55 year old male. Former user of deca and test cyp for bodybuilding. No use for 1+ years.
6' 1" 195 lbs.

My libido is fine, but I have noticed decreased recovery in gym and some major strength loss in deadlift and squat
over the past 6 months. Would clomid or hgc help? I would like to stay off trt if possible. I currently take vitamin d, zinc and ashwagandha. Also take longjack extract, but not consistently.

Thanks for any opinions.
