Just got first shot and scrip

Johnny how did you find your clinic, did you just do a search for Anti Aging Clinics in your area? What type of questions did you ask them before you made your appointment? I'm personally having a hard time finding any doctor who knows what the hell they are doing and might have to self treat myself...although that's the last thing I wanted to do. Unfortunately they make it difficult.

I actually found them in a roundabout way. I was thinking about trying to find a doc, and someone I know when to work for this place. They told me to come in and talk to the owners about designing a website. In the meeting I found out the do AA stuff as well as their main business (doctor supervised weight loss). I didn't ask any questions before I scheduled an appointment because they said it was a free consultation...I figured I would ask all my questions there. I asked my questions, the doctor was knowledgeable and I decided to take the plunge. I had blood taken and she gave me my first shot. Bam, pow, I was done.

JohnnyV - I just wanted to say you bastard! hehe seriously, it sounds like you found a keeper for sure. Allow's you to pin yourself, doesn't restrict you on meds, allows you to be at a high-normal level, charges a reasonable rate - nice!

They seem to not be overly conservative, but I also felt like they really care about patients being supervised and healthy. I think it is a good fit for me as I am not trying to maximize my dosage. I have been struggling with a back problem that makes my workouts sporadic, so it isn't like I am trying to get big gains at this point.

good that you note that...definately be careful and use good form you can/will start lifting heavier and it's cool to start deadlifting 3 plates on each side for reps and more but CAREFUL...use GREAT form!

I am SO frustrated that I cannot lift like I used to. I am putting some thought into how I can get back to the gym safely. I need to avoid compressing the spine, so bicep and shoulder exercises are a problem. Squats and deadlifts might be out forever, or unless I have surgery.

I will be posting the info in the "workout" section for advise. I am sure there are a few others working around back problems.

i know what you mean...i cant stay away from deads altogether so i just stay light to moderate...its still a great back exercise to keep those muscles full and strong...
yes a lot of guys have to work around their injuries...just take it slow...cant u do seated curls and OH presses on a seat with back
