True dat! Also with alot of other things. The crash is terrible. My supplements are diet based.
500 is a normal number for a male in their early 30s
i know.... i havent seen 200 in 15 years...
i think its like 500-800 is a "normal, natural" level... so even with the 90 a week, im stuck around 178 right now
but they we are looking at other alternative things as well then to just pump up the TRT
Solid question, definitely support you decision to use carbs as a primary energy source as an athlete. That being said your body will still be metabolizing fats for energy as well.
The longer the event your are competing in, the more important it becomes. You can only store so much glycogen from carbs in your muscle/liver so having easy to digest fats in your system is an advantage. I don't want to over sell it, but for some of the guys I work with racing west coast off road (WORCS/NGPC/NHHA) it has made a noticeable difference. I would not put it on the same tier of importance to supplement when compared to Protein and Electrolytes however.
Hope that's useful.

Glad someone else is talking about the body leveraging other nutrients besides Carbs. For longer events, the body will start to break down muscles to get at some protein (amino acids) if they're not in the system. To help negate against that, eat 5-10g of protein for every hour your on the bike or racing.
Arma (Pre-Workout | Whey Protein | Ammunition for your body (armasport.com)) makes good supplements. All of their stuff is organic and free of artificial colors/flavors. My son uses it for his BMX training, which is Olympic-level. Scott has been helpful answering any questions we have had, as well.
We also use Dr Mercola (Dr. Mercola Protein & Fitness Products at Mercola Market) and First Phorm (1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition) for some of the things that Arma doesn't provide.
Depends on a lot of things. If you’re older and on trt, yes you need to stay on it, because your body isn’t producing enough testosterone in the first place
if you’re doing it to repair, or grow muscle faster, you can go off it and your body will go back to its normal levels off production in 3 weeks- 3 months.
The pituitary gland doesn’t stop producing testosterone just because you’re using testosterone, it slows down. Once it realizes the testosterone is out of the system, it will start producing again
The pituitary gland doesn’t even produce any testosterone, so there’s that…..
Cardarine and mk677 work well to enhance endurance. Eat lots of spinach broccoli good fats and protein. Ppls t levels have been dropping each generation. Trt is a good option for those 40 and over if u feel those symptoms. If u stop u will need clomid and hcg to get your testicles back functioning properly.
This right here and that's all you need, unless blood work has been done and your body needs something else !!
But it tell the body to make more or less of it.
TRT is like antidepressants. Yes they are appropriate for a few very rare cases. But most people that want them eat poorly, dont get enough sleep, abuse alcohol or drugs, don't exercise enough and have toxic relationships. They want an easy way out instead of living a healthy lifestyle.
Fix everything else for a year then, if there's still a very clear problem, consider TRT.
Otherwise, protein and vitamin D are plenty. Maybe Creatine if you want to look more ripped but it'll probably make your arm pump worse.
