I sweat a lot when I go to the gym these days. A lot.
While at the gym earlier today I played a highly addictive Tetris'esque game on my iTouch and peddled away on a stationary cycle. This game, by the way, is so good. It's the irresistable allue of Tetris combined with vampires, pumpkins, and mummies. Which makes it the best game ever for me when it comes to aerobic motivation. Horror? Check. Tetris-like addictive elements? Check. Sold.
And now? I really want to invest in a headband. AND a wristband. AND a towel to lay on the equipment I'm destroying with abundant moisture. AND a little cold rag to put on my neck.
While perusing around I found this sweet headband/wristband combo:
And, unbeknown to me until about an hour ago when I started seriously looking for a headband, there are some really high-tech serious ones out there. Look at this "Sweat GUTR", for example. With it's "low profile design", "custom fitting system", "sweat proof material", AND "patented GUTR technology". Geez! All in one little headband. What the.
I'll may need to figure out how to buy it one day.
Injection Update
I received an e-mail from a pal who relayed to me that he injects "100 mg of T weekly, rather than 200 every two weeks." This is a simple idea that I never once thought about. Come to think of it, I would rather inject more frequently. It sounds like it would be a lot less drastic for my body: safer, less "ups and downs", more regular.
He also told me about a friend who initially used injectable testosterone, then switched to transdermal (gel) testosterone. Which is another potentially good idea - but only after giving this more thought and after figuring out how to meet with my doc again now that I no longer have health insurance. First things first, though: sweatband.

While exercising earlier today I sweat so profusely that droplets were dripping off the tip of my nose. One landed smack dab on to my iTouch. The sweat pooled in my eye sockets and blurred my much-needed-for-game vision.
Prior to hormone therapy and living in an extremely arid environment, I've never sweat like this before. Not after sword fighting or marching band or hiking up Mount Olympus. Not after a long bicycle ride or unicycling. Nothing could make me sweat like I sweat now. In fact, I was so sweat-free that I never understood the practical nature of sweatbands. I truly believed they were worn for purely aesthetic purposes. Or maybe just to set the work out mood. Those who could gain use from them were either living in a really humid environment or sweat gland impaired.

Just a few min ago, I was down working on a computer and felt this wet droplet on my hand. I looked down and there was a water drop on the keyboard hand pad. I thought, WATER IS LEAKING ON THIS PC... then... I reached up and felt my face...it was from my face! OMG I'm moving to Alaska!

ReplyDeletei may not be pumped full of t, but i am sweating like crazy too! damn this island humidity.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed I sweat a lot more since starting testosterone replacement as well.
ReplyDeleteI think it may be from the increased metabolism which causes more heat to be expelled.
Kegg: Ewwwww. You're gross. ;P
ReplyDeleteCakes: Do it.
ReplyDeleteNeekole: Island humidity sweat doesn't compare to sweating-due-to-being-gross. Pfft to you and your awesome island! ;]
ReplyDeleteI miss you!
lixue: Thanks for your comment, Margaret, and your interest in my blog. :]
ReplyDeleteBrian: I think so, too. Increased metabolism, big time. And I'm not sure if the increase in mass (especially upper body musculature) causes a difference, too, but I'm betting it does. It's so entirely wonderful to get progressively sweatier and hairier day by day! How long have you been taking T? Cypionate, also?
ReplyDeleteThanks for some quality points there. I am kind of new to online , so I printed this off to put in my file, any better way to go about keeping track of it then printing?
