Just wanted to give an update on how the 300 test per week is doing.

It didn’t take long for me to notice it, maybe a month. As expected, nothing crazy but slow and steady progress. Sex drive went up a good amount though, has come back down some but still up. My wife doesn’t mind. Mood overall is better for sure. Estrogen does have to be managed a little, just going off feel. 1-2 mg anastrozole per week keeps in check. Sad part is, I feel the best when estrogen gets too high, my libido is good, even better I’d say with high estrogen, but the nips get puffy and overly sensitive. That’s if I go a few weeks with no anastrozole. I was seeing if I could get away with none.

Bloods will be drawn next month to see how I’m doing on it, but I suspect just fine. Blood pressure is doing great and sleep Is great, weight gain seems to have stalled, however I am still getting stronger. Maybe I’m in a slightly recomping, not sure yet.

calories are becoming a struggle just as they did even on just trt dose after a while of pushing a bulk. Even adding in plenty of liquid calories, I struggle at the 4500 calorie mark which is where I am now. A crazy problem I knew some had, but until the last few years, not one I thought I’d ever have. So I’m sure that explains the stalled weight gain. BUT, I also would not expect to gain tons at this dose anyway.

32 inch pants fit still, sometimes they feel tight but it’s more a constant bloat because if I have a day I eat low calorie, they go right back to fitting maybe a bit more snug than at 205-210 mark, but nothing crazy.

U doing cardio?
Minimum. I do 40 yard sprints 2-3 times a week but don’t mention it really. I try to keep a 5 second 40 as a goal. I do 5 sprints and that’s it each time.

By nature of my job, I always hit 10k-15k steps in a day, and on extreme days I’ve hit 25k steps. So I stay moving and count that as my liss.

As far in the treadmill, no rarely do I. Occasionally I run a mile
Just to make sure I still can 😂. I always can but have to prove it. But my mile times suck. Normally high 7s or low 8s depending on weight.

I’ll get some pics here soon. Due for an update anyway. Last pics I have are on page 15 and 16.
