What would you do

[hollaatyaboyy1]

Been away from the game and out of the gym a long time….. i would take trt here and there but haven’t been serious in years.

Just got the wife pregnant with our first child and I’m really out of shape fat and holding next to no muscle at this point …..

36 in a few weeks
5’7 240

The goal is get down to. 180-190 in 9 months and be as healthy and fit as possible

Would you start trt now or drop at least 20-30lbs and get a bit healthier before jumping on the test

I enjoy the keto/carnivore style of dieting and after i drop a bunch of weight i plan on adding in Some organic fruit

What do you guys think

 

[Fleezy]

Jump on test now

TRT now so you don`t lose as much muscle while dieting down. Low T and kcal restricted diet is a path to skinny fat. Why add fruits later, after dropping weight? Why not now? Every color we eat is a different nutrient panel... which ones DON`T YOU NEED? I prefer to eat my fiber and nutrients from whole food vs a pill of substandard form. I also like to poop fully, daily and not wipe 8 times. If our digestive tract was meant to be mostly carnivore it would be short, like a lion. Our teeth would be different. Don`t forget digestive/colon health, that leads to whole body health... or illness

If the TRT lifestyle is one you want to get on a stay on then hop on your cruise dose and cut down. Then blast and bulk and never get fat again. Dad’s should be jacked so they can assert dominance over all rival dads.

Before you do anything go get a full panel blood work up done to see where you are at with things across the board and proceed from there. You need to know where you are at. One worst things is to start and not knowing your baseline values are and have a issue arise. Then it is a guessing game on the cause of elevated values. Did the trt cause it or maybe it was there all along.

Good luck and congrats on being a father to be!

Get bloodwork and see where your levels are…why jump on TRT if you don’t have to. If you haven’t had the motivation or discipline in years to be on top of things, wait until you have a newborn!

Don't be nervous bro. You are young and have time to fix whatever is fucked. Fatty liver is easy. It just takes time, diet, exercise and supplements. Just be consistent and stay the course.

OP if your profile didn’t say 2009 and 1500 posts I would have assumed you were a troll. Come on dude…

As someone who’s been a fat 240 at 5’7 and unhealthy I can tell you that your best bet is to just tackle it head on.

Start dieting and doing cardio 30-45 min a day, get 12k steps in and lift 5-6 days a week and just don’t stop.

Get your bloodwork done. Just because you don’t get your bloodwork done doesn’t mean something isn’t there.

And having fatty liver just means you need to diet, lose weight and clean up your lifestyle.

Odds are like me at that time you could benefit from TRT, but don’t guess- you have a kid now. Just be responsible and get to it. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it 6-12 months from now.

You’re right I’ve been letting work and trying to grow a business and life get i. The way of my health and that can’t happen anymore.

I’m not going to bodybuild or do heavy cycles like i did

But i need to get in shape

Then eat less shit, do more cardio and strength train a few days a week. This isn’t complicated.

I said the same thing when I was in your spot. Look at me now. This shit’s addicting.

15k+ steps, trace fat diet and 150-200 test would be a great starting point. You’ll probably start feeling and looking significantly better within a month. Health markers will more then likely shift in your favor as well.
