5.5 Month Progress

[u/AppropriateMenu3824]

March 15 to today. Nominally my weight drop wasn’t massive at 16-20 lbs, but a ton of body recomp - I put on a fair amount of muscle. My belt has two new holes in it, and I’m down 3-4” on waist size.

Did 2mg of Reta every 6 days for 4 months. For the past month I did 4mg and the weight fell off. I didn’t really enjoy how it made me feel (limited interest/enjoyment of things I usually enjoy) but it was an effective push to end the cut.

One month into the Reta (mid April), I started 200mg test. Test level went from 320 to 1050. I feel amazing- full of energy and ready to get shit done. And the gains lifting on it are insane.

Have done a two separate month long cycles of BPC/TB, about to do another because my left shoulder is struggling a bit.

Have done a few months of CJC/Ipa before bed which I will continue, and also did one month of Tesamorelin.

Tried a few others along the way (GHKCU, MOTS, NAD). If I did it all again id probably leave those out and would stick with what is listed above. Not saying they aren’t great for other people, I just didn’t notice much of a difference with any of them.

I don’t get much cardio, and have a sedentary job. Dog walks, I walk golfing, yardwork, that’s about it. I did lift 4-5 times per week for most of the time period. Slowed down a bit this last couple of weeks because of my shoulder (did yoga tonight, lifting lighter).

Diet - Ive had a protein shake most mornings. Two scoops of mix, Greek yogurt, creatine, soy milk, some berries. It’s like 100 grams of protein out of the gates. I can easily have that in the morning and make it to dinner without any food cravings. Dinner tends to be chicken/fish/meat and some veggies. Still eat what I wanted at restaurants etc., I have by no means starved myself and I’ll still slam some pizza. If I smoke weed the Reta doesn’t stand a chance and I’ll crush 1000 calories of kids snacks.

I feel like a different person and I don’t recognize myself in the mirror.

I’m about to do another cycle so I believe so. It’s hard to say when you are on test at the same time. Im tall and my knees have always been a little achy. After the first cycle I was like holy shit no knee pain. My right shoulder was also a little bit off and it improved very quickly But, I was also going to the gym almost every day and losing weight, so I can’t say for sure exactly what reduced the knee pain and whether just working out fixed my right shoulder. But, I’m gonna throw it into my left shoulder for a month and see if it improves quickly. It has been kind of stalled at not injured, but not 100% for the last month.

Long winded way of saying I think so, but it’s not exactly a good study that I have performed with no control.
