiovascular load.
2. Pathological cardiomegaly results in lowers contractility, meaning the heart has to work harder, at a heavier weight, to pump the same blood.
3. With already developed vasculature and continuing cardio load/stimulation, the heart isn't likely to lose contractility. In other words, as long as there's high oxygen demand to stimulate angiogenesis, the heart's preference for androgens won't cause pathological growth because the growth will be accompanied by vasculature.
Bottom line: if you're in good cardio shape and jump on test at reasonable levels, you have nothing to worry about as long as you keep running; if you want to jump on but you're worried about heart problems, get in good cardio shape first and then keep at it once you jump on. |

|
Date: December 23rd, 2023 11:24 PM Author: Mint cheese-eating electric furnace 1. No, my position the entire time.has been that the risks are low, pathological growth is pretty rare without insane doses, and cardio ameliorates that anyway. You said there was no evidence for that and I gaped you.
2. Wanna try to discuss the physiology of it or are you gonna stick with "muh heart attack" without engaging with the question at all? This shit is not hard to understand, maybe look at the data. |
|
Date: December 24th, 2023 5:14 PM Author: talented parlour Your argument makes no sense. You are talking about how doing cardio doesn't hurt the heart because it vascularizes to match the growth induced by cardio. So how can cardio produce extra vascularization to match the androgen-induced growth?
Also keep in mind that when you talk about heart enlargement etc the hazard typically eventuates during crises and not every day life. So ppl can walk around ok 99% on juice but when they get cytomegalovirus or something else that would be survivable they have no risk ceiling because their heart is already plumped up |
|
Date: December 25th, 2023 12:02 AM Author: Mint cheese-eating electric furnace Because size is the limiting factor for angiogenesis, assuming cardio stimulus is present, so the vasculature will keep up.
Would love to hear how enlarged heart increases risk of CMV death lmao; the actual issues with an enlarged heart are primarily arrhythmia and lost of contractility in the left ventricle, leading to heart failure. Cardiomegaly doesn't cause either, it simply exacerbates them because the heart has to work harder, and it usually is only concerning to cardiologists as an indication of underlying problems.
Again, guys with healthy hearts and good cardio have nothing to worry about. |

Date: December 25th, 2023 12:27 PM Author: zippy brethren as someone who would consider TRT, i want to believe this. but aren't you taking a huge leap in #3? if androgens cause new heart growth, there is no reason to think that existing healthy athletic vasculature would save you from the pathological growth from TRT (which growth occurs without accompanying healthy vasculature) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5463677&forum_id=2#47211512) |

Date: December 25th, 2023 9:43 AM Author: irradiated theatre I'd suggest correcting the lifestyle factors that are lowering your T before going to TRT because not correcting the lifestyle factors will ultimately hurt you in the long run, and the long term effects of TRT are generally not known. In addition, you do have to remain on it for life if you start.
People in the US have an extremely weird skewed view of what is "normal" for male aging. A lot of it has to do with the SAD diet and other lifestyle factors common in the US that completely decimate your health and body, including your T levels. People wrongly tend to blame "aging," but really it is about health. Low T before the age of 65-70 is often a sign that you need to make a change to your diet and lifestyle. |

Date: December 25th, 2023 6:20 PM Author: Chrome Selfie Juggernaut Unfortunately if you’ve be been on TRT for a few years it will take well more than 2 weeks of enclomiphene and even a couple months at least of hcg amd hmg (very $$$) if you want to fully have functional and sperm producing balls with stable LH/FSH
I know this from irl experience with others, personally testing it and reading tons of publications on it - also enclomiphene is potentially carcinogenic like clomid long term and really elevates estrogen way more that they thought
Not shitting on your poast and yes enclomiphene is way more chill than suicide inducing clomid for pct it’s not a super chill easy process if you’ve been on it long term (1+ yr) and want to reset. It takes a while for LH FSH receptors to stabilize again after suppression they’re finding and the retards here thinking of getting on Trt Might think it’s just a simple chill process when they might be looking at months and tens of thousands in HMG injections to get back to previous normal

My impression was based on the experience of two guys I know from the gym, one 40s and one 50s. Both said the returned to baseline inside a month, but I never saw their bloodwork so I'm going to assume they were probably wrong. |
