This is a good idea although I agree most guys that come here are messed up looking to fix things and then when they do they are gone. I found this forum because I was … lol I can’t remember what I was searching for when I found T Nation but any way after reading a lot of post and the sticky post I realized I was not getting the results that I had gotten when I first started TRT it was a wake up call.
So now I am looking at what I am doing and tweaking it. I am getting ahead of my self, I have been on TRT for 16 month’s started at 150 cyp E6D .5 AI EOD for about 3-4 month’s I didn’t notice much at first then about 6 weeks in I started to feel better my mind, my attitude, my motivation, my sex drive, all got better but I had not started to work out yet and had no lb’s loss at all until at 12 weeks in I got in the gym and it felt great!
Everything went into overdrive at that point I was dropping weight like crazy and adding weight to the barbell like crazy! at the 6 month mark Dr. upped me to 200mg E6D still .5 AI EOD next 3 months were great felt great dropped about 60lbs total and went from 48in to 42in waist went from 3xl to 2xl shirts and the wife was running away from me because she couldn’t keep up…
She was smiling as she ran! LOL! Then at the 9 month mark my work got in the way I had to go on the road for 4 1/2 months, no workouts not eating as good but I didn’t gain any weight and only lost a little muscle. I still felt good but not great. Now for the last 3-4 months I have not gotten back into the gym and had some heavy stress issues, my diet went to hell and I put on 12lbs + and I can tell I have lost some muscle and I started feeling like crap, lost the drive, was tired all the time, and can’t get the motivation to get back into the gym.
That’s why I am here now I am looking for answers, one thing I found is my E was 7 very low so I am working on it. I am doing the IR and started dosing my T 2 times a week and hgc EOD dropped to .25 AI EOD. I am hopping to get back to Great! But I will tell this even the way I have been feeling it is 1000% better that pre TRT.
