What’s up Meso Peeps, been a lurker for awhile made an account so I could comment on the HGH threads as I was debating starting up, I had no clue I was supposed to introduce myself before posting there so here I am and I apologize for that.
Little bit about me, 27, father of 3 boys married since I was 17 and self employed. I played football from when I was 5(flag, tackle once 8), was actually pretty good and had multiple scholarship offers during HS but life happened, started smoking weed, got a girl pregnant, ended up marrying said girl at 17 and while that has worked out awesomely and I ended up with a great marriage and 3 amazing kids sometimes I look back and really pick myself for letting that kind of opportunity go.
The first couple years of marriage was hard as I was young and I’ve always been an entrepreneur so working a 9-5 wasn’t on the cards for me, and while I did become successful it was at the cost of my physical health(sat on a computer all day smoking weed) and gained a good amount of weight and was never physically active.
I’m not sure what it was but in January a switched just flipped and I knew I needed to change. I started dieting in February I was 265-270 and Dexa in Jan had me at 40%+ BF(6’4). I instantly started counting calories and hitting the gym, starting at 2000 calories and working down to 1500 after a couple months, I got a Dexa scan every month so I could see my progress, by July 12ish I was 199 and 17% bf, Dexa said I had lost 70 pounds of fat and gained 5lb lean mass(I know this could just be water or whatever else).
After that scan is when I took my first break, went on vacation right after to an All Inclusive and ate what I wanted and after 10 days came back and I was 215ish so about 15 pounds gained in 10 days, but I figured this would happen so I didn’t stress, I followed my game plan and ate 3500 for a couple weeks, and settled around 213lb by August 18th, had a Dexa scan that day that had me at 16% bf and even though I was 13lb heavier than in July I looked better and leaner. Started cutting again after the scan this time not cutting so hard(2500 calories) and since August 18th I’m back to 201 from 213. I plan to cut until I am 8-10% and just lean bulk until I am 225ish at 12%.
I started Test E in June 75mg EOD, 8 week bloods put me at 1530s and 490 free, and 85 e2(zero sides) but my HCT was 51.5 from 48 prior, and I was just trying to find a solid cruise dose so I instantly dropped down to 50mg EOD instead of the 75mg and I’ll go back in soon for labs once this settles in. The e2 worried me a tad but from what I researched if I don’t have sides I shouldn’t worry to much, no acne, no moodiness, and perfect BP(take every morning) and I feel fucking awesome, like I’m 16 again scoring touchdowns.
I also started HGH to aid in recovery and see if it would help my sleep (hardly was getting more than 6hr) and I started at 2iu for a couple weeks and I didn’t have any sides at all so I bumped up to 4iu and it’s been a couple weeks and still zero sides so far no water retention that I could notice and it’s tremendously helped with my sleep and recovery. Even the rough nights I’ve had since where I only get 6-7 hours of sleep I wake up feeling like I slept 9-10, I’ve been averaging about 8-8.5 since, but I’ve been reading up on Acromegaly because my igf was 372 before starting the HGH.
Anyways that was a rambling mess, and that’s me. Most people call me T <3
