You don’t need to overtrain to hit the time goal I’ve set. A few peak 50 mile weeks in the buildup to the race should be sufficient for me to hit 3:30. Overtraining sets in when you start trying for a lower time and hit 70+ weeks. Having said that, since coming off, I have been using many OTC supplements to try and create the best possible environment to restore my natural test levels. Anecdotally, Boron, which is supposed to increase your free test levels seems to be somewhat effective at 10 mg a day (I don’t have BW to support that - I’m just going by feel). Also, taking D3/K2 and zinc chelate.
Sounds good. Yes the boron probably does increase free test, although the free test/shbg thing and its importance and all that is 'hotly' debated
It would be interesting if we could measure test levels as easily as glucose. Like did BigRo really have good levels fairly shortly after coming off roids since he says he has morning wood LOL? My friend has been evaluating his test through a clinic for 6 months after coming off 250mg of test a week to see whether he would recover or if he should get on HRT and he has been below the reference range yet said he's been feeling very good and feels strong in the gym. He is holding good size too. He showed me the graphs on his phone and at some point his test came up a bit and then dipped again. So how well can you 'feel' it you know?
Wonder how marathoners or other endurance athletes would use roids if there were no doping tests. They would probably just use HRT to maintain high normal so as not to hold any extra water or cause muscle tightness. Maybe some low dose Anavar tabs or something after very hard sessions intermittently.
