Earlier quoted context omitted.

You mentioned liver health. Have you looked at the state of your liver before starting the regime? AST/ALT/Ferritin etc.

I didn't, partially because a liver panel is like $350 and I have no reason to think my liver is anything but healthy. I'm injecting the testosterone directly and not using orals. Injecting it doesn't really have a reputation of being hard on your liver - orals do though. I mean they both do have an effect on your liver but it's not really the focus of all the material I've read on injection (which does advise strong…

What about transdermal cream?

I am interested in the domain too, but I never pulled the trigger on the exogenous T.

I am at 600 but that means nothing because there's also the SHBG value and the T/Estradiol ratio and the T/DHT ratio , but most importantly the density of the AR receptors in the muscle fibers.

So somebody can be golden with T at 300 , whereas somebody else might need 950.

In any event I wanted to try and improve my T number via winning physical fights.

I started taking steroids two weeks ago. 500mg/week testosterone. They haven't even really kicked in yet (takes about 3 weeks to get really testosterone levels up) but I'm feeling real good and I'm really excited with all the weight gain I've had so far this year. I started at around 155 in June and today I'm up to 180. A lot of it is water weight I'm sure but I'm excited to hit over 200 in the next 5 months of my fi…

How long have you been training pre-steroids?

I posted on a thread about burnout back in May about quitting my job[1] after nine years, this seems like an invitation to post an update. I used the time off to travel around in a van, hiking, eating, camping, and visiting friends. I'm now back in the city and catching up all of the life stuff that I put on hold for the pandemic and / or travel -- minor remodeling, maintenance, friends I didn't really get to see dur…

Any surprises you wish you had planned better for?

If you are in the US, what did you do for health insurance?

What are you hoping is different outside of Fintech? Or do you just feel like it is time for a change?

I run a website that shows immigrants how to settle in Berlin. These days I'm thinking of codifying more things, so that people could fill a form and get answers instead of reading a long article. For example, a simple calculator that replaces pages and pages of information. I made a German health insurance calculator last week that saves a lot of reading and gives accurate results. Aside from that, I'm building a ti…

What's the website?

These days it's mostly adding more data, though my colleague Simon helpfully suggested some GUI redesign, and having an auto-linkback to the YouTube videos would be convenient.

From this past week, discussing the touch-sensitive power button on our embedded system at work:
