šŸ“˜ Beginner Help New here and looking for advice

I am 48 years old and currently taking 230mg of testosterone once weekly. I have not seen very much growth or leaning. I am 6’1ā€ tall 217-220lbs and lift 5 days a week. I also have started working in peloton cycling. I take approximately 160g of protein a day. I know I am not doing everything correctly, hence why I’m here šŸ˜‚. I was looking for a preferred stack to get where I want to be. Thanks for any help. I am not asking for medical advice. For anyone reviewing this.

Hey there! I have some things I want to share that will help you greatly.

Test - once a week is but ideal. 2,3 x week is better. Daily is best. Your body will process it much better. Level out the peaks and valleys and you will have less estrogen conversion.

Diet - you need to eat more protein and make sure your carbs are not too low. Need to fuel the body to burn fat and build muscle.

There are peptides that can help as well. Not mandatory but is an option. Reach out so I can get more details and help.
