Realistic TRT Recomp Progress

Maybe you’ve just found a perfect protocol?

Me too…I’m 47 and together with my wife 25 years with 3 kids. I like to take my time.

I think it’s hard wired into us — the biggest male is seen as the alpha of the tribe, thereby receiving the most women. It’s hard to shake that.

Found out this morning – we’re having a BOY! So fired up.

Mine was like the BBing guys now are too big. I think Arnold looked perfect. I have a lot of work to do.

Thank you, sir! What’s the gender breakdown of yours?

Damn, she liked Arnold? I think almost all women would say he was too big. She has bigger taste than most!

I even asked her if she preferred young Arnold or young Brad Pitt, and she went with Arnold. I was quite surprised.

TBF, Arnold is IMO the best looking BBer. Good enough looking to be an A-list actor.

Congrats!

Wow, I think “Brad Pitt in Fight Club” is the look many women would peg as their ideal – so that’s surprising.

Yeah, Arnold probably is the best-looking. There aren’t a ton of good-looking BBers (probably not a coincidence, lol). Bob Paris was good-looking. Chris Bumstead is handsome AF.

F 15, M 13, F 10…its a hell of a ride

I would’ve been psyched with either gender and hope to have a girl down the road. I know each kid is different, but what have been the biggest differences for you with raising the boy vs. the girls?

I can’t help but daydream about sharing physical activities like lifting and sports with my boy. I would’ve wanted that with a girl, too, but…it’s a stronger desire now that I know it’s a boy.

A daughter brings out the best in a father. The wife will love seeing that change especially. A son is great, a daughter is great. My brother has both. Im glad I dont have a son haha. I would be too tough on the kid. Just realized that because my wife has a son and his father is a total cock. due to this his confidence is shot and I have to figure out how to speak to him in a manner that won’t shock him further . hard work when you think you have it figured out.

Totally agree. I have two nephews and one niece, and I’m my best with the niece – way too hard on the boys. I want a girl! But also so, so thrilled to be having a little boy. God, I’m so damn excited.

Congrats man enjoy! It’ll be good.

I’m not really sure to be honest. Even my 3 kids are all so different.

Guys often wonder what going on TRT will do for their physique – it’s not juice, but sort of is…so will I get yolked?

The biggest thing I’ve noticed, 18 months in, is how much more vascular I am. I’ve leaned out too, but I definitely think the T has played a role.

Pre-TRT:

Today:

Especially in the shoulders, the veins just are way more pronounced. I never saw that pre-TRT, no matter how lean I got.

Congrats on the upcoming boy! You are looking great! I’m definitely becoming more vascular as well, though they haven’t cropped up on my shoulders like that just yet.

I’m just over here getting fat while you guys are getting more ripped. I gained 20lbs in the first month or two on TRT with no other changes but that’s a whole other topic. I was also teetering on going under 150lbs some days back then too.

Looking good though!
