I've been reading and absorbing everything I can for a while and I figured it was about time I make an account so I can be more involved.
I'm in my late 30's, been on legit TRT (160 mg MWF) for a while and am now exploring "TRT-plus". I played hs football and have lifted on and off my whole life (more off than on if I'm honest). I finally started getting my diet and training lined up about 2.5 years ago. And got VERY serious and consistent a little over a year ago.
I slowly went from 230 lbs 30%+ BF to 173 lbs at 10% BF last summer (I did use reta for the last 2 months of my cut, but I had my diet nailed by then). I'm 6'2" so I looked pretty skinny. But damn it was awesome to have abs and veins everywhere for the first time in my life! I've been lean bulking the majority of the last ~8 months and got up to 196 lbs. I recently did an aggressive mini-cut and am now hovering around 188 lbs at 10% BF.
We're officially done having kids and I gave up on my thinning hair about 5 years ago, so I'm open to pushing the envelope on TRT+ and even doing some small blasts and cruises down the road. But with my current training age I don't think I need to use large amounts of anabolics to still get great results. I'll save that for down the road when I've earned the privilege. Plus I am not willing to sacrifice my long term health in any significant ways.
About 2 weeks ago I started a 12 week mini-cycle of 260 mg Test C (75 MG EOD). I know this isn't even enough to hardly qualify as a mini-cycle. But I want to use it as a learning opportunity to see how my body responds (especially estrogen).
So far on TRT I haven't had any sides other than mild acne. Will be doing labs in another 4-5 weeks. I live at 5500' so hematocrit seems to be my main concern (my bloodwork has varied from 46 to 54, latest 47).
Anyways, I'm looking forward to engaging with the community on my journey towards being the most jacked dad on our street haha!
