pituitary gland

[jnewton86]

When i was 14, i was involved in a dirt bike accident which affected my pituitary gland. It no longer produced testosterone and growth hormone. I currently take andro gel(testosterone) and human growth hormone by prescription to replace what my body doesn't make. What would you recommend for gaining mass? being its a steroid, and isn't a product that helps increase the production of testosterone, as it would be useless in my case.

posting more stats would get you a better answer. Your age, weight, years lifting and body fat %

Oh yeah, welcome to AR! You'll get lots of great advice and if you research you'll find lots of great info too.

did u smash your nuts into the gas tank???


and hmmm, ive heard androgel works but id opt for injection.

HCG can help you produce test but depending on how you injured your pituitary gland, maybe it wont work.

no, it was all head damage, broke my jaw and cracked my skull. Besides that, my age is 21, bodyfat is 18%, weight is 160, been lifting for three years, doing it seriously for one. ive heard testosterone cypionate stacked with dianabol was a good start. I dont know though if that will help though considering my case.

andro gel, its not my choice, i can only take what my doctor prescribes me so...

18% bf is pretty high and at only 160. Well, I am not going to bust your chops not making testosterone is likely a key factor. How much andro does he have you on? How often do you work out per week. Are you looking to put on more size or more strength or likely both?

[jnewton86]

4 pumps a day, which is 5g. workout 5-6 days a week. ill gauge my workouts depending on how long it takes me to recover. looking for both, size and strength. ultimately, i want to get as big as physically possible

i feel like you are getting the idea that you taking test would not help put on mass. just because your body doesnt naturally produce test does not mean that by inducing test into your body, be it synthetic or not, you wouldnt grow. in actuality, the more test thats in your body, the more you will grow. this means for bodybuilders that the more mg they inject of a certain testosterone, the stronger and bigger they will become. you would certainly be able to grow on test/dbol cycle that you referred to.

not necessarily, i just know there are supps that can increase the production of testosterone. would you recommend that cycle then, considering it would be my first? suppose the following question would be, what would happen to my system when i get off the cycle?? would my t-levels go back down?

My opinion would be this. Take a couple of months to read up a do a little more research on everything between roids and dieting etc. You want to be 100% knowledgeable about what you are putting into your body and how it will affect you.

I would also post your situation in the HRT forum just to get insight as to how your body will be affected since you are currently on HRT. Once you get enough info and still feel that you want to run a cycle then I have no problem giving you some insight.

I would also take a while before your cycle to get your BF% down a little. If you are trying to bulk up and run a cycle you will be stuffing your face and will put on some more fat.

alright appreciate the advice. question, ive found it easy to research steroids, but finding information on stacking, what to expect, and how to start i haven't been able to find much on, any sources or sites you recommend?

[VTliftVT]

between searching these forums and the main website here at www.steroid.com all that information will be available. there is also a list of stacks on the main website as well as stacking information for each individual steroid on the steroid profiles page.

for your first cycle i would honestly stick with just a test run anyway. something like test e at 500mg/week for 10 weeks. If you must stack with that then an oral like dbol at 25-30mg/day for weeks 1-4 would be good.
