Hello!

[BadandyB]

55-year-old man. Fat, weak and out of shape. Body beat to hell. Decided it's time to fix it.

This week started weight training (I used to train regularly many years ago) and watching my diet along with some way over priced Sema (had success with this during Covid) and a Tesa/Ipa blend. Surprisingly my knees feel ever so slightly better. Going to track all my progress and make notes as I go. Not looking to be a body builder, just want to get in some semblance of being in shape, look better, and regain strength and muscle.

Learning a lot as I research the anti-aging, TRT, etc. topics. Plan to finish the stuff I am on and then move to 2IU / day HGH and either stay on Sema or move to Tirz or Reta. I do like the hunger suppression of Sema though. Seriously considering at that time either adding 100mg / wk Test and / or doing about a 300mg / wk cycle to try and get a good jumpstart. This is all also somewhat dependent on find a quality source and reasonable price, naturally. A lot to learn all the way around. I do have current bloodwork so I know my starting numbers.

Thanks for having me!

Get lean first man.

If you are 55 and have been overweight, put yourself through a battery of medical exams before touching anything.

Have you had recent bloodwork? How comprehensive was it? What is your cholesterol like?

I highly recommend getting a calcium score and following up with a cardiologist.

Any out of line health markers or hidden issues you have right now will only be turbocharged once you touch gear. Don't step on the gas until you make sure your body is ready to handle it.

The Serum blood testing topic has lots of good information about what tests to get and the best places to get them.

This post is a good start, but the entire topic has great information. Learn as much as you can about bloodwork.

Yes, and 20% off your first order when joining or converting existing subscription to annual premium.

Also recently lowered several LabCorp biomarkers and working to get some reductions on several Quest items.

There's a new lab called GoodLabs which just came out which alot of people here have started to use. The prices below are before their 20% off coupon, which makes it insane. It might be your main competitor now.

Thank you for all the information, and I will definitely check out the testing topic.

My bloodwork, although done in stages, has all been done within the last 3 weeks. And I just did a EKG and cardiac stress test. Other than low protein, low vitamin D, and E2 at 35 everything is in the "normal" range. But my GH and Total T are just barely in range.

I am going to keep researching. My family doc is the one who enlightened me to grey market peptides, etc. but she (understandably) doesn't want to give advice on GH and Test.

Thank you, and I will do some digging in the testing sub!
