Trt body recomp

I've been on testosterone replacement therapy for 9 months now and have lost 20 pounds of fat while maintaining my muscle. I gained 12 pounds initially and then had to track calories and macros to start leaning out. Have you guys noticed that it is easier to lean out and burn fat since being on trt or do you think it all has to do with diet? I can't tell if it's just my habits have changed or the trt is playing a big role in fat loss. I'm on 200 mgs of test cipionate per week btw
 
It's definitely easier IMO to burn fat on trt/a cruise. It's easier to keep muscle and ensure the weight lost is fat
 
Subbed for info. Im new on trt too and im up 15 lbs.. some muscle but mostly fat.. im gonna cut this spring so i guess I'll find out the answer to your question!
 
TRT can go a few ways, but muscle mass will always benefit

It can help fat gain in some, loss in others.

It is probably a combo of your dietary efforts and the TRT kicking in.
 
I didn't expect trt to take so long to kick in I thought the fat would melt off in the first few months. I'm just now really seeing the benefits after 8-9 months

Definitely 6+ months for me as well, longer actually because my dose got adjusted about 8 months in.

People underestimate the recovery period. Not just about returning levels to range, the re-strengthening takes time
 
Yea I think a lot of people believe once you start trt your body will recomp itself quickly and that's just not the case. I thought so too at first
 
What do you guys think about adding some extra test cyp and doing a blast and cruise? Would this be legal considering I technically have a prescription for test cyp?

I don't know about legal or illegal, but when you are prescribed something, you are prescribed a certain dosage. Taking more than that would be considered not taking your medication as it was prescribed. Someone might be prescribed a quarter of a pill of Oxycontin, but it doesn't mean they can take two and say their prescription allows them to do it.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. I'm on TRT and I'm about to start a cycle in a couple weeks. But don't fool yourself into thinking it's totally legitimate under the eyes of the law and your doctor. Everyone who does it should be aware of that before they start.

Totally this. And if you're worried about legality, why not just use one of the available prohormones, be it 1 andro, 4 andro, or epiandro? Or laxogenin, epicat...
