Lab results in but what to target for gains

[Rob94hawk]

I'm 43. Been using natural supplements only. Hit my wall. No further gains. Went to the doc and he wasn't concerned with the lab results and wouldn't prescribe me anything cause he didn't want to shut down my hormones by using anything. Just want to know what to concentrate on for decent gains of size and strength. So the lab results are:

Testosterone: 483 ng/dL (range 300-890)
Sex hormone Binding Globulin: 29 nmol/L (range 11-80)
Testosterone Free: 97 pg/mL (range 47-244)
Testosterone, Percentage free: 2% (range 1.6-2.9%

Is there any of these that I should be looking to increase for gains but not shut me down all together?

DAA @3grams
Serms
AIs

Serms and AIs f*ck up libido though


Or you could always cycle with hcg (mimics LH which stimulates testies to keep producing testosterone on cycle) ...

Honestly unless you are that weight at 6 pack abs showing and/or are benching/squatting/deadlifting 2x bodyweight probably looking at training and diet is going to be your real ticket to go further. You could try a product with nettle root / 3,4-divanillytetrahydrofuran in it for lowering SHBG to raise free testosterone some.

No. I got 10 pounds of blubber over my abs. My lean weight is 185. Would post a pic but not enough posts yet.

Thanks for the suggestions.

What are the gains you are looking for exactly?

Increase strength and size, increase lean body mass, get that shredded look we need to know what your looking for to point you in the right direction.

Do you want to stay away from all ph/aas? even the mildest risk shutdown.

What I'm looking for is a bit of size and strength. I'm not looking to get massive. I want mostly the strength of an MMA fighter with a good physique. As for the shredded look I kind of got there with diet. I ate right and leaned out to 185 but seemed to hit a wall with strength.

The cons to this whole thing is I'm an RN that works the night shift and my schedule is all over the place so I do not have the ability to take anything that requires a strict routine. This is why I've been sticking to basic supplements. I've tried fenugreek and a product called X Fit which included HICA and DAA which supposedly increases free testosterone levels. Which actually might have worked because I was able to finally rep 225 on the bench 10 times and hit a max of 285 which I haven't done since HS.

Maybe I'll try the nettle root along with fenu/X Fit stack again. Unless there's something better and not something that needs to adhere to a strict schedule.

Oh, as for the shutdown. Would only do it if it didn't involve anything complex.

Thanx for the help guys.
