Summer Shape for 2025 - Lets go! [33y.o] [TRT+]

[ElPhil]

Hello folks and like minded people

After a lot of worries and held backs, i decided to give it a go and order for the first time ever.
Today my Primos arrived and i wanna get into the best summer shape for next year i've ever been

Started my TRT on Feb due to severe depression and energy issues, currently am at 200mg Test E injecting E3D + 250IU Weekly HCG (split into Monday / Wed / Fr).

Starting Stats
Im currently at 87kg with 178cm height .
tarting weight in Feb was 77kg so i put on around 10kg but surely a bit of fat as i ate up to 4200kcal daily.

Starting Plan
With blood markers coming in soon (most up to date) i have the following plan:

Workouts 4 x per week AB (A : Push Legs Pull Push | B: Pull Legs Push Pull)
Steady State Cardio 5 times x week (fasted, 30 min with 120 to 130 max HFR)
10k Steps minimum Daily

Calorie Intake 2700 / 2800. ~300g Carbs | ~200g Protein | 70g fats

Goal set
Visible Abs. This is by no means a heavy cut. I would expect this to be a controlled recomposition
Here comes Primos into play.
I will inject Primo together with my Test , will start at 100mg /weekly split into E3D as well.
Will monitor my E2 and SHBG accordingly, and if Primo drops my E2 too much, will bump up the Test to 250 or lower Primo.

Pictures will follow and i will do cronological Week by Week comparison pics and attach them here alongside bloodwork and everything that comes with it.

Happy for feedback or follows!

Hi.

I have several things I would like to say.

First of all, good luck with your cut. If I understand correctly, this will be your first real deficit of your life?
The first is the worst and the least successful . You're going to experience hunger and panic lol

Then I don't understand the idea of why do a trt just for a depression? This is a big mistake. A TRT is justified by blood tests. And 200mg is not a TRT, people have to stop with that .
75-100mg is a TRT.

Then honestly 100mg of primo is like taking nothing. You'll be disappointed with the result.

Thanks for your feedback.
Bloodwork was the baseline of course. I dealt with above's issues for around 2 years, blood markers without hormones were fine.
I checked hormones, LH and FSH low end, overall test 8nmol (below ref range), Free test 4.1pg.

I was having real issue due to a massive lack of testosterone. So its actually been correctly treated.

and with 200mg i was always on the same point of view, until i worked with my doc (TRT is prescribed) and figured that even with 200mg per week, my through values are:
Test: 14.8nmol
Free Test: 11.5pg
E2: 26pg

That means at peak times, i still am at the natural range.
One of the main factors is that my SHBG naturally (before TRT) was at 48nmol already, so not only were My LH and FSH producing not enough, the bit that came along was actually bound.


I agree with you, many people take it freely and just go for it.
Me and my doctor monitored dosage adjustments from Feb to now Nov.

Turns out it actually really is different for everyone!
I will post an update from now every Monday!

PS:
Ah and no, not my first "cut", I know that hunger feeling. Im trying to limit that by not going too deep into a deficit, still fueling enough for muscles.
And from several other folks i read that even 100mg will support with muscle preservation as well as a drier look.
