I'm deployed to afghanistan right now. 4 months left till I go home and looking to surprise my wife with a new me. I'm currently taking myofusion protein BSN nitrix pills fish oil and BSN volumaize. I was thinking of taking d-Androbol to increase mass and gains any advice? Please forgive me for being new to all this just looking for some advice.

Keep it simple. You can get bigger and lose your gut by just eating clean and training hard. Protein, creatine, fish oil and BCAA to aid recovery.
Sleep 8+ hours a night and lift heavy and light cardio after training...
Eat slightly over maintenance calories to build but keep them clean.

sounds easy enough. Any advice about Anabolics? I wanna see some fast results but I'm looking a little embarrassing when it comes to weights lol

[runner_79]

Anabolics are a last resort man.
There is no "quick" fix
Takes time

Ok. Well I have 4 months hopefully I can see a change when I get back to the states! Ive been eating a lot of salads and protein shakes. Thanks for all your help brother! Ill keep u posted.

Drop shakes man...eat WHOLE foods... 6 meals a day
Each meal contains all 3 macros... Clean,lean and healthy

Cheers man

He's deployed. There's no 6 meals a day likely. And I'm army and know how lacking the protein is in chow/MREs/mermites

I'd say keep the shakes, just hit the gym and make progress slowly. Anabolics won't give lasting gains without a base

[dk6995]

Thanks James yea it's pretty hard to get 2 meals a day out here let alone 6 lol.

[jamesm11]

No problem. At least you have a gym and stuff, so you're on at least a decent sized FOB and not a small post.

The sodium is killer with that food too. Keep your water high, throw the shakes in, and lift. It's probably easier to bulk then cut or recomp. But there are ways, I lost 15lbs at OCS and kept most of my strength

[runner_79]

I was unaware about that. Eat and train

[rochabp]

take it easy stick to the basics like runner said and dont try and get too fancy. BTW not fan of bsn not hating imo its just too expensive and kinda muscletech-y. i guarantee u could find stuff that will produce same results if not better than what bsn is offering at cheaper prices. dont jump onto anabolics till u feel u pushed yourself naturally to the max.

Work harder, eat better, sleep better. Its all in your head. push yourself that little extra every workout and you will be suprised when those 4 months come around. The game is all about motivation... you gotta want it.

[RenegadeRows]

I agree. There's too much to worry about ON cycle, while being deployed.

Something like Creatine, a pre workout product, or maybe even something like Powerfull or Blue Gene would give you the motivation & edge you need.

It's good having an edge. The whole "steak and milk" routine works, but it's boring. The extreme "anabolics" route is dangerous and unnecessary. I found the truth somewhere in the middle, using natural supplements to aid my training. It keeps things interesting and helps me push myself.

Good luck and thanks for serving

[runner_79]

simple:
blue up for T boost, wraath for aminos and probably through in blue gene (Controlled labs) for overall health and maybe a cordygen by MST for extra oxygen pumps Preferably cre-02
protein, carbs(sweet potato and lots of vegetables) and some fat. sleep

[dk6995]

Thanks for all the help guys haven't been able to get on in a while but I'm gonna take a few before and after pics and see how it goes. Hopefully we can see some results!!
