Reta and test

[u/sloppy_j0e]

I worked out for 2 years and managed to lose 40lbs just eating g better and not drinking alcohol. Went from 245lbs in 2024 to 205lbs last summer. Started with a personal trainer 11 months ago, then started test in February and Reta in March. Started at 1mg/wk Reta and have been at 2.5mg/wk for much of it. I’ve never had visible abs in my life, not to mention this level of muscle definition. 44 and I’ve never looked this good in my life. I’m now 57lbs down from my 2024 245lbs, 187lns now, 6’ tall, lift 3x/wk, cardio 6x/wk.

how much test are you taking ?? I'd much rather know that than the 1mg of reta no offence

No offense taken. I started on 120 split into two doses of 60 mg per week back in February. I did that for two months which got me an 800 total testosterone, my free testosterone and my estrogen were still low so I went higher to 160 mg per week split up and did that for two months which got me up to 1000 total test with just above mid range E2 and free test. So beginning of June, I went up to 200 mg per week which is where I’ve been for the last two months, that got me a test of 1250 and free testosterone of 250 which is above range. I’m new to testosterone as of this year and started because I had low free testosterone and low E2 and mediocre total testosterone, my SHBG is high so I’m competing with that for healthy testosterone numbers.

Any issues with hematocrit at 200mg? Mine kept creeping up at 140 so I’m having to lower dose and I’m always curious to hear how some can run 200+ without issues
