  5. Nicotine: youre not worried about it affecting spermatogenesis? I smoked for 20yrs and really feel disheartened by the uptick in open nicotine use. I feel it negatively impacted me in a multitude of subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

  8. I was doing subq injections for a year with no acne. Switched to intramuscular and immediately got chest and back acne. Went back to subq and it went away. Anyone else experience this?

  9. Since you asked, the audio isn't that good. Peaking due to a proximity effect and then suffering too low of a level when you're off the mic.

    My advice, increase the gain of the mic, and speak from further away. This will increase the "sweet spot" of the mic, where the levels are good. You can use a "pop filter" to set the distance, so you don't get too close to the mic. Now, you may have other noises that are now picked up by the mic at this point. You can use a noise gate, but realistically if you're now fighting the noise gate cutting in and out, and you've played with the settings, you'd be better served with an EQ, to reduce that frequency, and this can be static (reduction in that frequency is static) or dynamic (reduction in that frequency with increase or decrease based on how much of that sound is present, this will become useful if you decide to try the next suggestion).
    If all of this doesn't work, you can buy a "compressor", either as a plugin (software) or a console (hardware), and route the sound through that in real time. Be careful of inducing latency, which is when the viewer will see your mouth move, and then a slight delay before your voice comes through. WHat the compressor is doing, is turning down the volume of the sound once it exceeds a certain volume (hear me out), and then increasing the volume of all of the sound. In effect, this makes the average volume come up, because the distance in volume from a small sound to a large sound is now smaller. In effect, it will result in a steadier volume throughout the recording, and a generally more intelligible podcast.

    Hope that helps, feel free to message me if you have any questions!

  10. I plan on having loose skin removal surgery next year. I was going to follow essentially your protocol for healing. However, I am not on TRT or anabolics but was considering low dose (2.5mg 2x daily) of anavar for 2-4 weeks. Is this enough to warrant shutdown and should be avoided? Also, I was considering 4iu of GH for 4 weeks, then 2iu of GH for 8 weeks following the next surgery (having 3-4 of them), then repeating. Would there be any issue with this? Will probably use occasional metformin/berberine for insulin issues.
