    LOL. If you didn't hit the nail on the head. I been playing upper level tournament softball for years now and damn if you aren't telling my story. At 35 I was an absolute animal. I ran 300-600mg deca, 30O-600mg eq,200mg of test cypionate, and 4iu a day of high quality jintropin(when you could still find it). I did that for 16 weeks during the summer and was stronger, as fast as, and recovering better that when I was 27. I played tournaments every weekend, games every night, worked a physical job all day, and always got good heavy workouts in throughout the whole period. I felt unstoppable. Suddenly, around august I hit a wall. I had barely any energy. Felt achy, fatigued, and just a host of other feeling none of which were postive. I basically crashed.I tapered back to just HRT and all my blood work was fine until finally I came back positive for Epstein Barr Virus and then things started to make sense. Since that diagnosis 4 years ago I have never felt 100 percent again and when I push too hard I get fatigue and pain that is beyond anything normal. Sometimes I literally feel like I'm 39 going on 55. The other thing that has changed is that my body can't handle the anabolics as well anymore. I have to be really careful of what and how much I put in my body. I have to baby myself and as far as the softball goes these days. I am so shot after a couple games it's not worth the pain anymore. It's arthritis type pain through my whole body making it difficult to work and function in the days following. I see a pain management doctor for that, but I'm not looking to be loaded up on narcotics. I realize I'm saying quite a bit here, but that damn virus turned me into an old man over night.

    When you say upper level softball.I assume you play the conferance.I have never played A or Major but I have been on some good B teams.And I also hit that wall.I actually left the game for a while.Now after TRT and living right I am back in the game and feeling great.

    No just like you I played B/C and with a lot of major tournaments on the schedule. Now I am trying to sort my body out before I think about turning the softball back up. When the body is right everything else falls into place. What's your TRT protocol that has you feeing so good?

    I have been doing test c 2x's a week with HCG for the boys.I totally changed my diet (learned a ton from the diet section here) and plenty of rest each night.I also started training smarter instead of harder.The results are amazing so far with the lifestyle change.And instead of playing every night then traveling on the weekends.I play 1 night a week and practice 2x's a week.This seems to work for me.
