I have way less energy now and less drive to want to lift. It's funny how having a lot of gear in you makes you want to lift and when you're at normal physiological levels, all you want to do is rest or go for a walk. I'm at about 250 lbs, close to before, but I put on some fat and lost some size, especially in my chest. Belly got more fat on it, too. It happened gradually and I was sick, so I don't feel so bad about it... but definitely sucks seeing myself in a new mirror, or from a new angle. I'm not sure when I'll be able to run another cycle, but I think I'm gonna up my doses a bit after my next bloodwork and see if I can lean out and get back some fullness.

Curious to hear your experiences. Any positives to go with those negatives? I know some of us haven't cycled in years on here.
Not since 2019. I was so bummed with Covid, even my TRT has been missing a lot of the time since then. As soon as I get my Endocrinologist off my back, I’m doing another, as I enjoyed the cycle results. Only thing that will stop me is if my BP won’t handle it. Right now my test is at 207 (tanked it deliberately for this week’s BW) and I’m up and down with my motivation. Afternoon naps are getting very regular again, I hear you about the desire to rest. Once again though, if BP starts climbing too high, that’s the end of it.
