other than TRT, have you ever used steroids before? What is your history? Forget microdosing. If using Test E or Test C, 3 times a week week keep levels fairly steady.
No, I have never used steroids before. I am not sure of the difference between "E" and "C." I have a lot of learning to do. In so far as 3 times a week, are we talking 200 mg (or more) 3 times a week, or just dividing up the dosage? By my history, could you be more specific? I can say I am 5'11", I weigh 195-200 lbs, I am not ripped, nor am I fat either. I have been weight training off and on since the age of 15, when the only supplements you could get were soy protein (nasty shit). I use creatine/BCAA's and multi vitamins. I do supplement my diet with protein drinks, usually whey, however at night I will use casein protein. I also use protein bars (Quest and MetRX are my favorites). As I said, my main goal is gain muscle mass and drop a few pounds of fat, without sacrificing said mass.
I workout on a 6 day a week, split program, hitting each muscle group twice a week. Except calves and abs; they get done 4 days a week. I do workout quite intensely, using triple drops, forced reps, etc. I know, apparently these things are "old fashioned." Yet it works for me. I am retired, so I have lots of time to devout to my training. I also do water aerobics at night (I workout in the morning). I have some prior injuries/surgeries which preclude me from heavy aerobics. So in the water works well for me.
Again, thank you for your replies. My biggest questions would be: What type of steroids and how much and how often? Injectable or oral? However, I realize I will need to do a lot more research also.
