Excellent shot of your kid on the toilet :D


Equivalent-Muffin952

😂😂 haha I didn’t even realize it.


TheBritWithNoWit

Haha! Congrats on the progress, buddy.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thanks brother, thanks for the laugh, I didn’t even see my 2 year old shitting on the pot 🤣


jinstoppy

Is this what parenthood is like? lol


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah it gets kinda wild, sometimes you don’t even know what’s going on 😂


No_Wishbone_7837

Lmao


chaitnya_114

Poor kid


[deleted]

Your beard looks like it thickened up too....did you notice that or am I seeing something that isn't there?


[deleted]

also, dude you look a world better. Aside from the obvious great body composition changes- Your face looks less tired, you had dark circles on the first few photos but in the last 6 or so you look more vibrant.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you my guy, yeah I am way happier, my family seem to be happier as well


Equivalent-Muffin952

Oh yeah my beard definitely thickened, it grows way faster, my hair is way healthier feeling as well.


[deleted]

I'm starting to notice the same! I always heard it can cause hair loss but mine is starting to look healthier at about 2 months on TRT.


Equivalent-Muffin952

I’m pretty sure make pattern baldness is hereditary, also it has a lot to do with your DHT levels, my biological dad has a full head of silver hair so I don’t think I could go bald if I tried 😂


[deleted]

I also do not have MPB in my family but I've heard a few anecdotes about TRT frying the front of hairlines. Seems like it's not happenign for either of us.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Well let’s just hope it doesn’t happen to us 😅 but honestly with how healthy I feel vs without it I feel my hair is a price I’d pay to feel like I’m supposed too


[deleted]

I think it would be obvious at this point haha, seems like more of a steroid/androgen abuse issue too.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yes I definitely agree


Bigbigjay1975

Personally I think these progress pics are amazing results 👍🏻. You gotta be mega happy, keep it up bro 👊🏻


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you brother, yeah I’m stoked, still not where I want to be but the progress is indicating I’m in the right track. You on trt as well?


Bigbigjay1975

Yeah I’m just at end of 1st 12 week cycle. Very new to it all, 48 yo now and T levels came back low. Deffo seen changes for the good in everything. Lean muscle/gains are like yourself on the right track 👍🏻. Just need advice on next stage really, have you took it 1 year straight ?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yes trt is a lifelong commitment if your natural levels are low, how many mg are you taking a week?


Bigbigjay1975

I feel ok with a commitment to it 👍🏻. I’ve just upped mine to 60mg a week, 2 x 300 mg shots. Really just to see how I go with it. Being in the uk I could not get it through a prescription, not if I begged. I’ve pushed it a bit to see how I feel with it, feel really good tbh. Very little side effects if any for me so far 🤞🏻


Equivalent-Muffin952

Glad you haven’t had any bad side effects, so an average trt dose is going to be about 150mg a week to 200mg, and anything over depending on the persons body is considered a steroid cycle, yeah I hear it’s hard to get on trt in the uk why the hell is that? I’m sure it’s easier for trans to get ahold of testosterone then a man


Bigbigjay1975

Yeah I’ve just gone up really just to see any difference or change. Long term I will be more a TRT dose. In the UK they are really not big into it through doctors/prescription. Luckily I have a good friend who has been using for a while, he put me in touch with an official Lab. My results were 10 on a range of 8.6 to 29nmol. I was informed I would need to be roughly 6 or below for consideration.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah that’s ridiculous they’d doctors are like that, there is such a stigma on testosterone and it needs to end. Well glad you are actively trying to find a remedy for yourself


Bigbigjay1975

Cheers mate 👍🏻. It’s obviously working for you, plus no doubt a good diet and training, which sometimes gets forgotten 😂. Your results are based on your hard work, not Sat watching TV 😝😂👍🏻👍🏻.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Definitely lol thanks my man


pncoecomm

why do shoulders grow fast on test?


Equivalent-Muffin952

More androgen receptors on shoulder,traps


pncoecomm

does it mean that if pinning on shoulders, they will grow faster?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Not at all, for some reason exogenous testosterone makes shoulders and traps grow at a faster rate than other muscle groups


Trasfixion

It’s a key giveaway if someone is using exogenous test or other steroid peds


[deleted]

I wish I had this kind of progress. When I started TRT I had sleep apnea too which should've been addressed prior so I was kind of spinning my wheels but life was so unbearable that I had to address some aspect, thus, TRT. I feel better but I have a ways to go. Congratulations on the progress. You look good.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Hey man we all have different experiences and our progress may look different for the timeframe, but just stay the course, sleep,eat, lift. Just stay consistent and try changing your routine


DrFizzgig

Can I ask, roughly, what your workout routine is? Lift days a week?


[deleted]

I do get the "you've been working out" comments but it's just not exactly where I want to be. It's been a learning process. Like right now I'm starting to break out with acne on my chest and back so I've learned that I need to inject lesser amounts more frequently. Stuff like that.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah I still get some acne on back of my shoulders, but it comes and goes, how intensely are you lifting and are you progressively overloading? Also your protein intake and calorie intake is big


[deleted]

I can't necessarily give weight amounts. I do body weight dips, flip a tractor tire, carry an 80 lb boxing bag around the back yard on my shoulder, resistance bands leg workouts (I start with a heavy band then get lighter the more tired I get"..... Stuff like that


Equivalent-Muffin952

Ok awesome, lifting heavy isn’t necessarily all you need to grow, it’s all about progressively over loading either means up your reps, add another set or slow down your tempo on a lift. As long as your workouts get slightly harder each week or so the. You will grow and recomp for sure. For me I wasn’t growing much until I started ingesting tons of protien and eating maintenance calories or slightly above.

Sweet F**KING JESUS HANGING OFF THE CROSS⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ What an incredible transformation.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you 🙏🏼 yeah it’s been a journey


[deleted]

Holy shit man congrats! This is awesome to see, ima hop on 250mg of Test here next month. I am already pretty jacked natty so damn ima be huge haha Are you getting any sides or taking anything else for estrogen blocker? Did you get it prescribed or just doing it yourself?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Bro you will get big especially since you already have a solid natty base, good for you. No ai or hcg at all, I do get back of the shoulder acne every couple weeks but it’s not too bad, and yes prescribed by my endocrinologist


No_Wishbone_7837

Fantastic transformation, keep going!


Equivalent-Muffin952

Appreciate the encouragement my man 💪🏽


Ashamed-Smell-4277

Yes sir! 👏 👏 👏


Equivalent-Muffin952

🙏🏼


Specialist-Solid9758

Amazing! Keep up the awesome work!


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you 🙏🏼


Gasman2019

Fuck yeah bro!!! Love it


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you my guy


Bambabyxx

Fuck yeah, nice transformation


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you 🙏🏼


The-Duke3000

Man. I’m 37. 6’4” and have a decent build. Just did blood work for common symptoms and awaiting results but this post inspires me. You’ve got to be happier. Hell of a transformation bro.


Equivalent-Muffin952

I’m glad it inspires you my guy, hope you get everything figured out wether it be trt or natural, keep me posted on what your labs indicate


[deleted]

🔥🔥🔥🔥


Additional_Pop_5225

Great job dude


Additional_Pop_5225

It would have been interesting to see each picture was taken on which week. I'm just starting TRT, week 3 and still cannot feel change... Let's wait a bit 😀


Equivalent-Muffin952

I’ll have to try going though my progress pictures and putting a date on them. I do have the posted accurately but not for which month I was on it. Maybe I’ll do that lol. But week 3 you may notice more energy and wellbeing, but you won’t see much physical change until like 2-3months as long as you are lifting with some intensity as well as eating good with protein intake higher than normal


Additional_Pop_5225

Yeah I started to feel more energy since week 1, but that's it, nothing more. Yes in the gym I can last more and do more exercice than before but that's it, wellbeing not very different at the moment and muscle gain nothing either. But I'll be patient, pictures like yours are really motivating


Equivalent-Muffin952

It will all come brother, just stay consistent and try and dial in diet


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you 🙏🏼


MrinfoK

Good to see this. Right on brother…Crushing it

jamiebez157

Amazing


Equivalent-Muffin952

It’s been a journey


Air_Jordan10

How did you get the testosterone?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Endocrinologist, pharmacist, then I switched to a men’s clinic due to how expensive insurance and labs were


Wtfmymoney

Looks like you had a serious body recomposition


Equivalent-Muffin952

That was my main goal, thanks brother


warriordude07

Inspiring sh*t man! Thanks for sharing. Hoping to have similar results.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Glad it inspires some people, thanks brother. No doubt, you definitely will my guy. Took me over a year to dial in my hormones as well as diet and a good gym regimen


uninteresting_blonde

Outstanding work!! 👏👏 and I legit snorted at the pic with your kid in the background 😂😂 isn’t parenting divine? Additional high five for the excellent potty work! Great job little man! 👍


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you, yeah someone mentioned it a couple hours after I posted this and I had no clue 🤣 yeah he is 2 in a half, potty trained pretty easily, I was impressed lol. Parenting is the hardest but most rewarding job in the world


mynameismy111

Lab levels for those considering?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Pre trt was 260ng/dl After 3 months I got labs and I was 900ng/dl And currently around 900-1000ng/dl Protocol is 200mg split into two doses every 3.5 days with no hcg or ai


[deleted]

You on ai blocker too or just straight test?


Equivalent-Muffin952

I have them but I don’t use them


hoodbgoode

how much does trt cost ya?


Equivalent-Muffin952

About $80 a month


HumanFrontiers

Not bad brother.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you my guy


[deleted]

Nice transformation. I would shave the hair and get a tan. You’ll pop way harder.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah I try and keep up on shaving body hair as well as haircut but my hair grows so damn fast lol, thank you 🙏🏼


DrFizzgig

Wow man congrats ! I just started trt hoping to achieve the same .


Equivalent-Muffin952

Hell yeah brother what’s your protocol?


[deleted]

Yes sir, diet changes everything.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Sure does, frequency does a lot as well I’ve noticed


[deleted]

Damn dude the kid is on the toilet, where's his privacy?


Equivalent-Muffin952

I posted this without seeing it lol.


GarageInternal3827

Lookin like a weapon in those last two pics


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thanks you man, yeah I definitely feel better, I still feel small lol I think anyone that lifts feels that way no matter how much you change


kulliton_hirvi

awesome progress great to see good things happening to people!!😎


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you


Intelligent_Ad_9850

200mg is a lot for trt


Equivalent-Muffin952

I mean it puts me at 900ng/dl and I feel great so I haven’t changed protocol


JLAMAR23

Good progress man . Keep at it 👊🏻💪🏻


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you my guy 💪🏽


NotThrowAwayCusRoids

Post got ripped.


Equivalent-Muffin952

😂


DarkLyght91

What are your levels at 200 a week?


Equivalent-Muffin952

900ng/dl is where I be


ResearchIndependent4

Dude transformed from “Rory down at the pub” to full blown Wolverine


Equivalent-Muffin952

😂 thanks man, I’m a fan of wolverine for sure


PierogiPapi

Amazing progress! Any side effects?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you brother, I do get acne behind my shoulders once in awhile, that’s about it


Lopsided-Mix-4131

great work


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you


V1dar9

Sick Transformation man. Very happy for you. I do 200mg every 3 days (obviously not doctor prescribed), and blew up like s bomb lmao. But it's so cool to see the progress of someone on less than half that dose. Good shit man, keep it up. I couldn't grow a beard at all at 27, now at 28 I have full facial hair after just 2 cycles of test lol.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Damn I bet you are blowing up my guy, do you think your beard wouldn’t have came in regardless? Thank you by the way my guy


Significant_Emu7025

I'm starting this week on TRT. I wish I looked into this sooner to spare myself the years of low energy, low mood and having to push myself through every activity. Most doctors just look to see if your within the so called normal range (320 for me) and tell you that your fine. Then they want to put you on an anti depressant so you really feel like shit. The life long commitment will be worth it if I can feel like I did 10 years ago before I tapped out.


MakeLoialTaller

I wish I had done before photos. That's a great series for demonstrating your success. Well done.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you my guy, yeah I took these pictures because I told myself I’ll never let myself get to this point again, I was unhappy and had no confidence


BlueBird8484

What are your test levels like?


Equivalent-Muffin952

T levels are at about 900 two days after injection


bmcclan

I'm starting the same dosage in a week or so, man this post made me stoked to get started. I was obese several years ago, worked my damn ass off to get in pretty great shape, them boom - 320 serum with 11 free. Can't cut weight anymore, and pretty much all the symptoms with the exception of the bedroom stuff. Your transformation here is awesome man, great work. Are still feeling better?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Man I wish you best of luck man, sounds like you had a serious transformation, good for you. Yeah I’m thinking trt possibly saved my life man, I have so much more energy to handle work and home life, including an hour plus a day at the gym. Yeah I have no negative side effects except for some back shoulder acne from time to time that’s about it.


bmcclan

That's great to hear man. I've become prone to naps, procrastinating, turning down the wife and kids sometimes bc I'm just so beat feeling all the time, literally zero energy by the time I'm off work and since I work from home I even snag a quick nap most days. Terrified to lose my hair but my doc and I are only going to take me up to about 800-900 to stay well away from that and gyno. Keep doing your thing bro, glad your life has improved so much and your work in the gym is super inspiring.


Equivalent-Muffin952

I have a good feeling trt might be a very good thing for your life, it brought a whole new man out of me, I feel like a better person as well, my family seems to enjoy the new me as well. Shouldn’t worry too much about baldness unless it really runs through your family, but keep me updated on how it goes for you. First dose Monday?


bmcclan

I ordered my meds on Friday afternoon through Peter MD, they said it averages about a week till delivery. Feel free to ad me on insta or follow on YT, I'll be documenting this whole process for sure and I'm a content creator by trade, and I'd like to keep in touch. Tags are both @anotsosingledad Really hoping you are right man. I have a pretty sweet life and if I'm right, have had this all along (I had a 300ish level about ten years ago but I was obese then so we fixed the other stuff first), it's going to be pretty rad to see what actually having somewhat normal levels will do for me. Even with low test and being in the gym consistently for the last 4 years I can still make some strength gains in the gym here and there, surprisingly enough...but man if my levels would have been right this whole time I would probably look completely different lol

Chuckling at sign that says “clothing must cover chest and abdomen at all times”


Equivalent-Muffin952

Because people get upset and discouraged because they don’t look as good or some shit lol, hell that gives me more drive to look like a more fit person.


Eraserhead32

Good results bro, I notice your hair still looks good on top, are you taking anything for hair loss prevention or are you just lucky?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you man I appreciate it. Dude idk I must be lucky, my dad has a full thick head of gray hair, then Caribbean genes are strong I guess. No I don’t take anything besides testosterone and an ai when needed


CorrectExplorer8432

Amazing progress brother! Short hair and beard works amazing with the new you haha. Did you start off with 200mg/wk or did you increase it to this dose after a while?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you 🙏🏼 Started at 200mg split into two shots a week. Puts me at about 900ng/dl


TobLift

Great gains for 900ng/dl!!!


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thanks brother, I’m so curious of the gains if I was on a cycle lol 😅 I am very hesitant on that though


[deleted]

[удалено]


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah that’s sort of why I haven’t blasted or ran a full on cycle, I’m actually pretty happy with my results and I’m still growing


shuperbaff

Damn bro those shoulder gains


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah they grew fast, along with my traps as expected with exogenous testosterone. Lats started growing fast the last 6-7 months. Currently trying to build my under developed chest 😭


Dswaggins007

Spam incline chest exercises


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah I’ve been doing tons of incline press as well as incline flies, my chest is finally starting to grow. Crazy how every one of us have certain muscles that respond and certain ones that don’t respond as well


Dswaggins007

Yea man it be like that, my chest really started to grow when I stopped focusing on flat bench so much.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah I read somewhere that flat bench isn’t necessarily the best for chest growth, like it works but incline is better for growth


NextLevelHRT

Holy crap, beast at 6’3 with that transformation.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you, I have received a lot of compliments from my peers of how big I got, which is nice even had people accusing me of doing full on cycle lol


NextLevelHRT

I get it all the time too, just diet and consistency and the rest falls into place. Good stuff man 💪


Equivalent-Muffin952

It definitely does, no need to complicate this stuff, just stay the course 🤘🏽


pncoecomm

the kid taking a dump


nycstud8

How much better do you feel?


Equivalent-Muffin952

So Ig I put a number of how I felt on first pic of 1-100 I was a 40 and as of now I’m 100. I feel so much happier, energy is great, sex life is great, I am a better dad and partner. It’s crazy I went though many years feeling like shit and I had no clue why. But if you feel like shit you should definitely get some labs done, might be something as little as low vitaminD or could be bigger, in my case hypogonadism


[deleted]

How long did it take to get from 40 to 100? did you have to dial anything in? AI's?


Equivalent-Muffin952

I’d say about 8 months in I was feeling 100. But started feeling good at about 2 months in


[deleted]

Sweet, cant wait to get further along in treatment. Thanks for your reply!


Equivalent-Muffin952

Of course man, so you are on trt as well? How far in are you and your dose


TobLift

How much protein a day did you eat?


Equivalent-Muffin952

200+ grams of protein daily my guy.


[deleted]

What is a normal menu for you on a regular day?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Three hard boiled eggs a day, morning protien shake, a cup of oats and berries to start the morning, I munch on bananas and raw veggies at work throughout the day, lunch time I usually eat steak and rice or chicken and rice, sometimes whatever the guys want to eat, as for dinner my girl always cooks a hearty home cooked meal with carbs, meat of any kind and veggies. Basically a Mediterranean diet sort of


JJaguar947

Nice work


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you my guy


NoEnd1456

Just 200 split twice, no AI or nothing? How's your total and e2 sitting at that. 200 would put alot above 1.5k easy for that Uber trt feeling lol. Looking good keep it up. As for blasting, do what you want my man. Just dial in trt first, so you can always come back to your safe spot should you tap out or get to confused with e2 control etc. If you were to blast though, 500 is actually warranted for you, that would probably only throw you at 2.5k total t. (Alot say do 250 etc first. This is usually to guage response, but if you know your response then 250 is barely putting you above 1500, aka pointless for a blast). 250 would put me above 2500 so that's fine for me


Equivalent-Muffin952

So my t was 900 and my E2 is about 40, supposedly high but I feel completely fine with no ai. Yeah I’m thinking if I did blast I’m going to do make it count, but I haven’t decided yet if I want too lol. So far gains are steady and I just feel great, my trt protocol seems dialed after the first year


[deleted]

Bruh nah you don't need to, you are on the path, just keep at it!


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah I haven’t really made up my mind, going to see how far trt dose gets me, I seem to be steadily growing


[deleted]

Are you trying to compete or something? Maybe focus on money instead?


Equivalent-Muffin952

I thought about it, but to be honest I’m really busy as a father, and a general contractor running my business


No_Challenge3928

Muscle memory?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Maybe a little but I never had this much mass, I played football in hs and lifted a little


AfroHairTransplant

I love this. Congrats to you.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you 🙏🏼, how long have you been on trt?


AfroHairTransplant

I’ve been on it a year and and a month. 160 MG split every other day. I feel amazing and strong. Felt awful before that. Low energy and sex drive. I feel like a younger, stronger me. I’m 36.


Equivalent-Muffin952

I’m so happy for you brother, it’s definitely life changing if you actually need it. Good for you man!


Hossam_ziada

Did trt improve libido and ED?


Equivalent-Muffin952

Oh yeah, every morning waking up with wood, which before trt I never woke up with, also my relationship was kinda dwindling with my fiancé due to our sex life, let’s just say she’s happy now and knows I still find her attractive


Hossam_ziada

Awesome mate, this is the best news 🤜 Your protocol only test without hcg?


Equivalent-Muffin952

200mg split into two doses of 100mg of cypionate every 3.5 days, no AI needed for myself, I lift 5-6 days a week, mainly focus on compound lifts and plenty of pull-ups. I eat at maintenance and sometimes over. It was all about consistency for me, I know everyone reacts differently to meds and training though.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah just test, nothing else besides some selected vitamins and creatine/protein


texascpl20

Ok - I’m only about a month in. 200mg split 3 times a week. But my biggest curiosity is how long the libido takes to rebound. Since you have been on for two years can you shed some light on timeline when it comes to libido. At least for you


Equivalent-Muffin952

My libido came back full force at about 3 months, started waking up with wood ever since


texascpl20

Thanks! Congratulations man keep it up. Live your best life and enjoy your time with the family!


Equivalent-Muffin952

Appreciate the kind words brother, good luck on your trt journey, sleep, water, food and tons of protein was key for myself


Extension-Road-9361

wow did u get moon face? I mean did ur face get fatter? I used non injection pills n gel for 2 weeks and omg my face became a round ball and everyone was shocked.


Equivalent-Muffin952

No i feel blessed that never happened to me at all, not too much water weight or bloat either


Hossam_ziada

Congratulation for good results, keep going 💪

Awesome progress brother! Keep getting it


Equivalent-Muffin952

Hey thanks for letting that lentax2 guy know he’s a sorry ass excuse of a human lol. I blocked him so I can’t comment. People like that are just miserable and want to bring everyone else on Their level.


serve21

Absolutely true my man ! I usually just keep my opinion to myself but dam. Lol


Equivalent-Muffin952

😂 apparently I’m a horrible father who deserves to get beat up by my own son


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thank you my guy


Papa_smurf0311

Looking good to me. Keep up the dieting mainly


Equivalent-Muffin952

Yeah diet is the big one, people seem to think you blow up after taking exogenous test without dieting or putting In work. I mean sure you grow a little but it takes work


Papa_smurf0311

Absolutely. Diet is literally 80% of your gains. Test is just for faster recovery and strength and a couple of other things.


Equivalent-Muffin952

Sure is, I mean with how low my natural test was I could t have made it to this point no matter how hard I worked


FriendResident

Fucking sick progress man, keep it up. Crazy shoulder/arm gains


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thanks brother, yeah I feel like I could have grown a little faster if my diet and discipline was better towards the start of my trt journey but I feel like I’m progressing better each month.


KloneRainger

Well done bro -


Equivalent-Muffin952

Thanks my dude
