A year ago I retired from a job which I'd held for almost thirty years. With retirement came the time and freedom to hit the gym on a much more regular basis. When working, something was always coming up which I allowed to interfere with my gym schedule. Now, I had no excuse for not working out.
I should have jumped right into working out, but I didn't. I took a three month break from doing anything at all besides enjoying the summer. Once fall hit, I settled into a good solid workout routine, going to the gym six days a week and working out for anywhere from 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours each day. I got plenty of rest; at least 8 hours a night and often more. -Been eating three solid healthy meals a day plus a protein drink before and another one after each workout.
My doctor put me on TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). Although I started on Androgel, I later switched to Testosterone Cypionate. Presently I self inject a little over a half ml a week. The therapy seems to be going well.
When I retired, my stats were 5 11, 195 lbs. 34 waist, 45 chest, 15 ½ biceps, 24 quads, 16 calves, 17 neck. Today my stats are 5 11 220 lbs. 34 waist, 47 chest, 17 biceps, 27 quads. 16 calves, 17 ½ neck. I don't know my body fat percentage, but my abs look more defined than they did a year ago. However, if I was to guess, I'd say my body fat percentage either stayed about the same or slightly increased. I am sixty-five years old.
