My trek through a new life in TRT

**bigboy67** · 12-21-2012, 02:24 PM

Got hydro weighed, and I lost another 7 lbs fat and gained 7 lbs lean on the last 6 weeks

Overall pretty damned happy with my blast. Official end of cycle results.... Lost 24 lbs fat and gained 12 lbs lean in 14 weeks

I now stand at 17.1% bodyfat, lowest of my life, down from 31.9% 14 months ago. Overall gaining 9 lbs muscle and losing 45 lb fat during those 14 months

Hey fellas.... Any of you have good recipes for sweets that are semi-good for you? My sweet tooth is out of fricken control, and I need to just make something myself that I can eat without fear of ballooning up over the holidays.

take some bananas and smash them on a plate with a fork. Put in freezer and let it get cold. Drizzle honey and add blueberries on top.

Haha, I was on the news tonight, ridiculous but true. Of course, they cut out the part where I talked about getting my hormones balanced, but whatevs...

Hey fellas, been on SubQ for about 3 months now. just got my bloods back. all in all, pretty happy. my total and free numbers have dropped a bit, BUT, i have totally removed my AI and my E2 is sticking right at 30 which is my sweet spot. I think i will stick with SubQ, though I may move to 60mg 2x per week instead of 50

OLD PROTOCOL

Test cyp 80 mg every wednesday IM
anastrazole 0.5mg every wednesday, friday, sunday
hcg 300iu every sunday and monday

Total Test 776 [250-1100 ]
Free Test 185.5 [35.0-155.0 ]
E2 {{undetectable}} [< or = 39 ]

NEW PROTOCOL

Test cyp 50 mg 2x per week SubQ
zero hcg or anastrazole

Total Test 499 [348-1197 ng/dL]
Free Test 18.8 [8.7-25.1 pg/mL]
E2 {32.3} [7-42 pg/mL]

sounds great, when did you get the blood drawn in relation to shots?

why did you drop out the HCG ?

and congrats on being able to drop the AI!! Quite a nice thing I must imagine!

Great thread man, I really enjoyed reading it through. I'm 4 weeks in on TRT at 29 years old.

Looks like you also got rid of the hCG ? Aren't you paying the price, with shrinking nuts?

I can see wanting to back off the AI, but why drop the hCG?

Congrats on your progress! Great success story.

A couple reasons. 1 is cost, shit is expensive. 2 is I wanted to see what difference I noted in how I felt/nut shrinkage. 3 is that I wanted a baseline of testosterone only... I'll likely add hcg back in after my next blast, so when I get bloods drawn next ill be able to see what hcg adds to actual testosterone levels

Oh. And I honestly also don't care if my balls shrink up. Done having kids, second will be born any day now. Getting a vasectomy as well in about 3 weeks

I always get bloods drawn at the trough, so each time it was literally a few hours before I took my next injection. Love having no AI, I just save them up now for blasting purposes
