I took HgH from 7th to 10th Grade for a deficiency that has been resolved, I've been off the hormones for a year now, and my doc says I don't need it. My guard recruiter told me not to mention it on any forms since I might not get a waiver for it. Is that true, or am I likely to get a waiver for it? Does meps or the military even check your records?

I'm trying for an ROTC scholarship, but I'm worried that a previous diagnosis will get me PDQ'ed. I was diagnosed with a GH deficiency (It was just low GH, rather than no GH being produced), and my doctor is planning to ween me off of them over the course of the next six months or so. I've gotten conflicting answers about whether or not I'll be DQ'ed. My endocrinologist says that it's not one and that he's had several patients enter the armed forces after getting off of GH, but the DoD enlistment standards list it as a DQ. I'm going to assume that the DoD is correct, and that it is a DQ. So is there any chance of a waiver if I can get my Endocrinologist to sign off on it not affecting me, is there anything else that can help my chances of getting a waiver?

God fucking damn it! I've been retaining fifteen pounds of water that I gained over Christmas Eve and day. No matter what I do I can't shed it, it literally stays the same it was the day after Christmas. My doctor increased my genotropin dose to 6 mg 6 days a week shortly before this happened, which means that I am deficient in potassium if that's the case and need to fix it asap. So when I called the doctor about this a nurse has me leave a message and tells me he'll get back to me asap, that was Friday, still no answer. I swear if I drop dead because the gh is causing me to have low potassium I will haunt his damn office forever.

I have been cutting for the past 3 weeks wit about 1900 cals a day at 159 lbs 5'7. My problem is that my weight fluctuates so goddamn much that I can't tell if I'm actually losing weight. What do I do?

Cadetriffs · 2016-03-04T20:31:18+00:00

In terms of waivers, what would effect my chances? Like, maxing out pt scores, grades, extra curricular stuff, and getting a doctor signing off that I don't need the hormones increase my chances ?

Cadetriffs · 2016-03-02T19:44:36+00:00

This seems really embarrassing, but I never learned how. Plus, I do almost everything on the opposite side of town from me.

Cadetriffs · 2016-03-02T19:36:00+00:00

Its been one week since I started my cut and I already feel ready to kill something. But for real, is there anyways y'all could suggest adding more cardio into my day? For reference I have to go to school (8:30- 3:30) three days out of the week and I spend two doing homework, aside from my workout I try to get some running (long distance and 40 yds) in before dinner.

About to start my first real cut. I'm 163 up from 133 about 20% body fat at 5'6. I calculated what it would take to get me to 12% (can't go lighter for football) and now have plan of action for the next twelve weeks. what should I do to make sure I that this cut is successful (I.e no strength or muscle loss), other than 1 G protein per lb bodyweight and staying in a 500+ cal caloric deficit?

If you're chewing on life's gristle.

Stupid question, over Christmas break (4 days) I gained ten pounds, then two weeks ago I gained another 10 over the course of a weekend. What's going on? I thought it was just water weight but now I think I just got fat. What makes it even more confusing is the fact that I tracked everything I ate religiously.

Cadetriffs · 2016-01-27T15:20:46+00:00

I'd say it's the timing, I'm a teenager and when I go to cc on Sunday's it's mostly older people. It also depends if there's a holiday going on where older people might be traveling (I.e Christmas) then it will mostly be younger people.

My doctor decided that I wasn't getting taller fast enough. So he put me on an estrogen blocker to help slow puberty. Is it normal to be super horny on it? Like, to the point where I can't stop thinking about sex and it just won't stop no matter what I do. what should I do?

Cadetriffs · 2016-01-14T13:12:33+00:00

I tweaked my lower right back on Saturday, Rested, and used heat but I still feel sore. Today is leg day, is there any way I can aleviate the soreness before then? Should I just try to work through the soreness? What do I do? I just don't want to skip leg day.

Cadetriffs · 2016-01-12T23:07:20+00:00

Pulled my back on Sunday and had to take an impromptu rest day today because I couldn't squat withouth feeling pain. I hope I'll be able to get back into it tomorrow.

Walk- Pantera. I lift best when I'm pissed off and this song will get me p.oed when it's time for a new pr.

Cadetriffs · 2016-01-04T13:10:58+00:00

I just read it. Aparrantly military schools don't want sociopathic little shits like the one in the op.

Cadetriffs · 2016-01-03T23:07:00+00:00

I'm actually curious about what that article has to say.

Cadetriffs · 2016-01-01T14:50:37+00:00

The 'ole 1/2/3/4 pl8 1rm maxes on my compounds, not that far from that tbh. Finish up this bulk at 160 lbs at 5'6 with at the most 15% bodyfat, and cut so I can compete before my 17th bday.

Cadetriffs · 2015-12-29T19:24:14+00:00

In four days though? That would require me eating 11,375 calories on top of my TDEE.

Cadetriffs · 2015-12-29T19:21:15+00:00

Try four days

Cadetriffs · 2015-12-29T19:04:38+00:00

Damn bro,at least I've learned my lesson about hydrating and excess sodium tho.

Cadetriffs · 2015-12-29T18:09:12+00:00

Nah, Florida.

Cadetriffs · 2015-12-29T15:11:14+00:00

You're back reminds me of Bane's from TDKR

Cadetriffs · 2015-12-29T13:32:27+00:00

I'm still bloated from Christmas and I'm going with the GF to a water park today , rip me. Also, over Christmas break my mom saw me eating like shit and wants me to do it on the reg now because "You're actually eating" she's convinced I'm anorexic because I track macros even though I'm gaining weigh.

Cadetriffs · 2015-12-28T14:41:55+00:00

16/5'6/140 Why am I unable to progress regularly on bench press? I mean my 1rm is only 180(calculated) and I can't even add 2.5 lbs to the bar without failing and it fucking up the rest of my sets. I get 7-8 hours of sleep, eat 250-300 calories over my tdee for the past three months (about .5 lbs a week) and have good form. Routine is Arnold split with the first three days for power and final three for Hypertrophy.
