@First-light It's pretty shocking. Some pro bodybuilder from the U.S. got hauled in and tested. I can't believe the men there havd let it get to this point. Perhaps they'll wake up. I would never go there. I have trained for 40+ years and have had prominent veins since my teens. They'd haul me in if I wore short sleeves.
@redpillschool I can't get on with wifi. At all.
Using mobile data now, but I don't have the hours of free time I did this morning to experiment with the site to see if everything is working correctly and to reply to shit going back to last week.
@SeasonedRP I saw a funny thing on Utube where an already quite muscular guy got a very good muscle suit the size that would really only be an enhanced physique and then went through Swedish border control wearing it just to prove that they would give him a hard time and search him and his bags for anabolics (because the idea that adult men could do what they like with their own bodies really upsets the Swedes). Sure enough they did.
Sweden is a misandrist cuck country. In Sweden if a chick says "I want to be a dude because otherwise I will be unhappy but I am not big and hairy enough" they give her all the hormones she wants for free. But if if guy says "I am feeling really unhealthy unhappy and weak" They say no. They probably just tell him to get used to being a man.
Read More@Bozza You can have the tren, my friend. I have never had a desire to try it, and at my age, overall health is more important. My background is in powerlifting, and even enhanced lifters I knew kept things pretty basic. Tren wasn't common. I've heard it is quite effective, though.
@First-light It is bizarre at first glance how the medical establishment has no interest in treating low testosterone, but isn't surprising on reflection. I've heard that in Sweden, which is openly anti-male, medical providers simply won't treat it without men going through all sorts of hoops. Presumably, women who want to be boss chicks can get all they want.
The clinics here can be good but are pricey. Good ones look at everything, not just testosterone (e.g., thyroid, growth hormone, lipids). But it is fairly cheap and easy here for someone to do it himself. Good move on your part to stock up. I've heard it's easy to make your own.
@Bozza When you consider that the average healthy male produces 42 to 49 mg of test a week and 70 is the usual natural ceiling, you seem good evidence that even at high doses Test is not the bogey man the left would say it is.
Misandry is quite deep in our culture.
I think when it comes to risk taking dopamine is a huge contributor. Getting a large dopamine reward for a risk taking behaviour makes risk basically a drug. I think it shows up quite well with what cabergoline can do to change someone's risk taking personality. But also when you just think about the kind of guy who naturally gets/ craves plenty of dopamine, that life and soul of the party guy, craving stimulation, he does seem to naturally take quite a lot of risks in life.
The more I learn about testosterone, the more I tend to think that men probably behave better in society with levels in the high normal range as well as being more productive.
As a man who has taken TRT/Anabolics for years, I can tell you hormone levels have a much more complex relationship with behaviour than is usually portrayed/understood.
The usual portrayal is - more testosterone = more aggression, risk taking etc. - which isn't really the case.
Personally, I'm not hugely affected by testosterone levels. The difference between 600mg/wk and 200mg/wk isn't hugely distinguishable for me. I feel no real difference between those doses.
At lower levels of test, yes - the impact can be pretty profound in terms of lethargy etc.
Estrogen on the other hand is a very powerful hormone in my experience. At higher doses of test, without anti-estrogen, the effects become very apparent - random crying, paranoia, other stereotypically "female" behaviours.
Tren is a good example. Extremely powerful anabolic (500x more potent than test) which I've taken multiple times. Sometimes it makes me extremely aggressive. Other times it's had little to no impact at all.
I'm convinced dopamine, serotonin etc also play a huge factor.

And... that's IT! That's the entirety of the message. I marvel at how low the clients' ROI must sit.
I'm speaking as someone who made and placed print ads for my business back in the day. I read through a stack of college level textbooks on advertising and marketing. It's like today, all of that accumulated wisdom got hucked out the window by even big ad firms with high dollar clients making massive media buys.
have you had any extra-long, unskippable ads lately? Was busy offline for a few days there, then the site had posting issues.
No, the bigger channels I watch have been sandwiching a long form but skippable ad between 2 shorter ones at the beginning of a podcast lately though.
What blows me away, is the apparent loss of decades worth of advertising wisdom and practice in the past couple of years.
It's fundamental, to make your prospect see your product, then to induce in them a desire to buy it. This is still possible within the dominant 10 or 15 second formats that prevail today.
However, ad after ad after ad, just gives a burst of noise and a blur of rapidly changing imagery, then it's gone leaving the viewer thinking, "What the fuck was THAT???" No idea what the product even is, no attempt to make me think I need or want it; just a mimicking of 10 second Tiktok bits trying to act Too Cool for School.
