Long time lurker finally decided to join the fun. I am 48 years old and recently decided to start giving a shit about my body. I am 6’ and 225lbs and I am down 40 lbs from my highest weight in October. I am currently using 10 mg of Tirzepatide weekly, dosed every 3.5 days and 150 mg of Test Cyp weekly, dosed eod. I am working out 5 days a week, eating right, and counting macros. I’ve been on and off trt for the past 20 years and I am looking for advice on how to improve my physical fitness and health.

I look forward to future discussions with the community!

Thanks!

Any side effects from tirzepatide at 10mg? Is that why you split your dose?

 

[476259]

Nothing major. Maybe some tiredness the day after, if anything. I split the dose because half way through the week the hunger noise would start to creep back in.

How much bacterial water do you add to a 10mg vial

 

[476259]

What is you weekly dose? 10mg? 1ml of bac water would be 100 units on a 1ml syringe for 10mg.

2.5 milliliters a week

1ml of bac water would be 25 units on the syringe. 2ml of bac water would be 50 units on the syringe.

Thank you. I’m really not this dumb. Just having a brain fart.

 

[476259]

No worries!

Welcome! What do you mean by on and off trt for 20 years? That sounds like a roller coaster! Too many side effects or fertility issues?

Thanks! I tested low in my late twenties and was put on trt at that time. I was getting 200mg of Test C, once per month, in my PCP’s office and it was an awful experience. I continued on that for a few years and eventually gave up due to the inconsistencies. I dealt with the issues and felt like garbage with low libido, weight gain, and my hypertension got worse. Fast forward to now, I started TRT again last year, after I convinced my PCP to test my T levels. I was <150 total T two tests in a row. He started me on 200mg per month, self administered, eod, no more 1x month crap for me! I started to feel better immediately and had more energy. I got back into the gym, started on Tirzepatide and began working out 5 days a week. 9 months and a lot of research later, I am up to 150mg per week, down 60lbs, BP is 110/70, Total T is 600 and I feel like I’m 17 again! Only persistent issue is high RBC and hematocrit, mostly due to obstructive sleep apnea, which is getting better with the weight loss.
