I would rather take a more bio-identical approach if I were to do a TRT regimen.
I look at testosterone and think "that hormone is supposed to be in our bodies... we probably know how to regulate the actions of it a little easier than anything else. It knows where to, and if I get sides, I know how to handle them safely."
I look at all other gear and think "Our body must be confused as fuck trying to find homeostasis with this alien hormone altering it in ways it wasn't designed to alter".
Don't be me wrong, I'm not afraid of other gear... I just never seem okay with using them for too long myself.
If I were an old fella in a country in which this legal, I'd rather do something like...
300mg test/wk
5mg Aromasin ED
HCG (at a very low dose a few times per week)
GH 2-3iu ED
Palumbo was talking about TRT being safe at 600mg/week on his last episode of Heavy Muscle Radio.
He also spoke of a possible new sponsor that might handle blood work for bodybuilders looking to stay in good health. There actually was a doctor that either he or Carl Lenore had on the radio who does this... I wonder if it's the same guy.
