I completely agree with you. Allow me to clarify, I don’t feel like shit nor do I live the standard sedentary lifestyle. I hit the gym 3-4x week and can still put out a good effort and have a decent work capacity. I don’t do any recreational drugs or consume alcohol, shit, I even limit caffeine to 3x per week. I get at least 30 minutes of sun a day (time of day varies) trying to keep as much skin exposed as reasonable. I eat fairly clean, though I do have dinners out 3-4x per month with my wife. Sleep isn’t great, but that’s due to a new baby. I even wear blue blocking glasses at night. Admittedly, my endogenous test levels aren’t bad 649 total, and 106.1free.

I just don’t feel or recover as well as I used to. I’m not looking to run multiple exotic compounds like tren etc. Nor am I planning on ever blasting grams of test in one week. I can and still do accomplish what I need to at my current state of health, but to reiterate, it doesn’t happen without extra effort and isn’t as enjoyable. But if and when I do make the leap back into anabolics, I’m looking to be as safe and with the minimum effective dose possible.

Thanks for the reply man. Apologies for my long winded response.

Haha those were THE days, man! 5 days a week was the norm for the gym with a 6th day if I was cutting. It’d be nice to get back that 5th day and not feel sore all weekend. Thanks for the reply!
