Hi all, I'm new to TRT and Evo. Been lurking for a bit, but have really found the forum to be supportive and a bit of banter that's great!
Over the last 12 months, I have been looking into TRT. Living in Australia and not wanting to pay though the nose at a clinic I've educated myself and I am doing self-managed TRT. My general goal is to lose weight and build a good base, with the injuries I've got I'm finding work harder as I get older. Lower back fractures limit my mobility and pain is a constant factor. So there will likely be a lot of legs, core and more compound moves and not a heap of arms if you follow. I have a PT at my gym, we have two sessions a week with her having more of a flexible approach to each session
Current Stats:
Age: 41
Weight: 87kg
Height: 178cm
Training Exp: 2009 -2012 Weights and Running - Really got into running for stress relief and general fitness.
Injuries: 2004 ruptured bladder, lower intestine and hernia repaired after BMX handle bar penetrated my lower abdomen | End of 2011 broke transverse process L1 to L4 left-hand side, mild damage to neck and upper back. Was unable to run after this injury and still cannot run pain free. |
Medications: Tampantadol 50mg SR each morning | Duloxitine 90mg daily | Ramaprill 5mg daily | CBD & THC 1000mg each evening |
TRT+: Test E 250mg/ml @ 200mg per week | Primobolan 200mg/ml @ 200mg per week | Anavar @ 25mg daily | Cialis 5mg daily |
On Hand: Arimidex & Aromasin
Supplements:
None - Was thinking about "Chikin Feed" and a Multi V. Thoughts and Ideas?
Cycle:
Injections EOD Sub Q | Orals Daily
Diet: I've no idea - I know that I am in deficit as I'm losing weight and have been since June - Was using ozempic but have this at a low dose of 1mg a week to suppress hunger. Since starting to lose weight I have been eating frozen meals and changed my snack foods to Beef Jerky and Fruit.
Bloods: I do monthly (or at least try to) bloods, pre TRT Testosterone was low at 3 and 58 free T. Likely secondary hypogonadism due to 13 years of prescription opioid use. I don't do recreational drugs and rarely drink these days. E2 is high, but so is my BF%. Only sides I have are low EQ and mild depression at the moment, but bloods are due tomorrow and will action this as needed after the results are back.
Photos: Man, I'm not one for photos - but will give it a good crack to see how I go.
Workout: Still working on this as we keep changing things around.
