Hey all excited to be starting a log about my HRT and training thanks to my sponser @Liquid Gold Labs !


I’ve been weight training about 4 years now, for those first 3.5 years I didn’t realise my hormones were totally out of whack, so to say building muscle has been hard is an understatement!!
I do struggle with fatigue and find that’s my main issue with building muscle, is that I rarely have enough stamina to really push hard in the gym, but I still go and do my best.

I have decided to stop chasing fat loss and eat at maintenance for the entire year, and see how much muscle I can build along with my supps!

Current maintenance cals are 2100 but I will be trying to reverse diet and get my cals up higher, and hopefully this will help boost my metabolism too.

I can see some muscles coming in and people are commenting I look ‘toned’ but I’m determined to build more muscle as I want to be a strong ass woman by the time I hit 50!
Excited to see how I progress this year with help from @Liquid Gold Labs !

Thank you for following along

Updated pics to come, and training/meals etc

 

[Allupfromhere]

Following and welcome to the @Liquid Gold Labs team

Thanks bro

 

[Liquid Gold Labs]

Great start to your log smiley!

Stoked to have another sister onboard the team

Have had quite a long conversation with @Smiley G and can tell you guys that she is one hard working woman

@Smiley G I am sure your log is going to inspire many other women in a similar situation to yourself and hopefully we can see some more sister logs for HRT in the near future.

The laws in this country surrounding HRT for people such as yourself that genuinely need and would benefit from it are ridiculous - hopefully your progress can be a piece of the puzzle that helps to bring positive change and easier access to HRT for people that would benefit greatly from it.

Will be following along on your fitness journey and can't wait to see what you achieve

We got your back sis, may the gains begin and the good times roll

Thank you @Liquid Gold Labs youve been genuinely amazing in your help and willingness to spend time chatting to me, very daunting for someone like me to know who to trust in this kind of industry, but you’ve been just fantastic and it’s really put me at ease!
I feel so sad for so many women who are suffering… Dr’s say ‘your hormones are normal, take this anti depressant’ and that’s all they have to offer.. meanwhile, we lose energy, we lose hair, we lose muscle, we lose skin elasticity,we lose our libido, we lose our joy for living! No wonder so many relationships breakdown.
Hopefully my log will help others as you’ve said, I’m glad you encouraged me to start it
Well I’m off to the gym!

 

[Mobster]

Will you be considering HRT?

[BodyMonster34]

sister i trying to get my fat wife to get into shape.

[JasonPriest]

great to hear that you have the support of the aussie community.

we are looking forward to seeing how you do on this one!

 

[Wootoom]

You got a late start with weight training but that's okay. Better late than never.

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

What kind of exercise were you doing before you started to weight train 4 years ago?

I'm sure you were doing something like, maybe yoga or Pilates, or some type of cardio.

 

[2Thick]

Nice start to this log. I'm looking forward to following it.

 

[e2]

Can't wait to see your pictures, try and get them up as soon as possible.

This time, we'll have a before and after look, As reference.

 

[StevenDarwinMD]

APPROVED LOG

 

[Ulter]

Can you post up your blood work? Where it shows that you have low testosterone and low estrogen.

 

[chesty]

Any particular reason, why your doctor thinks that you have thyroid issues

It's a common thing, especially with middle-aged women, but I'm just curious if they said anything.

 

[ROIDDERS]

This would be a really good one to start. A lot of women are in your situation.

 

[ceo]

Sister. This one will be fun for sure.

I'm specially looking forward to seeing your meals. It's always good to see a female perspective on food prep.

 

[RoidRage69]

sister i trying to get my fat wife to get into shape.

gonna show her log. she going through menopause too but she got knocked up again.. this will be our 8th kid.

Make sure and get a paternity test. She probably got knocked up by the exterminator.

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

Glad to have you! Really nice start to the log. Very interested in following along as this is different from a majority of the logs we get.

 

[RoidRageWife]

Nice to see you back!

 

[Smiley G]

Will you be considering HRT?

I am alredy doing HRT, I’m on Estrogen and Progesterone, no Dr will Presscribe Test tho… so I am getting this from @Liquid Gold Labs

 

[Smiley G]

You definitely have the support of the community. It's an honor to have you on here logging. We look forward to helping you and you helping others.

Thank you so much!

 

[Smiley G]

Nice to see you back!

Thank you! Excited to me back, and looking forward to my supps thanks to all the wonderful help and guidance from @Liquid Gold Labs

 

[Smiley G]

great to hear that you have the support of the aussie community.

Thanks bro!

 

[Smiley G]

Will do!

 

[Smiley G]

Can you post up your blood work? Where it shows that you have low testosterone and low estrogen.

I can post even better then bloodwork, I have a full ‘DUTCH’ test done. It’s a dried urine test which measures everything extre lot more accurately then bloods! Will find it and post !

 

[Smiley G]

What kind of exercise were you doing before you started to weight train 4 years ago?

I'm sure you were doing something like, maybe yoga or Pilates, or some type of cardio.

I was doing Pilates and walking everyday…. But that’s it

 

[Smiley G]

Any particular reason, why your doctor thinks that you have thyroid issues

It's a common thing, especially with middle-aged women, but I'm just curious if they said anything.

Dr actually told me all hormones and bloods were normal, but then I went to specialts who ordered a dried urine test which showed everything was far from normal, hence why I was feeling so unwell

 

[Smiley G]

sister i trying to get my fat wife to get into shape.

I think with 7 kids to look after and another on the way ‘getting into shape’ is the last thing on her mind, she is most likely exhausted! How about you go get the snip so she doesn’t get ‘fat’ anymore bro?? Geez poor woman if she does read this, lady you need a fricken medal! all the best with your 8th

[Smiley G]

Good morning all,
Posting some pics so we have some reference to look back on…
Feeling very vulnerable posting these as all of you are so ripped and muscular and I still have such a long way to to, but hey… got to start somewhere I guess.
I’m also posting my ‘before’ pic of how I looked before I started strength training which is extremely hard for me to share, but if it helps anyone like me then it’s worth it.
The last 4 years have been a slow struggle to recomp, and build muscle, but the HRT in the last 6months has been a game changer!
So I’m super excited for this year as I am dedicating the entire year to building, no dieting! And my supps from @Liquid Gold Labs can’t thank him enough for all his help,guidance and support! 100% legend

 

[Smiley G]

Someone asked for bloods, these are my DUTCH test results which are more accurate then bloods, as when your Peri-Meno hormones are always so up and down so bloods can be widely up and down also

 

[Allupfromhere]

bro you need a shanking too.

bodymonster you would have to be the funniest member on evo

I’ve been weight training about 4 years now, for those first 3.5 years I didn’t realise my hormones were totally out of whack, so to say building muscle has been hard is an understatement!!
I do struggle with fatigue and find that’s my main issue with building muscle, is that I rarely have enough stamina to really push hard in the gym, but I still go and do my best.

I have decided to stop chasing fat loss and eat at maintenance for the entire year, and see how much muscle I can build along with my supps!

Current maintenance cals are 2100 but I will be trying to reverse diet and get my cals up higher, and hopefully this will help boost my metabolism too.

@Smiley G stay on that grind will be interesting to track your journey!

 

[Smiley G]

Great start Smiley, the fatigue can be brutal good on ya.
Are you on meds for the AS?

Hey bro, no I’m not on any meds for the AS… dr’s really didn’t have much to offer, I tried LDN for a while (Low Dose Naltrexone) but I didn’t really find it did much.. I try to eat low inflammatory diet etc which seems to be managing it for now… although I do go through stages where pain increases and I get what I call ‘flare ups’ so I usually up my Magnesium, and fish oils, PEA… stuff like that till it calms down again

 

[Smiley G]

My supps from @Liquid Gold Labs arrived today!
Looking forward to an amazing sleep tonight thanks to the HGH and hitting the gym toomorow
Will keep you all posted!

 

[Smiley G]

Made a lot of good progress you should be proud. I know I’ve got a few pics of myself at like 160+ lbs body weight was a lot of fat pounds. So the pic I have most recently posted still feeling self conscious lol. Even though all the gals seem to want a big ass! Keep it up

Thank you !! I just found your new log and I’m following along, awesome work your looking amazing and so strong !! Ass is amazing too! Haha lucky man @RoidRage69 wink wink

Yeah agreed diet is huge , I've cut out added sugers and a lot of pain has gone but the afternoon fatigue still hangs around. The other thing I'm reading is to cut out all complex carbs, so I'm keen to give that a go once I've built some muscle.
I'll check out the PEA haven’t heard of that one before

Bro do you have AS also? Yeah the fatigue still gets me, as you say afternoon is the worst…but some days it’s just all day … sucks hey… yes, I really don’t have much sugar at all, causes too much inflammation, and then pain, I have recently tried doing lower carb, and I definitely do feel better on lower carb and higher fats. It’s all about finding what works for your body … if my pain gets too bad, I take Naproxen which is a slow release anti inflammatory … I try not to take them too much tho, but sometimes I have to. I am also going to be trialing micro dosing Retatrutide which is a GLP 1… there is great feedback on the GLp1’s helping lower inflammation and many other health benifits! So I am excited to try that. Will add updates on that here also

That looks sooo good! I will have a look at making those wraps too, trying to add some more low carb meal into the arsenal. Nice update mate!

No worries! I’m always looking for ways to get my protein in, I feel like it’s a full time job now! Haha Protein, then enough fibre etc it’s a full time job thinking of what to eat all day lol

 

[RoidRage69]

Protein shakes and bags of beef jerky good options.

Just a quick check in,

It’s only been 1 day since my supps arrived from @Liquid Gold Labs and I started on my Test Cyp again, and GH 2iu

Previously to this, for the last few months especially I’ve been really struggling with fatigue and also what I like to call ‘doom & gloom’ feelings… it’s hard to explain.. but it’s like this feeling of a dark cloud looming over me, and just feeling really flat and awful. It comes and goes.

Well 24 hours after taking my Test Cyp 5mg and GH I already feel so much better!
The dark cloud has lifted, my mind feels clearer, and I just feel overall more positive.
Amazing how hormones have such a powerful affect on the body. Don’t take them for granted hey …

Off to take my GH and sleep now so I can smash my gym session in the morning, I got me some muscles to build ! Stay healthy everyone

If you can stay on the TRT do t stop it! I strongly believe that is a big reason fir your ill feelings/ mood! If able just stay on it do t cycle It. Your Post menopausal now correct? No reason to stop u less you start getting negative side effects that you just cannot live without. Seems as though the negative sides of being OFF TRT … are out weighing the good effects of being ON TRT for you. So let it be. HGH hopefully helps with recovery sleep and overall well-being.

Thanks sis, no I won’t stop it again! My last trusted supplier went missing, but I’ve found another trusted lab @Liquid Gold Labs now thank goodness!! He is really looking after me, Absolute bloody legend ! I’m so relieved! His products are amazing!
Im looking forward to feeling better, can’t be without my TRT! it’s literally liquid gold Bahaha pun intended

Will you be micro dosing Retatrutide daily?? Half life of a GLP-1 is like a week. So micro dosing more than 2x a week not really necessary from what I understand. But Retatrutide is 3 antagonists so it’s even more powerful prob faster. You’re not super obese sister. Just Be careful. I’m a believer in slow n steady wins the race. You will likely have a more difficult time getting your proteins in as well reduces cravings slows digestion ect… keep the fiber up too! looking forward to seeing your progress no rush!

Oh no, I will only be micro dosing the Reta once a week. I’m hoping to do such small amounts that it won’t affect my appetite, but will help with things like lowering inflamation, insulin resistance etc.. I know quite a few who dose it extremely small and get all these benefits, and no negative side affects! So fingers crossed!

For sure, micro-dosing seems to reduce many side effects of GLP-1 peptides.
