I’m 32 and considering a short testosterone cycle to gain lean muscle, but I don’t want to be dependent on TRT for life. Has anyone successfully run a cycle, recovered natural testosterone production afterward, and maintained most of their gains? What factors affect recovery and long-term hormone health?

End of the day your total calorie intake determines whether you gain or lose weight while adequate protein supports muscle retention the combination usually beats choosing one over the other.

A 300-500 calorie deficit with sufficient protein has always been the sweet spot for me.

I used to think eating more protein meant I didn’t have to track calories learned that lesson the hard way.
