Hi. A little about me: I’m 31 years old, 180 cm tall, and weigh 108 kg. A year ago, I weighed 150 kg, and I’m still on a diet.
Until about 7 years ago, I was in relatively good shape naturally. Since my weight caused a testosterone deficiency and severe symptoms, my urologist prescribed TRT on the condition that I lose fat, which I’ve done so far (42 kg in one year).
I’d like to start slowly—while continuing to lose fat—to maintain muscle or, ideally, build muscle at the same time. I go to the gym four times a week and do cardio several times a week. My blood work is generally fine; estradiol and prolactin are slightly elevated, HDL is at the lower end of the reference range, and LDL is good.
My TRT consists of 50 mg of Testogel per day. My plan would be to take 100 mg of methenolone enanthate for 10 or 12 weeks. Once my body fat percentage is in a healthy range, I’d start a proper second cycle, but until then I want to maintain my muscle mass and possibly build some new muscle; my calorie deficit is relatively high, at 1,000–1,500 per day. If i start this cycle, i would of course do a lot more cardio to elevate my HDL Cholesterol.
I would really appreciate any advice or tips.
