Local Lurker Exposes Self to Muscle Men

[manbat]

Howdy, all.

Been creeping around and obsessively reading 10 year old threads for a good while now, figured I should finally make an intro post.

Dropped my pharma TRT after a year @ 100mg/wk in favor of being in control of my own dosage. Been running 200mg/wk Test E, 2IU/day GH and 7.5mg/wk Tirz as my cutting stack for about a month, seeing really solid results and never felt better. Gonna get bloods done in a couple of weeks, and assuming everything is good continue with this protocol until January, then hopefully I’ll be low enough bf% to start a cycle in earnest.

I am always happy to learn new things and try to approach everything with an open mind. I look forward to blasting illicit substances into my ass meat with you guys in the name of gains and science. If anyone has questions, feel free.

Welcome to MESO! Good to see you here. Quite a nice back and forth between MESO and SST lately.

Thanks! High praise from the man himself. And what can I say, I’m addicted lol. I’m about a year into a budding career in medicine and the pharmacology bug bit the hell out of me. I bounce between forums, google, and Reddit during all my free time. Still have a ton to learn but I’m happy to have found this place.

I’m actually glad you replied here, I’ve been meaning to ask you if you had any personal recommendations on starting points for drilling down on AAS/endocrinology in terms of reading material. My texts go over the basics of pharmacodynamics/kinetics, but mostly in the context of “oh shit, your patient is dying, what do you give them and why does it work?”

Thread 'Oxandrolone lowered total testosterone 36% while on TRT?'

Aug 9, 2025

I got an unexpected total testosterone blood test result while on 6 weeks of oxandrolone at 25mg/day. My TRT is 140mg/week.

	Baseline	6 weeks 25mg Oxandrolone
Total Test	1113	697
Free Test	26	25
E2	32	39
SHBG	28	11

Both the TRT and oxandrolone are pharma prescribed by a doctor. I don't think oxandrolone is supposed to drop total test when on TRT so what could cause the big drop?

Awesome, thank you. I’ll keep these bookmarked for when I finally get some sleep and can comprehend big boy words again.
