    Thought I'd post a quick update: Baron inspired me to get back in the gym alittle over a year ago. In that time, I went from a slovenly 220 lbs with a 42 inch waist, to ~230 with a 36 inch waist. Squat 365. DL 450. Incline dumbbell 85's. My body looks totally different. Started clomid about a month ago, for low testosterone. Haven't noticed much improvement in strength or bedroom heroics. Thinking about adding an AI, as I think estradoil may be too high and crushing libido.

    Overall, I feel and look much better. Chicks really dig muscles. No doubt about it. I incorporated 2 tablespoons of fish oil a day, and one healthy salad (kale, carrots, red peppers, broccoli, cauliflower), and it's taken 8 years off my face. Really improves complexion. With all that, girls as young as 18-19 will stare and flirt with me now. Pretty good for a guy who's turning 36 in a month. Now, all I have to do is get my testosterone and libido squared away and I might end up having a very fun life :p

    That's awesome to hear achilles28! The problem with things like clomid and HCG is that they stimulate the Testicles to produce Testosterone but that Test is EASILY converted to estrogen, especially in older males which have an abundance of Aromatase in their systems. I can't remember if you posted your age before, but an AI is something that becomes more and more valuable once you're over 40 years old. The overall effect of an AI will be an increase in Testosterone while lowering estrogen levels at the same time. But you have to take baby steps with an AI, making sure that you don't decimate your estrogen levels by doing too much of the AI. Various AI's and other ancillaries can be found at http://www.ar-r.com

    Good luck!

    Thanks Baron. Much appreciated :) What would you recommend for an AI? I've read on steroid forums that too low - or too high - estradiol, can ruin libido and performance. Broscience, yes. But sometimes the guinea pigs know more than medical practitioners. What do you think about a stand-alone AI? Helpful? btw im 35:)

    Exemestane is the preferred choice as a standalone AI.

    You should consider getting your hormone levels checked so you can at least have a baseline before trying an AI or experimenting with anything else of that nature. You may be surprised at what you find out.

    to gain mooore muscles you guys need to eat MORE piglets.. especially those ones which were smashed against the wall !
