Such a recalcitrant attitude from a member should not encourage us to resort to the kinds of tactics which we ourselves detest.
Using methamphetamine is not in anyway akin to using anabolic steroids at a young age, and furthermore, there is absolutely NO peer reviewed evidence which demonstrates a causal relationship between teenage supraphysiologic doses of testosterone and a permanent inhibition of the bodies HPTA. At best it is ill-advised. This board has a propensity to propagate a number of topics and information which has no basis in scientific fact, yet because it has been repeated ad nauseum it is accepted as gospel. It is of course, completely ill advised for someone who has not finished developing to introduce anabolic steroids of any kind into their body at a young age, especially before full maturation of the bodies HPTA and natural closure of its epiphyseal plates. ILL-ADVISED, but certainly not on par with the severe damage that the use of methamphetamines causes to the body and the brain, so to state such as fact is just as irresponsible as to embark on a cycle without the proper knowledge.
With regards to the OP.... You would be wise to heed the advice of the members on here, whilst ignoring the propaganda and parroted information passed down from one e-generation to the other. You can achieve the goals that you are seeking with diet & exercise only. AAS are powerful hormones which should only be used after extensive research and when your body is an optimal state, as testosterone for instance causes significant changes to ones lipid profile (good&bad cholesterol), and it is my best guess that after being in drug rehabilitation, you have been abusing your body for quite some time, and it would appreciate a rest from exogenous substances. Consequently, AM cardio on an empty stomach can burn a significant number of calories, and I would recommend weight training at least 3 times per week as well. Follow a proper diet (see the diet section), the members in that section would be happy to help you build a diet commensurate with your goals. The added benefit of the exercise you'll be doing during the week will be to help re-establish homeostasis to your endorphine production, which has likely been negatively impacted by whatever drug caused you to be in rehabilitation. Please stick around, and myself and the other members on the forum will be happy to point you in the right direction, so long as you will receive our advice with an open mind. I congratulate you on making an excellent conscious decision to better your life.
