I posted the thread below in the steroids section. and was advised that I the training forums may be a better source of advice.

Please read on (un edited)



Hello to all.

I would like some advise about what types to use? methods of use/options? what types should be used or cycled with one another? do i have to use injections? Hope that's not too much to ask...? Yes that means I've not yet dabbled but very curious to get started.

Just looking for general advise to allow me to focus my research with greater accuracy.

I am not being lazy, i've been reading up on the interweb and there seems to be some conflicting info out there and i'm still trying to get some definitive answers to the questions above.

The first question is (and should always be IMHO) what do I want to achieve?

A:: In order of priority...
Minimal side effects
Optimum power to weight ratio
Increased muscular strength (allowing me to train harder)
Increased CV endurance
5-10kg lean muscle increase
Reduce my body fat to 8-9%

My stats
31
5'10"
170lb
15% body fat
been training sporadically for 6 years
5 meals per day (protein shake used in place of proper feed occasionally)
2-3ltr of water per day
Good quality multivit
fish oil supp
aloe vera juice drink

What training am I doing?
Fasted early morning cardio (wearing my X-vest) = 6days p/w (45minutes)
Cross country running with calisthenic intervals to break it up

I am a chef and so i am on my feet for 50hrs a week on average
considering wearing my X-vest whilst at work too (overload principal)

Afternoon/evening training session 4 days p/w, this could be any of the following...
Calisthenics
Long distance run (typically covering 6-7miles in that time)
kayaking
Rock climbing
Tae Kwon Do Class
Swimming
Cycle ride
Hill walk with my X-vest

I compete in no drug tested sports but I am planning to enter (2nd time around) a gruelling endurance race held each July. my training is geared towards fitness for that event currently.

PB = 16hrs DNF (30minutes from the finish was asked to retire! GUTTED!!!)
Target time = 12hours (unfinished business LOL)
Race record = 8:10 (two of the current British Olympic triathlon squad)

Forgive me if this is a little long winded but though it best to out it all out there.
If there is anything I've not covered please ask.

Looking forward to being a part of the community and looking for ward to hearing from you all.

Thank you.

as an endurance athlete you need to keep training. there is not much more that anyone can tell you on here. seems like you expect someone to tell you a magic pill that is gonna make you win your races, it doesn't happen.

Thank you,

In a nut shell I want to know if there is anything stronger than creatine that will improve my abilty to train harder for longer. thus achieving my goals faster.
