Hello community, I have been reading you intensively. I will like your feedback on my approach after reading for months all the various opinions in the forum
I’m 48 years old and I was obese during my 30s and 40s. Two years ago I began eating clean and watching calories/macros with ups and downs but improving continuously.
I have been lifting 4 times a week for the last two years and I went from 35 to around 25 body fat. I have been practicing jiu jitsu consistently for 9 years but always trained being obese.
During my last yearly physical all my lipids came back within range. All good except Total Testosterone ranging from 300 to 450 and free T always around 6.8 pg/ml.
I was feeling tired, without motivation, with joint pains, etc… so decided for TRT. I also began Retra one week after TRT hoping that it will help with weekend munchies, which it did and I love it at lower dosages.
I’m on my 8 week of TRT at 200mg split into 2x a week. I feel great and I have been in the same weight (226 at 6’0) since I started TRT but my body transformation has been encouraging and noticeable. I feel I respond great to test. I feel muscular but I still have love handles to deal with….
I’m currently training 4 times jiu jitsu and now lifting 4 times a week plus walking while in calories deficit hitting all macros.
Now, my main goal is to optimize the next months of TRT to achieve the best transformation possible.
I will like to validate that I can continue at 200mg or even 300 mg for the next 3 to 4 months before going down to TRT cruise dosage of 1xx mg?
Also, by impulse, I bought a lot of Primo E 100 from reputable vendor thinking 500 mg a week but then realized that may be too much based on all comments about lowering down e2. Since I bought this already I will like to incorporate it but so much conflicting info on dosage and efficacy which is the other reason for my post.
I understand from devouring forums that I should start low with Primo maybe 50mg and increase to 100mg over time.
At a minimum will help control e2 if I go up to 300mg maybe 400mg of Test?
Will higher dosages of Primo help me better with muscle building and food partitioning during this “TRT” honeymoon cycle?
Any advice on the optimal Test Primo ratio for the next 3 to 4 months of recomposition based on my labs will be much appreciated.
