10 Weeks on TRT - Get Fit Over 40

My last update was almost 5-6 weeks ago so I guess I better get a TRT progress video out for everyone. To be honest I noticed the most changes after around the first month and then things slowed down and progress is still happening but much slower now. I am only on 100mg of Testosterone per week with the goal to be i the middle natural Testosterone ranges so I don't expect to get super jacked on this fairly low TRT dose, the goal is really to feel better and at least have a chance in the gym getting stronger and being able to recover between workouts.

When I started my TRT I was around 185 pounds and fairly lean I would say, right now I am around 192-194 depending on the day and I am still relatively lean but I do want to get closer to 190 with perhaps a bit more muscle but I would like to get rid of some of the hard to lose fluff in the mid section.

I feel pretty good overall, even my shoulders are coming around and my overall energy and mood are good, sex drive I would say is back to about the way it was but not like when I was 20 ;)

I finish the video off with some update posing with a couple comparisons to when I started 10 weeks ago so you can hopefully see some positive changes...

 

TRT 5 Weeks In - How Do I Feel

A week back I made more of a physique update video after being on TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) for a month now (Dose of 100mg per week). I didn't really go over how I am feeling now where I talk about stuff like mood, energy, motivation, sleep, mental cognition, sex drive. These factors are just as important or maybe even more important than what the TRT does for me physically and for sure need to be talked about and that's just what I do in this video.

 

TRT One Month In

A month into my TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) and there have been some changes for sure! During this time I did do a 2 week mini cut in preparation for my Cruise trip, damage control if you will. Of course the cruise itself was a lot eating and so this too is a factor but I am going to say that the mini cut did offset some of the eating for the most part but not all of it as I feel I am up a little bit up in body fat from pre TRT.

I started out at 185 pounds, two weeks in I was 190 pounds but again keep in mind I was mini cutting all that time. I then went on my Cruise and of course gained some weight, pretty sure I hit 202 on the ship but bounced back down to around 195-197 after a few days back eating a bit better.

So now 1 month into my 100mg per week TRT and I am sitting right around 196-198 for sure holding more muscle than before TRT and I do feel stronger in the gym. I want to trim off some of the fat and get down to around the 190 mark as my goal now is not so much size but rather health and if I can be a lean 190 pounds, I know for my frame that will look good and not be to strenuous on my body or require a lot of work to hold on to.

So for now I will stay the program and see where it takes me, I am happy so far with how I feel and the results I am getting in the gym and how I am looking. I will have an upcoming appointment with my TRT doctor to make sure my Testosterone is hitting the mark he has set for me of around 22 nmol/L. I may need to make an adjustment afterwards but for now things are feeling a lot better.

 

Post Cruise Physique Update

So I am not going to lie, I for sure gained some weight on my cruise as was expected! At one point on the cruise ship I was up over 10 pounds hitting 202 pounds, I am now back down to around 195 pounds which is still 5 pounds over my weight before the Cruise.

I am actually pretty happy with this, as I feel I lost close to 5 pounds of fat leading up to the cruise and so my weight now is more of a refection of what the TRT is really doing as my pre TRT weight was around 185 pounds. Not all of the 10 pounds is muscle, but some for sure is, the rest will be water weight and maybe just a bit of fat but I am feeling stronger and I feel the work I am doing in the gym is now paying off more.

I do want to get down closer to 190 pounds and be a bit leaner, I am fairly happy with my muscle mass now but of course I don't mind gaining a bit more muscle as long as I keep my weight down around that 190 pound range, so being leaner is for sure a priority...

I did try a different camera for this video as I was not 100% happy with the Hovercam X1 video as it seemed to be a bit grainy in the indoor lighting I was using. I should of stuck with the Hovercam X1 for continuity reasons as the Insta360 I used with the 1 inch lens I feel softened the look of the video and blew out the contrast a lot which does not make for a good comparison.

I will probably switch back to the Hovercam X1 for my 1 month post TRT Update Video I plan to shoot tomorrow, so hopefully I can properly represent the changes that have been taking place over the past 4 weeks.

TRT Two Weeks In

Sorry for the lateness of posting this video, I made it on September the 25th and left on vacation on September the 26th till October the 3rd just yesterday.

I did shoot the video exactly 2 weeks after starting my 100mg per week doctor prescribed TRT program. You can checkout my day one video to see what may or may not have changed in the two weeks being on TRT. Two weeks is not a very long time as more noticeable changes will generally take place around the 1 month in mark so don't expect a lot of change in this video.

When I started I weighed just slightly over 185 pounds and at the time of this video I was closer to 190 pounds so around a 4-5 pound weight difference. Keep in mind I have been dieting in preparation for a cruise I had planned so I wanted to do a bit of damage control knowing I would be eating in excess on the cruise. Even on a calorie restricted diet I still managed to gain almost 4 pounds that I attribute to the Testosterone with potentially some muscle gain but I am sure some water gain as well.

Overall I am feeling better, with more drive and a better outlook on life in general. My sex drive has been improving and brain fog is not as bad. My shoulders are still hurting a bit but I figure it will take a some time for them to return to how they felt before.

A bit of an update as to my weight currently just over 3 weeks into TRT and I am now 200 pounds but much of this weight gain is from the cruise eating as I did not hold back too much... I am sure some is water, some may be muscle and some is for sure fat. I did workout almost every day while on the cruise as I wanted to make sure I am being as anabolic in my activities as possible and I do feel I am getting stronger and there is muscle increase. I do want to get back down closer to 190 pounds and lose some body fat but I am not in a hurry.

I will be making another update video at the 1 month into TRT point which will be this upcoming Monday October the 9th so stay posted for that to see what an additional 2 weeks and a bunch of over eating looks like while being on 100mg of TRT.
