1.5 Years on TRT + 4 Month Retaject Weight Cut - 185 lbs to 165 lbs
Photos taken roughly 1.5 years apart, unflexed before, pump and fles in the after 37M 5'8, hiding face because not everyone at work knows I'm on TRT.
TRT has been great for strength, muscle building, recovery, and overall gym performance. I did notice some early water retention/puffier face and a more bloated look at first, so I eventually adjusted things with bloodwork and monitoring.
The fat loss came during a 4 month cut using reta. TRT really helped build/hold muscle, but the cut is what brought out the abs and overall definition. Reta made the diet mich easier to stick to because appetite and food was way more manageable.
