Just a quick question, has anyone got back to their weight traning level before propecia? as in muscle definaition, fat levels, muscle hardness etc.
I used to be fantastic shape before, but my muscles dont feel as hard as before…cnt seem to gain muscle/weight. Have a raised lower belly…(FAT). I am 57kg.
Cd nuts/big softie, ur input would be good to hear. thanks

I’m back to being in pretty good shape. Actually, I’m stronger then I’ve ever been. For me, diet is cornerstone to training. Especially now being post-fin, I can’t get away with what I used to. Because of the higher estrogen count, belly fat can be a bit more stubborn then usual.
Try supplementing with creatine for muscle hardness and go on a T boosting regimine with natural herbs. (properly cycled of course) Clean up your diet (Paleo) and when you train, train with heavy compound movements. I’ve also switched the way I train. Now, I do alternating lower and upper body work outs where as before I would only do lower body once a week if that. Doing legs more often has had a profound impact on my overall condition. Squats or deadlift depending on how you’re built. These are your biggest muscles and when worked will add muscle weight to your whole frame while giving you a favorable hormonal shot.
Also, you need to add in interval training such as sprints two or three days a week. I do these on my non-weight training days and they consist of 6-8, 10-15second bursts with a minute or two in between sets to catch my breath.
I also had to change the regimine. Muscles are softer and I’m 10 pounds ligher than pre-fin, can’t get these back. Also have constant cramps, shoulders tight in the ears, they never relax.
That said, working out is one of the only things that makes me feel good.
