Hey,
I'll first introduce myself briefly. I am a 42y.o. man, living in Belgium.
Also a dad and a huge power training/bodybuilding/body recomposition/.... fanatic.
Been working out over 26 years, with many ups and a few years down (work, birth of children, you know the stuff). Past few years back on track regarding training, nutrition, supplementation. Never tried anything anabolic/steroid(like).
Stats now:
Age 42
Height 172cm
Weight 69,5
Body fat % 10-11%
Years of training 26y
Complete cycle history (compounds, doses, lengths of time, when they were run) 0
PCT for each cycle 0
Goals Muscle gain
Supplements (if any) creatin, psyllium, whey, casein, multivit, carnitin, 5-HTP, CLA, coenzym Q10.
General idea of nutrition (any food allergies???) No allergies
Any other relevant info (injuries, surgeries you've had, etc.) None.
So now you understand I have a very good basic knowledge and experience regarding training , supplements and nutrition.
I realize I probably have reached my genetic, natural muscle building capacities. Still getting stronger (progressive overload) in the gym though ; this still gives me motivation and 'hope'
My goal is to get more muscular, staying lean (counting calories and macro's using MyFitnessPall over 2 years). Always on a lean bulk (very slight surplus, afraid of getting fatter), but wishing I could eat more.
First: the problem:
since I got so lean (10-11%BF) last year I felt rather down, chronic lack of energy, bad moods, no sex-drive, etc.
So I still wonder was it worth it, should I get fatter again and feel better?
I had my blood examined several times.
As was expected T-levels low each time: 230 - 350 - 380...
Still in a "normal range" according to the lab, but for my age, wanting to perform, to feel better, to train hard and to build muscle I guess this should be much higher.
Then: the solution:
or at least thinking about it...
1. Eating more, getting fatter is not my favorite option.
2. I thought about TRT. I don't want to use any gel (transfer to wife and children...)
Since I am an active MD I can inject and prescribe myself, but everything is very regulated and controlled here, so I don't want into any problems with pharmacies, own work or insurances. And on top of that I have no experience at all concerning these types of products, dosing, etc.
So I looked into oral administration and came across Andriol, which I could prescribe myself in doses for TRT.
I read (and listened to your youtube movie) about Andriol Testocaps and realize a very low bioavailability...
Or would the recommended 160mg daily for TRT purposes be enough for me?
If I'm really honest I actually want "a bit more" than just TRT, I really would wanna push my genetic, natural muscle building limits...
I am aware if I would start Andriol also to take tamoxifen 2x10mg/day during the 12week cycle and 6weeks post-cycle.
3. So I came across sarms. Your website is very informative and explanatory, and everything looks very 'too good to be true', and critical as I should be as a scientist myself, I should know that in most case 'then it's just not true'.
On top of that a lot of youtube movies about sarms that are very negative, I am sure you are aware of.
Conclusion:
So you see I have a lot of different questions on my mind and very little experience in this kind of products.
I could start 12weeks Andriol and wait for the (any?) results on energy, feeling, sex drive, muscle building...
I could try a sarm, but...
-then I would not know which one. Since I would wanna play on the "very safe side" I would try only one, the safest sarm, and would wanna expect results on feeling, mood, energy, workout performance, muscle building and eating more calories without getting fatter, and I would check T-bloodlevels... What type of sarm would you recommend in my specific case?
-Then I would also wonder: what after this 12week cycle? Back to feeling down, lossing power and gains?
-Side effects? Purity/quality of product?
I really hope you can help me out here with all these concerns.
I would really appreciate it.
