My problem is with the mounds and mounds of inconsistency in the "research" that you all say I need to do. One website claims that one supplement does nothing and another site will say the opposite. I would argue that those of you that think you're well-researched and educated on anabolic supplements could find a person or source that completely disagrees with you.
I'm not looking to take hardcore stuff like Winstrol but looking for something that will help boost test levels. I was hoping on getting clarification on the way some of you guys take these supplements. I understand HOW they work I even know the difference between androstenedione and androstenediol but the information on how to take them is what is confusing.
Hey bro,
First off, as NOS said, congrats to wanting to better yourself and build your body, however you are going about it wrong.
Bodybuilding is a marathon race. What you appear to be doing is a sprint. There is no magic supplement, PH, DS, or injectable that will make you huge overnight.
The first thing you need to do is get a good routine down. For this I highly recommend you read Starting Stregnth by Mark Rippetoe. Amazon should have it. He will show you a good powerlifting routine that is easy to follow, well designed and best of all he will make sure your form is in proper shape. The results from this routine alone are amazing.
Secondly, you need to work on your nutrition. Before you can ever look at a steroid, you need to read up on nutrition. Your diet should be 100% on par before making that step. Go into our nutrition forum and read and absorb everything. Eat, Eat and Eat. If you are above your regular calorie intake, you will grow. Not growing? Eat another 500 calories a day. You will find your spot. Visit fitday.com and register an account. Its free and will help you calculate your dietary calories and macros (carbs/fat/protein). This is step two.
Third, make sure you are getting sleep. I know to many people who work their ass of in the gym, eat what they
think is decent, and then party till 6am every night with no rest. Your body needs rest to put on that muscle. Period.
After these 3 are in check, progress naturally for a month. You will make progress, I guarantee it. After 3-4 months, you should start playing with supplementation, but stick to your basics. Try
Creapure, it is one of the easiest ways to give your body "an edge." Take
IBCAAs throughout the day.
If you really want to boost testosterone levels, do it naturally. A good product is
PhytoTest. It will naturally increase your testosterone levels. When you have been doing this for a year or two, hit me up, then we can have a worthy discussion on hormonal products.
For protein supplementation, a
whey drink will make it easier to meet your macros.
