What’s up brothers of Meso!
I’m starting this log mainly for accountability and as a place to track my progress week by week. Posting here keeps me honest and gives me a clear picture of how far I’ve come.
I’ve been lifting on and off for the last 15 years. Between school and having kids young, there were stretches where I took close to a year off, but I always found my way back into the gym.
Here’s a shot of me natty around 26:
Over the last 2 years, I let myself go. Got into a new relationship, got comfortable, and didn’t prioritize training. On top of that, I felt terrible after workouts, libido tanked, and my mood was off for no clear reason. I thought it was depression at first and even tried meds, they helped a bit, but libido stayed an issue.
I ended up starting TRT in March, and almost instantly my libido came back and I had the energy to crush sessions again (probably some placebo at first). Here’s me before TRT:
And here’s me 8 weeks on 150mg test cyp per week:
In July, I bumped up to 250mg/week. Recently, I also linked up with a coach (won’t tag until he gives the green light). We started working together 9/5 and I’m grateful — he knows his stuff.
Here’s where I was at 9/1 when I sent my initial photos:
Calories, gear, and training all got adjusted, and this is where I’m at today (9/5):
