I started back in the gym in April of 2022. After 6 months, I decided to jump on TRT (late October). I started with the TRT dosage, but quickly ramped it up to 400 mg/wk. I've only been injecting test for a month now; early November I started ramping up. When I started, my goal was to lose fat and get under 20%.

My gym has body scanning equipment that tells me my fat and muscle make-up. I scan every month or so. In the months before test injections, I was losing fat pretty well, but I was also losing muscle. This happened every month, except the first where I gained muscle and lost fat, and one other month where I gained a marginal amount of muscle but also a bit of fat. In just one month of injections, I lost over 5 lbs of fat and gained 2.5 lbs of lean mass. Now I only wish I would have started at least a couple of months ago. I feel my gym time is paying out dividends a lot better now. I feel energized and confident.

I'm happy with my progress. It annoys me that it seems like this hidden gem (testosterone) has been hidden from me my whole life. I used to diet and exercise really hard, and it seemed like I was at a plateau. Then I started to lose some motivation. If I ran a cycle then, I probably would have kept it up a bit better.

I don't understand why insurance companies don't cover TRT when it has helped me out so much, and has prevented the insurance company from spending money on me in other areas. It feels like the world is against men.

I just wanted to give some of my opinions and share my progress with you all.
