Sorry guys this thread is strange, something is not right here!!! I dont know but just seems like some B.S. is lurking here. He is 26 with low test levels says he went to Dr for reg check up (nothing special) but he trains for competion and has never used steroids? Gets results that show low test levels??? WTF, ok first off if I trained for competion and my test levels where that low I would have a clue when I didn't want to work out and I wanted to chat with the girls at the salon more than train. He says he weighs 347lbs at 5'7" 29%BF Thats no where near bodybuilder status and if he is just 26 then when he turns 30 he will be 400lbs. This is his 1st post, I mean seriously I dont buy any of this. If you want to run a cycle and want advise just ask we are happy to help. If you have a medical question, ask but know this, we are not Dr's here (atleats most of us are not) we are practioners our knowledge comes from experience. You may very well have a problem but you are looking in the wrong place for the answer!!! This is my opinion and thats all it is.
I believe honesty is the best policy when you want help in a place like this!!!
The only thing that I can agree with what you said, is this was my first post. Given my previous workload, being an owner and operater of a real estate company on the east coast, I was putting in way too many hours. I never really let my workouts go, but obviously, diet slipped, and I only have myself to blame. This will be my first show, but second time dieting down for a show. I stated previously that I started my last diet at 29% and only made it to around 7, which wasnt stage worthy.
The reason I went to the doc was b/c I am 26 yrs old and weight 344, measured today, and was overall worried that I could have things wrong. I wanted to make sure my BP was inline, glucose ok, cortisol fine, and whatnot..,.which everything was. I went to another doc for a second opinion, since the first doc wont finish anything until my steroid test comes back. The second doc asked what all has been going on with my life, etc. and said that his thoughts are that the higher BF and excess stress is what is affecting me. His thoughts. We ran specifc tests for the following: FSH/LH, prolactin, free test, and thyroid. He wants to rule out and proceed with decreasing stress and building the test levels back up.
I didnt say that I am in bodybuilder shape right now, but that is what I train for each and every day. I plan on being on stage around the 240's, so I feel happy that at 26 and naturally I have done that. I dont want to run any steroids if I dont have to...I dont have an issue, I just dont want em, not bashing. I also dont understand your comment on weighing 400lbs at 30 either. I am not out to bash you, so please dont make irrational statements like that. My body fat has always been higher, unless I diet. I wanted to bulk up with no regard to fat really. May not be the best way, but thats how I did it. I wanted to hit 300lbs, then decided I wanted a few more pounds. Eating 800-1000 carbs each day is an easy way to add some weight. I will be happy, once I have comp photos to post them if you would like to see them. Yes, I have fat on me, but given my long contest dieting, I am not worried about losing the weight or the comp. I have either 29 weeks, but the show I am promoting may get canceled due to having no location, or I have until Nov 14th in California.
I am sorry if you think I am full of bs, but honestly, I have far better things that I can be doing with my time, than fabricating some story on a forum where I dont know anyone. That makes no sense. I am not looking to get a rise out of anyone, I was posting b/c I was flipped out that my test levels were lower and the first doc, PA I mean, thinks tumor. Just added more stress than needed. Always great to seek second advice as he takes major life things into the situation. I hope that the blood work comes back fine, and I am just stressed out and fatter than I need to be. No biggie to me.
