What I did to fix mine
Post Body

Okay so what I did has gotten me to about 90-100% depending on mood, exhaustions, etc. This should work for just about everyone because I was basically at 0% for several years and now I'm popping boners almost like a teenager again (no testosterone replacement or other external hormones).

So here's the basics. You will need some money, obviously. To achieve this I got 3 jobs because I had other obligations and the jobs also paid like shit no lie. You need certain equipment, supplements, etc. and there is a bare minimum. The minimum you want is a speedbag, heavy bag, weight set (I recommend just getting the bowflex adjustables but do what feels okay), resistance bands, ring set, pull up bar (full sized, I got the trahn kahn collapsible bar), blender, juicer, cronometer app, good running shoes, good walking shoes, a fitness tracker of some sort (even a somewhat crappy samsung will do which is what I use, I recommend garmin), jump rope, additional cardio device (roller blades, skateboard and safety equipment preferred), weight bench, notebook, food scale, Blood pressure monitor and a few other things I'll try to remember later. Some optional items are: air fryer, camp stove, ice chest, head lamp, double ended bag, bike (I don't recommend because it can affect your crotch area), food storage containers, posters (for inspiration or motivation), whiteboard (I think it's mandatory but you can optionalize (and yes I made this word up :)) it), books, laptop, tablet, shaving or waxing equipment to measure progress, spice jars, mason jars and other fermenting equipment, etc. I know some of this stuff seems pretty random but I assure you they all have their uses in this journey. I use most of it myself but I've also stopped using some of it. I'll go over some of them in detail here, but first, a list of supplements.

So the supplement list that I'm currently using (I occasionally use others but these work) is: protein, collagen, creatine, ryse Project Blackout, CoQ10 Gold (I switched brands because it was out but this is a non-optional supplement if you're serious about fixing this), vitamin d3 50,000 IU(once per week), beet root supplement, ashwagandha, Yohimbe-plus, grape seed extract, mucuna pruriens, Hawthorn Berry Extract, Krill Oil, Deer Antler Velvet, Fadogia Agrestis, Tongkat Ali, Tribulus Terrestris, Pycnogenol, Bodytech Nitrulline, CBD and Cannabis (tincture and vaping although I recommend not doing either I think it helps me for the overall).

So before I go over each one of these in detail, I'll tell you that you need to pick up some type of hobby besides weightlifting. Even if you just daydream about building shit all day, pick something somewhat productive. Take up a responsibility of some sort (a cat or a dog, even a fish) and do everything you can to give it the best life you can. Strive for improvements in every aspect of your life. If you have to call yourself a bitch to get there, do that. If you have to tell yourself you're the greatest to get there, DO THAT!

Okay, now the supplement reasons. First I'll start with the supplements I deem to be a potential health risk, so use extra caution. This is also the reason a BP monitor is mandatory, at least in the beginning.

  1. Yohimbe-Plus: this has the potential to increase heartrate and blood pressure. Use the lowest dose possible to start. Maybe a different supplement. If you're under 6' tall you will definitely need to start lower. For reference the doses I'm giving are for a 6'1" individual. This mixture has other things in it as well such as horny goat weed. To be honest though, the doses are a little low on some of them. If you want separate supplements that route is superior on occasion. This is basically just a boner and fat loss formula.

  2. Hawthorne berry: this is to counteract the negative effects of the Yohimbe. This lowers Blood pressure. I use 300mg personally, YMMV.

  3. Ashwagandha: this I believe binds to SHBG. This will give your body more free testosterone with very little negative effect. Be careful of the doses. Also watch out for mood dampening. Don't take for more than 30 days at a time if you are sensitive to this particular effect or unable to bring yourself back from it with sheer mental fortitude. Do not take this as some type of challenge. You do not want to be emotionless, this is a boner killer and even psychopaths have enough to get themselves a boner.

  4. Tribulus Terrestris: This helps with sperm production, which will help with testosterone and androgen receptors. You want more sperm in your balls. But overall this is an optional supplement and I got my boners back without it.

  5. Grapeseed extract: Helps with heart health. Helps with bloodflow. Makes your blood less abrasive in your system. These are all beneficial. Your penis health is a good indicator of your blood vessel health and your heart health. I believe it also clears the "plaque" from your blood vessels.

  6. Krill oil: same as the grapeseed extract except this is more focused on the blood vessels. This is also far superior to the grape seed extract. If you had to choose one, choose this. This is superior to fish oil. Astaxanthin is the main reason this beats fish oil, although fish oil is still beneficial and has other uses. I don't mix them though.

  7. Mucuna Pruriens: helps with dopamine. I don't use it often but I go on 3-7 day boosts. Works wonders. Also helps counteract the ashwagandha negative effects (not side effects, effects. There is no such thing as a "side-effect").

  8. CoQ10: honestly don't remember much about it. Helps with mood somewhat and is mainly used for cardiovascular health. I'd use it before some heavy cardio. I think it's essential so don't skip it. I forgot it on my last run to the shop but I'll pick some up on next paycheck because I believe it to be essential in the healing process.

  9. Pycnogenol: More hearth health. It's an antioxidant or sorts. Just take it :)

  10. Deer Antler Velvet: Helps with testosterone in my honest opinion. Not much but enough to improve workouts. I recently added it back into the stack because it's just expensive honestly. I take it for 2-3 months at a time.

  11. Fadogia Agrestis: helps with testosterone and free testosterone. Also helps lower SHBG (I think?), which is good. You want this.

  12. Tongkat Ali 1000mg: Same thing as Fadogia but stronger. I don't think it helps with SHBG though. You can also look these supplements up, but take them all.

  13. Ryse Project Blackout: Honestly I only take it because I bought it already. I hate that it has dyes in it. I will never buy it again but it helps. Use if you want but I only take 2 caps a day even though dose is 4. Because I take other supplements with same ingredients.

  14. Nitrulline: same thing as blackout but I will buy again in a different form with less alternative ingredients. These help with NO2 and NO3. NO is produced in your body but you can lose the ability to do so. It's produced on the tongue. You can respark this to a degree. The main thing is an NO supplement with nitrates and nitrites. Very important.

  15. Beet powder supplement: another source of nitrates and nitrites. This is a more pure form of the other stuff and because it comes from a plant I believe it to be better and healthier. Could be wrong but that's just me.

  16. THC supplement: helps me workout. What can I say? I don't recommend it though. I'm basically addicted to it until I'm done working on my body.

  17. CBD: I recommend this. Helps with small pains. Helps with mood. Helps with relaxing.

  18. Collagen: Helps with muscles, bones and more. Helps with looking healthier too. You need it, get it.

  19. Protein: So I like to get about 200g of protein daily if possible. Not all from shakes or supplements. Get it from as many food sources as possible first. I start my morning with a shake and then max out protein on food. Then I may end the day with another shake if I feel like it. I mix berries with mine.

  20. Vitamin D: You need this. You need to take it religiously for a bit. I take 50,000 every week for 6 weeks and then check levels. Rinse and repeat. Ideally you want a test of around 80 out of 100 for vitamin D. The reference range is abysmally low. Do not go off of the lower end. It's terribly under what you need.

  21. The most important supplement is sleep. If you have to sleep at work and have the option to without getting caught, do that. Screw the job. Just make sure your work gets done.

So that does it for the supplement list. Lets go over a couple of the items as this is getting long already.

  1. Juicer: you need this to juice stuff. You're going to be juicing, A LOT. You are required to juice beets, carrots, oranges, ginger and spinach. These are the non-optionals. Ginger sucks but you have to put up with it at least once a month. If you start feeling sick from the working out or anything, you need to juice a whole root as well as at least 10-15 good sized carrots, a bunch of beets and 3-5 oranges. 1 pound of spinach. You'll probably feel better next morning after that but rinse and repeat even a few days after you feel better.

  2. Blender: you need this to blend stuff. You need to use it for your protein smoothies every day. You need to use it for your healthy eating if you want a salsa or something. You need to use it healthily.

  3. Food scale: you need to know how much food is going into your body. You need to have a rough idea how much you're eating. This is paired with a food tracking app. I use Cronometer. Best one by far, no contest.

  4. Air Fryer: cooking anywhere you go. Get a medium sized one.

  5. Weights: You're going to be working out a lot. Minimum of 4 hours per day. The first few weeks I was pulling 12-16 hour days. I jump started my body with that. It hurt like hell. It was worth it. Now I'm down to smaller days just because I can still make improvements with less but I want to rest a bit as well as I have an injury from overloading my arm with nearly double my max rep weight. Don't do that. I still do about 6-8 hours per day.

  6. Roller blades: something to switch it up from running. Amazing workout too. I run about 3-5 miles per day most days. I'm adjusting to the heat but after I finish this I'm going for a run.

  7. Pullup bar and rings: You can't just do weightlifting for working out. It makes you weaker overall. The muscles need to be stimulated in several ways to get true strength and fat burning potentials. Also this is helpful in cases of injuries. Gives you access to working out every muscle with body weight. Nothing beats this.

  8. Heavy bag and speedbag: so the heavy bag hurts now due to my injury but I just hit it lighter now. Speedbag is a good alternation. The speedbag is also great for your shoulders and good for cardio. The heavy Bag is good for cardio and strength. If you have to choose one get the heavy bag.

  9. Ice chest: goes with air fryer and camp stove mostly. You can keep stuff cold in there. Self explanatory.

  10. Running shoes: You are going to be running a shit ton. Get your ass some damn good running shoes because you're gonna need them. Get your ass up and run. No treadmills. Run in the rain. Run in the sun. Run in the dark. IDGAF when or where you do it, just do it. Get it done.

  11. Notebook: keeping track of stuff, jotting down ideas, planning and organizing workouts, days and more. Drawing. Tracking foods if you want. Just get one.

  12. Food storage: You need to be at least a little bit organized here. You need to know where your food is and get to it quickly. This shit is work. It takes time. Save time by organizing the food.

  13. Jump Rope: you need one. Get one. Use it at least 15 minutes daily.

So for now this is about all I want to type. I'll update this later. Realize this though: This is not easy. It's hard fucking work. You need to be on fucking point. You cannot say "I don't feel like doing this today" in the first couple of months. You have to push yourself. You have to challenge yourself. You have to hit it hard every single day. I am not joking when I say I was working out for 16 hour days. My family and friends all notice a massive change in the 2-3 months I've been working out.

You need to reduce your bodyfat. Even if you can see your abs your body may be accumulating fat around your penile region. Mine sure does even though you can't even tell. I'm thinking many venous leaks are caused by this. This is the last to go by the way. Your abs will show before your penis fat goes away in most cases. Remember, you're trying to undo years of damage here. I packed in like 1.5 years of working out into 3 fucking months. Some days I was staying up 20 hours and just working out as much as I could, take a 5-20 minute break and then start hitting it again. I would repeat the failures again and again. You need to fail a fuckton. Over and over and over again.

Also, don't even Dave's killer bread. That shit isn't organic idk who the fuck they paid to say that but that shit stays good for like 12 months. That ain't natural.

Peace for now, let me know if you have any immediate questions and I'll answer as best I can. But I'm done on this particular post for now just because this took me like 2 hours to write.
