My TRT and 'getting fit again' journey

Pharma / TRT
1

Hi guys,

New member and first post on this forum. Im 36, 5’10, and ~235 lbs.

Prior experience with gear, clean eating, and being in great shape, but that was about ten years ago. Between getting sober years ago and starting a family, and career shift to being a desk jockey full time (im a mech eng), I really neglected my health and diet, and it now shows physiologically.

I’ve been on TRT for about 4 years, cruising on 200mg test cyp, but with an inconsistent diet and little to no exercise.

I had a come to jesus moment about taking better care of myself, and spent the last couple weeks putting a cycle, diet, and exercise routine together. I just finished the first week.

To kickstart this journey, I am running an 18 week blast. Big fan of var and test , but adding a couple other things.

The goal here is overall health, and 40 lbs of fat loss over the next 18-25 weeks. I’ve done this before on test and anavar alone with an extremely dialed diet. im good with getting back to about 12% bf.

Diet is priority #1 - 2500 cal, 300g protein, 140 carb, 85 fat. Protein goal is hard to hit but i have managed it with good meal prep.
zero processed, no sugar, no high glycemic carbs. no bread, no gluten. managing 1 gallon of water a day.

Exercise - 5 days on , 1 day active recovery/ rest, 1 day full rest.

now the fun stuff -
.2 mg anastrozole/25mg clomid ed or as needed per blood work every 6 weeks ( I have a great doctor)

week 1-4 - sus 250, test cyp ( phasing over to sus remainder of cycle, but about 500 mg total for the week), 50mg anadrol split am/pm

week 5 - test cruise

week 6-12 - 500mg sus, 50 mg anavar split/am pm, 100-200mg primo based on labs.

week13-18 - add 25mg winstrol oral split am/pm, and continue previous segment regimen.

All ancillaries to protect organs, and adding superbeets. giving blood every 8 weeks.

Cheers! -Ryan

I’m confused. You’re prioritizing health but then using a lot of harsh compounds. Also, whatever you “figure out” regarding weight loss on steroids won’t hold true once you stop. 200mg Test is far plenty to lose weight on and maintain health. Why not just do that?

It very much does. My advice would be to lose the weight first and save the anabolics for prime growth phases. But hey, you know what’s worked for you in the past.

Yes, it was at Machine Gun America. I don’t even remember the caliber other than they called it the little ass kicker. It was full auto. I have about 20 of my own various firearms but that was special outting for my fathers birthday.

Hey guys, I read about the importance of sodium intake , but how much?

I drink an electrolyte compound before coffee called relyte, and keep sodium intake about 2500 mg / day.

Going to be following this. Pretty much the same age and height as you. I started 200mg cyp for the first time roughly 14 weeks ago. Went from 28% to 19% bf and gained 11lbs of lean mass. Dropped my dose to 150mg so we will see how it goes.

I also have some old mx injuries and my shoulders weren’t really even (height wise). Since lifting again that seems to have gone away for the first time in 10 years

In general, minimal carbs means that you have less energy unless you go full keto. you are currently in that zone where you always feel like shit.

Makes sense. Nighttime I feel pretty good, got into ketosis a couple weeks ago but got pretty flu’ey. May try again and see what staying in it does for energy.

Thanks

keto flu is usually electrolytes. LMNT is the expensive solution. Problem with keto is you have to stay on keto longer term. Its good for a cut because your hunger gets crushed and ketones reduce lean muscle loss.
