[QUOTE="wkellyd, post: 141842, member: 38521"] Hey Guys, I am a 43 yr old obese guy who always lifted weights ever since my teenage years, but never achieved the "lean" look. I know abs are built in the kitchen but it seemed no matter how good of a diet I was on, I just couldn't lose the weight. I was having all the symptoms of low T- Fatigue, depression, losing strength, sex drive gone, and moody. I had blood work done in 2017 and my T was 358. The doctor I was seeing wanted me to try 25mg daily of Clomid. My T shot up to just above 1000, but I didn't feel any difference. As time went on, my T slowly came down again. I decided to see a new doctor in December 2018. My blood results were Total T: 487 LH: 6.7 FSH:5.8 E2:38.7 T3:32 T4:8.4 TSH: 1.531 He decided to up the clomid to 50 mg a day and gave me 1/4 mg of Arimidex to take 1X a week and retested blood 6 weeks later. The results were Total T: 1118 Free T: 19 LH: 7.8 FSH:8.7 E2: 62.1 T3:33 T4: 10.1 TSH: 1.827 SHBG: 54.7 I told him I didn't feel any better, despite the level of my T. He prescribed me .20mg of 200 mg T-cyp. to be taken subQ 3x a week (MWF) in the morning for a weekly total of 120mg. Also Arimidex was upped to 1/4mg 3x a week (MWF) in the evening.
