M/37/5'8" [231 lbs > 159 lbs = 72 lbs] (8 months) Progress / Face & Body
Over the last 8 months, I transformed my body and mind by dropping 72 lbs, going from 231 lbs down to 159 lbs at 5'8". I spent the first 4 months on a strict Ketogenic diet to kickstart the fat loss, then shifted to a high-protein macro split consisting of 150g carbs, 160g protein, and 20g fat for the remaining 4 months. Throughout the entire process, heavy weightlifting and progressive strength training were my top priorities to preserve lean muscle mass and shape my body composition alongside consistent cardio.
On the medical protocol side, I scaled up to 7.5 mg of Mounjaro during the active weight-loss phase to manage appetite and metabolic efficiency, and I'm currently on a maintenance dose of 2.5 mg every 10 days. Staying relentless with my lifting, locking in my nutrition, and following a structured protocol were the absolute keys to transforming both my physique and face gains. Happy to answer any questions about the journey!😝
36M / 5'7" | SW: 227 lbs (103kg) | CW: 163 lbs (74kg) | Maintenance: 2.5mg every 10 days
Started this run back on Jan 12th sitting at 227 lbs. Mounjaro completely killed the constant food noise right out of the gate, which let me actually focus on grinding with the weights at home.
Didn't wanna just shrink into a smaller soft guy, so I kept hammering heavy presses, lateral raises, and upper body volume to keep as much muscle as possible while melting the fat off.
Down 64 lbs total now and honestly feeling like a whole new dude. Just holding the line on maintenance right now with 2.5mg every 10 days.
Dropped the massive gut, kept the Sasquatch genetics.😂
Why do DHT derivatives (Masteron, Proviron, Anavar) cause extreme irritability/aggression for me, while Tren Ace makes me feel amazing and calm?
Hey everyone, I need some insight into my body chemistry because my reaction to certain compounds seems a bit unconventional.
To keep my blood levels as stable as possible, I micro-dose everything daily (ED). Here is my current protocol:
- Testosterone Enanthate: 350 mg / week (split into daily injections of 50 mg)
- Trenbolone Acetate: 16 mg / day (ED) - started 1 week ago
- Masteron: Was on 210 mg / week (split daily) for a month but just dropped it.
My issue: Every DHT derivative I touch turns me into an aggressive, irritable mess. Masteron caused severe anxiety and aggression. I tried Proviron before, same thing. Even Anavar fried my central nervous system and made me super edgy.
However, I've been running 16 mg/day of Tren Ace for a week now, and instead of the notorious "Tren rage," I feel absolutely amazing calm, clear-headed, and like an absolute angel.
Am I crazy, or is there a specific pathway/mechanism that explains why DHT fries my mood while low-dose Tren Ace stabilizes it? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!
