Hi. New to this board and have started indepth reading regarding my entry into chemically enhanced bodybuilding. I'm 44 and have been training on and off since i was 16. I don't think that i've ever gotten my diet right, but with the assistance of an experienced trainer i feel that i'm getting on the right track. recently i started (at his suggestion) a beginner's dose of Test E of 100mg for 5 weeks. on the 6th week i did 200mg and then a week later needed to use the remainder of the amp which was about 60mg. this was a sloppy way to start a cycle but my trainer was irresponsible and i may have lost my connection to quality gear. i'm in Toronto. so. i was thinking of either going off entirely because it will be 3 weeks since my last shot and i wanted to check my Test levels with blood work for my MD (i think 5 weeks should be all clear with half-life). i'm trying to see if i can get it prescribed as Hormone Replacement therapy through a Dr. that i have already discussed this with (he doesn't know that i want to use it for bodybuilding). -- with this site and forum, i'm hoping to talk to some like-minded people and get good, solid, informed and experienced advice to a number of questions that come up. thanks for feed back. please message/email me directly.
