Just stopping by to introduce myself. I have been working on getting back in shape over the past 10 months after a 9 year “hiatus.” All I can say is that marriage, kids, and career took center stage and slowly pushed keeping my body in optimal condition way down on my list of priorities.
Last year I saw a side by side picture of myself from October 2019 next to one from August 2011 and it blew me away how out of shape I was...I have lost a lot of the bad weight (67.5 lbs) in the past 10 months through diet and exercise. Having gotten back to a good place to run a cycle, I went and had blood-work done to check my levels before beginning. Total testosterone was under 250 and free test was only 7, so the doc started me on TRT.
I stored the gear I purchased for my first cycle “back” until I get my TRT results after 8-10 weeks of therapy. (I want to know what my baseline is before adding anything to it.)
I have read (and will continue to research and read) some of the threads on the subject but still wanted to post my “story” as well. I am hoping that some of you guys can share your experiences with cycling while on TRT. My basic stats are below:
Height: 5’ 11”
Weight: 188 lbs
BF%: 16%
Age: 34
Currently running TRT dose of 200 mg Cypionate per week, pinning 2X per week @ 100 mg each pin. (I know that is a high dosage for TRT, but it’s what the Dr told me to run so I’m giving it a chance.)
At my best ever physical condition (approximately 10 years ago) I was 228 lbs and 7-8% BF.
My goal is to get my BF% back down at or under 10%, and keep my weight between 200-210 lbs.
I realize that I started using steroids way too early and know (now) that the bro-science PCT routines I used to follow probably contributed to me having low T currently. As they say, hindsight is 20-20. My past experience with using PED’s began in my late teens and I ran 2-3 cycles a year for 7 years. Once I got married and had a kid (along with accepting a very time consuming promotion at my company, that requires a LOT of traveling) I stopped cycling and gradually even stopped going to the gym.
I am looking forward to your feedback and to participating in the conversations here. Thanks in advance!
