some good general info ^

Where does it say we have 25% the test of our grandfathers?

If that were true my grandfather would have been a silverback gorilla

Speaking of, anyone heard from @Nick-NJ recently?

Hello m8

It's probably general assumption for most normie males

Fitmales are probably doing fine buy maybe slightly hampered by xenoestrogens

But*

Maybe in general, the average male has less test because of obesity, shitty lifestyle and diet, etc. I really, really doubt that we (men) on average have a quarter the test of our grandfathers.

Of course there are exemptions

People are fatter and doing more sedentary work, eating way more carbohydrates and less saturated fats and protein

Yeah exactly @Deleted User

Agreed 👍🏻

People who don't workout and eat right might have a portion of their grandfather's test but I think most of us in here are doing okay.

If you're working out, eating right, getting adequate sleep, flirting with women and competing with other males in some form you're probably fine

Yeah it was meant to apply men in general. I will keep looking for the study that says quarter of T levels

Most inexpensive T check I've found.

Have you tried it? @Reinhard Wolff

Yeah, I used this service.

You order online, and then you bring in the paperwork they sent you to a LabCorp.

The whole process was very simple.

Don’t try to drive afterwards though

I felt fine for a few minutes and then blacked out

Long but well worth the watch https://youtu.be/LUm4LSGlKsY

*cue passionate argument*

I went to the downtown Birmingham labcorp once for a blood test to see if I was the best match for a marrow donation

There were some uh

Interesting people there

I need some advice for my diet plan. I used an online meal plan calculator to find my goals and this is what I got

Calorie Goal: 3709
Protein Intake Goal: 324
Fat Intake Goal: 57
Carbohydrate Intake Goal: 475

Any advice on reaching this? What are your favorite protein dense foods?

Peanut butter is ridiculously calorie and protein dense

I eat some out of the jar at my desk at work

High carb diets literally run your body on sugar. Healthy fats should be your primary fuel.

God damn that's a lot of calories

Power bulk?

@missliterallywho I disagree. If you're eating most of your carbs post/pre workouts and your carbs being "Good", I've had a lot better approach with the high carb approach with my training.
