Natural Cycle?

First off, I would just like to say this site kicks ass! There is a shizitload of information on here.

I stumbled across this site while doing some research on supplements.

So here goes my first post.

I’m 37 5'09" 185 LBS - between 11 & 14% bf.
After taking a 1-year hiatus form the gym (For two herniated discs) I am now attempting a comeback.

Any of you who have taken off a long period share my pain of how weak you become.

Anyway, today marked the beginning of my 3rd week back in the gym. So far, I've lost 5 pounds and seem more vascular, but I'm very frustrated & impatient when it comes to getting my strength back.

My question is actually a three part, the first being:

1. Should I shred down to build on a solid foundation, or should I just watch my diet, do the cardio & keep on lifting.

2. Are there any proven “Natural” supplements that will help me get there quicker? If so, what should I take? (I do not have access to any gear; I’m talking about over the counter supplements.)

3. Should I wait until I can no longer make further gains naturally before taking anything?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

NC

M.C. has supps that are very well liked. Maybe you should try some.

I appreciate your comment, but it's a little vague.

How about some examples/ ways to stack?

Thanks.

OK,,If I was you this is what I'd get.

M1T,,should come in 10mg Caps, Very good OTC stuff. It WORKS!
A good Thermo, Caps. Say Ripped fuel,,or,,Xenadrine,,something
like that.
And keep your diet clean.

You should see good result's on these Items.

Please Keep us posted.

I would like to know exactly what you're trying to accomplish (leaner, bulkier, ???) before I advise you on any sups and stuff like that.

The only think I can tell is you want your strength back. And all I can say is it will come. 3 weeks is nothing when you think about it. Your muscle has memory and it will regain form. Patience, friend!

Overall, I want my strength back first. So If I'm eating clean & doing cardio, what would be my best bet for OTC's to take?

HHH, I will look into your recommendation. What will the M1T do for me, is it a test booster? How long do I take it?

Thanks to all who contributed.


BTW, this pic was about 5 years ago. I was @ around 7% bf then. I still look the same, only now with 11 - 14% bf....lol
