Would you guys recommend a testosterone booster? There's one on bb.com called alphaJym. Believe me, i already do everything to increase testosterone. Heavy lifting, dieting, steaks, eggs, sex, haven't fapped in months. Haven't taken ZMA in a while but i used to. Any experience in my situation?

If "testosterone boosters" worked, everyone would be taking them. They haven't been proven (independently) to significantly increase test levels.
Is the issue that you are not gaining the size that you want? If so, how long have you been lifting and what are your lifting, physique and macros stats?

raised my level from 770 to 820 after a few months. for him it wont do shit he needs serious therapy
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
There weren't any serious symptoms. Just laziness but I figured it was because I wasn't getting the best sleep. I asked my doc to check them out because I was just curious. There's no issue, I've been lifting for a few years, but I don't count macros. I just eye ball my portions and eat healthy foods.

Buy steroids. Inject them. Go to gym. Leave humanity behind.

not often to be honest. I do my best but it ends up being 7 hours. I've recently got a blue light filter app and plan on taking ZMA again which used to knock me out when I took them. I also meditate as often as I can before bed.

Thank you, I will prioritize this.

Manage your stress. What fun things do you do? How often do you have a blast?
Get at least 8h of sleep if you can, and try to go to bed early to regulate your sleep cycles.
If anything, post a physique pic. You say you lift too right? Whats your height and weight, and how much you bench squat and deadlift??
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
I'm 6'3 186 lbs. My bench max is probably like 200 lbs. and my deadlift is like 245 lbs
LordThunderbolt 9y ago
You're severely underweight for your height, and you're not lifting heavy at all. I dont think you really know what you're doing as far as gym and diet.
What's your routine like? What program are you on?
Walk me through a day of eating for you. Whats your breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, snack etc
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
severely underweight? What's a good weight? I don't max out often. I workout alone, so I don't have a spotter. I also focus on bodybuilding not powerlifting, so I don't try to max out often, I focus more on muscle size vs strength. With that said, here is my routine: I'm currently doing 'Shortcut to Size' from bb.com On rest days, I do HIIT cardio My diet: 5:30am Pre-workout supp, protein shake with banana 7:45am post-workout supp, small gatorade, protein shake 8:10am oatmeal with blueberries 10:00am apple with peanut butter 12pm steak, spinach, brown rice, half avocado 2:00pm Chobani greek yogurt 4:00pm granola / protein bar 5:15pm 3 large whole eggs with large whole wheat tortilla 6:00pm sweet potatoes, broccoli, chicken breast
That's my usual diet. I barely added the half avocado and whole wheat tortilla last week to increase calories and so far I'm up 1 lbs. Lunch and dinner are usually the same, spinach / broccoli / kale + brown rice / sweet potatoes / whole wheat pasta + steak / chicken breast / salmon / turkey beef.
LordThunderbolt 9y ago
See that my problem with u small dudes. You think you're gonna turn intl Zyzz or Arnold as natties by doing pump up sets back to back and eating chicken breast. You wanna look cute so your boyfriend can grab your tiny hips or you want to gain and be a fucking beast? Right now you're eating like a ballarina.
Drop the cardio. At your height, you should be at least 205lbs at all times. Quit trying to look cute and build some beastly strength first. Get on a good strength program like Reg Park 5x5 or Starting Strength. Run that program for at least a year and half to gain strength. Then after youve reached respectable lifts in the big three, you can focus on pumping up your muscles. If you're stronger overall, you can do bodybuilding sets with more weight, which means more gains. Isolation work will get you nowhere, you're not stimulating your body enough. You think you lift? You don't buddy. And thats why you're underweight, weak, and have low T.
Shock your system with some wild compound full body workouts and eat like a fuckig savage. Lots of meat, eggs, milk, sweet potatoes and brown rice, veggies, and good fats... All within some reasonable bulking macros.
Your breakfast should be like 4-6 eggs every morning with oats and a cup of milk plus a banana. You gotta eat big, lift big, to get big.
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
Alright man thank you I appreciate it
LordThunderbolt 9y ago
Its up to you to put it to practice. So thank yourself a year or two from now for having listened (IF u do listen).
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
I will train heavier, harder, and eat bigger.
homelessWOOKIE9 9y ago
have you actually gotten your testosterone levels read? privatemdlabs.com
i bet they're totally fine and this is all in your head
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
No I haven't, I'll have to check it out thank you
whataboutudummy 9y ago
That's ultra low. Try using clomiphene aka clomid. If it's going to work, 25 mg every day or three for two weeks should get you there. Repeat if and when levels fall again. Test boosters can't help someone that low. And definitely see an endo. Don't go on trt until you at least try clomid. Think about any environmental hormone disruptor you may be getting unusual levels of.
lurkingtacopiller 9y ago
Bro get to a (male) endo or urologist and talk to them about TRT. If you're doing all that shit as you say you are there's no way your T should be that low. In your prime T years and a healthy lifestyle you should be pushing 8 or 900 ng/dl.
whataboutudummy 9y ago
Also, don't you have some extreme symptoms from this level???
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
No. Just laziness towards the end of the day. I did drink a lot of alcohol the night before I got blood taken, so maybe the #'s were off? I don't know.
davos224 9y ago
You probably have too much prolactin causing testosterone deficiency.
The__Tren__Train 9y ago
Go to urologist (not endocrinologist)
He will give you a script for testosterone injections.
Get aromatase inhibitor and use it.
Do NOT use Clomid.
You can get everything you need online, if you don't want to go through a physician.
LBEB80 9y ago
Isn't clomid used only when ending a test cycle?
The__Tren__Train 9y ago
Honestly... There shouldn't be an "end" to a test cycle...
Steroids were not meant to be started and stopped... They are a lifetime commitment. Guys like to think they can just put the tip in, then pull out and be fine.
It doesn't work that way. Either do hem forever or don't do them at all.
Clomid is an awful drug... The only time when I was emotionally unstable was when I was on Clomid.
LBEB80 9y ago
Gotcha. Just started reading the sidebar on r/steroids and that was part of their cycles.
