“Existence precedes essence.” - Jean Paul Sartre
Age: 25
Height: 5’3"
Waist: 34"
Weight: 156#
Hair: Moderate jew-beard; visibly receding hairline. Moderate body hair covering chest, stomach, legs, arms.
Fat: Mostly carried in gut, love handles and really bad in the chest. I’ve been skinny-fat my entire life, though now I have a modest amount of muscle.
Junk: No testes ache. Considerably less frequent morning wood.
Symptoms: Lethargy, chronic fatigue, mood swings, diminished libido, 80% erections, social withdrawal, difficulty gaining strength / losing fat, depression, anxiety. Bad gyno, but no lumps or tenderness.
Rx/OTC Drugs: None currently. I took Doxycyclene for several months in an unsuccessful attempt to treat some pretty bad bacne. This was up until around July.
Diet: The usual. High protein, carbs/fats cycled depending on the day. Minimal processed food. Chicken, beef, eggs, oats, sprouted grain bread, protein shakes, rice, etc.
Training: Typical 4-day bodybuilding split. I sustained a low back injury recently, so this is my first time doing a training cycle without squat/DL variations. But other than that, it’s pretty generic. Moderate volume.

Please let me know if I should post the entire thing.
