So in the past few years I haven't been feeling myself. Don't have the energy and especially the explosiveness I used to. A little background...
I'm 30 years old (training over 13 years naturally) and started out competing in bbing. I am natural and have never done a "cycle." I did pretty well taking first in many shows as well as an overall. I eventually moved on to powerlifting where I was also fairly successful managing to break most state records as well as an American record. I have always taken pride being natural and although tempting, never pulled the trigger on AAS.
The past couple years I haven't felt the same in regards to energy and especially explosiveness in the gym. I've taken time off and even tho I can still move some respectable weight, I feel "weak" when doing so as opposed to before where I felt very explosive. I've also accumulated a lot of physical pain which I've heard is a symptom (fibromyalgia) which can be caused by stressed adrenals/low test. I recently got blood work done and the results are below. I'll post what I feel is relevant....
SHBG - 30nmon/l
Total Test - 455ng/dl
Free Test - 9.86ng/dl
Albumin - 4.4g/dl
DHEA - 255ug/dl
T3 - pg/ml
T4 - 1.06ng/dl
Looking for input on what some of the experienced people on here think.
