Yeah, or a Yohimbe supp or something...

I think in my old age, the TEST LVLS are a little low...

It doesn't matter right now, but in about 3 weeks I'm gonna want it

If I had the cash, I would be on SYNTH-GH... (Double Doses!)

Good luck on the recovery........

I caught a cold too after hernia surgery. It sucks to cough when you have a nice 3 inch cut in your stomach/groin area (assuming you had open surgery).

You'll be back to the gym in no-time.
