Hello gang,
I was a member on here quite awhile back, but I went AWOL for a couple years and ate myself into a coma. Damn near literally. I gained a shit load of weight over the past several years and my health took a beating. Ended up with t2 diabetes, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, you name it. Finally, when I hit 240 I had enough. (Btw , I'm only 5'2", so you can imagine). I spent the past 12-16 months discovering how to eat properly and regaining my love for the gym again. Got my TRT pretty dialled in when it was all over the place forever Lost 75lbs, currently at 165 abs feeling pretty damn great!
On my way down, I did my first cycle, pretty standard, 350 test for 12 weeks and finished off with some anavar. This was still quite awhile back and I was probably over 30% bf still so I probably shouldn't have, but I was realistic about my expectations, my goal for it was more to help push strength in the gym and preserve muscle on my way down. Exceeded my expectations and had no issues.
Now I'm planning another round, this time I'm looking at doing a test/mast cycle. A few reasons for this, realistically I realized I am still in a position where I'd like to cut a bit over any type of bulk. Second, the way everyone describes how they "feel" on mast is attractive to me. At this point and with my goals I'd rather have some lean composition changes and feel like a million bucks than deal with less than desirable sides. The vibe I get is that most people love how they feel on mast. Anyways, like most of these compounds, people argue until the cows come home about ratios, but I'd like to hear from you guys. I've read everything from 2-1 test/mast to 2/1 mast/test. I was thinking of 375 test 250 mast, which is kind of an odd number, but really it's because those numbers work perfectly for the amount of test I already have on hand, and 2 vials of mast will allow for 250 over 16 weeks. Thoughts and tips along the way? Plan is 16 weeks running from Sept up into Christmas. I'm also tossing around the idea of finishing up with anavar if everything is going well and I'm feeling good around the last 6 weeks or so, but I'm up in the air about that.
Bloodwork - I'm due for my TRT bloodwork in a little over a week, and I'm only due every 6 months at this point. My last bloodwork was my best in years, and I'm only expecting better as I've probably lost close to 30 since my last.
I've attached my last bloodwork. My only big concerns is my hematocrit is high a bit, it has been pretty much since I started try, but stays pretty much there. Also estradiol is high, always sits around there too. Don't really notice much other that I battle acne pretty bad even on TRT, and I grew hair freakin everywhere.
Ok, diet. I've been in a deficit for over a year for sure, with scheduled breaks along the way. I'm on one right now and will probably eat at maintenance until I start cycle in Sept. While in a deficit, I eat as low as 1700 a day, with a once a week refeed of around 2000. This has kept me losing pretty steadily, and it took over a year to lose 75lb, although things picked up substantially as I got stronger and more intense in the gym. I track all my food when I'm deficit, with around 160g protein a day and the balance leaned a little heavier to the fat side than carbs. I work at a remote mine site on 14/14 schedule where I live and am fed at work. This makes accurate tracking hard , and the food isn't the healthiest. I bring in a lot of my own food at this point
Training is currently 5 day split, with 3 upper and 2 lower days. This is the absolute best split for my work and travel schedule and I love it. I also do incline treadmill at a casual zone 2 pace 5-6 days a week. My job is VERY sedentary at this point. As a former millwright, I was accustomed to physical labor, but now I'm at a desk for 13 hour shifts. So I also get up early, and shoot for 10,000 steps before my shift starts. When I'm at the mine, there isn't much for me to do except work and exercise lol. The only thing that suffers is sleep. At work, 6.5 hours is a great night
TRT is enanthate, 160mg/wk split into two. No AI, no HCG, just test.
Supps
Multi, fish oil, zinc, magnesium,, ashwagandha, K2/X3 10,000 units.
Meds
Metformin 1000mg/day, pantoprazole for stomach. Baby aspirin. I was on both blood pressure and cholesterol meds when I was big, but I was pulled off both awhile back. BP averages in the 95/55 range
I think that's it? Would love everyone's input and I'm attaching a pic as well
