Thread: Army Vet

    Cool Army Vet

    Good Evening,

    Ladies and Gentleman, I am excited to officially be on a forum. I've been perusing these forms after my first bodybuilding show in 2014. I am a recently discharged US Army soldier. I have weight trained for 12 years, 3 high-school football, 2 years under the THOR3 program for Special Operations, 1 year under Alan Hendricks (Head Strength & conditioning coach for the NSCA as well as a CO Olympic team strength coach). and the last 3 years I've been training towards bodybuilding shows.

    Stats:
    5'7"
    194lbs
    16-18%BF (as of today, currently dieting down )

    S/B/DL/OHP - 450/370/430/250

    I've went down to 164lbs at around ~7% twice in preparation for shows, one without drugs, and another with a prohormone and clen. I'm very aware of diet imporatance.

    Cycle history

    After my shows I decided I wanted to become more competitive, so I tried a cycle under some guidence of my then-coach

    2015 -
    June - Aug = 400 Test C - 10 wks
    Sep - Oct = Test/Mast/Prop -4 weeks
    Oct-Nov - Clomid 50mg - 4 weeks
    2016
    Clomid - 50 mg - 4 weeks (Attempted mini HTPA restart)
    Clean ever since

    All my strength was natural, and holds current. I only did 14 weeks for show prep and ended up not going through the whole thing due transitioning from the Army to College. What I am looking for on this forum is advice on what I think to be ASIH ( Anabolic - Steroid - Induced - Hypogondaism ). I also would like to start looking around for a plan to start smart-cycling, but I will want to get around 10% before I even attempt. I also am at a cross roads because I think I might still have about 10lbs left before I start nearning genetic limits... (Maybe?). I will be posting my question to the appropriate form. Thank you for the welcome thread and I'll see you all around!

    Also, what thread do you suggest would be the best to post my question?

    Welcome.

    Post in the questions and answers. Have you had any blood tests to see where your hormones are at?

    Thank you Euroholic

    I have had 3 blood tests after, unfortunately I forgot to get bloods before and during.

    Feb 2016

    Testosterone, Serum (404) 348-1197 ng/dL 01
    Luteinizing Hormone LH - (2.5) 1.7-8.6 mIU/mL 01
    FSH, Serum (0.4) LOW 1.5-12.4 mIU/mL 01

    Estradiol (19.5) 7.6-42.6 pg/mL

    August 2016

    Testosterone, Serum (474) 348-1197 ng/dL 01

    Luteinizing Hormone(LH), (5.0) 1.7-8.6 mIU/mL
    FSH, Serum (0.5) LOW 1.5-12.4 mIU/mL
    Estradiol (33.1) 7.6-42.6 pg/mL



    October 2016

    October 14th

    Total Testosterone 271 241-827
    LH 2.8
    FSH 0.4
    Prolactin 4.9

    October 26th
    Total Testosterone 310 241-827


    The range says I'm fine, and my Veterans Affairs doctor doesn't think I need any help. However after the cycle last year I've felt very out of energy, very hard to diet for bodyfat, tired in the gym (almost feel like I'm moving in syrup if that makes sense), Erectile dysfuction <--- Huge, I used to be very very sexually charged and libido was high before that cycle. I notice ED (which never happened before, ever) after PCT.


    I'm going over to the QA form now for discussion.

    Whats up Marsoc
