Brian's Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Log

Brian's HRT Log

Here's the beginning of an Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Log from an old, fat, lethargic man. (That would be me.)

My symptoms started several years ago and got progressively worse. I never had ED, but I think that's the only symptom I didn't have. I felt great for most of my life, so I know what I'm missing and can't wait to get back there.

I received my protocol today from Maximus after almost a year long roller coaster ride with 3 different doctors. I felt like it was Christmas morning as I opened the package. I also got my diet from 3J yesterday and had the little lady fill the fridge today with everything I'll be eating. BTW, this diet consists of SO much food that I think the Sewer Department is going to end up raising my bill. But I digress.

I haven't been able to touch a weight for the last 5 months due to chronic sciatica. This past Saturday was the 1st painless day I've had since June. I've had no pain for 3 days now, so I'm ready to hit the gym tomorrow.

Here's some beginning stats:

49 Years Old
6' 3"
237 lbs.
Chest 47"
Belly 42"
Waist 39"
21% BF (Hand Held Electronic Analyzer)

Labs as of 10/3/2011

Total Test 205
Free Test 6.7
Total Estrogen 221
SHBG 19.8

Protocol:

200mg Cyp E5D
250 units Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) E5D
1mg Anastrozole E3D
25mg Danazol ED
75mcg Synthroid ED (from my GP)

My goals for the next 3-4 months are to lose 20 lbs of fat and replace it with 20 lbs of muscle. That should put me around 12.6% BF. I'm not looking to get big. I just want to get lean and hard.

I don't want to be called a chicken shit, limp dick, candy ass who was afraid to post a before picture without the after picture to go with it. I may have Low T and enough estrogen to grow a vagina, but I still have enough sack left to post my before picture.

Sounds like you have a solid game plan in place bro! With Chip and 3j on your side I'm sure you will reach your goals in no time! Keep us posted!

 

[cashout]

Best of luck! I'll be interested in following your progress.

 

[CHIP WADOWSKI]

TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST.... I THINK YOU HAVE A REAL GOOD "FRAME" TO WORK WITH AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU PROGRESS. GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON THE TEAM!

 

[Packgus]

welcome to the team bro! you kinda remind me of me when I first started this treatment.

have faith, work hard, and stick to the program and good things will come.

good luck!

Can be a challenge to lose fat and add muscle at the same time.
Best of luck to you... You couldn't have asked for a better team to help you meet those goals !! Keep us updated

Thanks Flex. I normally respond well to diet and exercise, but it's been a while since I've tried. I fully believe the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) will give me the attitude & energy to get me where I want to be.

Best of luck! I'll be interested in following your progress.

Thanks Cashout. I don't have the dedication to reach your level of fitness, but I do draw motivation from it. Somehow I think I'd have a difficult time getting back to my younger days with a 32" waist and 9% BF. But I can dream!

TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST.... I THINK YOU HAVE A REAL GOOD "FRAME" TO WORK WITH AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU PROGRESS. GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON THE TEAM!

Chip Chip Chip. What can I say that hasn't already been said about you? I have the highest amount of respect for you and what you've accomplished. Thanks for spending your time with me. Within an hour of talking to you yesterday I had all my gear set up and ready to go. I also had my calender filled out for the next few weeks so I won't forget what to take and when. It's been a long time since I've been this excited about anything.

I am completely confident that your protocol and advice will have me back in action in a short time. When I become living proof I'll become the biggest mouth piece you have. (Next to yours, of course.)

I took my 1st Danazol & Anastrozole as well as pinned my Cyp. I had a placebo affect all day. Here's a pic of me pinning the Cyp. Damn that's a big needle. Are you sure that's the right size?

THAT LOOKS LIKE THE NEEDLE THAT THEY USUALLY SEND TO RECONSTITUTE THE Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) WITH? I THINK YOU MADE A BOO BOO ON THAT ONE...

BASED ON YOUR ORDER, YOU SHOULD BE USING THE 3ML SYRINGE WITH THE 23G 1 1/2' PIN. YOU SHOULD BE "DRAWING" YOUR TEST INTO THE THE SYRINGE WITH THE BIG 18G PIN, THEN UNSCREWING IT AND REPLACING IT WITH THE FRESH 23G 1 1/2' PIN.

BUTT (A LITTLE PUN INTENDED), YOUR INJECTION SITE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

Actually I was just kidding. That's a syringe for injecting spices into a turkey. My sense of humor gets me in trouble sometimes. But thanks for the compliment on my injection site.

Thanks Packgus. I can use all the motivation you can dish out.

Thanks to you too DJ. I know from previous experience my workout routine should add muscle. I worked out for about 90 days (Then my sciatic flared up and I had to quit.) when I 1st went on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) (with no ancilliaries). Over that time period I estimated a 10 lb loss in fat with a corresponding gain in muscle of 10 lbs. My pants all got looser at the waist and my shirts got tighter. All of this was done while eating what I consider a bad diet. I've gone backwards since then and my diet has gotten worse, so I'm almost back to where I started in February. Of course the true Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) protocol I'm now on, along with 3J's diet plan, will make my fat loss and muscle gain substantially easier. I hope.

PHEW...! I ACTUALLY DID HAVE A CLIENT CALL ME UP ONE TIME AND TELL ME THAT HE POPPED HIMSELF IN THE ASS WITH AN 18G 1 1/2' NEEDLE! HE TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG HE'D BE ABLE TO MAKE IT ON testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) IF HE HAD TO INJECT WITH THAT SIZE NEEDLE EVERY TIME! HE WAS NEW, EXCITED, ETC., BUT I ALMOST SHIT MYSELF WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT. HE VERY QUICKLY REALIZED THAT HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO INJECT WITH AN 18G PIN! OUCH!!!

lol... i just had an 18g put in my shoulder for a cortisone injection.. thats a big mofo

Best of luck. I agree with Chip, that's one of the best looking low T "before" photos I've ever seen....

Based on the size of the 18g needles I have, I'd say that turkey needle was about a 5g. There's no chance I would stick that thing in my ass. The whole in the tip is big enough to suck up jello pudding.

Oh quit it...you guys are making me blush.

I used to walk around at 10% BF while eating pizza, hamburgers, and soda pop while not even training. So to me I look like a beached whale.

I assumed I'd always have 6-pack abs. I'm not that stupid anymore....but just barely.

Just wait till this dude hits "BeastMode"! Here's how it's all gonna shake out.... MOTIV8ED is gonna spend the next two weeks getting used to his newfound, rock hard erections, while his vaginal cavity seeling shut.... He'll start inserting his crankshaft into his girls THROTTLEBODY, and be laying the pipe like an Alaskan pipeline worker! His poor girl is gonna be begging for mercy, but we all know that he'll NEVER let the brotherhood down by submitting to her squeamish whims! He'll keep hammering away till she finally smacks him across the face and begs him to stop! But in true Maximus Cyborg fashion, he'll keep going till HE'S DONE! AS WELL HE SHOULD! But the scary thing about all of this is that he will only be TWO WEEKS INTO THERAPY! Then, all of a sudden, about 4-6 weeks in, after he has redefined the meaning of SEXUAL PERFORMANCE, AS WE ALL HAVE, HE WILL LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND REALIZE THAT HE IS IN MOTHERFUCKING BEASTMODE!!!!!!!! He will stop at NOTHING to MAXIMIZE the full potential of his therapy! HE WILL BE A FUCKING MACHINE, and a fucking machine! I could continue on about what lies ahead for MOTIV8ED, but I'm going to leave the rest of the story for him to tell!!

Damn Chip...I think my pecker grew 3" just thinking about what's to come. I'm up to 4" now.

I can't wait for all this to happen. My wife is in for trouble.

 

[cjw2021]

well i know my love life has turned into a danielle steel novel (no i dont read that shit). you got a good protocol and good docs so good luck bro. chip's not making this stuff up. I'm thinking about decorating my bedroom with leopard skin and jungle trees. Not too long ago I banged this girl for like 3 hours straight back to back like 3 times. that's what a woman subconsciously refers to as love.

 

[Motiv8ed]

It sounds like I need to step up the cardio workouts so I can keep up with my soon-to-arrive virility. By the way, I already have a room with leopard carpet, a leopard painting, leopard skin lamp shade, a tree, wooden masks on the wall, etc. We call it the "Jungle Room".

Here's my 2 week update.

I've been on cyp for about 10 months, but it's only been 2 weeks on a proper protocol and diet. I think the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) has started to take effect in the old giblets since they appear to be hanging a little lower. I still wake up everyday at full mast, but I was already used to that.

I'm not sure if the arimadex has kicked in yet, but again, it's only been 2 weeks. And my total E was at 221, so it may take a while to knock that down to a decent level.

I have to blow a load at least once a day. Otherwise it feels like I've got 10 lbs of nuts in a 5 lb bag. It's a mental thing. My nuts aren't really that full. I just have this feeling that there's too many swimmers in the pool and some of them need to get out. I guess that means I'm a horn dog.

I had 3J refine my diet a couple times. The 1st thing was to change an item or 2 that I didn't like to eat. Plus, it was more food than I could actually consume in a day. The 2nd change was to make it more of a fat burning diet than a muscle building diet. I've been having problems with lower back pain for 6 months and I felt it was more important to lose some belly fat to help alleviate some of that pain.

BTW, 3J turned me on to Greek Yogurt mixed with some sugar free jam. It's like eating strawberry sherbert. You guys should try it...it's fantastic.

Anyhow, I've lost 4 pounds and almost an inch off my belly. It's a good start.

I started doing fasting cardio in the morning a few days ago. My back has started to feel better, so I worked out on Sunday for the 1st time in 6 months. I had my 2nd workout today. I'm just doing 1 set per body part using a light weight for 15-20 reps. The plan is to do this for a couple weeks before I start increasing weight and sets. I definitely don't want a setback this early in the game.

I still don't have the mood or energy at this point, but I'm doing my best to be patient. I've read enough posts here to know it's just a matter of time. Looking forward to it.
