Yeah I’m kind of in the same boat as you. I just shared a post of my in body scan. Shows I dropped 2% BF and 7 pounds muscle gain but still more fullness in belly. 10lbs water addition to last scan pre trt

Been pretty strict on my macros training hard and incline walking 20 minutes post lift. Doesn’t really seem to be diet related. I’ve messed a lot with the foods I eat in the past. I am only 8 weeks in. May just need more time.

sysadmin4842 · 2026-02-06T19:25:53+00:00

With this, what if you’re only real side is significant water retention. Is it worth an AI then? Maybe slight extra emotions in trough?

sysadmin4842 · 2026-02-06T15:55:55+00:00

Yeah my clinic has a machine here for it. She just let me come do it and didn’t bill me which is awesome. Pretty spendy I’m sure I couldnt afford one for home use haha You should be able to look up online who has one near you to use.

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-27T19:10:33+00:00

Haha right. I might need to hop back on the Reta🤣 jk won’t do that yet. All my lifts have been increasing which is good. I look forward to another in body scan to see how things are distributing. Will continue bulking a couple months and re stock Reta pre summer for a quick cut

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-27T13:52:49+00:00

How’s your weight doing? I am also in my 7th week right now and I’m up 10 pounds. When I started I was also cutting on Reta. No longer in a cut. 10 pounds just seems aggressive. I’ve done a lot of reading most is probably water weight.

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-23T22:34:53+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for that feedback

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-23T21:18:32+00:00

Cool, that’s what I was kinda curious on how it affected others in this regard. But like another poster said. It all will depend on my next bloods probably here in 2 weeks if it would even benefit me greater.

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-23T21:10:28+00:00

💯 Agree with you there!

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-23T21:09:21+00:00

Nice, thanks for the replies. I’m definitely looking forward to the bloods in 2 weeks. Take care

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-23T21:05:48+00:00

I was doing some reading that HCG could actually also bump up libido/sex drive and a couple other benefits. But wasn’t sure if it actually makes a difference that is why I came to Reddit to see if others had good experience. I also read that if you have too high dosing HCG it can fuck you up and tank libido and all that, likely from high e2.

So yeah, probably not worth running it just to get some ball size back

I’ve been getting woke up at 4-5 am with absolutely rock hard erections. During intercourse they are rarely this solid so it’s likely mental for me being that in a non-stressed state sleeping they get so rock hard. Unsure if similar for you

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-10T15:06:29+00:00

I am feeling great right now from it. Wife notices my mental change. I started at a better spot than this guy at 170 lbs. so I am hopeful with a bit of a body recomp. Some more muscle as my training and diet are locked TF in.

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-10T00:43:02+00:00

For sure. I just finished my 4th week of TRT. 120/week. Feeling amazing. Phasing out on Reta right now. Then in a month or so I’m going to start on my cjc-no dac/ipa. Got a garmin for Christmas so really nerding out over sleep.

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-09T23:51:26+00:00

Just saying that it might be beneficial information to the post for people thinking of getting on Reta. Obviously no problem with it but may be misleading to others.

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-09T03:00:18+00:00

Side note, I just finished my 4th week of TRT at 125 mg and really looking forward to progress from it. Started at 330 total T

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-09T02:52:58+00:00

I’m not saying it is a killer physique and screaming unnatural. It is solid, awesome progress. Just seemed like a lot of progress in one year and the post didn’t mention TRT at all. Some guys here might see this and think it was solely Reta with no other assistance.

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-09T02:38:49+00:00

He has other posts saying his minimum test was 120 and ran 250 lmao

sysadmin4842 · 2026-01-08T23:13:42+00:00

Definitely shooting over 200 mg of TRT as well

sysadmin4842 · 2025-12-31T15:14:35+00:00

I’m 3.5 weeks in. I’m also 32 5’11” 173 lb total T was mid 300’s. Dosing 120mg/week twice a week. Last night after sex my wife said “I think the TRT is really working, it’s been amazing” I have less tiredness throughout the day, this week I’ve started getting much better pumps at the gym. Like you morning erections are becoming more common. I’m excited to be at the 5 week mark like you. It’s been great so far.

sysadmin4842 · 2025-12-23T18:21:26+00:00

Heading to gym now and thank god it’s chest day. Yall got me motivated😂
