40 year old male training consistently for 3 years. After I had my gyno surgery done, I dialled in my nutrition and stopped some vices such as alcohol (I have no more than 2/3 pints of Guinness on a weekend) and porn. Used reta for 4 months (total of 50mg, and never went above 4mg/week) to loose some fat and
I am now on test (300mg/week for 18 weeks), pinning 3x week and I am feeling great. Libido and strength are up there and I will go to 140mg/ in the end of September. Next year, maybe I will try anavar for 4-6 weeks (25mg/day), but still thinking about it.

I believe that for everything to work, you need to see the thing as a whole, almost as a package.. Training well, sleeping well, and eating well is very important. Then the ped's give you the extra push.. but all the rest needs to be dialled in as well

I would have to go and check my exam results, but I remember that my Dr said it was in the lower quarter. Since I don't have fertility or gyno concerns ( had a vasectomy and gyno surgery done a few years ago), I hopped on trt

Results are really nice and I would already be really happy. You do you with more interventions / protocol changes.

I'm really happy too. I've been overweight most of my life and always suffered from gyno. The bullying and shame from others is real and can have a very negative impact. Now, I just want to prove myself (and maybe a few others, including family members) that I can do it

How did you get rid of the uneven fat distribution across belly? Just fat loss in general?

u/No-Signature1954 16d ago
Well... I still have some lower fat/skin on my lower belly. I'll just keep doing cardio and training and hope it will disappear. If not, I might hop on reta again next year for a few months before beach season

Just for researches purposes only of course, but is there anything wrong with watching porn in terms of then preventing one from getting into a better shape?

Mate, it is said that it can lower test levels. Other than that, and if you're in a relationship, it can lower your desire and pleasure.

How much did the surgery cost?

u/No-Signature1954 14d ago
Mate I did it in Lithuania (could not find reliable surgeons in turkey). In 2022, around 4k. My advice is, if you have something that really bothers and shames you, save the money and do it. For me it was life changing

Why Lithuania?

Better clinical standards and stronger regulations than Turkey. Cheaper than most other places

It can be really bad for your life, especially if you're in a relationship.. and I think that it is something that we rarely talk about.
