Hey UGBB, I am new....kind of. I am looking for some information about having trouble reaching hypertrophy. To be clear, I am not a bb or PL. I just want to look and feel good. I am not on TRT . I have used test E and C before and on my 2nd go I stayed on for about 6 months. My body test didn't fully recover but it was about 375 last time I had bloods pulled about 5 months ago. I have zero interest in ever going down that road again. But, my body doesn't want to reach hypertrophy anymore. I worked my ass off this past month in the gym and it seems rare that my muscles get sore anymore.I took some time off due to reoccurring injuries and I have only been working out for the past month. Does steroid use destroy receptors? Did I do irreparable damage to the point where growth simply cannot happen? I am not a big guy. 6 ft 175 and by bf% is disgusting at rhe moment. My diet is somewhere between 2800 Cal's and 3300 Cal's daily. Not enough protein but, I'm getting better. Stay off the sugar for the most part and the carbs are pretty clean. Is there some research material that can help? Or does anyone out here have some info on what could potentially be going on physiologically? I miss having sore muscles. It always made me feel like I'm making progress. Thanks in advance for any assistance or information
