Hello, I'm new to group. Been on trt for a year starting at 140mg a week test cyp, then went to 180mg, and switched to a different clinic who offers more than trt. You can say trt+. I went to 200mg a week and got nandralone prescription (deca) at 100mg weekly. This week I was able to up my testosterone prescription to 300mg along with the deca. All blood work is spot on. I have 0 water retention right now joints never felt better. Im currently at 15% body fat, 190lbs. Want to get to at least 200lbs without gaining fat. Im in 250-300 calorie surplus. Should I proceed in what im doing or add anything else? Thanks
I was steadily gaining weight/muscle but have stalled. Waist and mid section have tightened up during this stall and im gaining muscle but not the weight. I got up to 197lbs then down to 187lbs in a week. I maintained my calorie intake so Im guessing Im in recomp. I workout 5 days a week and track calories/macros religiously. I intake 212g of protein minimum daily. Not trying to be a mass monster just trying to get to 200lbs by June/July. After I retired from the Army i blew up to 275lbs and started my weight loss journey in September of 2024. At 56 years old I feel better than ever, but besides my wife helping with my meal prep, Ive done work out plan and figured out calories and macros on my own with good progress. But this is still kind of new to me, so if this a recomp im in right now Im good, if Im in a stall Im looking on advice or tips to progress out of it. Do I stay the course or adjust.
welcome to the EVO family
@edavila69 you look good in the pic, strong base

Youโre changing doses and adding deca while chasing a tight timeline, so a log is mandatory!
300mg test + 100mg nandrolone can move the needle, but the scale swing from 197 to 187 in a week is almost all water, glycogen, and food volume, and without your day to day data we canโt tell if youโre truly in surplus or just fluctuating.
Start a TRT log today with ed morning bodyweight, waist, calories and macros, steps, sleep, training weights, BP, and your exact pin days.
Post your full labs too so the EVO family can support you and dial the plan to hit 200 lbs without adding fat instead of guessing. 15min of your time to start
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 wonโt catch otherwise.
- Other guys here run logs all the time and thereโs 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
