31 yr old paraplegic needing help with upper body

New member
i am new to the sight and would like to introduce myself. i was in a car accident 15 months ago and ended up with a t8 spinal cord injury that landed me in a wheel chair with nothing from the bottom of my ribs down. as in i have no feeling or movement. when they tested my testosterone levels at rehab they were 298. average for my age is around 700-800. so i instantly was put on a gel everyday. i hated it to be honest. when i got out of rehab they started me on a horomone replacement program for the rest of my life and got my levels back to around 800.
my diet is on key as it has to be for certain other reasons, i do physical therapy three times a week for strength training and to work on my trunk muscles. i also started raising my protien levels with food and using free weights at home as i am yet to be able to get back in my chair if i fall on the floor. which i do allot cuz i push my limits to see what i can and cant do. how else to learn right.
what i am getting at is i want to run test prop with the 250mgs every two weeks the drs are giving me. but i want to run it every other day for acouple or few months depending to get my upper body where it needs to be to be able to get off the floor and help in other aspects of my life.
i am here for advice and hope to lead me in the right direction asap.

thanks, farney
 
Farney, I COMMEND you, and respect what you're doing! You never gave up, and that's tremendous! As far as the test dose, you can use prop eod, but make sure you read some of the stickies here about aromatization, and blood pressure. I recommend Aromasin, but others may like letro, Arimidex, etc., Testosterone is king of the road when it comes to building muscle, so you're on the right track, no question. Again, the stickies at the top of the page are loaded with valuable tips. Last, keep us posted on your gains. Good to have you here!
 
Hey bro..just wanna say welcome to the site man. From day 1, after your life changing event, you were either living or dying. It appears, you chose to live! My uncle at the young age of 23 was in a motorcycle wreck and left paralyzed from just about the waste down. He immediately went into a funk. He was a real go getter, hard charging, life of the party, ladies-man. When he lost his legs, he lost all of that as well. My uncle passed at 44 in 2009. He had a ton of medical problems that arised from given up and having no control of his health. Diabetes, pressure sores, overweight, lack of cleaniness..etc. When he passed, eventually it was a blood clot from his legs that managed its way through his lungs. Had he not been so overweight and a bit cleaner (massive infections from pressure sores on ass to legs that were burn victims of the oven door while cooking), he may still be here. My point is, you play a huge role in deciding your fate. Some things are out of our control, but a lot of things aren't. Bro, there are some vets on here that are extremely knowledgeable and will chime in with the questions you raise here. Give them a few days to find this thread. Only reason I'm not giving you any advice is because there are those who are better qualified than I am to do so. Everyone is here to help you in any way they can. Hope to see you stick around and log your progress. It would be great to have someone here to represent the challenges that you and others face as a result of your unique situation. Again, great to have you here. Look forward to monitoring your progress brother!!!
 
Sorry bout your accident. When did you get out of rehab? I'm guessing not long ago.and they are giving you 250 every 2 weeks? What kind of exercises are you doing now?
 
Huge respect for you, youve got some serious balls to take life on like that after an accident. You are an inspiration brotha!
 
Massive respect bro! You seem like a very strong minded dude, im sure you'll get to your goals soon. Plenty of knowledge and good guys on this forum who can help you out all the way.

Since noone else has mentioned it yet - has your TRT protocol been fully dialed in yet? You should make sure your doctor isn't gonna request any more bloodwork whilst your on cycle. If he finds out/becomes suspicious you could have your prescription yanked.
 
I appreciate all the responses. I do have a stage two pressure sore on my left butt check. But I am living my life as there is no such thing as a bad day. I ain't going anywhere as far as the forum goes. I am just pushing to get strong enough to live my life the best. I can. The problem now is finding my test prop. I am going to run it then just drop down to the 250mgs of testosterone I get from my uro!ogist. I have the medicine balls, free weights, and therabands to get where I need to be. My diet is on point, I see a dietician monthly. There's just that one small thing holding me up to get where I need to be. It would even help transferring in and our of vehicles... Everything! I know I am new, but I know there are people on here that can imagine what I am going through and hopefully want to help. Please

These are exactly the things you have to stay on top off bro. The little things you do..like when sliding the transfer to your chair or in the shower, remember your ass in not made of wood. Thats skin your sliding on. Your feet are going to swell all the time. You have to start getting shoes that give a little room for that. Forget about whats flashy bro. In terms of on ur butt, my uncle after so many years of fighting them..finally got a hospital bed with an air mattress. It helped, but after yrs of bullshit. Those pressure sores on his ass cheek actually tunneled all the way down to bone bro. You have to stay off it as much as possible and get it to heal. He had mulitple skin grafts and nothing helped til he got that air bed and visiting nurses.

The problem now is finding my test prop.There's just that one small thing holding me up to get where I need to be.

This problem here is the same problem we all have or had. Trust me, stick around and read all the threads and posts you can. Take notes and you'll start to figure shit out on your own. You don't need it that fast that you should by pass all the normal channels we went thru or are going thru to find places to get what you need. Other forums are more open about where their members do business. We are not. The answers you seek are closer than you think. Hope to see you around and making contributions where you can. You don't have to be a steroid expert to contribute here. All kinds of things come up that brothers need help with. If you find a topic that suites your expertise, we hope you'll chime in!!!

Good luck brother. And take that pressure sore more serious than getting test prop. Pressure sores lead to infections. Infections kill! Ask the man of steel! With all his money, he still couldn't save himself.
 
I have my pressure sore under control. I have a four inch overlay mattress and I also have RN's
Coming in to my house seven days a week to monitor and clean/change guaze pads.
I appreciate all your concerns. I feel I am just at that point. In 15 months I pushed so hard I live by myself, and just have an aide to come in and clean what I am not able to.
I am still curious why I can't send PM's..? I know what I am looking for is domestic if I wait and research long enough. I am new, my life has changed 110% since October 5th 2012. I believe in karma, hoping someone would feel my motivation and drive in life at the moment and send me in the right direction.

But I will take your advice and wait. Thanks for your comments.
I think this is elligal to post on open forums. But eurochem..? I would just prefer domestic. I know you guys are out there. I used to deal with a few different ones like five years ago. Life is different now, I am here for help/and to give help. I am here because this is where I am at in my life. So its hard for me to take it slow.

Are you employed?? If not, life will feel like its crawling. You probably feel that right now. Its a motherfucker for you to get dressed everyday bro. I get it. I'm telling you though, if you're motivated enough to use test prop and hit some weights, fuck disability income bro. Your motivated enough to get a J-O-B and put your time to real good use. It will help with those long days man. Working out is just gravy bro. You gotta have some meat and potatoes to go with it.

EuroChem is not a source. It's a lab. I've never used them and as far as I know, they're not sponsors of this site. I can tell you I've read mostly good reviews. I'm under the assumption they were busted years ago. After the bust, someone else decided to start a UGL and most likely named EuroChem..in order to piggy back off their good reputation. Sometimes in these cases you still actually get good gear and never know that it's imitation. EuroChem has and is becoming increasingly more popular and as such has become increasingly more faked. I believe their site allows you to check your source (if you have one) to see if they are legit distributors.

Again, as I mention before..this is all shit I wouldn't have know until I started taking eveyones advice and reading. Did my own research. Combed through threads and posts and stickies alike. I share this tid bit of info with to encourage not to give up. You made it this far, so hurry up and slow down. After all, (I'm assuming) you do have more time than most to do research!! Don't look for easy answers, look for the right one bro!!
 
I am so gfeatcul of your responses, and yds mg morning routine including stretching and all takes about 2 hrs. Since my injury is so recent u. Would say I do have time in my hands. I am starting to go back to college thus summer. I go for free and if I go get a normal job it will affect my disability income. So I want a degree first. But I will take your advice and start reading up on posts.
I am still wundering why I can t send pm'z..?
