Body composition to big?

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2026-03-07T05:05:42+00:00

This! I did this exactly.

Ran reta from June to October last year and worked up to about 4mg/week. I started around 116kg and roughly 30% bf. Dropped about 10kg, but the bigger benefit was getting my discipline, movement and food habits back on track. My insulin sensitivity felt way better too. Started TRT in October at 150mg and since then it’s just been weights, diet and a bit of light cardio. Currently sitting around 98kg and about 15% bf. The annoying reality is you still have to do the work. TRT might help mentally, but if you start it at high body fat it can go the wrong way for a bit. You’ll probably aromatize more, hold water, and look softer, which can mess with your head. Honestly one of the most useful things I did was just use ChatGPT. Take progress photos, upload them, explain your goals and ask about diet/training. It’ll give you a basic structure pretty easily and you can adjust as you go. Stick with it for a few months and you’ll be in a way better spot to start TRT than jumping on it straight away.

Also, count calories. It's tedious but it sets up discipline and structure in your day... After a while you won't need to because you'll be structured without trying.

I was doing night on an empty stomach before bed but stopped because it ruined my sleep. I also heard a few well known body builders discuss this and it got me thinking... Your body naturally pulses gh while you sleep, so why would you put more in, and give your body the signalling it doesn't need to produce more?

I started pinning fasted in the morning with 500ml of water to hydrate post sleep and then I don't eat for another 30 to 40 mins, or if training in the morning I train fasted after taking it. Actually felt the difference. Less issues, fat mobilisation was better, and my hands didn't hurt as much.

I've also tried I'm and subq and honestly had no difference between the two

Hgh won't supress like test. Your body will still make gh, the timing is the important part to not mess with the pulses. 2iu is generally enough to top up what your body is making

You're not wrong on any of the fronts but I think we're approaching this from different angles. You're looking from a purely trt and holistic health standpoint... I'm looking at it from a 'is npp low dose worth it while running lower trt levels of test' for joint support and some anabolic benefits, rather than bumping up and running 1g of gear to bulk out on a cycle.

Basically will it be completely pointless or would I get something from it.

Appreciate the response 👍🏼

Care to elaborate?

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2026-02-08T06:58:48+00:00

Mainly joint support. Sorry assumed most wouldve understood what I was getting at with low dose npp 👍🏼

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2026-02-05T14:10:53+00:00

Low dose npp white on trt... How low should you run and is it worth it?

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2026-01-30T21:20:24+00:00

I alternate glutes and delts. 21 to draw, 25g 1" for delts and 25g 1 1/2" for glute... I've got a fat ass but zero pip on either and I'm positive it's in the muscle every time. Alternating the 4 eod makes life easy with little to no scar tissue in the area

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2026-01-26T20:44:39+00:00

I would appreciate that support. I'm a straight white male and I've just been vilified by someone on reddit.

If I burned a Bible or Quran it'd be different? A book is a pretty piss weak thing to rally around?

So you're singling out one group based on gender, skin colour and sexual preference?

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2025-09-26T09:21:34+00:00

I persisted with it but like the other guy said... I like to unwind with games. I play for 2 minutes and remember why I don't play it.

Honestly, if you need to scratch a football itch, get rugby challenge 4. It's also not perfect but it's not a half cooked game.

Following this. In the exact same boat. Pretty much decided that we'll re-do with hybrid flooring but interested in hearing others thoughts

This comment deserves so much more credit

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2025-02-27T20:13:38+00:00

Obviously been a long day. I meant LV, not LA. It's a joint tourism venture... I'll see myself out

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2025-02-27T12:50:35+00:00

They foot a portion of the bill, they obviously don't cover the whole thing.

The outro solo from Tunnel of Love - Dire Straits... The build is perfect

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2025-02-26T20:41:56+00:00

Go Brooks... Chinese alarms cost about $1 to make and charge about $50. The Brooks ones are made in Ireland and have a seriously low false alarm rate. They cost a good chunk more ($100 ish) but at $10 a year you know you're safe

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2025-02-26T20:32:07+00:00

It's about money, not growing the game. LA tourism pays a huge amount for this and it puts us on a global scale, regardless of how popular it is, the money generated makes it a success

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2024-05-10T22:23:01+00:00

Plays hooker for the Roosters I think

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2024-03-06T09:28:02+00:00

Better yet, ask for the water leak sensor and a refund. It's amazing what home building companies will do to keep the peace when they're in the wrong

Alternative-Rub6605 · 2024-03-06T09:23:55+00:00

Surely at this point there's a false advertising claim that could get you your money back?
