340 to 240 with TRT + Reta

Have lost 100lbs officially with plans to aim for 35 to 40lbs more. Started at 340 in the starting picture, currently at 240lbs as of today. Have tried a few other peptides during the journey, mainly KLOW and MT2 with good results. I do not count calories, I only aim for a protein goal then just eat healthier now as a result overall. Starting picture was November 2025, so progress has been over 9-10 months. Would like to be closer to 200lbs by end of year. TRT dose is 175mg a week, I do my shot every other day, Reta is sitting at a split dose every Tuesday/Friday with each shot being 5mg as of now. Started Reta low and titrated up and have been coasting on my current doses.

455x5 Deadlift Form

Usually wear flat soled shoes for deadlifts but today made a mistake and wore shoes with a thick sole and raised heel and can see that caused me to shift forward during setup, but curious if any other issues are visible. See some thoracic rounding, but nothing egregious that I'm worried about. 455x5 following 5/3/1 still and this is 5 rep day.

325x1 Bench Press Check

Worked singles from 315 to 345, this is 325. I notice I bounce it slightly when beginning the press from the pause, but not sure if I'm missing anything else during setup, movement, or racking.

TRT, Reta, MT2, GHK-CU, Down 80lbs

Starting weight: 336lbs (November 2025)
Current weight: 256lbs (June 2026)
Goal weight: 200lbs
Height: 5'11"
Age: 35

Currently, I am stacking 175mg test-c per week (test level was 200 when I started, this puts me around 800-900), 6mg Reta per week, 500mcg MT2 on days with sun exposure, and 2.5mg GHK-CU daily. Hoping the light tan and GHK-CU can help with skin elasticity and hiding stretch marks as I lose weight. First 2 pics are starting weight, last 2 pics are as of today. Have always had moobs since being a teen, hoping they'll continue to shrink as weight goes down, when I weighed 180lbs over 10 years ago they went away, but may need to look into removal once I reach my goals.

455x5 any advice welcome

I know I have a lean at the top, it's something I've already been trying to correct and I honestly don't feel like I do it until I watch it back. Any additional advice welcome.

Looking for form advice for pull ups, this was my 5th set of 5, so form is most likely to be at it's worst here for critique.

Current BW: 269lbs
