Hey everyone,

Figured it was time to say hi and give a quick intro. Right now I'm at 230 lbs, and my protocol is finally coming together. I'm prediabetic, though my A1C has dropped lately — probably thanks to the rata.

My stack is Rara plus Testosterone, and I just added glow70. I've already been through the whole trial and error thing with vendors and shipping, so I'm done with the "how do I start?" stage and ready to concentrate on results lol.

Would love to compare notes with anyone else on Rata.

Can't wait to see how everyone's progress goes!
 
Before you go blasting, think about what a higher BMI means for testosterone. Most guys tolerate it fine, but the heavier you are, the greater the chance something goes wrong. That is standard medical literature, not my own take. I'm not telling you to skip it — I'm telling you to keep the doses sane, get your blood pressure and lipids in order, and monitor them daily. With a high BMI that single habit is what drives most of the trouble people run into on T, at least until you reach your weight target and your body fat sits in a healthy range.

With all that out of the way, good to have you here. Are you running a cruise or a blast with the test? Or is a doctor managing it as TRT?

Nothing else let me break below 160 — though I shed a fair amount of muscle along the way. These days I sit at 10-12% BF, so I log every calorie and track my macros. For cutting phases I now lean on reta mostly, which keeps me around 250cal beneath maintenance without much effort.
