Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

should i change my workout routine up till i get my levels up e.g. going heavy, and do you believe doing 200mg/wk of test will help with cutting or is that still mostly wasting my time?

thanks man.

keep the test in, that will put you at just above normal ranges with that dose and it isnt going to hurt anything and will most likely help. i wouldnt change how you are training either. train to your ability and as hard as possible would be my suggestion. now my thought that is coming to mind about you not being able to drop your bodyfat is it could possibly be you have excess estrogen. if you estro is super high it is damn near impossible to get your bf down. may need some blood work to check it or if you arent going to get bloods done i would go with an estro killer like aromasin a dex or letro. in that order of pref for me. if you go the aromasin route start at 25mg for about 3wks then cruise at 12.5mg ed for the remainder. if you go with dex then 1mg eod or e3d. letro is about the same as aromsin but is way more harsh and normally sucks for sex drive and damn near everything else so most only use it as a last resort or an emergency with gyno

In a way its cool to know Im not the only one who still makes common mistakes like that. Especially on squats I tend to hold my breath when I know deep down breathing would help. Me and you are opposites on that food statement. When I feel like crap the only thing I want to eat is crap. haha

seems like for me with squats when i get fatigued everything stays tight other than my breathing and by the time i catch it i am already dizzy and past the point of recovery during the set. when i push myself beyond and ready to puke training it usually wrecks my appetite for the day. that's why i lose the desire for cheats on most of these heavy leg days

Hey guns do these estrogen killers work for girls like me??

yep they sure do. more estrogen or an over abundance of estrogen in either sex equals more fat and water. got to be even more conservative with a woman than a man on this one also. start way way low and tweak it up slowly if needed. i would say a 1/4th of the dose
