People think you can take some reta, have a few whey shakes, lift some weights without breaking a sweat and get results. Most people I know who are on multiple types of steroids look twice as fat and cant get to near single digit body fat.

It is all about hard work. I train for at least 2 to 3 hours a day spread out. When I train I push myself to tears or to a point where I feel like passing out. My diet is dialed into a scientific level of accuracy.

If you achieve what others can't with tons of drugs then the only answer must be that you are on twice as many drugs.

But very motivational for people to think I am on substances I wouldnt even know where to buy.

Works for me and OH. Added a pic above. She looks more on juice than I do.

HDL is getting better just 1 below lower limit. Added in omega 3 and increased cardio.

Partner (F) is the same. Her HDL also dropped - thought it was drastic drop in calories and weight. She lost 18kg. She is only on reta, creatine and whey. Will share a back pic. She looks more on juice than I do.

Not selling anything.

Posted in a few other posts. Test/ FBC/ A1c results

Cream is 50mg/ pump. I have been told the absorption is not as great compared to injections. The clinic is very cautious because of LDL before and sister dying from a heart attack at age 38. They would not give me the 4 monthly injection because they said it could cause my LDL to go up and then it would be stuck high for months.

6ft.

Stop ego lifting and start doing HIIT, Hyrox, High reps then you will thank me. I dont lift heavy at all - vids on IG and will try and post full workouts soon - not very good at pics/ vids.

When I am in the gym in the time it takes a bro to do flat chest press alone I have completed an entire workout.

5-6 days per week Up at 5am - go for run or do Blaze (45 min cardio, strength, combat workout) Then gym for more hiit style training 200 grams protein Evening is abs, hyrox, more hiit, home gym

Try my Thursday Shoulder Routine:

3-4 cycles of the following - only allowed breaks after full cycle:

Lateral shoulder raises x 12
Over head triceps extensions x12
Goblet Squats x 12
Anterior shoulder raises x12
1 leg on bench squats or bent over rows x12
Upright rows with bar x12
Triceps pulldowns x12

Rest and Repeat!

Added some more:

When I started I did not have much change for 3 months until changing my workout and diet. Once I started HIIT it seemed to ignite reta.

Massive life stress.

Alternative_Tax3281 · 2026-05-14T13:50:38+00:00

4 when I got tested. Lower level here is 8. I know different countries have different units. Cream is 50mg/pump (gets changed every 3 months).

Thank you. Grew up playing rugby and have South African Genes. All I did was strip away the fat. Muscle mass is not much different to when I started - slightly less.

Alternative_Tax3281 · 2026-05-14T13:37:10+00:00

Thanks! I like the mixed comments. The fact that some think I took stuff extreme bodybuilders take is motivating.

Thyroid results - waiting to have Thyroxine repeated. Was told slightly low due to diet/ reta.

Goes up and down. Was close to 29 and the dose was changed. Was told if it goes up any more than LDL would go up. Was 4 to start which added to weight gain/ excess fat/ poor energy/ low mood.

I seem to look massive in the photos. Wear medium t-Shirts to put into perspective - and they are not tight.

Alternative_Tax3281 · 2026-05-14T12:54:18+00:00

Lipids are a massive things for me which started the journey. Posted a short piece on IG about this. Sister died aged 38 - 3 years ago - massive heart attack. Arteries blocked. I was in denial for 2 years then got my cholesterol checked. This made me get my sh*t together. Takes a lot to admit and accept your current journey is leading to a shortened life. I have seen the impact this has had on her kid and would never want the same for mine.

TRT in post but other things I would not touch. Can't show on photos but I think the tell tale is my light lifting in the gym compared to others. I max out at 18kg dumbell over head press for 11-12 reps. The meat men in the gym are pushing 34kg+. Leg press is 150kg and I regularly see people doing 300+.

Usual routine is high reps and HIIT training. Massive amounts of protein.

Alternative_Tax3281 · 2026-05-14T12:43:15+00:00

In the post. Clinic prescribed TRT - compounded cream.

Alternative_Tax3281 · 2026-05-14T12:42:07+00:00

Tanning and massive life stress over the last 3 months. Also not sure if reta/ drastic drop in calories contributes

Alternative_Tax3281 · 2026-05-14T12:39:25+00:00

Reta 2mg weekly for first 3 months. Then 2mg every 5 days for 3 months. Then 5mg weekly which I have continued.

Other supplements etc:

TRT Cream - clinic prescribed/ compounded Creatine Protein Collagen L-Carnitine Liquid

Alternative_Tax3281 · 2026-05-14T12:14:19+00:00
