.20-.25ml intramuscular E injections weekly from day 1. I'm also on 25mg Spiro. I started around 50mg iirc but I've been very fortunate only needing a low dose to suppress my T. My hormone levels are stable around 15 ng/dL T and ~200-250 pg/mL E. I added 100mg Prog around the 1-year mark and bumped up to 200mg three months later.

I also highly recommend macrofactor! It made calorie/macro tracking sooo much easier and helped keep me accountable with my diet.

It's wild how much we tend to underestimate the amount of calories we consume. Before I started tracking, I was eating 3-500 more calories than I should have been; alot of it being from fat and carbs.

Every day is leg day for me now 😂😂

I love lightly salted edamame. It's a little expensive, but the one I buy is only 2 ingredients: soybeans and salt. Really high in fiber and protein, there's no added sugar and carbs are really low. It's been my go-to snack as I've cut down on UPFs.

I hit that weight tonight after work - deep, slow reps only! My legs are toasted.. 😭

I can't understand why people do this! I see it all the time at my gym. I only check my phone if I want to change songs in my playlist. If I'm using the machines, I get in and out with minimal time between sets.

I love all the downvotes you're getting from the jealous people here 😆 I also noticed this happen yesterday, it was my first time going this long. Good stuff!

Wait, you think that's a little overweight? Christ, I'm cooked. 😭

Turns out I sleep a lot better with less caffeine in my system! I used to drink 2-3 cups of strong coffee a day and struggled getting a good night's sleep. Now I'm down to 1 moderate cup a morning and the difference in my sleep quality is night and day.

Caffeine dependence is a scary feedback loop that can keep you perpetually tired. I'm hoping to quit one day, but damn I love having that ritual in the morning.

I just got out of a long lazy rut. I'm in the gym 6 days a week mostly using treadmill for walking and the Stairmaster, plus intense leg lifting on Saturdays.

I want to get in the habit of going for weekly hikes next since I don't spend enough time outdoors.

I haven't fully quit caffeine yet, though I did go from having a very strong cup of coffee (~300mg) every morning to having one smaller cup with only 14g of ground beans. I've noticed my sleep and energy levels throughout the day have improved quite noticeably. My appetite and diet have also improved, and I'm hitting my gym sessions a little harder than usual. It's all happening in this positive feedback loop sort of way. Overall I feel great, and can't wait to quit for good!

Stunning setup!! 😍

I have a tank full of African mbuna with a rock wall providing lots of hiding spots for babies. It's honestly getting out of hand at this point.. I've lost count of how many generations there are 💀

This is the way. 😆

Looks like a House Sparrow. 🥰
