First cycle after massive weightloss

scotty0310 · 2026-06-13T21:48:04-0400

Hello all, I'm 47 year old how has been training for the past 5 years. Recently I have concentrated on losing weight. Over 7 months I've lost 88 pounds. Doing so my muscle lose has also been affect. Been taking Retatrutide 8mg week and tesamorelin 2mg per day. I'm now 161 pounds at 178cm tall. So really trying to work out my first cycle to regain lost muscle. My bloods are perfect to go. Open and appreciate any suggestions and recommendations you would follow.
I will be running mot-c along side. My thoughts are 400mg test E ?

Start at 200mg and work up every 6 weeks to gauge your response, results will be good. Easier to add than take awat

Start with trt dose and you will not even need ai.
Try 160mg a wk and see how you feel

welcome to the EVO family

@scotty0310 we need your log started now, at 47 and after dropping 88lbs, nobody should dial in 400 mg test E blind while you are on retatrutide, tesamorelin and MOTS C.
Post your training, food, macros, cardio, sleep, bloods and weekly pics so we can see if the muscle loss is from low food, weak lifts or the wrong cycle plan before you jump in. 15min of your time for EVO family to guide you without guessing

HOW-TO LOG?

Why is a Log Journal important?

Doing a log will actually help you way more than just dropping random updates. When you lay it all out week by week you start to see patterns in your body that you won’t catch otherwise.
Other guys here run logs all the time and there’s no privacy issue, nobody is asking for your name or anything personal, it is just training, diet, and how the compound feels.
The feedback you get is also way better because people can follow along and spot things you might miss. It also helps the next guy who is thinking about running the same compound so you are giving back while you learn.
Even if you think you might not stick with it, just starting the log makes it easier to come back and add quick notes. That way you get more out of what you are running instead of keeping it all in your head.

To really guide you we need more info from you:

Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
It will take 15-20 minutes max.
We have 100s of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
Please post a Log Journal asap for us
