hello guys new to the forum, im 31 years old started bodybuilding at 28 after always wanting to be a bodybuilder. i started at 305lbs 6'1 a fat out of shape lost individual. i trained slightly in high school but that was really just normal kid stuff not anything structured, i took it semi seriously off the jump as this was when cbum was going for his 5th olympia title and i was a fan lol i thought i could do that naturally for awhile 
so i dieted down to 190lbs naturally had abs slight quad lines and detailed back but still had soft glutes and lower back,started a "bulk"from there got to 217lbs doing a whole bunch of "hybrid" shit cycling boxing and bodybuilding so in my opinion i had just gotten fat again lol, started working with a coach i told him i wanted to compete see how it felt so he introduced me to structure and how to be a bodybuilder. i dieted 6 months for my first show and i was absolutely peeled at 178lbs striated glutes quads stripped up to the hip absolute wonderful feeling for that fat kid that never thought this was possible, i took 2nd overall at my first show ever which was fucking awesome in my opinon and might. i did a 2nd show about a month later managed to come in more conditioned at 180lbs and took a overall win. At this point i had already acknowledged i wanted to do this more seriously i started gear at this point 260mg test cyp a week later i added in 100 mg masteron 12.5 mg anavar daily 20mcg clen 50mcg t4 25mcg t3. I was still on a prep diet of 1700 calories a day 220 p 60 c 60 f i came in to my next show at 195 eating the same as i was going into my natty show, took 2nd overall at this last show but nonetheless 15 lbs gained on a prep diet to me was wild, since then ive slowly increased my gear with my coaches protocol. im on 400 test e 450 primo e 5iu hgh 8iu fast acting insulin pre and post workout and ive gone from 195 last show to now 245lbs in around 10 months time. i experimented with higher gh as well as retatrutide but thee combination increased my resting heart rate into the low 90's which was concerning to me so i dropped the reta and cut gh in half sitting now in mid 60's range as it typically does. i get 12k steps a day, i do 15 min hiit cardio in the morning and slowly gaining over time to keep leanness and health markers in check. my question is is this a typical response to gear with proper training diet and keeping health markers in check? or is this typical hyper responder genetics? ive attached some photos of my start point as well as my current physique. thank you guys for your time!
