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.

Was it too difficult to reference the source of this test to explain the context of it? Here's the full version with all the categories. Full 8th Grade Test

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.

It was a long time ago that Stallone was caught with hgh entering Australia. We have no idea if he still uses it, but I doubt it. Stallone is not a big guy and the reason he looks so jacked on the big screen is due to his very low body fat that he maintains when necessary for movie roles. Stallone builds his muscles with testosterone and hard work. Ever wonder why the golden era bodybuilders looked better with no protruding guts? Internal organ growth? Those were the pre-hgh and insulin injecting days. If you ever try hgh, you won't be on it for long - I'll put money on that. Bodybuilders have designed all types of injection protocols to limit the very significant side effects. One was to inject larger doses less frequently as daily doses causes a lot of problems.

He's not going to Japan, he's just trolling.

Have you ever rowed hard for 15 - 30 minutes on a Concept 2 rower? Swimming can get you out of breath quickly, but it doesn't build strength, especially core strength because you're floating. You're only pushing against water. An interesting point to consider with swimming is that most people are out of breath because they aren't getting enough air, rather than from the actual exercise. I've done a lot of swimming - I used to swim with a snorkel so getting sufficient air was never a problem. I'm not saying it's not a good exercise, only that there are limitations and better ways to get fit and strong.

You won't need to test for side effects as the number one, most common side effect is water retention. Extreme water retention which is dangerous. Joint pain in the hands and wrists is another common side effect. Another major problem was sleep apnea, caused by the water retention. Stallone didn't get his physique from growth hormone. I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't used it for many years.

The older you are, the more important resistance work becomes. You lose muscle every year as your testosterone levels decline, and you increase your body fat as your estrogen levels increase. You need resistance work to at least keep what muscle you have. It's not a matter of one or the other. You should be doing both cardio and resistance work. Interesting you mentioned rowing - that's one of the best exercises of all as it works the whole body and keeps the back strong provided you don't overdo it or have a back injury. I have a Concept 2 Rower that I use nearly every day. If you had to do just one exercise, that would be the one if you can handle the boredom of it. I use 4 different types of cardio work throughout the week to keep my interest up, but do resistance work nearly every other day. Heavy lifting is not necessary, but exercises that keep a lot of tension on the working muscles. You can gain more muscle using less weight while reducing the risk of injury. I train muscles to near failure often, but I can achieve that with lighter weights through the use of advanced techniques. As far as how I look - I don't care about that. I'm already old and ugly. It's how I feel that counts. If you feel better you do tend to look better too. One of the important benefits of exercise is the reduction of stress (if that is a problem). TRT is for optimizing health, not building more muscle.

It's no good taking it once a month. You'll have high levels for a few days, and then back to nothing for the rest of the month. The only reason why doctors go along with this nonsense (once every 3-4 weeks) is because people don't enjoy frequent injections. The best way would be tiny doses twice a week, but that would be tough going for many.

Assuming you're referring to testosterone... you need to study up on what TRT is. It's taking enough testosterone to get your levels up to a normal range. You will not become any more aggressive than any younger person with normal levels.

This is absolute nonsense unless you have a very low standard of what you consider "jacked". Assuming most people here are 50 plus (I'm 64), taking testosterone does not automatically make muscles pop. If you want a good physique as an older guy, and you haven't had many years of bodybuilding experience, you will find it very difficult to build muscle even with the addition of exogenous testosterone. I've been training for most of the last 50 years, so even if I take a long time off, I can quickly build up muscle again with a low dose of testosterone... but it is very hard work and a lot harder than when I was young as aging joints and connective tissue invariably slow you down. You really have to know what you're doing as the type of training I do now is very different from how I trained when I was younger. Now, if you want to get really jacked as an old man, it will take a lot more drugs than just testosterone... and that gets very dangerous, and more dangerous the older you get. Thanks for the suggestion of swimming and bike riding to maintain cardiovascular health. More than half of my weekly training is cardio work.

It is easy enough to get hgh, but I wouldn't recommend it though. I had nasty side effects from it when I tried it back in 2009... and no, it wasn't the hgh as that was genuine and high quality and I was using a low dose. That stuff can kill you.

What you probably haven't considered is that most people die from disease or illness which can cause a lengthy period of suffering. If you couldn't care less, then I expect that one day you'll have the courage to end your own life while you're still relatively healthy and able to post here. That way you can have your wish without suffering.

When I first read it, I thought they had dug it up under a mango tree, not inside the tree.

Fortunately, in Thailand, they are shown more respect, and considered to be a "third gender". What this article failed to consider is that katoeys do attract many tourists who prefer them to women or men. There's a market for them. If there wasn't, Pattaya would not have so many. Labeling them all as criminals or potential criminals is extremely unjust.

It's not good to see... police violating the rights of citizens by detaining them without charge due to profiling. I'm sure it's against the law in Thailand too, but they don't expect any of them to contact their lawyers.

Man boobs are a common side effect of aging. If your testosterone levels are too low, you'll get them too. Low testosterone is a side-effect of aging. Aging is not pretty. If men want to look like sh*t when they get old, then don't do TRT. Testosterone aromatizes into Estradiol. Don't take anti-estrogen, or aromatase-inhibiting drugs, just lower the dose of testosterone. It's a bit stupid to take excess testosterone and then other drugs to control the side effects. Men need estrogen and too little is also a problem. The OP is/was using far too much. 125mg or less per week should be adequate for most people to increase testosterone to a normal range (for younger adults). Doing more frequent low-dose injections might help maintain more stable blood levels throughout the week, but that's a problem for people who don't like injecting themselves. You can have it done at a clinic. I don't have a problem with gynecomastia, but hair loss/thinning is a problem and also excess growth of body hair. If you use finasteride to stop hair loss, then you'll have to deal with no sex drive. It kills it. (if you like to pay for it, it'll save you a fortune LOL). I've never had a problem with high blood pressure. I don't know what the OP is doing in the gym, but too much weight training and too little cardio exercise might be his problem. Training twice a day is not a good idea unless one session is cardio and the other is resistance training. You should not have a blood pressure problem caused by sensible TRT doses. (more to the point, it should not cause high blood pressure. There's probably another cause). One of the huge advantages of TRT is it can improve your sugar metabolism if you have high blood sugar.

They are picking on baht buses, not public transport in general. I love public transport in Bangkok, but baht buses stop anywhere and slow down traffic just in the hope of picking up passengers. Frequently they will stop traffic just to tout for passengers. Regular buses have bus stops to pick up and offload passengers. Baht buses slow or stop traffic to pick up or drop off one passenger. They are without doubt the biggest hindrance to traffic flow in Pattaya.
