Hey guys,
I am a cyclist and lifter (on gear) training for a cross country USA bike trip that begins in August. This will be about 7-10+ hours of biking each day for 47 days straight, a rest day every 11 days. I am training and prepping as suggested, and I am already in pretty solid shape as is. ~9% BF, 190 lbs, 5'11", 36 y.o.
I am on a program from an anti-aging doc. that includes (all legal rx from a pharmacy)
test cyp. 125mg/week
HCG not sure of dosage
Omnitropin HGH 3iu/day. (only on month 3 of this..will hit month 6 the day I start trip)
Anastrazole 2mg/week
DHEA 50mg/day
other vitamins, etc.
All of this will continue indefinitely...so I will not stop any of it.
My current labs show:
Total Test: 1200
Free Test: 24.6
Estradiol: 20
Glucose: 80
IGF-1: 300 and still increasing
Hematocrit: 50
So in the past I have noticed if I increase my test cyp, it increases energy and strength. This usually occurs about a month after the increase (I believe..correct me if I am wrong). However, with the increase, my weight increases pretty quickly as well. Anyone who cycles knows that an extra 10-15 lbs is a lot to carry uphill!
So, obviously there is a performance tradeoff there. What I have considered doing for my trip is to slowly increase my test cyp. to maybe 200mg/ml per week a month before the trip to gain the added performance, but not put on a ton of weight before I leave. I assume that this will also keep me from losing too much muscle during my trip since I will be going through about 5000 calories of cardio a day. My question is, does anyone have any recommendations on how to best handle this - getting the increased energy without the bloating/extra weight associated with increased AAS? I can also just do nothing and keep my levels as they are, which may be the best solution after all. Any insight is much appreciated!
