Hello everyone I am here to start my log of my TRT journey. I am from Australia and I'm 31 years old. I started lifting at 15 pretty seriously untill about 23 where I bailed off my diet and lifting and spent too much time drinking and partying. I still went to the gym sporadically but not regularly. I started to get back into lifting properly about 2 years ago.
After a few blood tests and comparing them to previous tests I was sick of feeling tired and having my test levels in the mid 200s. I went to a specialist to start my testosterone replacement therapy. I have done my first 12 weeks of 250ml/week and I am feeling great. My lifting has improved and I am losing weight again. My current goal is to continue losing weight over the next 4 months and dial in my dieting. After that I would like to start my first compound cycle with a higher dosage of test.
I am currently 143kg and 187cm tall. The goal was to aim for 140kg standing press, I am currently 10kg away from this but I am uncomfortable with being this heavy and it is affecting my BP and sleep.
Currently down 7kg. Daily BP is currently 130-135/80-85
Training:
Mon: shoulders and triceps
Tue: legs and biceps
Wed: rest/sauna
Thur: chest and triceps
Fri: back and bis
Sat: legs/cardio ( only recently added a 2nd leg day)
Sun: rest
Supplements:
Test E - 250ml/week
5 tablets of fish oil 1000mg
5g of creatine
1 tablet genetix men multi vitamin
1 tablet Milk thistle 500mg
1 tablet Tudca 250mg
1 tablet Grape seed extract
Magnesium 800mg and zinc 25mg
Calcium 1000mg and D3 15mcg
10mg cialsis pre gym
40mg of telmisartan (only 2 weeks in, hoping to come off once weigh is back in line)
Food:
Drinks are either black coffee no sugar, water or zero sugar drinks.
Breakfast is usually 4 eggs, 2 toast or 1 roll with 1 piece of cheese or 3x weetbix with 25g whey and yopro 15g yoghurt
Snack: 50g whey 100g oats or 300g protien yoghurt
Lunch/pre gym: 2 x steamed red Thai curry fish and 200g rice
Apple on the way to gym after my pre workout.
Post workout shake 50g protien - 260 cals
Dinner: chicken and 150g rice + steamed veg or whatever the girlfriend is making.
Problems:
Avoiding snacks, I work where there is unlimited access to snacks. Trying to dial in the discipline on this.
Thank you for taking your time to read about my journey.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
