Got Sick, Lost 75 Pounds, Help Me Get It All Back!

[tdog334]

What up guys, want to start off by saying I'm about 155 6'3 right now, almost 23 yrs old. About 1yr 1/2 ago I got super sick, and almost died. I couldn't get rid of this infection for about a year. I was in my bed and couldn't leave the house for a whole year. It really sucked but I'm doing a lot better now and have been starting to lift again.

I was at 6'3 200 10% bf before, i got down to around 125 at my lowest. I'm trying to get it all back, but my recovery really sucks. Before all this I could work out so hard every day, and now a 45minute 3 day split once a week is pushing it.

Anyone have any advice? I've never done any gear but it's really tempting to try 250 test-e for 3 months and see if it helps. My test levels are normal last time they were checked(around 750-800 i think?)

Any advice would be great, It sucks to lose all your progress but I'm not giving up. Thanks homies

Glad to see youre back on your feet, but you dont need any drugs. You just need to get better and begin eating properly again. Other than that, youre fine.

Dude with that 6'3 frame you can get big as shit in no time without drugs, just as northern said. Just eat like a horse and train smart and hard. Also, don't be one of those pussies that are terrified of putting on a little fat in the process.

Your test levels are very good for lifting natural. Just as the other have said, eat properly and lift adequately and you will stack on mass in no time. I would add in protein shakes and post-workout recovery meals/shakes.

its hard to say because everyone is different. I was taking different compounds at the same time so im not sure what it was from but from everything i read it makes you feel like a bottomless pit. You can keep eating and even though your full you want to eat more.

First time i ran eq i wondered the same thing until week 6 or 7. Then i could eat all day long and never felt full. I ate like a horse (pun intended)

 

[Hillbilly111]

Op stay away from aas for the time being. You have a great natural test level. You just defeated a serious illness thank god and now you should eat and train hard to get back to your normal weight naturally. You should be able to get back to your natural weight fairly easy if you eat and train hard. Good luck!

If you were in bed for a year with an infection, your organs have been seriously stressed, particularly your liver. It needs time to recover, and 6 months isn't that long. Your low stamina probably has a lot to do with that, and gear can be very hard on your liver. You could make things worse, delay your recovery longer.

Your 23 and your test levels are fine you don't need any aas period. You have a good frame to put on size eat workout and eat some more! You don't need any eq to get an appetite just stay natty and work your ass off . You have the rest of your life to run gear you might never even need it but you should definitely wait til 30 berfore you even consider it.
