Anyone else notice the first 48 hours after injection are the strongest for appetite control?

TRT definitely helped me keep muscle while cutting, but it didn’t magically uncover abs. Still had to get lean.

I remember being 160 in college with no abs because I had almost no muscle. Fast forward fifteen years and I’m 182 with visible abs because I actually built my core and overall muscle mass.

My DEXA had me at 10.8%. Home scale said 16%. Guess which one I trust.

First cycle I thought I’d magically get shredded. Reality check: diet still ran the show.

At 42 years old I needed to reach around 12% before they really showed. Recovery wasn’t the issue. Consistency was.

Bro, vacation lighting had me believing I was stage ready. Got home and reality hit. π€£

Old school guys at my gym always said, “Build the abs first, then uncover them.” Turned out they were right.

I competed once and stage lean is a completely different world. My abs were visible around 12%, but true contest conditioning was closer to 5-6%, and I never want to stay there.

Fair point about body fat over pounds. Two people can both weigh 180 and look like completely different humans.
