Same here.
What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero?
Most of what is called evidence here is one person, one vial, one month.
Same here.
Read the methods section. It is the only part that says whether the conclusion is allowed to exist.
Baseline first. Currently on testosterone enanthate myself.
Test one thing at a time. It feels slower and it is the only way to learn anything.
Read methods. Low mood at the end of a cycle was my main issue with testosterone enanthate too.
Narrow conclusion. Currently on testosterone enanthate myself.
Cold storage, light protection, date on the vial. Boring, removes half the variables.
Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at. Not on testosterone enanthate but the pattern is familiar.
Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes.
An inconclusive account is useful if it stops the next person mistaking a story for a controlled comparison. Same for me with testosterone enanthate, unfortunately.
Loose evidence is not nothing, but a washout either side is the only reason to trust your own take.
Underdosing and tolerance are indistinguishable from the inside, and everyone picks the flattering explanation.
