need advice

[griz101]

i am 22 1/2 yrs, 129 lbs, & 5'9"

i have had trouble gaining weight, low energy, etc. my natural test. level is in low 200's ng/mL, and from my understanding it should be near 1000 at my age (correct?). got prescribed androgel but did not see difference. docs are beating around the bush for past year to give me more & trying to go other routes, bc apparently docs don't want people using juice, but still not right.

i was able to secure t-cypionate. am i too young for this, or with my already low natural levels will this not harm me? i also have some arimidex, clomithene, & DHEA as well.

i am looking to gain weight, muscle mass and feel more like a 22 1/2 yr old.

advice? thanx

Personally if I were you I would consult a different doctor.

What does your diet look like?

bro at your weight we will advise against it. but your situation seems to be a little diff. imo at your stats you should only be using aas with supervision of a doc.

tried that...other doc told me to increase the andro. i am getting the feeling that docs do not like to prescribe this stuff. my levels went up minute, but enough to where i still am considered w/in the "normal" range of 250-1100, but i still think it should be higher.

your not going to a family doc are you? you need to see a specialist.

He needs to go to an endocrinologist and well as get on a solid nutritional plan

thanx. diet is pretty normal and healthy- eat about 5 times a day at least.

i started my cycle yesterday, too btw. i do have someone guiding me through this, but i wanted to get advise from here, too. since i started yesterday, would u recommend stopping or continuing and see how it turns out?

thnx

i saw fam doctor, then an endrocrinologist. was told the same thing.

[griz101]

hmm thanx ill look into it more.

does anyone suggest good literature to read (besides this website) to educate me bout gear and it effects, etc?

thnx bro.

[StillLearnin]

Not to be a d**k man, but dont you think you should have been educating yourself about the stuff and its effects before you started...long before?

[griz101]

no offense taken...i did research through people i know, etc. i was just wondering if there was one in particular u could recommend. trying to get opinions from all areas. thnx bro

Did those friends of yours helping you with this cycle explain that having little muscular mass will be a negative for gains?
The smaller your muscularity, the less androgen receptors you have. Think about it....

I'm a sports nutritionist,and I'm sure a majority of your issues lay with in your diet. BUT, you apparently feel drugs are your answer, so you are about to learn first hand, that isn't the case.

[StillLearnin]

Hes right man, sorry but 5'9" 130 pounds is nowhere close to where you need to be...instead of researching bout drugs spend a bunch of time checking into diets

[Pinnacle]

hmmmm....he logged off. I hope I didn't get him upset :-)

[griz101]

ya...thanx for the advice. i guess its just been frustrating bc ive tried different diets, etc., for the past almost year and haven't seen much in results. i will look into different diets, etc., as well. its not that im looking for the easy way out...i am just looking to feel normal!!

also- ive been told to take arimidex everyday during a cycle, but i have read that most take it after...does it make that big of a difference? thanx everyone.
