Complete cycle history (compounds, doses, lengths of time, when they were run) - Damn, they were so long ago I don't remember, prohormones when they were the rage, Basic test cycle x 1, Both these cycles in my late 20's early 30's. Sarms cycle 6 years ago.
PCT for each cycle: To far back to remember
Goals: Trying to figure that out! At a crossroads trying to determine a path.
Supplements (if any): Multi vitamin, creatine, joint complex, fish oil, glutamine, acetyl l-carnitine
General idea of nutrition (any food allergies???) No food allergies, Diet is the key to success. I find it the most challenging aspect of working out.
Any other relevant info (injuries, surgeries you've had, etc.) THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT ME BACK TO WORKOUT FORUMS!!!! As i got older the heavy squatting and deadlifts caused serious back issues. Herniated disks at L4-5 and L5-S1. Backed down from working out and have not had a flair up with my back in years. Got into running races with my wife over the years and got addicted to trail running races. Lost alot of muscle during the last few years running. In June I started to suffer from IT band issues. FRUSTRATING INJURY! It doesn't hurt when i workout or even when I start to run. Once I get a mile in the IT band pain starts to worsen.
Went to my Sports Medicine Surgeon and had 2 injections in the IT band. Gave me heavy anti-inflammatory to help me get through a race. Neither the anti-inflammatory or the injections worked. Went to PT for 4-5 weeks and was rotated through various PT doctors in the practice because none of the therapies seem to work. By the way...dry needling sucks. Went to see a PT doctor who specializes in running and I am currently working through his program. I am 3-4 weeks in and their has been minimal improvement. Contemplating shutting the running down for 2-3 months and moving into focusing on a lean muscle building program.
Here to find my direction!
