Burly's TRT journey

[burlyman30]

No update yet on the scripts. Erase has helped me drop a fair amount of bloat. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-4 lbs. I'm using the term bloat because it looks like bodyfat loss to me, but I know that wouldn't be possible. But I look better in the mirror. From my baseline pics I posted near the beginning of this thread, I would say my bodyfat is slightly higher, but only nominally. But a week ago, I was looking quite a bit fattier all across my torso. I hadn't realized it was that much bloat. I had gained what looked like a lot of fat (to me). It's nice to get some of the bloat off. I feel better and look better. I'm thinking that sometime around month 3 on TRT, that I will put up some comparison pics, for better or for worse.

Gyno is still present and painful, but not quite as inflamed. I'm patient, though, and know how to reverse it. Just a matter of time.

Libido fluctuates... some sexual interest to none in a short span of time.

I'll add to this if I think of anything else.

Any clue what is causing the flux in libido?

Estrogen fluctuations is what I would presume. I think the erase drops it into a good range and then too low for good libido and then it begins wearing off and estrogen rises into normal range again, or above normal.

Estrogen has as much to do with libido as testosterone does. Either one out of range will mess you up.

Still have plenty of fat on me, and I tend to carry more fat on my legs than a lot of guys, but I was at the gym today and took a shot of the wheels. Sorry bout the quality. Between zooming in and my hands being all shaky, this was the best I could do.

And before anyone makes a comment about them... yes, I DID work my calves today. lol.

What's your current weight?
Wish I carried fat on my legs instead of my chest and stomach.

What's your current weight?

Weighing 186-188 with what I'm wearing in the pic.

Probably the same weight, or in that range. Just leaner. I don't see myself getting down to 170 again unless I am very ill or dieting down for a contest, and right now I don't have an interest in either. lol. Trying to keep under 200 for the sake of my joints, mostly.

Hopefully you'll see a nice recomp when your test and estro are right.
Or maybe add a something with your test.
