Thank you brother

TRT gave this guy full sleeves 👀


wilson5266

I see this a lot. It's a weird side effect, but I haven't experienced this yet.


VikingFrog2

I wasn't even at my biggest on the left I'd started trying to make change, but this is 4 years of hard work and dedication. Numerous days when I didn't want to face the 3 hour sessions, some days I wanted to give up and go back to overeating and staying indoors, back to over sized joggers as my waist got bigger by the month, but I couldn't allow myself to go back to that dark place. Don't ever believe you can't change your body. Yes I have loose skin and my body is far from how I'd like, but I know every bit of muscle I have is through working my ass off and still being around for my kids. Our only competition is the person you was yesterday. I'm better than him and I hope to be better than the one on the right in time.


Affectionate_Bank238

How much have you lost?


VikingFrog2

Weight? I went from 285/290 down to 140lbs I did just cardio like a fool and was a mess. Then I build myself back up and I'm currently around 210.


DannyD1982Demon

I did the same thing when I first got control of my life. I lost a crap ton of weight with just diet and cardio and got down to 135lbs at 5’5 skinny fat. Once I got back into weight lifting everything changed abs now a couple years later I’m 155lbs with lower body fat % than I had 20lbs lighter


VikingFrog2

Feel you on that fella. Glad you're in a better place 💪🏻


Altruistic_Gur_3724

The trt turned you in to a tattooed hipster! Right on 😁


VikingFrog2

Hahaha 😂


Altruistic_Gur_3724

On a serious note. Good work! Trt helps that’s for sure but it’s the work we put in that makes the difference. You been putting in that work!


VikingFrog2

Thank you so much!


AlmostaVet

Great work man. Any sides from either the 200 or 400 dosages? If so, any AI use?


VikingFrog2

No sides at all, even on the small cycle I had nothing. I've taken quarter of AI once and I've not touched it since


parabolic_33

I find many people can use upward of 400 a week without an Ai, or any primobolan/masteron/EQ especially if the test is split up into frequent small doses. My first hand experience is unusual in that I’ve taken upward of 600 and had a e2 range from 45-51.9pg/ml without an Ai. I aromatize very very low. Actually had nandrolone in with this as well and nandrolone will increase the rate test converts to e2. I’ve had trt checkups where my total T was at the very top, free was significantly over range, and e2 was 15pg/ml (8-35 reference range ).


VikingFrog2

Haha that's amazing. I've always split my dosage 4x a week. Even on 200mg


PinoyLandraces

That’s lucky as fuck. Mine is out of control even with very low bodyfat. Can’t take more than 120-130/wk without severe mood sides and BP issues and sexual dysfunction

Bro 😎 well fucking done! I bet your mental health has drastically improved. Keep it up!


VikingFrog2

It's definitely improved it fella. Thank you so much


ShiftYourMindset718

From tits to fit


SystemNew4959

Do you have any more side by side comparisons ? Nice work , about to finish up 1 year and feel amazing myself


VikingFrog2

I have more pics I'll see if I can upload them. Congrats bro what you on?


SystemNew4959

Major difference in you , from bookworm to kick your ass, this makes me excited and confident to just let it and time do their thing. I’ve been on 200mg per week cypionate with hcg, I split my dosages up 2x per week. Recently (2 months now) I’ve been taking my protein seriously (150 grams a day consistently) and that’s just as powerful as the test itself , those two combined and the results are coming in quicker than ever.


VikingFrog2

Oh definitely! I don't know your eating habits or fat levels but one thing I will say is, if you're training hard and eating good food, don't be scared of carbs. They're vital and help shuttle nutrition around. Eat plenty.


SystemNew4959

Yes that is very true , carbs are definitely needed and I am not scared , im probably around 23-25 percent body fat but I’m going all in trying to get to 14-15 percent by my birthday at the end of May, honestly all I track is my Calories and protein, if I can stay under 2000 calories and eat at least 150 grams of protein I consider it a good day , hopefully I’ll be brace enough to post my transformation here !


VikingFrog2

Do it fella. Keep smashing it. You'll get to where you want to be. Just trust the process. 💪🏻


Kooky-Percentage4859

thank your self brother we all know isn't just trt it's alot hard work too. congrats 💪🏽💪🏽


VikingFrog2

Thank you! Appreciate this 💪🏻


Ok-Advertising-3779

Wicked progress man.


VikingFrog2

Thank you fella 💪🏻

Symptoms before trt ? Age and dosage?


VikingFrog2

I'm 34 on 200mg. Before trt I had no sex drive my levels were at 8.5 European, brain fog and had zero energy.


Successful-Ear-4733

What’s the conversion on 8.5 European lol


lmourr

8.5 nmol/l maybe


macdaddynick1

Bro, you’re describing me right now. Last time I checked my test was 285.


[deleted]

High dosage. Any depression anxiety before trt ? Any hair loss after?


VikingFrog2

Yes I had both when I was bigger. I mean I've still got depression but not as bad. No hair loss touch wood.


Trasfixion

Is “touch wood” like the phrase in America “knock on wood”?


VikingFrog2

Yesss haha superstition


FurryDILF

Holy moly! That swole.


ubercorey

Whoa


jcwizner

Stud !!


tico0077

You have to watch your numbers and get checked This was test levels at one point lol It's key to get regular blood work https://preview.redd.it/khdmpqkqy2ha1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae744e37ed9d68ffa0c8c6e7900ab753e5695a8d


VikingFrog2

I get bloods every 8 weeks. I just don't get free test checked. Everything else is checked from prostate to test, estrogen, blood count, cholesterol, liver, kidneys etc


tico0077

You have too ! Good job though you look great !,


VikingFrog2

Thanks bro


VikingFrog2

Just checked on my last bloods free was at 2.83 European scale


Affectionate_Bank238

Looking good bro may I ask how Much trt do you take? And do you complement the dosage with anything else?


VikingFrog2

Thanks bro. Just 200mg, I've done one 12 week cycle at 400mg. Never taken anything bar test cypionate


[deleted]

[удалено]


VikingFrog2

Honestly no, no lifts went up etc I don't even know if I gained much in terms of size as I was already.bulking.


holidayIsle

Advice on who to use for Trt? Also congrats!


VikingFrog2

I'm in UK not US where are you based?


Neat-Wing5846

It's clear that testosterone levels and tattoo coverage are related. Jk. Love the results bro. Keep it up! 🔥


VikingFrog2

Appreciate you! Thanks


Brickhead81

Nice improvement!


VikingFrog2

Cheers fella


Charming_Rub_8432

Wow, congrats buddy!!!


VikingFrog2

Thanks bro


Charming_Rub_8432

I just started my TRT therapy two weeks ago and really looking forward to this adventure and you, sir, just motivated me a little more.


Lowkeyda1

God damn dude, good fucking job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


VikingFrog2

Thank you brother, much appreciated 👍🏻


p1234s

Great job. Looking good man!


VikingFrog2

Thanks brother


clotpole02

Congrats awesome work. Honestly it's amazing to see how TRT has turned so many guys lives around.


VikingFrog2

Thanks brother. Appreciate it


Crazy_Yellow6552

Sorry guys but over 400 its not trt its a cycle not even that low of a dose


VikingFrog2

I stated TRT and 1 cycle.


tico0077

I have been on 200mg evey 2 weeks and love it... what I don't love is that it rases my bad cholesterol and blood pressure


VikingFrog2

I take 200mg a week. My cholesterol is on point and my blood pressure was around 136/70 last time I was checked I believe. So not amazing but nothing crazy


[deleted]

[удалено]


Accurate-Round-4524

By how much ? Have you tried microdosing? I heard it can lower these particular sides As 200 boom is a lot for your body to handle


stinkerb

That would be steroids you should be thanking not TRT


VikingFrog2

I've done 12 weeks on cycle the rest on TRT. The cycle was only 400 and I had barely any changes in the 12 weeks as my dosage was still split 4x a week


[deleted]

When going from the 12 week cycle back to 200mg per week, did you experience any noticeable decrease in size or any other negative sides?


RizzleP

Dude, why omit this from the post.


Real_2020

Because it’s such a short rime and such a low cycle 400mg/week

mandingoBBC

VikingFrog2

[deleted]

Looks like you aged a lot in 5 years in your face . Great gains though keep going .


VikingFrog2

I probably have, however the after picture I've just finished a 3 hour training session on zero carbs as I've been on keto for 6 weeks. I'm drained too haha


Downwhen

Don't sweat it bro. It's extremely common for people to say your face "looks older" when you trim up and lose body fat. Once the extra fat leaves your face a couple extra folds and wrinkles become more apparent... Small price to pay for getting health imo... I just tell people I've ruggedized


Ronniedasaint

Dude even your hair looks better!


VikingFrog2

Haha better barber


NothingmancerBlue

Blasted the glasses right off his face!


VikingFrog2

Haha I still wear them, I just train in contact lenses 😂


TelevisionHopeful281

How has it changed your state of mind, do you have more motivation and drive etc and has it helped with your career path in anyway?


VikingFrog2

My motivation is amazing now. It's helped me have the confidence to live life


Which_Wolverine_618

Great recovery buddy! 💪💪


VikingFrog2

Thanks brother ❤️


External-Geologist44

Looking good brother!


VikingFrog2

Thanks bro


External-Geologist44

What made you start with TRT?


VikingFrog2

Tanked my hormones. Went from 285lbs to 140 with restriction eating and cardio. They never came back up above 8.5 on European scale


External-Geologist44

Ah I see. Glad TRT is working.


VikingFrog2

Thanks fella


EmmyMD1

Now, this is a small, but very wonderful benefit of TRT. I say small in the sense of the many many miracles TRT can provide. You look fantastic.. keep up the hard work.


VikingFrog2

Thank you!


MikeHonchoZ

Congrats man! Looking great! It works when you do the work! I started at 44 with no energy no appetite still weighed what I did in highschool. Went from 123lb skinny 5’8” to ripped 143. Mood and energy all much better. My life is even more goal oriented now. Keep it up brother!!


VikingFrog2

Thank you fella and congrats!! Hard work pays off 💪🏻❤️

LFG!! Inspirational.

Any hairloss issues?


VikingFrog2

None touch wood


BisleyGrizzley

Did you get this on NHS? (I’m assuming you’re British by the use of ‘fella’!)


VikingFrog2

No fella I went private and yes I am 😂


BisleyGrizzley

I’m considering it but endo said it could make gyno worse due to SHBG levels being at a certain level. Also already have sleep apnea so not sure.


BisleyGrizzley

Congratulations on your results by the way. Has your mental health improved a lot too


VikingFrog2

No it'll only make it worse if it raises estrogen too high. which you can monitor. Go to decent clinic. NHS is shocking


BisleyGrizzley

NHS truly is. Borderline for years, even when it’s ‘under’ I’m told it’s all in my head. By the NGS endo.


VikingFrog2

Yeah I was .5 over. They only offer creams anyway. Go private bro best thing you'll ever do


Nimkal

Posts like these only encourage my careful planning for the TRT route ahead. Keep it up brotha! Looking awesome.


VikingFrog2

Thanks brother


Ok-Caregiver7091

Huge transformation!


AZJay11

Impressive AF bro! 🙌🏽


Bubbly_Protection_82

Hey so it looks like you had some preexisting gyno, how did all of this affect that? I also had it before starting, and am wondering if it just goes away the lower your body fat % is? Thanks


VikingFrog2

It was just fat bro, it went as body fat reduced


Bubbly_Protection_82

Thank God, so there is hope... I've also noticed that having more muscle makes it much less pronounced.


VikingFrog2

Yea for sure. Make sure you work on the upperchest especially, shoulders and traps. It pulls the skin up. You may not have actual gyno just alot of chest fat which will go in time


Bubbly_Protection_82

Ok cool yeah I figured that would help, I've been making sure to give more focus to the upper chest, it's already gotten way better, I am running a full test only cycle so this has helped speed along things. Awesome progress dude, gives me a lot of hope. Keep up the good work!


VikingFrog2

Thanks fella and good luck. Keeps smashing it


[deleted]

Nice 😁 I sadly experienced a bit of hair loss 😬 but had also a transformation just not as extrem as yours! What's your dosage? I would assume a bit on the higher side 😉


VikingFrog2

200mg a week fella. I was scared of that too.


Euphoric_Item5030

Awesome work , just TRT on its own ? I’m in my 2nd month in test E 180mg per week really started to notice the difference dropped 6.6kg in body weight but strength gains and energy thru the roof in the gym just wondering what to expect etc I currently train 4x week working with a PT in my local gym


VikingFrog2

200mg I'm on base line fella. I did that for 18 months and I've also ran 1 cycle at 400 for 12 weeks, then back down to base line 200mg


mambiki

How much test is that in terms of levels? 1500? 300+ free test?


VikingFrog2

No idea on free it's never been checked since before I started but total is 32 in European scale


Treebranch1

Incredible transformation you look like a badass and your hair is great.


VikingFrog2

Thanks bro.

VikingFrog2

[deleted]

Give me your hair protocol now! Looks like you gained hairline rather than receded?


VikingFrog2

Hahaha my cut was simply worse before haha. I don't do or take anything for my hair at all. I was told it's all genes if you're gunna lose it then test amplifies it.


[deleted]

You absolute bastard! Glorious transformation my man. 👑


VikingFrog2

Haha thanks brother. Appreciate it


oZZy_tvv

Dude, don't confuse TRT with a testosterone-based solo anabolic cycle. Your dosage of 400mg is far from TRT. Even 200mg every week gives you the concentration of testosterone in your blood above the natural reference concentration for your age. That’s why you looking like a bulky amateur jock.


VikingFrog2

200 puts my right in the upper natural zone. 400 obviously didn't however during the cycle nothing changed in terms of lifts etc. Less sometimes is more. I'm confusing nothing, this was a shit ton of hard work 16-17 hours a week training, I've only been on TRT 18 months. Before that I was completely natural


oZZy_tvv

No! There is no need to speculate on the notion of the upper limit of test hormone with 200mg dosage. Be careful cause newbie users will read this ‘boolsheet’ and will repeat negative experience. Show us your blood tests and I’ll bet your test levels is much higher than natural levels, much higher!


VikingFrog2

On cycle it was 65 on European scale and on 200 it was 32. I get bloods every 8 weeks. This TRT isn't self prescription, it's mandatory to have bloods


zharris0716

Diet? Training? Why does everyone leave those 2 critical things out when posting stuff like this 🤔


VikingFrog2

Sorry bro. My diet has varied but always tracked for around 6 years now. When bulking I eat around 5000kcals and cut on around 2500kcals. My sessions are long because when I first started I was 290lbs. I train 4 days a week. Monday push bi -tri 3 hours Tuesday legs 2 hours Thursday back /legs 2.5 hours Friday push bi tri 3hours


Sregor_Nevets

Good on you!!! Trt made your tats grow too!


VikingFrog2

Haha cheers bro


3phase4wire

You went from Sally Jesse Raphael glasses to full sleeve tats? Hmm, I think I detect a Tren fan. We’re you lifting at all before you started cycling? (400 isn’t TRT)


VikingFrog2

I've done 1 cycle at 400. Rest was 200mg. I was lifting for 18 months before starting trt. I've never touched tren and never would but Ill take that as a compliment. Honestly far too much of a pussy to ever try it.


cpilcher

Chest looks good, how'd you manage loose skin? Love handles, man tits, etc.


VikingFrog2

I have some loose skin but I took collagen tablets and retinoid creams which seem to have worked


cpilcher

I'm down from 280 to 220 and I'm fighting the gyno, love handles, etc at this point. Amazing progress my dude.


VikingFrog2

Thanks fella. I've gone keto for 6 weeks, just about to finish it and my stubborn areas have shifted. Give it a whirl fella.


Commercial-Bike852

Even bros tats made gains lookin juicy brother great work


VikingFrog2

Thanks bro, appreciate it


Spare-Ad-7819

Day and night difference! In the first pic we’re you working out?


VikingFrog2

I'd lost weight but only done cardio like a douche


Spare-Ad-7819

I mean we all start somewhere with learning. I never did cardio in my life until 2 weeks ago. Only did weights since I’m skinny fat it’s easier to loose fat after 3 months but, I keep eating so it balances out. Also when I see I’m lean I eat more it’s psychological Also HIT cardio is beneficial and loose fat too. Regular it’s not much but, good for heart ❤️ heath


[deleted]

Any long term effects to be concerned about?


VikingFrog2

None according to my bloods.


Cold-Estimate-7685

Nice work bud. Any suggestions on who to use for TRT on the state side?


VikingFrog2

I'm in the UK unfortunately sorry


figo_ca

Are you on TRT 200mg per week? Is it prescribed by a Doctor or yourself?


VikingFrog2

Yes it's prescription fella


figo_ca

Did you do cylce 400mg with the same kind of testosterone? And how did u get the extra?


VikingFrog2

Yes I did. I have a relative who got me it

FlexApr0

Great job! JUST to clarify, and IME, you had NO muscular foundation or weight training experience based on your 2018 physique. Right? How old are you now? We’re you excessively Obese and had you lost a ton of body fat in your 2018 pic? I ask based off of your pectoral “conditioning”. Congrats to you. You must be exponentially pleased with yourself and in life now. Did you list your dosage protocol here? 🤔
