What Do Anabolics Endurance Athletes Use? Regular Testosterone?

[ucimigrate]

Hi Everyone,

I am built like an endurance runner. It is very hard for me to gain strength and muscle (but not fat).

When I have been prescribed oxandrolone, I gained about 15 pounds. I know that sounds ridiculous; but, my hunger went up like a horse. I was simply lifting, eating 5000+ calories a day, and sleeping well.

I'm thinking that it might help me to switch a medication that hasn't taken up my hunger, like straight testosterone. Is that what cyclists, etc. use to preserve muscle mass and work harder when training?

I know you are asking about anabolics, but what's your diet and training like? What are your goals? Personally, I feel like those need to be fine tuned first.

I do know that endurance athletes frequently use other drugs like EPO in addition to anabolics. Many also need to keep their weight down so their weight to strength ratio is high and they are more competitive.
