[QUOTE="busgalloway, post: 101865, member: 16519"] I'm like 29 but I've only been in the gym maybe 2 years. I started with compound lifts and got stronger but also fatter, my first cut made me lose way too much strength, but I still looked and felt a lot better than before. So now that I've been on TRT for almost 8 months, I'm stopping the routine I had where I was going every single day and doing small exercises. Even though I saw some gains, it wasn't that good for what I was doing. Now I'm trying Stronglifts 5x5 so I lift heavier. I don't know if this is the one of the ones you did OP but it seems better for me than my original compound lifting routine I learned at my gym. I don't think there is a sure-fire method of exercise frequency as all our bodies condition differently, but I think compound lifts 3 days a week or every other day is good. Before I had two big problems: my testosterone was way too low, and I was too inconsistent sticking to my routine. If you need to fix those OP, I would fix them. If your routine is too demanding of your time you may need to tone it down but at least have 3 days per week to make progress. If you don't stick to the routine that doesn't mean it won't work, it means you didn't follow your plan, so try again. The one biggest problem for me now that my testosterone is higher, is that I don't get enough calories to actually build muscle very fast. If I eat clean, I can eat as much as I can stomach and have a protein shake with lots of peanut butter it's just barely more than I need. My friend had suggested a mass-gainer to be sure I get the calories but I will wait a while to see if that's necessary now that I'm on TRT. As for cutting, if you're on TRT that can help preserve muscle mass, but also what I've learned hear is that lipotropics might help when you cut. The most accessible I think are vitamin B-12 lozenges maybe 2500mcg a day, but there are also others that clinics like Defy and online pharmacies offer. [/QUOTE]
