1st cycle, out of shape, high bodyfat

Question, being that you have had multiple injuries and surgeries over that last few years, were you on prescription opiates at the time of your labs when your test was found to be low? Opiates wrecked my natty test levels

Never had surgeries. always opted for rehab. Doc refused to give me anything during this last run, when I got my levels tested.... Said I was going to have "chronic intermittent " pain going forward, and didn't want to get me hooked on pain meds..... island life :/

 

[Throwback]

He did you a huge favor with the pain med deal....opiates are the absolute worst thing to quit....picture a heroin addict in withdrawal....same thing with pain meds...are you still in the chronic pain from these injuries?

 

[vani11agori11a]

No, it's chronic intermittent. ... so it will come and go for life.... i should be good for quite a while as long as I steer clear of activities like mma, boxing, and crossfit..... that's where are all my injuries occured.... Had I just focused on bodybuilding I likely wouldn't be in this predicament. ..

Best of luck, @vani11agori11a. You have a good head on your shoulders and I don't think anyone here thinks you won't succeed. Keep us updated on your journey and what you do. Your success is part of why we are all here.

OK...then how about test only cycle with 500 mg/wk cyp or test e with ai for 12 weeks and an eca stack to crank up metabolism along with an accurate 500 calorie per day deficit...this with a good program at the gym should get u close to your target.

I don't go nuts on cardio. 30 min 5 times per week post weights usually keeps me dropping fat slow and steady.

depends on your goals and your condition. if your fat you should do cardio once a day after weight training. diet, weight training, and cardio.

2g protien per pound of bodyweight. 100-120g fat for me. Under 50g carbs when cutting, refeed once per week. 1 gallon of water, plenty of fiber.
Keep it simple and consistently work hard.

you should start your own thread. you should get blood work to see if you need TRT or if your older you definitely need TRT. Ketosis is a great life style.

All good homeslice... I was busy taking a Helo flight up to a mountain top to do some repairs... didn't even notice haha.

 

[vani11agori11a]

Can anyone point me towards an online testing facility? And exactly what I need to have tested? I don't feel like going to a doc here, as they average 3x the cost down in the lower 48.

Female panel $69
There is another but the nae slips my mind. You dont really need the male full panel now. As you are probably in a normal range. See if theyre in your neck of the woods

Honestly vani11agori11a you should get the bodyfat down with just cardio for now and a good diet. Cut sugar and high sodium foods. Consider every piece of food that goes in to your mouth.
As a fuel to run a race car. Do you wanna race a minivan or a Ferrari? Only you can decide it.

I'm aware, just want all my I's dotted and T's crossed... I'm a guy with all or nothing mentality, so I wanna have all my info on hand so I can make the most educated decisions based off my needs, be it supps, diet, training techniques, or even aas.
Diet and Training on point while maximizing natty results first is an obvious.... But I do know last year when I got my levels tested they were low... So I want to see if there has been any change, and determine any route from there. Good looking out though!

There is nothing natural about low testosterone levels!
