It’s ****ed. I could be at 1000 total and the doc wants to say it’s too high. Meanwhile I’m at or below the low level for free, and she couldn’t care less. I’m just about done with doctors for a while.

Surprisingly my TRT clinic didnt say anything about the total over 1300......only said everything looks great. I was surprised. I have a buddy that is with his physician and his test was at 1000 after an increase in dose. Rather than reducing down they have asked him to get totally off for 4 weeks and retest. Thought that was ridiculous. Let alone the his doc doesnt know what HCG is......I would be leaving that doc in a heartbeat.

It's been said many times but it's true. The guys on here know more about trt and the risks/benefits of it than the majority of doctors out there.

Ps-sorry to hijack your log. Lol

12/26/2018 chest day (work gym):

2 weeks in. Definitely feel like Tren has kicked in well. Waking every night at 4 AM, light sweats (nothing crazy), and out of breath. Had sex with wife this morning and when we were done I was breathing like I had a monster cardio session. Strength continues to increase. Reps on incline DB went up quite a few. First set on DB dropset was a good increase as well, however subsequent sets crashed. Weight not moving much. Woke up at 253. Starting weight is 254 so discouraging, however feel like I am still losing fat as I think I am gaining muscle at same rate as dropping fat. Pics from today.....notice a little more definition..nothing crazy, but positive nonetheless.

Burnout pushups: 14

Thanks, Gadawg. Not sure if its just in the head, but I seem to be noticing subtle changes daily. I could only imagine if I had the diet and cardio dialed in at 100%....

4 wks in on cycle. Strength seems to be plateuing some. Last few days I have been extremely tired. Weight this morning was 250.5, so overall 2.5 pound weight loss. Goal is for fat loss, but overall recomp, so about what I expected. Did two workouts yesterday, and was exhausted midway through chest workout. I just did a lot of reps as I dont think I was fully ready to tear chest apart since I just did chest on Monday. Havent been working in enough cardio, but did have a suprise morning sex session with wife as I was getting ready to leave for workout. Took about 15 minutes to recover my breathing and stop sweating......lol. Feel like visually I am seeing changes daily now. Sides are present, but not unbearable. Hardest thing to do right now is eat.....appetite is going away......dilemna is do I force myself to eat the calories or do I just go with it and go in a significant deficit to lose fat. Just afraid that I will not gain much muscle if I go that route. Suggestions appreciated on that front.........will have wife take some pics this weekend and post v. usual selfies.

1/10/2019 evening chest day:

Flat bench: 135 x 25, 225 x 17, 185 x 18, 225 x 12
Cable crossovers: 24s x 15, 32.5s x 12, 45.5s x 10
Incline DB press: 60s x 16, 60s x 14, 60s x 13

Cut chest day short do to soreness and weakness.....just listened to my body.

Tren works well in a deficit. Take the loss of appetite as a W and go with it.
