    I have no doubt, but what will be served by your assessment?

    Yeah, clothes make no difference for this type of an X-ray scan. It sees right through clothes like they aren't even there.

    The company I have my DEXA scan says :

    Men - Nearly all men have the scan in their underwear, though if you prefer you can ask for a hospital gown. You can get changed in privacy behind a curtain.
    Women – You will be asked to change into a hospital gown in a curtained changing area for privacy. Underneath the gown you should remove all clothing except underpants. You can wear a non-wired bra (eg, a sports bra) but not a traditional wired bra.

    Alternatively, both men and women can wear loose-fitting sports clothing with no metal attachments or zips, such as cotton shorts and a sports top.

    Isn't 200mg too much in one go? And Arimidex is serious poison. Screws the liver up.

    Test Cypionate is dosed at 200mg/ml and 1ml per week is the standard TRT dose here in the U.S.

    Arimidex is hardly poison and it's widely prescribed in this country because it reduces estrogen predictably and is therefore effective at preventing estrogen from getting outside of the reference range. I'm only taking a 1/4th of a tablet per day. So that's not even 2 tablets per week. Some guys don't need it at all because their estrogen doesn't rise much when on TRT.

    From my research (I'm considering TRT), testosterone propionate would be better and a small amount injected daily would better mimic natural testosterone production. Arimidex could and should be avoided entirely on this regime since estrogen wouldn't surge as much as on a weekly injecting schedule.

    Difficulty in putting on muscle mass. Blood tests show total test to be average, but free T is at low end of the range. High levels of SHBG causing it.

  10. Perhaps I'm just timid and uninformed, but I would tread very carefully here if I were you.
