Hey all. I am 41 and just started T therapy. I have had prior experience in the gym, over a decade which included b/f in 7-12% continuous ranges). Fast forward a few years and I haven’t trained AT ALL and fell to 217 and 33%+!!! I lacked fire and motivation while craving sappy movies and pizza. I had become a bitch.
Hit up the dr and T came back at 168!!! I started crying and asked for a Bon Bon. Here are my labs, my protocol, diet, and training schedule. Please jump my ass and tell me right or wrong. I haven’t trained in some time and am basically starting as a beginner. Here goes:
41 yrs old
217 lbs. 33%bf
normal hair bodywise but did notice crown hair loss on gel (treated successfully w finesteride
no testicular pain
havent woken to a hardon since I was a teenager but am as horny as one. Did not have issues with getting or
maintaining an erection which I question a bit
Use to be a freak of nature living below 12% bf with crazy energy to the point of hearing about it daily then it
all seemed to end overnight
