Did you run Clomid by itself or with nolvadex or something else? There are other things that could also be affecting it aside from estrogen like prolactin. Not saying it isn't estrogen, but it could possibly be another component in the big picture.
Just found this thread. I used to be a competitive rower. I hurt my back in my early 20s. It got so bad that I could barely get in or out of a car in under 2 minutes. All the doctors I saw said spinal fusion or pain killers neither of which I was interested in. My weight had slowly crept from 195 to 245 about a 15 months ago.
I was struggling to keep up with my (then 2 years old) daughter. I decided to fuck what all the doctors were saying and get back in the gym. I decided to swim and do starting strength in the beginning. I had to swim for about 1/2 hour and then hot tub before I could lift or my back would seize up during warm ups.
My first day lifting I couldn't believe how weak I had become. I squatted 85 lbs, couldn't even get below parallel and I was sore for 5 days. Fast forward to today. I now back squat 300 lbs. I joined an weightlifting club a few months ago. My max clean and jerk is 95 kilos and my snatch is 75. Obviously not huge numbers but not bad for a guy who was about as broken as it gets. More importantly my back doesn't bother me at all, I squat ass to heels and I can easily keep up with my 3-year old.
What a great story and a very nice snatch. lol, sorry.
My goal is to snatch 100 kgs which would be right around body weight but progress has slowed.Ok, I've been up past my bedtime lol, researching some of these I've never heard of before. Even the national level competitors I know, are lost when it comes to the above as am I. I'm curious if you have time:
(The gh, IGF, ala, acetly l-carnitine, and dhea, I'm familiar with, but the others, no.)
- What was your protocol into working up to these doses?
- What sides should be expected on the way up to these doses?
- You always pick purity above the other junk. What brands besides the CoQ10 do you like?
Damn! This thread could trump threads on bodybuilding boards. Lol!
