@Lakis Halkias if you feel your recovery is lacking in particular, it might be worth getting your IGF-1 tested. Then you could potentially optimize with GH related peptides, you may find this has a more significant impact on your recovery opposed increasing Test dose, which carries the risk of increased side effects and not improving recovery capacity. More often isn't better. It would be worth investigating what is the real cause that is negatively impacting your recovery, because it probably isn't a lack of Test, if you are already on TRT. I'd also suggest researching BPC-157, this can significantly helps with recovery.

@Lakis Halkias my pleasure, happy to help! Getting IGF-1 check will tell you a lot. With regards to BPC-157, it all depends on the size vial you purchase and the volume of bacteriostatic water that you mix it with to determine your specific dose. It sounds more complicated than it is. Feel free to let me know what quantity of BPC and Bac water you buy, and I'll be able to help you. Alternatively, any AI is good for questions like this. BPC-157 is very forgiving, it's mild, gentle, but the effects build up in the body over time and can significantly help with recovery. I work off Tony's key principle of finding the minimal effect dose, for me it was around 200-300 mcg daily. You can take it any time of day or evening, I personally take it in the morning post workout, or morning none training days. Hope that helps.

Thanks @Tony Huge, I’m curious what dose pregnenolone do you take and time of day? I’m guessing, from your video, one of the reasons you take it is due to the cascade effect to progesterone and then towards allopregnanolone, a neurosteroid that directly and powerfully activates GABA-A receptors in the brain producing a calming and anti-anxiety effect? What’s your thoughts / experiences on taking progesterone directly for a more targeted direct root of this mechanism? If so, what would be a typical dose for this? Thank you!

Thyroid hormone?

@Drew Griffin I personally wouldn't know, I've just started learning more about thyroid hormones. But it's a good question! Let's hope someone else can comment.

@Bryan J the exact same thing happened with me on the same dose. I dropped to 6.25mg daily, it improved a bit, but reversed once I stopped altogether. Others have suggested it could have worked better with an even lower dose, and taking it less frequently 2 x week. For me sleep is critical, otherwise it negatively impacts everything else. People seem to either love it or hate it. I believe the reason for this is due to genetics. If someone is a carrier of the CYP2D6 +/+ homozygous variant (poor/intermediate metabolizer), enclomiphene clears much more slowly than standard dosing assumes. A standard starting dose of 12.5mg likely produces an effective exposure closer to what 25-40mg would produce in a normal metabolizer, and the elimination half-life, already around 10 days in normal metabolizers, may extend to 15-20+ days. This means each daily dose stacks on top of a much larger remaining amount than intended, compounding toward a substantially higher steady-state level, directly explaining the overstimulation and nervous system disruption some people experience. @Tony Huge would be keen to hear your thoughts on the genetics part.

@Kevin Beaufrand thanks for sharing. Great that you get no sides for this protocol! May I ask, what benefits do you feel?
