Here’s a better example. This was from right before starting to cut. I have a softer look, abdominals less defined, and have lost a bit of size. I think the worst part is I’m not as tan. The white body doesn’t help make for a fair comparison
Still haven’t made up my mind regarding TRT, so not planning any future cycle until I figure that out. Just got my lab work back again. TT 521 ng/dL , FT .4 nmol/L. SHBG 27 nmol/L.
Seem to be back to baseline, although still zero libido, and back to the typical lack of confidence and feelings of stress and irritability.
I’m trying to see if cutting gives me that motivation and “goal” that keeps me going.
Appreciate it man. I’ve run 3 cycles now, pretty mild. I’d highly suggest something less harsh on your health for your next cycle (once you’re fully recovered and taken enough time off).
You’re having libido issues but just during PCT? I can tell you have some fullness lost in that last pic but TBH its a physique anyone would be glad to have. You’re always your own worst critic ya know? Where do you get those photos taken by the way? I don’t even have a full length mirror at my house and there is terrible lighting in my master bath.
I’m way past PCT, November 9th was my last day of PCT. So that most recent photo I posted is almost 14 weeks ago. I haven’t had libido issues after PCT previously. However my libido and irritability have been trash, but blood work isn’t bad.
I’ve definitely lost some fullness and gotten a bit softer, but you’re right, we are all our worst critics. It just sucks, because when I’m 200lbs, for the first time ever I feel confident and like I’m a “decent” size… but that also could just be from the 500mg of Test. Tough to tell. Don’t get me wrong, I still want 215lbs, but I at least feel good (not great) at 200.
I’m probably going to regret this cut. But just want to see what’s underneath and prove to myself that I still have a shred of discipline and ability to do so.
The photos I take are at my gym, they have a tanning bed. I don’t tan much anymore these days, however I go in to take photos to gauge progress. I don’t have any full lengths in my house either.
The difference between the photos isn’t much imo. You look good in both. Most people would never see a difference in or out of cloths. A lot is in our heads.
Don’t underestimate the drugs. The whole notion of these guys on all sorts of gear saying it’s not the fear, it’s the training/diet bugs me. Guys like this, no offense man, just aren’t strong or fit necessary. Anything like this natural is impossible. Don’t understand z gearz.
Yes lol so much this… I agree drugs, especially when as potent as tren (and abused this heavily) cannot be underestimated… if tren didn’t impact cardio I bet I could take 700mg weekly, run on the treadmill… that’s it… twelve weeks later I’d be peeled with monster legs
Fuck me 700mg of Tren for 12 weeks, yeah the transformation is epic and congratulations on that but has everyone ignored the pizza back? Not aesthetically pleasing at all.
We are going for aesthetics here and if that were me, i wouldnt be able to show my transformation off with that much bacne.
Low doses, keeping health as the main focus. Thats where its at, IMO.
@aaronca look into HGH with Test as your next cycle, forget Tren. With how lean you are, I think you will look absolutely fucking phenomenal.
To be honest I couldnt help you. Ive been lucky enough to never get acne, the only time i ever got a pimple or 2 was on EQ, probably because of the amount of oil i was injecting.
Try Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) and L Carnitine twice a day in the highest mg you can get per capsule. Dr Crisler recommended that to me and it helped by about 50%.
