Intro and Questions

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!
 
Thanks for the feedback!

Mobster, he said he wanted to see total T at the “high end of optimal between 900-1000” and that would get free T where it needed to be and that I should feel a lot better in the next 2-3 weeks. He said we would do more blood work in 10 weeks and make any adjustments needed up/down to the dose at that time.

Thanks again guys!
 
Things are going pretty good so far. I’m still sticking to a good diet, which is making things much easier to move towards my goals. Just the TRT dose has provided a lot of positive effects; from increased energy, to strength & endurance, and even lowered BF%. To have not been using TRT any longer than I have been, I am very happy with the results.

My weight is back up and hovering around 200 lbs (+12-15 lbs over the past 10 weeks), while my waist size has stayed the same or even gotten a little bit smaller. Tone and definition is returning rapidly. All of my max lifts are up more than I had expected.

I am going to add some stuff at low doses and see how it goes over the next few weeks. My days of blasting a gram of anything per week are behind me...I’m gonna take a different approach and actually listen to the vets who say to use the least amount possible to get the best results with the least sides.

I appreciate the feedback everybody has given me here, and I will drop back and return to lurking for a while until it’s time to provide another update down the road.

Stay safe.
