Athlete in search of answers..HELP!!?!
Question: Hello, I'm only 16 years old and am am active athlete. I've been a competitive swimmer since the age of 6. At age 12 my life took a turn for the best and was on top of the world being ranked 4th overall in the nation for my best event. On to thirteen and my career and success continued to grow. At that time being I weighed about 180 pounds, 6' lean muscle mass. Once hitting high school I changed eating habits and lost a total of 30 pounds thinking this would help and since most swimmers are lean fighting machines. I became a skinny mess and am fighting to gain my weight back. I am now currently at 164 pounds however my times aren't even close to when I was 13-14. I'm dealing with great amounts of fatigue and get tired easily. Practices are long and I lift on top of practice. I am now eating healthy and get at least 7 hours of sleep however my times still don't compare. My father and I are looking to testosterone to get my drive back and competitiveness. Please help me out!!

i dont think testosterone boosters are the way to go... you twiddled with your weight/ eating habits... thus it made your body go haywire... i do not approve of athletes trying to get round the rules by taking extraordinary supplements... it is unfair and unsportsmanlike...
try to regain your internal balance.. then slowly go back to a weight you feel would be most comfortable with you...
you are still young... with time... you will regain your quality... just maintain eating healthy, make sure you have protein, carbs and veggies.... do not cut corners by taking other pills...
