Aloha brutha's,
We all know that using AAS can and will compromise our health. Standard rule of thumb is to come off cycle, moderate doses, eat healthy on and off cycle. Of course blood work to monitor the liver, kidneys, cholesterol, and blood.
I am interested in what you do to off set the negative effects of AAS for the recreational lifter, and for the pro's here at PM. Your age, years training, years of doing cycles, health issues and injuries.
I'll start: Personally, I was diagnosed with Hep C in 1997. I realized I had to be 'holistic' in my approach of using AAS in order to off set exacerbating damage to my liver.
Age:58
Years Lifting:40
First Cycle:32 years old. 3 more cycles in 2 years.
Next Cycle:48. Many cycles + hgh the last 12 years + hrt
Shows:10
Injuries: 2 Hip replacements -lt hip, ruptured disc L-5/S1, stenosis, spondylolithesis.
Nutrition:
In our sport we tend to have a very acidic diet. I maintain an Alkaline diet year round now. Organic and wild meats, fish,eggs, fresh raw juicing, veggies, and some fruit. I have an alkaline water machine. Flax seed oil, walnut oil, coconut oil, fish oil, avocados, walnuts.
Herbs and Vitamins
I take formulas for my liver, kidney's heart, blood, nervous system, cholesterol, glandular's from New Zealand. Some Chinese formulas.
Adjunctive Therapies:
Massage
Acupuncture
Chi Kung
Tai Chi Chuan
Meditation
Stretching
Pool Work in Deep Water
Sleep and Naps
Connect with the Outdoors.
Breathing Exercises
Look forward to hearing how you take care of your self.
