I try to add in some other supplements with meals, such as HMB, MSM, ALA, CLA, Tribulus, & DHEA, but many times I don’t have time, so I skip these. I do eat some carbs, but not very many, because other than the gym, I am not active.

I have trained since I was 18, and it took me years to get a good muscular body. I was happy where I was at, but then I suffered major trauma, & a long coma; I lost most of my muscle to atrophy & "wasting". So now, I'm finally able to go to the gym, but I slipped far behind. I had to start with very light weight, and I have seen myself coming along nicely, and people have noticed that I am looking stronger all the time, and I am able to lift more weight as the weeks go by.

I do have good form and understanding of exercises, but genetically, nobody in my family has been naturally big or muscular, so it has always been difficult for me to make gains. At my age, I need all the help I can get in terms of hormones, to encourage my muscles to grow. So at this point, I am open to any options that will give me that little advantage to make the most of my efforts at the gym.

All you do is one exersice of 5 sets?

[niceshotman]

I do 5 exercises of 5 sets, & I do one body part per day, so for example:

Day 1: Back
Day 2: Bicep & Rear Delt & Forearms
Day 3: Chest
Day 4: Tricep
Day 5: Delt
Day 6: Legs, Calves
Day 7: Neck, Traps

Each Body Part Gets 5 different exercies, for Bicep example:
1. Preacher Barbell Curl
2. Standing EZ Bar Curl
3. Standing EZ Bar Reverse Curl
4. Standing Low Pulley Rope Curl
5. Standing Suppinated DB Curls

Then, for each of those exercises, I do 5 sets of about 10 reps each, usually working down in weight so I can get out about 10 reps during each set. So if I start heavy, I drop a little weight each time, so I can perform the 10 reps.

No offense man but if you're doing the same number of sets and reps for each bodypart and you are looking to add some bulk you are doing WAY to much. You are going to end up SERIOUSLY overtrained at some point. Google Rippetoes routine and get back to some basic compound movements. Doing a lot of movements for the same bodypart isn't always the best way to add on bulk. Try rippetoes routine for 6 months and you may not even need the prohormones. JMHO...
