Just got my labs back. Everything is perfect. How does prolactin effect muscles? I've only ever got the high prolactin side effects. Like. Nausea.

It causes muscle loss typically by lowering testosterone, I don't believe it has a direct influence. prolactin is more of regulatory hormone and neurosteroid in the brain.


Additional fun facts re: prolactin lowering. In men it can eliminate refractory period after orgasm by taking certain prolactin lowering drugs.

Rat studies show cabergoline has a direct inhibitory effect on pituitary lactotroph (prolactin) cells

You hear about porn stars doing 5 scenes a day, and then other porn stars only able to do 2 and 3. You wonder if the 5 scenes a day guys are popping a little cabergoline or Pramipexole on shoot weeks or just naturally have low prolactin.

Of course thats dangerous abuse of a Parkinson's medication, not actual science. But some of the anecdotes report being able to bust multiple shots back to back.

Hey mead can you link that deadlift bench thing again? I couldn’t find it on here and I don’t really know how to use the search function (yes, I’m old)

[Patriam1066]

Saw your post in RnF. Thanks mead

I ate terribly yesterday. It was an enlightening reminder of how I survived for my first few decades. Poorly. Everything I ate was processed with only the stray, accidental vegetable. I drank Mountain Dew, Pepsi, and Rock Stars. I even spent a summer mostly living off of little caesars’. So last night I may have eaten a lb of chicken tenders covered in bbq and washed it down with a couple energy drinks along with a half pint of mint ice cream. I got it into my head I wanted to gain a couple pounds... gross experience. Bring on the vegetables. Two tomatos and two tbsp hummus for breakfast today. Can of tuna for lunch. Chicken breast, spinach, and potatoes for dinner.

Fucking lacerated my right hand on Sunday when I was cleaning a French press carafe and the glass shattered. I got five stitches. I still went to kendo practice bc Musashi points out that the way you train is the way you will fight. If I can't train with a cut open hand I'll probably end up dead like a bitch, in a cheap pine coffin, surrounded by people who say man filbus was a bitch. Thanks Musashi!

I have to wait at least another week to get back to lifting. Tho cause gripping with my right hand might tear open stitches.

Love yawl

Damn. I did this once cleaning a glass. As I was going in with the sponge the glass shattered and a shard went right into where my thumb begins. I still have some paresthesia and this happened over 10 years ago.

I hope recovery is quick pal.
