Hello everyone, glad to be here. I'm 22 years old, 6'2, 223lbs, ~21%bf and been training for 3.5 years now. I went on TRT back in November after getting a level of 297 back from the doctor and decided to not waste the best years of my life + I always had an interest in taking steroids (ran a couple ostarine cycles a year back)

I know I'll get shit on for this, but I ended up listening to the voices and started a cycle 3 months ago on the dot. Dosage was set at 500 test/200 primo as to not crash my e2 since that is considerably worse than having it be high. Raised the dose to 350mg Primo about a month ago after I noticed that I was constantly mad at the world, doses seem good now. So far, everything has been incredible. No gyno, bp is always 120/60-80, sharper and more motivated than I've ever been. Haven't noticed any hair loss from primo so far. I was never sensitive to acne, but I noticed that if I stop eating my incredibly clean diet for a few days, I'll get 2-5 pimples appear on my chest.

Weight was 245lbs in january, 226lbs on day one of the cycle. 222.8 this morning and I've also added creatine in a few weeks back. No idea how much fat lost due to more water retention/whatever muscle I gained, but I look a lot leaner and bigger than when I started the cycle.

Got bloodwork a month ago, 28 days pre-cycle - Highlights are:
Thyroid levels recovered to mostly normal, they were all over the place 3 months prior on just trt.
Cholesterol was almost back in range.
WBC was 11.7, .9 higher than reference range, not sure what that's about.
Total T was only 2015, kind of low but the test was 48 hours after a pin, on EOD schedule
Free T 767
E2 was 113, guessing it's much lower now with almost double the primo

Supplement list: Kirkland multivitamin, 6 fish oils, calcium, magnesium, coq10, citrus bergamot, vitamin K2, creatine, collagen, maybe 1-2 more that i'm forgetting

Just started on tirzapetide a week ago in attempt to bury the hatchet once and for all and get to my lifelong dream of being low 10% body fat. I have a solid macro setup going, posted down below.

Pretty motivated for the cut, already daydreaming of being shredded and what I'm gonna run for my next cycle

Current Macros:
Non training day: 75f/200p/150c
Training Day: 70f/220p/250c
Refeed: 85f/220p/400c

I train 4 days a week on a Chest-FSDelt/Back-RDelt/Arms/Legs split. Taking rest days as needed throughout the week.

No real weight goal in sight, just going to keep going until I have beautiful, chiseled abs.

Excited to join the community!

If you have low t it's the right thing to do. In that case age doesn't matter.

If you are getting the results you want with no sides that is all a person can ask for. Not sure where you got your dose advice from. But that doesent matter now.
When you get to where you want to be. Try lower dose to maintain. Don't fall into the rich piano trap of continually moving the bar till it becomes a wooden lid you sleep under.

Thank you for the welcomes.

Couple Updates:
Turns out I did my math wrong and my dosing has been 700 test/350 primo for a while. Gonna lower to 400/200 because I don't think there's a point running >1g of anabolics if I'm not eating enough to grow. Shouldn't feel worse but if I do, I'll raise them back up. Getting lipids checked next week, hopefully my HDL isnt 6ft under from the primo.

Long awaited package landed, started on 4iu's of growth and will be tossing in 30-40mg of anavar next week. Also started on retatrutide, gonna be running that along w tirz at the lowest doses I can.

I miss natty cutting when the scale actually meant something haha. I'll post pics once I get some abs going so I'm not laughed out of the forum.

In all seriousness, yes I'm a dumbass, yes I could do it without drugs, yes my physique isn't impressive. But this is the land of the free and the beauty of life is that I get to do whateverrrr the fuck I want to. Thanks for the thoughts, going to use your energy for my success.
