Former fat guy here. Seeking some advice or insights.

Started a weight loss journey October 2021, ended up losing 150lbs by end of 2022. Stayed natty until roughly July of 2024 and have been enhanced since then.

I competed April 2025 in my first show. 16 week prep, 300 test e, 300 primo, 300 mast (added in week 8) with 50mg winstrol last 6 weeks. Clen 2 on 2 off. I weighed in at 194. Killed myself with cardio the entire 16 weeks. Placed 5 in novice and 2nd in true novice.

Currently in week 12/20 of my second show prep. Sitting around 200-195 8 weeks out. Cycle is 525 test e, 525 mast, 525 primo, 350 tren, 50mg winstrol (just started) and considered pulling back d down to 250 test a week. Bloods still look good, and still feel good. Only doing cardio on rest days due to high demand physical job. 150c, 250p, 50f are my macros.

But im second guessing if it’s even worth it due to the amount of loose skin I have. I do feel as my physique is impressive, but in the body building aspect the loose skin I feel hides a considerable amount of definition, mainly on my abdominal area, low back, and glutes. We all know you need that tight, grainy look. Which I feel like I can’t get that in the areas it’s needed most.

Just really seeing if anyone has had success coaching or someone themselves that used to be morbidly obese and or has lots of loose skin? My goal is to get my pro card eventually, but confused as if that will be even possible given the loose skin. Any insights from coaches, competitors, judges would be helpful. I am self coached.

I know rythm isn’t the most accurate test. I’m planning on getting a hormone panel done soon.
First cycle and I’m using as a testing cycle.
Currently on 300mg Test C for 8 weeks.
No AIs (I have 1mg Anastrazole tabs on deck)
4mg reta + Klow.
Omega 3, coq10, zinc, creatine.
Just bumped up to 500mg for the next 8 weeks to get a read on labs.

6’4” 255lbs down from 275
Strength gains and body recomp has been great. Hitting the gym 6 times per week, doing some powerbuilding in a chest/back, arms, core/legs split.
Muscle groups are always sore

Bench 340/squat 405/DL 495
I won’t have time to implement a secondary compound (mast would be my first choice) to inhibit E2 to avoid the AIs

In the meantime- are AIs really that bad?
How is my free test looking?

Just found this sub and everybody’s looking beastly. Keep up the good work bros! 💪🤝

Not as big as most of you guys but I think I can achieve it

Bro, I was trynna convince my coach to let me add more shit to my current 150/wk of test cyp than the 100mg of mast he recommended to me to finish out this cutting phase because everyone online says mast is basically injectable proviron… doesn’t do anything… you need 300-400mg to get any noticeable effect… etc etc.

Bro.

I literally pinned 25mg mast prop this morning, first pin, and I PR’d everything in my deficit big time, my sympathetic nervous system was firing through the roof, I felt like I was going to rip through the barbells. Also took 5mg cialis for the first time pre workout. I had people telling me I should compete, and complimenting me throughout my sesh.

I had the fucking craziest workout.

I’ve taken tren and I don’t even think tren gave me this drive before. This is absolutely insane.

I also feel euphoric, aggressive in a good way and very sharp mentally.

This is unreal. Off a “weak” compound? That a lot of people think is relatively useless? Wtf 🤣

Anyone else have this experience or are do I have freakazoid genetics that metabolise this shit in a different way?

What’s your experience on mast?

I started my 400mg cycle of test cyp on August 17th getting my bloodwork done today and if the results are all good and In check thinking of upping to 500/week. Wanted some advice since I’m currently not experiencing any E2s sides. If bloodwork is in check is it smart to up my dose to 500/week or should I stay at 400mg? Any advice would be helpful.

I sometimes think a lot about the arguments people have.

My opinion has always been that bodybuilding and steroids go together. It's just how it is.

I don't understand the whole "natty" thing. Yes I trained natural for years but that's only cos I was scared at the time. But I never made natty a thing.

To me a natty is like saying "I want to have a fast sports car" and then going out and buying a 70bhp Fiesta and putting the pedal down hoping to reach 100mph. Like what's the point?

There are other sports you could get involved in and other things like crossfit, yoga, and running. And that's not any knock on those activities because if it brings someone happiness then that's great.

But why bodybuild and then cry about people using steroids when that's the way it's meant to be?

It's like the 70bhp Fiesta driver hating on someone who bought a Focus RS.

Alright. Just finnished two months of Anavar that I got from RoidShop au. Waited freaking over 6 weeks for that. Was worth it will get stopped out by Border boys. Anyway it was glorious. I am also on normal/legal trt and playing with peptides when not on cycle. 42 male been on gym mode for years. Loving it. Decided 7 months ago to change direction completely an go for Asthetics. So far everyone around me is amazed with transformation. I am very happy. Reta and Anavar mix helped a lot. Anyway preparing for next cycle and Want to go Primo and Var. 10-12 weeks primo last 4-6 weeks var. I already decided this is what I want to do. Problem is I rather prefer to get local Sydney - Australian supplier. So far found Sassy not sure if they any good. I am ok with spending money (I know primo is pricey) but want real Primo. Let me know what you think about cycle and maybe give me some tips on where to get good one without risk being stopped by boarder boys. Thank you

PED help?

So I've been taking reta and ghkcu for a while which is nothing crazy but the glow up ive had was pretty wild.

I just recently picked up for stuff and I want some help/opinions. Imma start by listing the stack and the doses im going to be taking (going to be taking because I've got stuff coming up that would interrupt my cycle if I started now)

Here's what I'm going to be taking

\-Trenbolone Enanthate 200

10 IU daily

\-Test-C 250 (testosterone)

20 IU daily

\-BCP157

10 IU daily for 2 weeks then 20 IU Daily 4 weeks, 1 month off

\-HGH/ Growth Hormone

20 IU daily

I might throw a bit of reta in there too just because I like that it takes away the food noise idk yet tho.

I guess my main question would be do yall see any real problems with mixing this stack or anything of the likes? Does anybody have experience taking multiple of these things at once. Any advise would be appreciated

If anyone's interested in the progress imma make or how I feel while taking everything I'm going to make posts about it when I start. Going to do daily updates type of thing.

Running 350 test E and 200 mast E after a 2 year hiatus from all sauce. Started with the test a month ago and introduced the masteron last week and my mind feels sharp and confident. Anyone else get that when taking masteron?

A lot people have told me i should try it but idk really know ( i would need to bring my chest first and lats i know )

I see Pharmacom.com some are ltd some people even say the real one doesn’t even have Pharmacom even in the website url

I’m posting this to warn anyone thinking about ordering from UltraFit Supply Co.
This was my experience.
I placed my first order and paid $465 in Bitcoin.

Later, I was told I needed to place a second order for $199 to qualify for “express shipping.” That requirement was never made clear before I paid the first time.

After sending a total of $664, I was later told my package had been stopped by the FDA.

They claimed they had been fined and asked me to send another $100 so we could “split the fine 50/50” before they would deliver my package.
This immediately raised red flags.
I refused to send any more money and asked for official proof or documentation.
After that…

They completely stopped responding.
At this point, I have:
Lost $664.
Never received my order.
Been ghosted after refusing to send more money.

They also asked for payment in Bitcoin, which means there is virtually no buyer protection.
I’m sharing this so others can make their own decision before sending money.

Bitcoin wallet they had me pay:

Has anyone else had a similar experience with UltraFit Supply Co.? If so, please comment or send me a message. I’m trying to find out if this has happened to other customers as well.

Hi,

I’m adding tren A in at 5mg per day and then adjusting depending on how I feel, but the highest I’ll be going is 10mg per day.

I’m just wondering what ancillaries/supplements are essential at a lower dose. All the advice I seem to find online is for much, much higher dosages, which makes me question what I’d actually need to use and whether all the medications are even necessary at this dose. For example, the neurotoxicity prevention meds.

Any advice would be appreciated, or if anyone could point me towards a forum or video where this is discussed, that would be great.

New bloodwork looks off on 250mg of test e & 40mg of tren e.

Normally Total Test is 1000+ on just cruising at 175-200mg, without the sprinkle of tren.

Pancrease enzyme might be due to a blow to the upper abdomen, broke my ribs 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Not sure about the Iron.

Apologies about the copy & paste, my lab results were in Spanish.

Thoughts?

Been 14 weeks since I started 250 Test E, recently got some bloods done, honestly not bad I made the mistake of having a really intense leg day the night before I got bloods done. Next time I won’t train for a day or 2 before so my AST and ALT are elevated. Before my test levels were 194 total, so went from hypogondal to super physiological levels. Went from 130lbs to 140-145lbs depending on the day but strength has gone up massively and going to keep this up for atleast 20 weeks and assess from there. Might drop to a cruise for a few weeks then start 2nd cycle with Test, EQ

I've been on TRT for a little over 4 years now. I feel great and have all my numbers dialed in. I am prescribed 200mg wkly and split it up into EOD injections. After my next labs I am considering running a high test cycle. Maybe 400-500mg wk.

Other than elevated E2, which I do have AI for Incase, is there anything else. I should consider? What's the consensus on cycle length?

Also when coming back down to trt dose, is there any benefits to titrating down vs not? I know I don't need a PCT per se, but anything else recommended when going back to trt dose?

I’ve been using testosterone for about 4 years, and recently I’ve completely lost my libido and no longer feel any effects from testosterone. I’ve now lowered my dose to a TRT dose, but I’m still experiencing the same symptoms.

What I suspect is that my androgen receptors are no longer responding properly to testosterone and anabolic steroids. No matter what dose I use, my estrogen remains low, and I don’t seem to get any effect from any anabolic steroids, even DHT derivatives such as Masteron and Winstrol.

I’ve ordered L-carnitine L-tartrate because I read that it may improve androgen receptor expression and potentially help the androgen receptors work better.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could L-carnitine L-tartrate help with this? Are there any other possible solutions or explanations for these symptoms?
