What's up guys.....As long as I have been here I don't think I have ever kept a log. After having some setbacks and not being in the gym for 18-20 months, I figured this would be a good way to keep my new found motivation.
If you see my "Hello Again" post on the main page, you can read the issues I went through. I will post up some pics of how I looked before, during, and where I am currently headed.
I have been back at it pretty hard for the last 3 months or so, and just recently started back on my TRT.
Stats - I am 45 and 5' 7", so I am a short guy. Currently I weigh in ~ 165 lbs. Diet is currently at 2100 calories a day in a split of Protein 40%, Carbs 35%, and Fat at 25%. At this intake I am "recomping" although slowly...but plan to very slowly increase calories, and then only when my progress in my lifts stall. I want to put on some more weight, but I want to stay as lean as I can and not like in the past when I all I cared for was gaining as fast as possible.
As I said I have just started back TRT, and in about 3 weeks I will be adding in MK-677 and LGD-4033. I plan to start at 10mg each daily and assess how I react from there.
I will plan to update as much as I can, but there are days when I am so "swamped" it's hard to get free to get on the board. But I hope knowing that this is out here will help drive me so that I can come back with updates that show decent progress.
On to some pics.
Pic-1 - I was around 205 lbs I think. This was before I injured myself. Had a nice tan going!!
Pic-2 - I was around 160 lbs. After not lifting at all for at least 18 months, I started to really learn how important diet was to at least try and stay in shape even if I couldn't weight train.
Pic-3 and 4 - This was just last week. Up to 165-167, and been back on a solid routine where I am progressing and able to really go at it hard. I think I have 4 months under my belt being back, but the first 6 weeks were just getting accustomed to everything again.
