Hi everybody, I hope all you guys are doing great. Can anyone tell me how my dad can get prescribed TRT from a doctor? He is around 50 years old and gained alot of weight recently. I am pretty sure he has low test and would benefit from taking replacement therapy dose. He injured his back(herniated disc) in his 30s so he can't lift weights or run. I am trying to get him to do some cycling so he can loose weight but I think TRT would most definitely help since he has low energy levels and sleepy all the time. Since, I am a steroid user I can easily get him to use one of my vials of test and he knows about my steroid use. But he does not want me to give him test, he is scared because he could get enlarged prostate or prostate cancer. I also think its better that he goes to the doctor, what do you guys think ?

Hello from SusanKing 26, from UK.

Hi, I am in my early twenties and a relative beginner who has only been going to the gym for a few months. I am an average weight for my height/age - 73kg and 181cm. I know many of you here are very experienced and knowledgeable with a lot of wisdom regarding gym-going, so I would really very much appreciate it if you could have a look at my goals & plan and make any comments or suggestions. GOALS: I'm not aiming to be a bodybuilder, I just want to have some decent visible muscle on my upper body and flatten out my belly/abs. Think more Brad Pitt in Fight Club as opposed to The Rock. I can only commit 2-days-per-week to the gym (usually Monday and Friday). I know this isn't ideal, but it's the reality of my schedule. I know this may take a lot longer to get to my ideal physique, but I'm willing to play the long game and hopefully keep it at that level throughout my life. I will also go a run 1-day-per-week for cardio, and I go regular walks, and hiking in the mountains on average once a month. CURRENT WORKOUT ROUTINE: I do this same workout every time I go to the gym. This is the correct order in which I do it. I know I would be better changing it up completely every so often, but I find it very difficult to learn full new workouts/routines/form etc. Ideally I'd like to keep as much the same as possible. 1.) Abs: All of this TWICE [25 crunches, 15 sit ups, 30 raised leg crunches, 30 crunches with leg extension, 44 alternating heel touches, 50 scissor kicks (criss cross), 50 scissor kicks (up & down), 30 russian twists with 9kg kettlebell, 44 mountian climbers, 44 mountain climbers (2nd time)] 2.) 3 x 15 [30kg] Barbell Squats 3.) 2 x 10 Assisted Pull Ups (20kg counterweight on machine so bodyweight minus 20kg [approx 53kg lifed]) 4.) 2 x 10 Assisted Dips (20kg counterweight on machine so bodyweight minus 20kg [approx 53kg lifted]) (I try to focus more on tricep dips) 5.) 2 x 10 Assisted Chin Ups (20kg counterweight on machine so bodyweight minus 20kg [approx 53kg lifted]) 6.) 2 x 10 [12kg per dumbbell] Standing Dumbbell Shoulder Press/Military Press 7.) 2 x 10 [12kg per dumbbell] Standing Dumbbell Curls 8.) 2 x 10 [16kg per dumbbell] Dumbbell Bench Press 9.) 2 x 10 [Approx 28kg] Cable/Rope Tricep Extension/Tricep Pushdown 10.) Abs: 60seconds front plank, 30 seconds side plank (right), 30 seconds side plank (left) DIET: Immediately after each gym workout I eat approximately 35g protein (in 130g chicken with 4 slices of wholegrain bread sandwiches), a 15g protein protein bar, and an apple. Every morning for breakfast I have 2 Weetabix with some musili, branflakes, a banana and about 30g mixed nuts. The rest of the week I don't consume protein products specifically but have a fairly healthy and balanced diet with a mixture of meat, carbs, fruit and vegetables. My diet isn't perfect but is reasonably healthy. What I am pretty much looking for is literally any suggestions to improve this workout routine (or diet) and achieve my goals as specified above, within the confines of my schedule. Any comments or suggestions or answers are welcome, no matter how critical, I don't mind. If you think my full plan/strategy is completely wrong then I am happy with this and glad you have told me. Thank you very much in advance for all your help. Cheers, Stephen.

Hey, I know many of you are UK residents. I was curious as to what the police are like there. I'm an American, and I'm sure you all get the same internet headlines that we Americans do. So, you know what we as Americans have to deal with on a daily basis. The latest incident in Dallas has me especially upset. Are UK cops as vicious as American cops? I saw an hour long episode of a television show someone uploaded to YouTube once. It was basically a UK version of COPS. I think it was called Police Interceptors, but I'm not sure. Anyway, there were many interactions between UK police and citizens. Some were heated and involved violence e.g. tackling, some thrown fists, etc. Once, they had to call out a special taser squad to bring out a taser and subdue someone. In another situation, they had to bring out a special firearms squad and use an automatic weapon to address a situation. Throughout all of what I saw, though, I was amazed at how civilized and cordial the police seemed. They just seemed so polite, even when they had to get rough. Now, I know that things very well may be different when there are no cameras. So, just how nasty do UK cops get? Do they plant drugs? Lie on reports? Lie under oath in court? Beat you unnecessarily? Kill you unnecessarily? Also, how do UK citizens feel about their police in general? In America the police are largely hated. Some people support them, usually because they are related to a police person, are one themselves, hope to be one one day, or are just naive. Though, the general consensus is that police are dangerous and you should keep your distance.

Hello people, Really need some help, I'm sick and tired of having sides on cycle related to my estrogen being too high and too low! And guessing whether I'm high or low. Im always hearing everywhere online saying get my blood works done. Thing is I've have looked everywhere!!! Seems getting bloods done in the UK for personal experimentation and steroid use is illegal or something :/ I asked my doctor, he said no hes not gonna use NHS money to feed my drug addiction ( what a d**k! ) I went to Nuffield health and they said I need to have a consultation before hand. That cost me £230 and still no blood work done. Looked online can't really find anything. Really needs these done! So does anyone in the UK know where i can just simply walk into a clinic say what I want checked, give them how ever much money and get it done and get the results back, happy days! Then i know what my levels are so then I can get working with my AI dosing correctly. Many thanks! I live in the south of the UK so suggestion of places up north aren't much use but if you have an idea. Would be great to hear.
