Slow metabolism, roids and everything else

Ok, here we go.
First things first. I'm 26 years old, been lifting since I was 15. I've done 6/7 cycles. I never had a very fast metabolism, but when I was training hard and my diet was on check, I could get results, which would then be improved with a good cycle.
I did a stop in august last year (2005). I had a problem with an injection and decided to give a break. Since then I became a little bit sloppy (?), I didn't do any exercise at all, my diet wasn't too great either. I didn't put on great amounts of weight, but my body did change a lot. I must have added around 15 pounds, but my body composition totally changed. I noticed that I lost that hard look that I use to have when I was training, even if I wasn't using steroids. I didn't get REALLY fat or so, but my muscle/fat ratio did change a lot. So far I guess this is nothing unusual.
The thing is: I decided to go back training, since I was really missing it and my body was almost begging me. I began seven weeks ago. I began training every single day. Cardio every day, weight traning 3 times/week (2 muscle groups/day). Other than this, I've been dieting really hard. I cut all the junk foods and have been eating turkey, grilled fish, vegetables, lot of salads, never eat carbs past 5 pm, eat a lot of fruit and low fat yogurts. I cut pretty much on carbs and i usually take a week a day to go a little bit sloppy, eat a bar of chocolate or so. I even stopped smoking 2 months ago.
The thing is, and I'm pretty sure of this, my body is reacting MUCH slower to the positive changes I've done - hard training and diet - and I'm really not sure why. I really can't get lean no matter how I try. My body always seems bloated, like having an extra fat/water. I'm pretty sure my metabolism is much slower. Even if I'm not juicing, by the training and diet I'm doing I should be getting much better results. I will be starting a new cycle in a couple of weeks, tren/test cycle. Will this give the boost my body is needing?
The thing is, I was never the guy to do bulking cycles since my body doesn't really respond very well to them. Last cycle I was only doing one Sustenon 250/week along eq and tren and I had to change to one sust every ten days cause I was still getting too bloated, and I was doing proviron 50 mg ED. This is to give you an idea how my body reacts to certain compunds. I've achieved pretty good results with compunds like equipoise, winny, anavar and especially tren. I get vascular, I get really motivated, have my diet on check and my body really transforms. But I know i cannot get too close to gear like (too much) test. I've never done dianabol just because I know it wouldn't suit me and I get bloated just thinking of things like anadrol. I also did t3 and clenb, both together and separated with good results. I've also to add that I'm using a good thermogenic and I can't get a result from it. I've tried lots of thermogenics - and here I have to say a word to the big guys around here cause T-rex was just THE shit - and always got better results, even when doing less rated/weaker products than this one (ok, I'm using Lipo6. Don't go hitting on me, Af store guys. I do like your products, btw :) )
Despite all this, I always got much better results than the ones I'm getting now.
I'm putting a picture of myself. This was taken on the summer of 2003. I remember I was doing some eq/winny.

So, after all: do you think my slow metabolism has to do with me stopping for so long? I'm mainly searching for 2 things: why I'm I "slower" than usually and, specially, how do I change this situation? Should I just wait and it will change by itself? Will my cycle give me the boost I need? Should I try anything like t3?
Just add your 2 cents on all this.
Obviously, any comment willl be appreciated, but I would definitely like to hear macro on this one. Any other knowledgeble guys are welcome. Well, everybody is :)

Thnx for your patience for reading all this crap.

Bump :)
 
That is a long sentence, is your native language Portuguese?


Your cycle of Fina and test will work for your system


Try that new supplement, amplify 02 with the Tren/Test, it will get you going.


You write like you have a fast metabolism

that's was a long read but really informative, here is a diet OMEGA found that looks like it would work well for you, i'm going to use it the last 8 weeks of my cutter i have left. actually i'm cutting on 50mg prop ED because it's all about diet, not gear.
You kept mentioning that you easily bloat which is why you won't run test or dbol. Those compunds aromatise, meaning they convert to estrogen and the estrogen causes the bloat, if you don't want to hold water use an aromatse inhibitor, it's as simple as that. since you said you easily bloated off of 250mg test/w and you're having a hard time getting results now, maybe you have high aromatase activity and/or low test levels. you should get some blood work done and get test for total and free testoserone levels. that'll be a start because if you're having a hard time now, you'll make good progress on cycle, but then what? it's best to make sure everthing is up to par first.

Well, I do have a normal sex life, but I sure had better. Maybe I should mention that i take some anti depressants. Well, it's part of a treatment and i take really minor dosages, but when I was on higher dosages I had lots of trouble to ejaculate and even to have sex. I've cut the dosage to half and now I'm ok, but I've had better.
Do you guys recomend something like tribulus/zma? And as for the cycle, I will be taking 250 test/week. Do you feel that's ok? Yes, I think you're right, my test levels may be a bit down. I think I will get the boost with the cycle, but don't wanna break down again after.
Bump.
