Steroids are hurting my energy

[Mobster]

I'll start at the top. IF you have LOW test levels then TRT type doses will give a sense of well being. In many cases low test levels can make you feel like you lack energy. However, an excess of test can have the reverse effect. Yet another reason for moderate doses.

It's also well worthwhile stating the obvious - if you use test to up your game then the additional work you'll be able to do is also wearing. It's why we talk about recovery as a part of the training pyramid. Again AAS will speed that recovery up but as to producing an additional sense of more energy? No

That's a lot of Test man, no need for that much.

Everyone has a preconceived notion of what they think or expect gear to be like, most are disappointed, from either bad diet or high expectations with it to fill some sort of gap in their training. Steroids are nothing but "tools", they are not the solution or go-to option, they are just an added bonus when used CORRECTLY..

Keep in mind some compounds can in fact be the culprit for depression, tiredness, lethargy and loss of sense of well being.

Androgens can be extremely aggressive for sensitive users resulting in a decrease peak of plasma corticosterone concentrations by way of potentially disabling HSD-11B or 11B-HSD which are hosts of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of cortisone to active cortisol.. Almost inducing a state of adrenal fatigue by other methods of action, basically inducing adrenal fatigue like symptoms.. You can experience this while using Test only and for others - Trenbolone, drol and some pro-hormones (MT1/SD), there can be a slew of rather aggressive sides not only from it's toxicity to the liver but through this other indirect course of action yielding a slew of undesired sides in "some" users...

Diet and the correct supplements can improve this, people underestimate some supplements like CoQ-10, Bergamot, NAC, Kidney cleans/support, liver support, 5-HTP.. Even the addition with DHEA vitamin C can off set cortisol dumps, actually I high suggest people toss some DHEA in when feeling these symptoms, along with removing caffeine - extracting it from your daily life for a bit until people start to feel better.. This includes PWO's..

For more seasoned users, they could add some low to a moderate doses of GHRP-6 and/or Hexarelin, these peptide both act in a similar mechanisms and have been known to increase the release of ACTH which can improve the serum plasma levels with cortisol, restoring it to a health functional state, off-setting any andro related adrenal fatigue like symptoms.. This is why Mast or proviron at low doses has helped many, but you won't need any of that, just lower your dose and get the right nutrients and sups along with blood.


If you ask "Why, proviron or Masteron with Testosterone?"

The paradox with these 3 hormones mentioned (test,mast and proviron) they are essentially the most favored when it concerns that "feel good effect" that we look for when running compounds.

Let's look at your supra-physiological dosages of Testosterone (which has 3 mechanisms of action,1-testosterone, 2-conversion to estro, 3-conversion to DHT) and your other compounds like mast/proviron..Basically, your reaction with these compounds/hormones by way of exogenous sources along with their aggressiveness as a potent hormone (DHT) and interplay's with E2 (by was of test conversion) all these can significantly decrease the corticosterone and ACTH response through its pathways, by initiating a response via the hypothalamus..

I can show you studies where DHT's "Dihydrotestosterone" and it's derivative can potentially display some cross-reactivity that will disrupted corticolsteroids which may possess blocking properties of cortisol and could possibly act somewhat as a cortisol "blocker" in sensitive users.. End result, adrenal fatigue like symptoms gone!

You might get a mental boost since you know you are on gear and lifting heavier but you won't get an actual energy boost.

Post the bloodwork up when you get the results and we will know better what may be going on.

I was under the impression that steroids with boost my energy but instead I'm noticing my energy is dropping
today I am feeling good but yesterday I felt exhausted like I had no energy
I'm currently doing 600 mg total of testosterone for a week and I'm using aromasin and clomid is on hand. I'm going to get blood work done soon but what should I be looking for in the blood work

Brother please listen to our podcast where we discuss this and many other topics of interest to a bodybuilder taking steroids.

I'm going to go with low estrogen.
That absolutely kills energy.
High estrogen takes a while to really get high and you'll find your head is foggy prob before anything else.
But it all depends.
