I am with you Toth, he gets injured and researches an answer to suit his narrative. His “low” test levels are not that low and pretty common in highly trained athlete’s when they are overtraining a bit. Time to drop the training load a bit is all thats normally required. We have to remember that the normal level for a 20 yr old is higher than a 32 yr old and so on. Basically he was just training too much for his age .
I have done 3 blood panels using Rhythm Health over the past few months. My total testosterone is 726, which for a 56 year old who trains a lot is great. But my Free Testosterone is only 75.46pg/ml which is on the low side. That’s an import data point he didn’t mention.
Total 579. Free 92.5 52 year old male
Mine:
Total: 452 ng/dL
Free: 78 pg/mL
Age: 43
Oh, well clearly I’m a total stud compared to you pansies…
556 total, 110.4 Bioavailable, 51.5 Free. 50 y/o male
Dang! That Free T looks low.
Why do you guys know your numbers , what happened that lead you to test?
And are you guys American .
It’s the first thing you do when you have symptons of ED.
It’s all those ads with the “she’ll like it too”
I am not a Lionel hater . I am a Lionel supporter that knows he hears something from a person that he was told is an expert or he likes “ this time was probably the person sticking needles in him and cupping “ and they mention something that seems smart so he digs into that path rather the the proper answer.
If you look at the way he bikes and runs and swims he puts a lot of stress on his left upper ribs and back and right hip . So no surprise those areas are the issue .
Here is Lionel’s video from 9 months ago with 7,000 calories
Another one about how to stay injury free but now he is injured so…
And other videos just hop focus all over the place to the flavour on the month.
If you gave Lionel a prescribed run workout for 1 month and he got 3 % faster he would double the work next month and expect 6% but get hurt and blame the prescriptions. This is like 99/100 pros it’s why they are pros but also why most elite coaching is holding them back from self destruction.
Where training age grouper with less drive and time is about the least amount of work prescribed that gets the best results .
Pros have to race pros so you are always over reaching unless you are doing what Lionel tried in kona and we saw what happened there . Safe and healthy but you lose.
I have always been interested in my blood panels. Team Zoot picked up Rhythm Health as a partner so I decided to test 3X to establish a baseline with them. Now I plan on testing every few months. And I am American
Facebook knows your age, as soon as you hit 40, they pummel you with TRT ads
I have been struggling with low energy, bad sleep, weight gain, depression, no libido, no morning wood, and plenty of other crap going on in my life. Dr did a hormonal panel to check my T levels.
These results are from back on February, and I from a medical perspective my T levels were within the normal range, although free T is on the low side.
Ended up with medication for depression and anxiety
Just the fact that you have a FB account puts you on their targeted marketing list… Like my kids say - Facebook is for old people
I created a New Topic for Testosterone so we don’t go sideways here. I included a screenshot of my results for comparison. Hopefully we can all learn from one another.
I just assumed that every new video release from Lionel was the ED cure all for a lot of guys around here.
I didn’t want to laugh, but I did
