You can look up my thread in the new members section to get some background on me, as this post is long enough:
http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?t=429688 . Bottom line I was severely injured in Iraq. Without getting into too much details which could potentially give me away to prying eyes, there are two things I am concerned about. First is my leg, hip and butt on the side which took the injury. In addition to it being generally weak and full of holes (literally, who knows what tunneling shrapnel has done to the overall muscle), about 90% of my soleus is gone, and about 20% of my gastroc. I am actually contemplating amputation becuase of this and some nerve damage, but I have so litle tissue down there I need to stregnthen that leg regardless (which is tough with so little muscle and so little neurological conrol over it).
On top of this, whats making it dificult to train are my low testosterone levels since the injury. I guess I should be happy to have a cock and balls to begin with (literally, there are shrapnel wounds an inch to the left, inch to the right and inch to the back...yes that back one gave me an extra asshole for awhile) however there was never damage in that area. Initially, I couldn't feel my penis at all, slowly (and very happily) the feeling returned. After about 5 months, I was finally able to ejaculate again, and about a month after that, with the help of ED medication, I was able to get it up.
After that I still had issues with ED, however I believe it was likely due to the large amounts of narcotic pain medication I was on, including methadone (the worst). However, having come off of it and stabilized after the terrible detox, I still have issues. My doctor believes the nerve damage still has something to do with it. He continues me on ED medication, and recently I had a testosterone panel done. The results came in and I am only in the high 300s of total test. The other numbers were not good either. This is a far cry from my pre-deployment days, when I felt it was the goal of divine providence to put me out to stud with the libido I had. And although I did a cycle of sustenon back in the day, I have had just as good results in the past with supplements like celltech, myoplex deluxe, and all those other muscletech gakic, leuckic, NO2 things out there. With good supplement usage I never hit a plateau, and was also in very strong cardio shape.
Due to my situation of having all of my health care done through the military, I cannot get HRT, although I strongly feel I need it (not just the sex thing, I have very little energy, have been borderline anemic since the injury almost 30 months ago, "physically" depressed - where I can fight it with my mind but its getting harder and harder). I also wasn't to look for something that can potentially help me build brand new muscle fibers in the injured leg.
Therefore, I was hoping I can get some ideas for a cycle. I was hoping to include HGH, regardless of the expense (well...somewhat regardless, don;t have stallone money to spend of course). If anything, it will at least give me enough strength to ensure that amputation, if required, would be a breeze.
My necessary stats:
>H/W/A - 6'1, 205 lbs, 27
>BF% - I have an athletic build even with all the injuries and am certainly not "fat". To be honest though Im not so concerned with being ripped, much more so with being in shape and, well, having a decent 'shape"
>Training experience - Considering I was 230 with a bench/squat/dlift total of over 1200 pounds while being able to run sub 12 minute 2-miles in IRAQ, I think Ive got lots of muscle memory potential
>Experience - one baby 8 week cycle of sust back in college. Combined with other supplements (one was that 1-AD stuff which was pretty legit for being legal at the time). Went very well.
What I am thinking:
Base of Test E and Deca. Does pyramiding it over 10-12 weeks make sense?
*Maybe* D-bol or something milder for the 1st 4 weeks.
An aggressive PCT afterwards, especially with my hormone issues right now.
HGH/IGF-1 or both throughout (doubt I can afford this), EOD injections
I have been skimming through and theres almost information overload on here! I used to have a bit of knowledge back in the day when I was the typical obsessed ~20 year old (in fact after my cycle I grew up a bit and felt I did not need them, at least until I was much older; now though its due to external circumstances). I like to do my due diligence, and as a member of many other forums - mostly car and weapon related - so I know how to search these things. To be honest though, with my unique situation and all the other things going on(i.e. very aggressive PT, which with my low test and hemocrit puts me out of commission for the rest of the day) I am hoping some of the experts on here can cut me a break and work with me and educate me directly on how I should approach this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
