What makes you think you need test?
first off, what have you been doing in your training? following a particular program?
I snooped around on here and read some threads and it seems to describe what I am going through right now.
How about you get blood tests done first.
I'd like to explore my options of legal test to get me back up to peak levels.
Firstly, can anybody recommend a good GP in Melbourne?
I guess after then Ive got to work out a good stack yeah? I mean to keep estrogen down and stuff? Or will the doc help me with that?
I guess my point is Im NOT sure, so I want to go to the doctor, and thus why I asked for a good doc in Melb, rather than just go black market. I want a blood test etc.
Like Ive said...
Any GP can provide a blood test. Why do you need a recommendation?
So what your saying is you have self diagnosed yourself with low test and you want us to give you the name of a GP who is very loose with his test prescriptions.
It's highly unlikely you need or want test. Those symptoms could be a million different things.
He is a few questions which might help find a problem.
what training program are you doing?
What are your max lifts.
Height and weight.
Whats your diet like, calories, protein, carbs, fat
How much sleep you getting.
You work full time and go to uni fulltime. Do you think that may be your issue? How much sleep do you get? How has your diet gone with the small amount of time you have for preparation? How much down time are you getting?
Seriously answer some of these questions and people here will help you out.
what training program are you doing? 5x5
What are your max lifts. Off top of head for chest, as I just did it today, 92kg is one rep max.
Height and weight. 94kg, 6'3.
Whats your diet like, calories, protein, carbs, fat.: Around 3000 cals a day. Trying to stay low fat, moderate carbs (from whole grains, brown rice etc), high protein.
How much sleep you getting: on average I would say 7hours a night.
Ok, surprisingly hard for me to talk about this but if anyone can relate it's in here.
I feel like shit lately. Late 20s. Im working fulltime and back at Uni fulltime. Im not making gains. Im ALWAYS tired. I can pretty much sit down anywhere, close my eyes and fall asleep. Fat comes on super easy, muscle super hard.
I'd like to explore my options of legal test to get me back up to peak levels, and hopefully a little past peak to FINALLY gain some mass.

Secondly, how long is the whole process and how much does it cost?

I don't know any Doc's around your part of Aus, so I can't help on that front, but I wanted to let you know that your diet MAY be playing a role in how your feeling.
I suggest this because I was eating a 3000 cal diet that was high protien, moderate carbs and fat, but I too was feeling shit and tired all the time, I also have 2 jobs (with erratic hrs) and study a full-time student load at Southern Cross University so I thought it was just not sleeping properly etc. I upped my carbs and cals but found myself feeling even worse, so I thought I'd try a different track and eat high protien/high fat low carbs like less than 100-130g a day and I have never felt better. I have plenty of energy again, I sleep better, and i am able to work allot harder in the gym now. I'm not on a ketogenic diet, just low carb and high fat high protein as that's what works for me. If I were you, I'd try to muck around with your diet first, see if by changing a few things up you get different results.
Good luck mate, I hope you find what your after.
