I have the same problem. Humanofort will have you sleeping better in about 4 days,its good for libido,immune system and a host of good stuff. Bad thing is they are out for a couple of weeks. Taking 6 a day [witch is what you would need] at $28 a bottle gets pricey, but for people like us it's well worth it. To answer your question. I am waiting for my shipment of humanofort and will start lifting in about 3 months, adrenals should be pretty strong by then. Stay away from caffeine and other stimulants. L tyrosine at 3 grams on empty stomach in morning works good for me. I take licorice root also but it can cause loss of potassium.
