Hi all,
About 6 hours ago, I was 5 minutes from jabbing myself with 250 mg of Testosterone Enan for the first time in my life and heading down the gym. Luckily, I posted a pretty crap post on this forum and some kindly folk replied pretty quickly. What that showed me was that I needed to research this topic before I dived in.
Reading hundreds of threads over these past few hours has hopefully helped me to articulate my questions a little better and, more importantly, ask more pertinent questions.
I think the most fundamental is: Do you need to lift heavy weights for any aas to be effective?
I certainly can't lift even close to what I pushed 20-25 years ago when I was playing semi-pro ball and had a proper training plan mapped out for me by the team strength/speed coach. But that was all free weight deadlifts/squats/cleans/leg press. Nowadays, all I have acccess to, is 'Techno Gym' Leg extensions/curl machines. (I'm talking just legs)
So, if answer to above is 'NO', aas can and will help?
Then you need my stats:
H = 183
W= 260
BF=25% ?
Age = 49.9
My past:
Sprinter at school. Started boxing at 14. At that time, early 70's there wasn't the sort of information around as today. However, I read plenty of articles and understood how to train, what to eat and really enjoyed my gym sessions. Even, sad to say, the ones that really hurt. I switched my excercises around, shocked my system, peaked and plateaued, etc, etc.
Mid '80s - My playing weight was 245 with about 6% BF and, as a mesomorph, I achieved this weight naturally and found gaining and maintaining muscle mass fairly easy - It was just as easy to pile on fat though, especially in Winter. But as soon as the days grew longer, I only had to look at some weights for the fat to disappear pretty quickly. That was probably true up until a few years ago.
I trained with power lifters so I knew my way round a gym pretty well. Unfortunately, as I never used aas, I never really asked any questions about them. Hence my naievety now.
My Present:
A chronic knee condition has affected the amount of training I can now do on one of my legs. I really need to strengthen the Vastus medialis (and was about to start what I now know to be a cycle) hoping to build up my quads by using chemistry. What concerns me is that I may end up strengthening and building mass on all areas EXCEPT the quads which would be the exact opposite of what I require. That would be more weight for my bad knee to carry.
So, over to you guys. What would you do? You want to build up a specific area (Quads) but can't lift massive iron. You can use good form on a machine and hopefully as the cycle progresses, would be able to do more? What would you suggest for first and hopefully ONLY cycle? Fat loss would be a hugely beneficial side effect as less weight for the knees to carry.
Am I considering (with using injectable test) starting higher up the ladder than I need to. Would other combinations produce better results. Can I use something milder (a milder steroid, is that like being slightly pregnant?).
If sticking with Test - what PCT - what do I need to get?
Thx for any all responses.
Sorry my posts are still crap
