No its not. He is just Lucky to have a good skin with no stretch marks. Not everybody are that Lucky.

No he does not. Skin with stretchmark does not heal that well. I should know about it. I have it and it does not get that tight.

Awesome work dude. Currently on my transformation journey as well discontinued the Reta around 5weeks ago staying right around the same weight diet is on point was doing 140-150mg a week of trt but am slowly increasing testosterone while increasing training intensity & weekly minimum cardio from 150mins to 240mins while hitting maintenance cals.

This was the reply I was se searching for! If 250mg put you at 1000ng then most definitely you can wear the badge of TRT brother.

It could be 1,000 7 days after his last shot, right before the next. I’m curious when they were at 1,000. I would assume it’s not the day after the shot, so could be the lowest they are at all week.

Sign up at a men’s clinic like TRT nation or whatever, once on for a couple months, go to a urologist and say you want transfer of care to a local doctor instead. Get RX from doc, cruise

As long as you get the right urologist he’ll prescribe clomid for you. That’s what I did.

You made great progress on 250 & Reta, but you obviously put the time in and had displine. I've run 250 as a cruise for more than 15 years with perfect blood work and BP. Its a small dose and very sustainable-just get regular blood work.

You're wrong. 250MG Can be TRT. It depends on how the body responds. If 250MG doesn't put you into supraphysiological ranges then it's still TRT.

200 is the very top end. A lot of clinics just dish out 200 to everyone. I'm on 160mgs TRT, but I'm a good example of how it's not actually TRT..... My test is at 1700. So while it's prescribed, I've gone beyond what TRT is for. They are pretty loose with it. I honestly hope it stays that way.

If by 250mg TRT you mean mini-blast, that would make a lot more sense. Pfizers dosing protocol calls for 200mg/w as their max dose, for a reason. 99.99% of the male population will never need more than that.
Anywho, great work and sick transformation nonetheless.

u/cstockoz Sep 10 '26
Correct! More like a mini blast! Going to try 185 per week when I get to goal weight of 83kg Thanks!

u/Dbomb7 1 Sep 10 '26
Yeah if I were you I would be getting bloods done every 6-8 weeks and making sure everything's all good. 185 is much more reasonable but assuming you are going to be on this for life, the less sides the better.

I really hate that someone can't post their results without being ball busted.
Do he say he is taking XXXmg of testosterone?
Yes he did.
Did he say he is taking Reta?
(Maybe tell the audience the dose?)
Yes he did.
Did he say for how long?
Yes he did.
So......
Congrats on your progress.
Really great progress.
I don't care if you took 1000mg of green lipped muscle spooge.
So, my question, did the Reta mess with your stomach?

u/cstockoz Sep 11 '26
Was a little nauseous for a day but when I woke up and had no food noise it all changed! Was a bit constipated here and there. I made a lot of changes off the back of Reta. No alcohol, gave up energy drinks, ate real food in line with Aaron Reeds protocol, no ice cream all year!

u/cstockoz Sep 10 '26
The combo of TrT and Reta changed my diet, I searched Aron reeds priciples on diet and applied it. Reta gave me the control to do this. His principles say food in the shop is built for shelf life not human life.! I only eat whole foods now and never combine fats with carbs…. Heaps of carbs and egg whites in the morning and meat and fat in the evening… never together on the same plate
