Hey folks.

Quick introduction post. I'm 6'1 220lbs currently. I found this world at 24 y/o when I was ridiculously fat at over 300lbs. My life was a wreck. Borderline depression probably, absolute lack of drive, motivation, discipline, kind of just a loser. My member didn't work right. I was miserable. Doc ran bloodwork and TT came back in the 300's iirc with a super low FT as well. Started TRT.

Sexual function significantly improved and I started feeling better mentally. I absolutely neglected getting my body fixed and didn't do anything physical for a couple of years which obviously was a mistake. The last year and a half I've spent losing weight and beginning to weight train. I'm 220 now and still obviously losing weight, got another 17lbs to go to my next target (203, I was 303 at my heaviest). My training has been iffy until the last couple months as I relied on running and cardio to satisfy that for a good while. October I started getting more serious about structured programs and weight training consistently. My current strength training goal is to hit a 1000lb total and I project that will be satisfied by the end of February most likely.

I don't know that I want to use AAS beyond physiologic replacement and definitely not while I still have weight to shed, but maybe one day. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't enticing. I found my way here tangentially while trying to dig in and learn as much as I can about how to structure weight training/programs/nutrition in the best ways. I figure this forum has plenty to offer in terms of those things as well. I've recently begun incorporating Reta after losing the majority of my weight without it.

I'm just here to soak up knowledge of all sorts, nutrition, training, AAS use and harm reduction because it's fascinating to me. There are some beasts on this forum and I look forward to learning from you folks.

I know I said quick intro and that was quite lengthy. Oops. Thanks for having me!
 
For my own record keeping more than anything, quick update.

Down to around 210lb morning fasted weight the last couple days.

I decreased my deficit some as I've been in one for a good long time and just needed a break frankly. Went from 1600-1800 cals a day to 2000-2100 per day. Weight loss slowed slightly, obviously, but feeling much better and stronger.

TRT still at 160mg/wk using cyp. I've also gone from 2x weekly IM to daily IM with a 29ga insulin syringe and thoroughly enjoying it.

Forearm and bicep veins are present pretty much 24/7 these days and honestly that's a big psychological win for me. I've never been even close to what someone would consider lean. I've still got a ways to go before you could say that, but I'm the "leanest" I've ever been.

Beach in 3 weeks so continuing to hang out in my smaller deficit and pushing hard on the weights.

At ~200lb I'll get a dexa and see where my bf % is as I'm super curious to know.

Beach trip in 3 weeks
