Pure whey concentrate or isolate powder doesn't taste bad and it's the best way to consume it. Unlike flavored brands, which add flavoring specific to specific serving sizes, you don't have that problem with pure whey concentrate or isolate and you can use as much as you like and add your own flavors. There's a big selection on Lazada.

They would not accept my Australian Paypal to block ads in Thailand. A workaround - turn off ad blockers to view some ads, then switch them back on and you'll be good to go without ads for a week or more until they block you again, then rinse and repeat. I've been watching ad-free for over a month using this method.

It has nothing to do with law. It's a procedural policy of Jomtien immigration. I posted about this in September, including photos of the requirements at the report desk, but I closed the thread due to too many "why don't you report online" comments, insults, and ensuing arguments. Everything needs to be turned into an argument here.

The best way to grow muscle when you're old, (say 60+) is neither Arnold's nor Mike Mentzer's way. Both men stopped competitive bodybuilding by age 30 (with the exception of the 1980 Mr. Olympia when Arnold was 32. He came out of retirement in 1975 to compete in it. You can't train the same way in your 60s as you could in your 20s. If you try to train HIT, even if still young, you're going to get some serious injuries at some point. It's a sh*t way to train at any age. Arnold's high-volume training leaves much to be desired too as it contains too much junk (excessive) volume. That's what people do when they are young. The rules for 60+ training: 1. Don't get injured 2. Get results For young trainers: 1. Get results 2. Try not to get injured. When you're young, an injury might inconvenience you for a few weeks. When you're old, it could mess up your training permanently.

Perhaps he didn't want to rent it to you, and it was his way of dissuading you?

Lifting heavy is not the way you should be training when you're in your 60s. Training smart, using lighter weights to work the muscles hard in a higher rep range, and considering safety first is the way to do it. It's very easy to make lighter weights feel heavy and not risk injury. Once a month is not the way to do it as I've repeated ad nauseam. It's a disgrace that doctors recommend this, just to help people avoid regular injections. They probably don't know any better. You'll end up with levels too high for a few days to a week, and then too low for the rest of the month. Bear in mind that the monthly 250 mg injections have already shut down your own production completely, so you'll have levels of a girl for much of the month with no production of your own. Frequent low-dose injections will more closely mimic the body's natural production. I would venture to say that once a month is worse than nothing at all. It's pointless. I need to stress that I'm talking about TRT here, not PED for sports. I'm not surprised when I hear about powerlifters and weightlifters having heart attacks when they get older. I've known a few people who died too, and some not very old. Most are very unfit, resting for most of their workouts between heavy lifts. That's a lot of stress on the heart, with little circulatory benefits. If there's an arterial blockage somewhere, you might be toast on a heavy lift one day. If your blood pressure is high, the chances are even greater. Low to moderate-intensity cardio is important when you get older. Personally, I split my weekly exercise regime to about 50% cardio, and 50% weights. The weights are moderate, in the 8 - 25 rep range. It's still hard work, but lighter with a focus on how the muscle is working rather than how much it is lifting. If you've been lifting weights for 50 years as I have, you'll discover there's no way around it - you're going to get weaker with age, whether you're on TRT or not. The TRT and smart exercise just slow down the deterioration.

He just wasted a whole year of training as he tore his hamstring a few weeks ago just before the Mr Olympia contest last weekend. He was predicted to be in the top 3 and possibly the winner.

I had a bad case of onychomycosis on my toes and fingers. It all started at the same time about a year ago. The fingernails have only just started to appear normal, but I still have some melanonychia on a few fingers. The big toenails grow slower, so that will take some time. They are about halfway to normal as the thickened nail has yet to grow out. This also affected the skin on my fingers and even the palms, and all my toes. The skin on my fingertips is just starting to come right after a year and constant application of lotion. Most of the skin epidermis peeled off, so it took a long time to repair and for all the skin layers to grow back. The fingers took longer to repair as they were constantly exposed to water and detergents. What caused this, is the question, and your #2 I believe was the cause in my case. I have prediabetes, bordering on diabetes. Most of the time I exercise a lot, which helps to control my blood sugar, but preceding the onset of onychomycosis I had a long period of inactivity (several months). The cure for me was oral itraconazole taken by the "pulse method". 200 mg twice a day for a week, 3 weeks off - repeated for 3 months total. Most importantly I started exercising again. Getting good blood circulation through the toes is crucial. Here's the best article I've seen on the topic. Treating Onychomycosis

Thinking too much about sex is like missing the forest for the trees. Symptoms of low testosterone: 1. Brain fog 2. Lack of energy and drive 3. Indecisiveness 4. Listlessness 5. Depression 6. Irritability 7. Low sense of well-being 8. Low libido 9. Loss of muscle mass 10. Poor quality of sleep Accepting low testosterone is giving up on life.

We all wish you would "think before you post" so much nonsense. Thinking is not your strong suit.

I'm 64 and take frequent low-dose injections of Testosterone. I just checked my BP after a meal and coffee (not the best time to measure it) and it's perfect, at 118/70. I've been on TRT for many years and have never had high BP. I suggest you find another cause for your problem. Believe it or not, lots of people have high BP and don't use testosterone. Also taking one shot a month is a bad idea. You'll only have the optimum test levels for a few days. It'll be too high in the first few days after an injection, and then gradually taper off to the levels of a girl after the first week. If the test levels are too high, you'll convert it to estradiol, and when the levels are too low, you'll have high estrogen too... it's a recipe for gynecomastia. It's ridiculous to require "anti-estrogens" to counter side effects you shouldn't be getting if you keep your testosterone levels within normal range. It's difficult to do as you need frequent low-dose shots... the bare minimum would be once a week and not many people would be willing to do this. The best way to keep your BP at a healthy level is regular exercise. Cardio will be best.

In this case, a point of fact was made - that you are an insufferable bore. Both genders find you boring.

With your immature attitude toward relationships, it's a sure thing that women find you to be an insufferable bore.

No way. Thai drivers and riders are far more skilled than "in the West", the only difference is they take more risks and they aren't as afraid to die. The main difference is they don't respect road rules, but that doesn't make them unskilled. If there were as many motorcycles on the road in the West, you'd see accidents by the hundreds every day. It's surprising how long I can ride without seeing an accident in Pattaya. Yeah, they report every bad accident to have some news to write about, which gives the impression it's worse than it really is.

I went to pay it with my Aussie Paypal account and it wouldn't allow it, so I put up with ads for a week or so... then I started my ad blockers again (ABP & Origin), and in a week I haven't had any warnings.

Are you the strapping young fella?

You're deluded. The girls won't give a sh*t as it's work, not pleasure.

Thailand is not a "3rd world country". If it were, chances are you wouldn't be there/here.

The reason for police action against these crimes is always to protect the reputation of Pattaya. Luckily we're living in a tourist resort then because if random attacks occurred somewhere else there would be no police action.

I'm not talking about "medical benefits", but basic health benefits. You should float your boat on Vitamin Sea, but each to their own. If you think taking Vitamin C is for preventing colds/flu, then you're still living in the dark ages. Vitamin D3 is more useful for that, but you don't focus on one vitamin, but a broad spectrum.

Everyone NEEDS vitamin and mineral supplements AND a "healthy diet", whatever that might be. Sounds like you've been talking to doctors. Good luck trying to get all your vitamins and minerals from eating the illusive "healthy diet". Yes, minerals are tough to get and just as important. I need Vitamin D3 more in Thailand than where I used to live in Australia. The tropical sun is too harsh to spend enough time in it to get a sufficient dose of D. I stay out of the sun. The damage to your skin and the risk of melanoma is not worth the vitamin D you'll get, especially if you have very fair skin. I want 10,000 to 15,000 IU per day. You're not getting that from the sun unless you spend hours in it, with your shirt off. Caucasians don't have the right skin for this intense tropical sun. Vitamin D3 is one of the cheapest supplements you can get, and don't forget to load up on Vitamin C too, and collagen peptides. To the OP... there's no problem traveling with lots of vitamin bottles. I always have when going on vacation. They'll be more expensive in Thailand. I buy all mine online from iHerb. If you must buy here, try Lazada. There's a huge range on there that you cannot get off the shelf in Thailand.

Of course, your testicles will shrink. If you inject testosterone, your own production will slow down and stop. This is a big problem for young guys on steroid cycles who need their balls at a later date, to start their own production again after their cycles. For old guys with natural testosterone production lower than girls the balls are already underperforming and there's not much use for big balls unless it's for cosmetic purposes. There are ways to preserve their size and current function, but that involves other injectables, specifically hcg, which is hard to get. When you start TRT, it's a lifelong decision, so don't take it lightly. Get tested first. If you're in the normal range, don't start.

I swam miles and miles in my earlier years. I used to swim in the ocean rock pools back in Sydney, Australia when I lived there to avoid the dirty pool water and chlorine. Indoor pools are really bad as the whole atmosphere is chlorine laden and humid. Sure, you can get into good shape swimming, but it takes longer to get there. If you're not getting enough air you can test it out by doing breaststroke or backstroke. If that's easier, then your problem with freestyle is lack of air, not lack of fitness. You can buy special swimmer's snorkels. You'll be amazed at how far and how much faster you can swim when air is not the limiting factor. It also prevents water from entering your mouth.
