I'm considering my options, next cycle or maybe going TRT
I'm getting on a bit - 44
BF is around 16 to 18 but I can drop it down without a problem, I'm ectomorph with a fast met
I eat around 4000 to 4500cals a day without an issue. healthy balanced diet
195
92 kg
Train 4 times a week - cardio (fight club training), push, pull, legs.
Have a few basic cycles under the belt - Test only, Dbol/test, Drol/test.
Why am I thinking this? to be honest I'm struggling here. My diet is good, I probably don't sleep as much as I should but its not like I'm living on 4 hrs a night.
Work is tough but not extreme. I don't have a particularly hard life.
But still, I'm dying on my feet here. Tired all the time, no energy, training twice as hard and getting half as much as I used to. I's been a year since my last cycle and my after cycle bloods didn't show anything to be worried about. Am I quite simply over the hill or is something wrong?
As usual the GP has come up with nothing - Fatigue he says - you are getting older, take some vitamins and some time off.... pfffft - useless!
I want to do something, get my game on again, feel like the man I used to be.
I want to seriously consider my options, TRT is a life time decision, not to be taken lightly.
Maybe I can adjust something naturally and get myself back on track?
I want to start by paying extra attention to bloods this time and getting the right ones.
The lab I use can offer the the following for around £140 or $200
Its In Swedish (as I live in Sweden) but I put some translations in brackets, but I'm sure the guys who know the score will recognize the abbreviations anyway
My question is, are these all the tests I need or is there something else not in the list needed to make a proper judgment for what to do next?
Thanks for any advice
