Is My Goal Achievable?

This isn’t an optimal approach to build muscle or burn fat, but it’s potentially a solid setup to get good at BJJ. So there’s that.

The issue isn’t your hormones. Your levels aren’t out of whack be any means. If you’d spent the last 18 months dialing in your diet and training instead of mulling over TRT, you’d be farther along.

For example, your background mentioned in a previous thread is pretty relevant:

So, you were super-fat, then dieted down to pretty awesome shape… and then “bulked up” by gaining 70 pounds as a guy in his late-30s and you’re dealing with the repercussions from that.

You don’t need to start the hormonal snowball. You need to address your training and nutrition. What are the details on those? Can you toss up a current pic?

Long story short: I think you can get into kickass shape with muscle and relatively lower body fat, but it’s gonna take a shit-ton of work and exogenous Test isn’t going to help if your diet and training are still screwed up.
