I just came from the gym and its terrible

What is terrible?

[Ree24]

I can't bench 135 over 5 reps, after one or two sets I feel so burned out I want to leave. I have been back in the gym for about 5 months and still no improvements. I have tried every single supplement @ GNC they have suggested only to gain water weight and feel bloated.

5'9 190 lbs
12% body fat
I diet really good ( no bad food wife is a nutritionist)
I used to have really good genetics and played sports all my life, thanks for the reply!

Go see an anti aging type of doctor. Get a bloodtest as your natural testosterone levels may be down, you could be anemic, could be lots of things.
At your size 135 5 times isn't even my warmup weight, so there is a definate lack of something there.

welcome to the forum and as mentioned with your stats you should be much stronger.

Well I just got my blood test results back and it came back that my testosterone are very low which they gave me some kind of cream to rub on my balls. I don't think this is going to work but I am willing to try to try anything that helps.

How low is your natural Test? I know the feeling of what you're going through, and it sucks. Did your general practitioner do the blood work, and did she/he make any other suggestions?

Yeah it was my general practitioner she said that its due the the wreck I was in but didn't really give me any solutions (just some ball cream I been using for a year). She did mention I could go see a doc. in TJ since I am in San Diego. She said they have medicine that they cant use out here due to laws but be careful. She has been my doc since I turn 16 and is really good she feels sorry for me lol. She remembers how I used to look. My levels were 218 ng low I know but it is up from last year @ 184ng lol

I would suggest visiting a urologist. Have the results of all bloodwork you have done with your gp sent to his office, so you don't need to fork out the cash to do it again. By showing your older test results, he will get a fuller picture. If he doesn't write you a script for Test injections, or something comparable, you really ought to go to a hormone replacement therapy clinic. Find out what is necessary to get insurance to cover, at least, a portion of it. I really hate to sound negative, but from the sound of it, you may be needing the HRT for quite a while.
Come to think of it, did you receive any sort of coverage for medical issues and injuries, sustained from your accident? I mean, that could be your solution, right there. If, in fact, this is a long-term effect of the accident, you may be covered. Shit, you oughta be. With help from your sympathetic doctor, you may be able to provide records to build a case.

Btw, I lived in SD, for 2 years. Have you ever had the pleasure of laying a $60 hooker at Adelita's, in TJ?

[Metamorphosis]

I hear ya on this one. I wish I could grow faster too!!!! lol

[Vettester]

Sounds like you might be primary hypogonadism. Definitely get into see a specialist and get it taken care. You can visit us in the HRT section of this forum to get more answers, advise, stories pertaining to test replacement therapy.
