Hi bros… new here. 31 yrs old, did a couple of cycles when I was 20-21. Made it out and maintained reasonable hormone levels for the last 10 years but alas after a couple years of consideration I began trt a few months ago. Wish I had bit the bullet sooner!
I’m currently 6’1” 165 and naturally stay under 7-8% body fat. I’ve lifted my whole life but not as much the last 5-6 years because I just didn’t have the energy and felt like I couldn’t progress at all.
Ive delt with pretty nasty joint pain the last few years and got a CT fusion scan (which is fucking badass tech) that revealed some decent arthritis in my spine, shoulders, hips, SI joints and knees. Nothing terrible but it’s definitely there. Under my neurologist’s recommendation I’ll probably have a bone spur in my neck shaved out this year but other than that it is all very manageable as long as I do my part.
I wasn’t able to progress in my physical therapy whatsoever until I began TRT and now that I’m starting to feel relieve it’s lit the fire again. My doc has me on 200mg/week which has my levels around 800. Next labs coming next week.
I’m planning on doing a reasonable cycle pretty soon, I think the extra mass will go a very long way in relieving my joints. I have two toddlers who I’d like to still be bigger and stronger than when they’re in their 20’s lol.
Anyway it’s good to be here and on the road to feeling better.
Goals:
Reach a weight close to 195 pounds with a little less body fat than I have now.
Don’t fuckin hurt myself!
