I suppose this isn't gonna be the most original thread here, but objectives are:
- Get stronger (weight training, main movements to evaluate are Squat, Overhead Press, Deadlift, Clean, Dips...)
- Get more libido and erection quality (without stimulation they usually start fading in about 10-20 seconds and gets semi-flacid in a minute)
I hope this serves as a useful log of a self experiment for other people dealing with similar issues.
Reasons to start all this?
Erectile dysfunction problems, low libido, easily getting injured performing activities like trekking, martial arts, etc.
Low testosterone (see lab results below)
Background info:
- Male
- 1.82 m 66 Kg
- Around 2.011 weighted about 83 Kg with a 18-22% fat percentage (mainly due breathing squats and lost of milk, cheese, meat, etc)
- About 2.012 had a bilateral ginecomastia surgery (small and painful, both sides)
- From previous surgery "got" hypertension (140/90) and doc put me on lifetime treatment
- Done drugs, quited them after a few years (not drinking coffee neither cigarettes or alcohol)
- Performed a 3 day water fast, got rid of hypertension and stopped drinking doc treatment
- IBS-D for years, ended it up when I performed a garlic enemas for about a week and drinked probiotics + yogurt
- Feb 2.017 laparoscopic varicocele surgery (left grade III, right grade I), two months resting, started
- Anectodically I felt an amazing, incontrollable libido and steel erection at the night after the surgery, never felt such a drive since that time and years ago, also, itching returned
- Been lifting weights since 16 years old, with some months or even years off
- Easy to lose fat and weight, harder to gain it
- Significant depression history (even months with shitty mood)
- Acne since puberty (slowly fading away since last fasting)
- Lactose intolerant (I can drink up to 300ml of milk WITH food, but getting lots of gas)
- Left calf small varicose vein (hurts a bit when I'm not working out for months)
- Got some kidney pains (I thought it was back pain and didn't care) since about 2 years ago. Now, after fasting they got more intense and when I got a ecography I had a 2mm calculus on my right kidney, the left one (where pain was present) got nothing but "urine retention", doctor suspected that I was about to piss a calculus or already did. Pain is now lower
- Currently I have a Grade I varicocele on left side mainly, right side is pretty slightly. I could upload pictures of the ecography is someone thinks it's useful to check for pycnogenol effects or horse chestnut effects, etc...I have pretty visible varicose veins in the left side, could also upload if it's gonna be useful (they didn't fade away even 6 months after surgery, I'm confused about it)
- Estimated 1RM at 24 March 2.017: Squat 56 Lb, Deadlift 60 Lb, Press 55 Lb, Weighted Dips (5x5) 20 Lb
- Estimated 1RM at 01 Sept 2.017 (after fasting): Squat 238 Lb, Deadlift 256 Lb, Press 106 Lb, Ring Weighted Dips (2x8, harder than regular dips) 10 Lb, Hang Power Clean 144 Lb
* 4 day water fasting on 27 Aug 2.017.
Results: fat dropped, small fever like sympthomps, joint pains mainly. About 5% strenght (weights) drop on main excercises. Day after I was kinda euforic at afternoon, felt great during the day, driving my motorcycle way more aggressively and having fun at it (kinda strange in me), great mood.
Started a DIET that consists mainly on: discarding PUFAs and shitty industrial food (pasta, flours, dairy -gonna try some day to see effects-, processed meats, beans), main protein source: sardines (cheap as ***t here), also since 24 Aug 2.017 being eating 4 raw onions, beet, orange, parsley. 800 UI Vit E (DL Alfatocoferol acetate, 400 UI 8 AM and 800 UI 8 PM), oral B complex vitamin (8 AM, 8 PM), horse chestnut 200 mg
Usually eating 4 times a day
Sleeping with my groin completly nude, rest of the body covered, approx. room temp of 22 to 24ºC with air conditioner
Varicocele itching mainly when sitting and/or under heat.
Interesting to say that I live in Venezuela, blood tests and services are cheap as they can get (usually ranging from 1.25 to 5.62 USD). Bad side: country situation is really ****88 up, people gets easily depressed or pissed off, lots of people slowly getting into starvation (socialism at it's finest), some supplements and medicines can be extremly cheap also, but hard to find, but most of the foreign supplements, drugs, etc...that can't be find in regular markets are EXTREMLY pricey for local buying power (lucky ones earn from 25 to 40 USD a month)
I'll try to keep uploading blood tests and pictures (same spot, 8 AM, same angle) so you can check progress, results, etc

================================================================================
Mid-August 2.017 Blood Tests (start):
Testosterone 2,4 ng/mL
Free Testosterone 7,5 pg/mL
Cortisol 08:00 16,4 ng/mL
TSH 0,9 mlU/L
T3 soon
T4 6,9 ug/dL
Free T4 1,31 ng/dL
Prolactine 5,2 mlU/L
Estradiol 35 pg/mL
Triglicerides 32 mg/dL
Cholesterol 212 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol 62 mg/dL
LDL Cholesterol 145 mg/dL
VLDL Cholesterol 5 mg/dL

I'm really interested on Haidut's supplements, specially Androsterone and Pansterone combo, I'm waiting to save some extra bucks and get my hand on those, but I wanna make sure they don't mess up my HPTA or could get me way more ****88 up. I'm even thinking about getting some DHEA powder from the US and DMSO and make some while taking Pregnenolone orally, but I have to make some math and see if I could get some instruments to measure it all up precisely first.
As you can see I like to make experiments and not always believing whatever a doctor tells me, I like to use my own brain. I'm not a medicine or nutrition professional or have an extensive background on it, but I got some experience weight training and dieting.
My main objective is to have more libido and erection quality ASAP. I just bought some L-Citrulline 2:1 malate and pycnogenol to see if I can improve veins and circulation. I have being trying with watermelon rind some months ago and then the last two days (can't wait for the citruline powder), and it works pretty fine improving erections and feels like more pump working out, but it's not so cool to have to drink about 700 ml to 1 L of watermelon rind juice a day hahaha...it also makes a lot of fecal matter, I think it could be a good thing for a constipated person. Also, I noticed that eating also the red part of the watermelon along the rind gives me diarrhea (I eat also the seeds), it seems it's too much watermelon, the rind alone seems to be the way to go (until my L-Citruline arrives).
Also I have queued on my List: Haidut's supplements, Moringa seeds, Aspartic Acid, ashwagandha, Muira puama, Tribulus terreastris, Topical progesterone, Pregnenolone, DHEA.
I'm not english native speaker, sorry about that.
