I am on a similar “journey.” I was in the best shape of my life in 2011 having spent the better part of a decade in the gym working on achieving my goals. When I got out of the Army and got a civilian job work consumed me, I stopped going to the gym, and by 2019 all my hard work had turned in to the wrong kind of weight. I buckled down and got serious about my diet and MADE time for the gym and my health beginning late 2019. It took a little more than a year to drop close to 60 lbs and get my BF% back in the low to mid teens. I would have loved to jump back on gear right away, but it would not have been healthy and it definitely wouldn’t have been able to provide me with the max benefits at that time.
There is definitely a lot of work to be done natty and it is really important to be in proper condition and to be the right age before picking up any kind of gear.
I started using it way too early and that is very likely why I have ended up with no natural T production in my early 30’s…Hopefully this guy will keep seeking out advice from the knowledgeable bro’s here and then listen to the wise words being spoken.
Best of luck.
