Well guys, I’m going the trt route!

[Xpliot]

I go tomorrow to the trt doctor for my blood test Cost 280 lol hopefully I can get everything figured out and get on the right track! Also I’ve been stuck at 189lbs the last couple weeks and I’ve already cut calories but don’t want to cut them any lower then I already have because I feel like it’s not enough calories when I’m getting 2000 or a little more idk what to do. I don’t eat junk food or anything bad. I track everything I eat as well.

 

[John]

If your stuck at 189 buddy,why are you cutting calories?

 

[Xpliot]

Trying to get to 10 bf. I’m at 12.8 and hasn’t moved and I don’t feel like I’m any closer to abs lol

 

[John]

I don’t feel 2000, or lower is enough to make gains

 

[John]

So your 189, 12.5 BF and you don’t have abs,and you eat 2000 or less cals a day, I don’t even see how that’s possible,please explain.

 

[Xpliot]

I eat 2000 or a little more and I have no clue what’s wrong with me lol I know I have really low t… Like school girl low.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Eating so little van also be why you text is low

 

[Xpliot]

I was eating 2600 and still not moving on the scale and my body didn’t look any different. Idk I’m still new to this and I have been losing wait for the last 8 months

 

[John]

Nothing wrong with you,just trying to figure things out, more people,smarter then me will respond and help figure things out

 

[John]

High metabolism…

 

[Xpliot]

I appreciate it! Lol I’m also still pretty new to everything I’ve only been lifting 8 or 9 months and lost 70 pounds so far

 

[Xpliot]

Also I talked to the trt doctor and he said there could be a few things that are keeping me from losing bf or something else like a thyroid problem or something idk

Are you going on trt bc your cycle is over ? Also hate to say this but genetics do place a big role in abs and if your not seeing them at 12% you most likely won’t see them at 10% but them again they might be under there just really need to get below 8% to see maybe but it’s not always healthy to be at such low bf percentage… try lowering your fats intake for a few weeks see how that works … good luck !

 

[Xpliot]

Haven’t done a actual cycle. I’m going to a trt doctor because I had my actual doctor do a blood test and I was at 291. And the trt doctor said they test for other stuff as well and that I should be at over 600. Also gonna check some other stuff he said

 

[Vargas33]

Yeah that’s pretty low natural T levels … with them In the right range and you dialing up your diet , training hard consistently you should be able to drop that fat your wanting to !! Good luck with your doc . Keep us updated!!

 

[Xpliot]

Thanks man! Hopefully it all gets figured out lol

 

[John]

How tall are you @189

 

[Xpliot]

5”11

So my take, TRT will not help you lose fat unfortunately. Either way with your t levels naturally, it may be beneficial for you regardless, but I wouldn’t expect it to make a huge difference.

Metabolism is a bitch sometimes. What are your macros, do you weigh everything, make sure you’re not ignoring “small things” like sauces and stuff that can add up. If you truly are tracking properly and are not able to drop body fat at that, you may need to spend some time to slowly ramp your metabolism back up. What calories did you eat on your last bulking and maintenance phases? How drastic did you cut calories when deciding to cut?

If you just lost 70 pounds you might just need some time for shit to tighten up. That a lot of friggin weight man and good job if I hadn’t already told you that before. When my natural test was low like that my estrogen was also high. And reversing both will help you lean out a little. Not like 70 pounds worth haha but you already did that. Let us know what your bloods are when you get them.
