I increased my Testosterone by 40%

DISCLAIMER: I DID NOT EAT BEFORE THE FIRST T TEST, AND I LATER HEARD THAT CAN REDUCE 50-100 ng/dL

Yes black males definitely have bigger dicks on average, quit the cope

Test levels vary 25% throughout the day for younger people making one-off blood tests a bit worthless unless your levels are extremely low.

I agree. I would get a blood test regardless because if you are below 500 (even assuming the best case scenario) its a sign to fix your lifestyle.
Testosterone is kinda just a way to generalize lifestyle as I saw it increase and felt better when test was high. Everything I recommended has other benefits besides supposed testosterone gains.

 

[texascel]

Great thread thanks

ngl sounds like ur the coper here.

fr tho: blacks are bigger but on a statistically insignifact level. the difference between a black male and white male's penis is literally half of a nail's length. dedicating ur entire identity to 0.5 cm is a cope in my book pal

Vitamin D comes from sun exposure, I chose that over supplements. Supplements seem like a waste of time when you could get cardio and the other health benefits of sun exposure. The downside is obviously that sun can damage skin quality but sunscreen will mitigate some of that. Rather be tanned and happy with a little skin damage than ghoulish

[Chowdog]

Would injecting T directly in great quantities cause Hormonal imbalance ? I've heard it can happen since your body is getting a greater amount of T then what it's used to producing so it actually stops producing T at all, in the long term this would mean you are dependable on supplements for daily T intake

this map is really funny when someone likes to claim black men have higher T. South Africa, the african country with the most whites, has the highest T levels on average. And this is while being in a pretty similar environment too

Very similar to my results.

I took d 3 only and in 14 months I went from 480 to 755

Wasn't lifting any weight or even leaving my room for that year

My testosterone changes D3

Before I show my results and what I did I have to say that there is a margin of error which is possible because I took dutasteride one week prior to the exam(it raises t). With that being said According to this study people that took dutasteride for one year 1 tablet (0.5)daily boosted their...

An advantage of being black is that you never have to worry about going bald, since most black dudes look good bald

 

[Jerryterry129]

Sounds like me

I went from 400 to 710 from eating more fats and taking boron/getting better sleep

i stopped though cause I didn’t feel any benefits of the high t, just lost more hair and was bloated/skin looked worse lmao. My free t increased a bit too

I never felt bad even when I had 400 t. I think it’s all individual and more about how receptive you are to test(ur androgen sensitivity)

I felt 0 difference aggression or mental wise, the only thing I noticed was that my skin was getting fuked from it
