Approved Log First TRT Journal

[Paskgaud]

Hello EVO people !!

This is my first log here.
I'm 36, 5"7, 150lbs, 10%BF
Training for 15 years, but on and off for the first 10 years.
I've done some cycles a couple years ago. I was misguided, so I made some really bad choices, and I ended up 3 months in the hospital because of suicidal attempt and kidney failures. Pretty brutal ahaha

Well after that, we discovered that my body wasn't producing testosterone anymore. So I started taking TRT prescribed by a doctor, and having bloodworks every 2-3 months.

I started TRT with Test cyp 100mg/week. We increased the dose until 150mg/week but I had some shitty side effects from high E2. So we've decided to decreased my T dosage until my E2 was low enough and not having E2 side effects.

I'm now at 25mg EOD Test cyp (pharma grade). I know it's low, but I'm tired of high E2 side effects, I don't want to take AI anymore because it's more side effects. With that dose, I feel great, good energy, feel strong in the gym. These are my last bloodwork results:
Total Test: 23.1 nmol/L
Oestradiol: < 88 pmol/L
SHBG: 17 nmol/L
LH and FSH: 0

The only problem is my balls has disappered. I know some people having a little shrikage, but mine almost completely disappeared. I've tried HCG prescribed by my doctor, but HCG was too estrogenic for me so I had to stop it. I was trying to find some Enclomiphene, but my Doctor never prescribed it and I think it's not available in Canada !?!?

Training and diet
Workout 4days/week PPL
Caloric deficit of 2100 cal/day
175gr protein and the rest is divided between carbs and fat.

So this is it, let me know if I forgot something. And please, I've been on these forums for years, I don't wanna hear people telling me my T dose is weak and that I'm doing everything wrong. It took me 2 years to finally get a dose that I'm confortable with, my goal is not to be huge, I just want to continue build muscle with a TRT dose that doesn't send me back to the hospital for a second time ....

Thanks

Ps. Sorry for the mistakes, english is not my main language

No hate because you have a solid base with some clear muscle - but how did you come to 10% body fat?

My coach takes my BF skin folds.
Usually it's pretty accurate but it's always different from coachs to coachs ...

Dexa scan, have you tried it?

I never tried it, I thought you need some kind of doctor prescription for it

Good pic share, you're fairly lean in the pic, but around 12-15% bodyfat imo @Paskgaud not far from 10%.

The balls issue, lets get some hcgenerate for you to start.

Diet, Training, Cardio
Diet, please share foods and meals and when you eat them, macros would be good
Training, please share actual exercises reps sets and weights, as you go especially get stronger
cardio how much do you do? when etc
If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Or use an app like myfitness pal or cronometer. Very easy.

supplements
Are you taking high doses Vitamin C?
what digestive supps you use?
digestive enzymes?
multis?
probiotics?
psyllium husk?
