Been on a journey into the joys of lifting since I turned 40. Now 48 and still feeling like iron is pure magic.
My battle is coming from tall skinny dude to looking respectable - not trying to get into competition or anything, far from it. 6'4", and at this stage 220lb. I am benching my own weight, squatting double, and deadlifting a bit more for reps. It really hasn't been easy to get here, so I'm fairly happy. I was Mr pencil neck, skinny fat, pale and tired and over the hill 8 years ago.
Took the plunge with T last year. My T was low-mid normal, but I managed to get someone to set me up on a medical TRT plan. (in the UK, this isn't easy). For a while, nothing good came of it, then I decided to look into my own thyroid numbers and low and behold, I have hashimotos. Explains why the T wasn't helping, and still falling asleep on the train home.
Self medicating on NDT has done the trick, and now the T is dialled in, with the help of HCG and aromasin, I am fixing to get on to my first beginner's cycle. I know my lipids, HCT, blood pressure and hormones are all in ideal range now, so I am ready. I will be doing Test E only at 500mg/week, pinning EOD. I plan to run this for 12 weeks with 12.5mg aromasin EOD.
I've got enough medical T in reserve (Test E) to last until mid-spring, so have terminated my TRT plan, while I source and perfect the art of brewing. I spent 6 months looking for somewhere like this, wasting time at various other forums. Sadly I already bought 100g from a dubious source in China and brewed up only to fail my Labmax test.
Here's where the struggle has paid off, finding MesoRX. I can't believe I never dived in to see what it was about, but I love the spirit of this place. Seems like there is no judgement, no holding back, and people just looking out for each other, without having to be pussies about it.
So on that note, if anyone has got this far and wants to tell me I'm a stupid ass for any reason, don't hold back
