Since I've been on the patches my workouts have gone downhill & currently I'm just in a "maintenance" mode trying to keep the fat off & keep the gains I've made. I keep a moderately strict diet & easily pass the military PT test. Even though I weigh in at 32 lbs over my height/age limit, I pass the tape test easily with about 8% to spare.
I'm 41 yrs old & after starting TRT using injections I felt like I did when I was in my early 30's as far as workout levels & energy as well as libido & generally feeling good about myself. I'm not chasing the dream of being 18 again, but I think I can get to a moderately better level. I view TRT as about 25% of the equation & diet/exercise as about 75% of it.
