Steroids help with my TRT planning

52 years old and 240lbs and 5’9’’. I workout 2-3x a week and eat like 3500 cals. I’ve been using TRT for 6 months. I microdose test E and I do 250mgs a week total of it. I’m not a big fan of using it though as I haven’t been losing weight on it as I thought would happen from the commercials. Is my dosing wrong? My goal is fat loss primarily.

250mgs is a good trt dose but you should add some primo to it with n2guard

if you want fat loss then you are good using some GW with it. that is what i would do

lower your dose. if its high quality test from para pharma you won't need more then 150mgs a week

bro all in with napsgear and geneza pharma. i like the TRT dose as well

domestic supply has good options. you can consider adding some anavar here and there too

try some TRT but go lower dose. maybe 150mgs a week would be ample

i would consider adding some GLP'1's to your stack. this will help fat loss

bros do some tirz or reta in the future. they both work great!

i think it would make sense to run some your trt at a more proper dose. i think 100-150mgs is the sweet spot

You're likely gaining weight, because you're retaining water. Either lower your dose or you need to add an AI.

Definitely too much on the trt. 250 mg a week is enough to generate a lot of water retention, especially at your size.

So not TRT then?

The dosage for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is generally appropriate and often results in increased muscle gains compared to fat gains. It's important to note that testosterone can cause temporary water retention, particularly in the early stages of therapy. This extra fluid may lead to a bloated feeling and can add a few pounds on the scale. In such cases, I recommend using an aromatase inhibitor to help prevent estrogen-related side effects.

It's also important to understand that TRT not only reduces fat but also alters the way your body stores it. Some individuals may lose fat in areas like the face or limbs, while gaining it in other areas, such as the abdomen. This change in fat distribution can create the illusion of weight gain. I suggest reconsidering your diet and alternating your training routine to address this.
As a potential solution, you might want to explore using the peptide Semaglutide to help reduce body fat percentage.

Any why micro-dose?
