nerdogray wroteHad to google that one. I know a bodybuilding coach and he told me some stories of when he trains guys for olympia and the kind of stuff they take...My favorite hack is Anadrol.

nerdogray wroteDefinitely try it. It's no joke. In fact I take way less creatine since taking HMB. I actually prefer creatine serum ATP because there are zero side affects for me, the powder always gives me issues in various forms. I also really like Fenugreek and Tribulus. I stay leaner and more muscular when I take those. Sure some will call it placebo, but I stop taking them from time to time and notice a difference.I've had HMB on a long list, and I've never gotten down to it.
xander_g wroteHow did you hurt your back?Depends on your body type, previous injuries, etc.
I have pre-existing back problems so I'm unable to do a lot of exercises at the gym, so I've been doing my best to focus on nutrition and lifestyle choices - no longer drink alcohol or smoke, limited sugar and caffeine intake, etc.
Wakeup - Glutamine, protein, creatine with water
D3 x4, K2 x1, omega3 x2, anti inflammatory supplements for my back
daily
nerdogray wroteWait a second - did you say 51 different supplements?! I also like Alpha Lipoic Acid for recovery… Alpha brain I actually liked when I tried it but not “muscle building” so kinda off topicI've had HMB on a long list, and I've never gotten down to it. I've just tried so many things I've pretty much given up. At one point over ten years ago, I was taking 51 different supplements per day. It was a bit much. It was also expensive. I need testosterone and keep it in the 600-800's. I simply do not produce any naturally as a result of being primary hypo (not drug induced). I take K, D3, small amount of fish oil, CoQ10. Beet root powder and creatine pre-workout. Aside from a few "extras" at low dose, that's it... a far cry from where I started originally. Even went through a nootropic phase, oral and injectable. Also a few anti-aging cycles. My telomeres are now so long they stick out of my skin.
My genetics are garbage. Even my own testicles knew the best option for the overall gene pool was to just shut down.

How did you hurt your back?
I don't use alcohol, very limited sugar (trail mix and fruit), and caffeine, thankfully I have gotten back to normal intake (green tea). For a moment there I was fairly hooked in celsius/ghost

UncleWede wroteIt's for muscle?Any info on Shilajit before I drop $~70 for a month?
57, diabetic, shit diet (check the dinner and lunch threads). I had T tested about 3 years ago and Dr. said everything was better than expected for my age.
Akaneedles wroteMy test was right at 300 last May. A year later, clean eating, strength and HIIT training and mine doubled. No supplements other than Creatine and BCAA. I have also lost 60 poundsIMO, if over 40 get your test checked. If low TRT would be best option.
Mason Hatcher wrote^1000% this.My test was right at 300 last May. A year later, clean eating, strength and HIIT training and mine doubled. No supplements other than Creatine and BCAA. I have also lost 60 pounds
I strongly suggest anyone with low test try good nutrition and strength training.
floridaorange wroteNot specifically, I don't think. More in the realm of general nutrition, sufficient trace elements.It's for muscle?
xander_g wroteWhat kind of anti-inflammatories do you suggest. Also looking for any insight on post workout recovery stuff. Was a big fan of IGF-1 but don't trust that stuff to be honest.Depends on your body type, previous injuries, etc.

A complete blood panel is a good start to see where you're at and looking at values as not being in acceptable ranges, key is to get as close to optimal.
Consistency with nutrition is where it all came together for me, after running a calorie deficit for approximately 3 months, I'm currently adjusted to:
2150 cals, 224 grams of protein, 170 grams of carbs and 52 grams of fat per day
Schedule looks roughly like:
Wakeup - Glutamine, protein, creatine with water
D3 x4, K2 x1, omega3 x2, anti inflammatory supplements for my back
1/1.5 hours later - workout
Meal 1 (egg bites, turkey bacon, potato hash) zinc x1
3.5/4hrs later
Meal 2 (chicken or beef, sweet potato or rice, veg)
3.5/4hrs later
Meal 3 (salmon, no carbs, veg only)
45 min before bed magnesium x2, zma x1, anti inflammatory supplements for my back
All meals are 6oz protein, 4oz starch, 4oz veg.
I am fortunate enough to know someone who runs a catering business and a meal prep company and his food tastes amazing, I pick it up fresh from his shop once a week. Therefore, there is 0 guesswork and 0 time spent on shopping, planning, cooking, etc. Works out to be cheaper too. Having a trainer or someone that you can go to the gym with helps with accountability as well.
Or you can eat clen, tren hard anavar give up lol.
