So here goes nothing. I've been training consistently since Thanksgiving 2018. I originally got into lifting about 10-12 years ago, I got sick, lost all my gains, got discouraged and quit. Then I had a kid, got married, and just never made time for lifting. I would go back to the gym for 2-3 months at time but my heart wasn't in it and I didn't stick with it. In the summer of 2018 I took a new job that moved me from a construction site into an office. I knew I had to get back in the gym or I would get even more skinny fat. Since about October 2019 my wife has taken an interest in training and goes with me when our schedules allow. I honestly thought it would be horrible but she pushes herself extremely hard and it has actually helped, plus she feels better about herself which helps in other areas. I have been hanging out on this board since April of 2019 I believe. Everyone has been super supportive and Grizz suggested I start a log. I was reluctant but I read Tater's entire log and was super impressed and said what the hell. I plan to kind of model mine off of his. So about me, I'm 42, 6'1" about 215lbs, been on TRT for close to 2 years, I did a push pull legs routine up until a few weeks ago. About 3 weeks ago I hired an online coach. I was basically trying to build and cut at the same time and doing a shitty job of both. When my coach asked my goals I told him I want to be at 12% BF by summer while maintaining as much muscle as I can. I was 18% when I had a dexa done in Sep of 19. He put me on a 4 meal a day diet and set up my training routine (I will post more about the diet and training plan in future post) back to what I call a bro split but with higher reps than I have done in the past. Two days on one day off. He also added 30 minutes of cardio everyday, I was definitely slacking on that before. In addition to managing my routine and diet he is also advising me on my "supplementation". Currently taking 500mg test, 400mg mast per week and 25mg of d-bol and 25mg of winny everyday and .5mg armidex twice a week. I'm about 2 weeks into this run. Planning on 12 weeks but we'll see what the bloodwork looks like, I may extend if everything looks good. I have messed around with AAS in the past but definitely not an expert. The pics I posted are from Feb 2019, June 2019, Aug 2019, and Jan 2020. Thanks for taking the time to read.
