I've always thought Esther was a bad name for a woman, now I know different (ester).

I'm enroute to the US via Thailand for some R&R from Afghanistan (I am retired military/Contractor) and am going to get a cheap T-test then investigate my options.

Here's the deal--I've had a general feeling of--well just hadn't felt right and some has been attributed to PTSD etc. I've known for years I was depressed and it was a very vicious cycle--ups and downs as the seratonin levels waffle--while still in, when bad stuff happened I pulled myself up by the bootstraps and dealt with it because in my field, one can't necessarily be treated for depression.

Now out--falling into that I feel as tho I'm a walking pharmaceutical.

I'm very active, great core fitness, run a lot and am competing in a marathon kayak race in October. I don't' want to say I 'hope' my T is low to justify treatment, however I am at that age where it slows and I certainly could use the assist while training.

I've read "Anabolic's" and two other TRT books and honestly will have to take notes from Anabolic's IOT make more informed decisions--rather speak more intelligently here.

Nebido sounds great--long/slow releasing, reduced injections. I am worried, some, about Gyn but I still maintain a very active profile (I can get Test-E/Nebido at a clinic in Pattaya--and I'd rather have a Dr.'s take).

That said--is Nebido+Clomid a good option--Nebido seems it would produce some estrogen (poss of gyno) but the Clomid it seems would limit that effect.

Together--Lipid Stabil can't hurt either along w/ my low cholesterol diet.

I'm not

For solely TRT--Nebido or Test-E? Thoughts on this?
What are good options for upping endurance and building lean muscle mass? ((I'll cross reference with the positives and negatives in "Anabolics") I've got to paddle a damn boat for about 9 hours a day for three days in October and my training time (due to work is limited).

Looking forward to the discussion.
