Sorry, but hard truth for you.  Unless you need trt because you are actually suffering, trt is not something I would ever go on thinking it is going to give me good gym gains.   In the first pic, I actually had low t and did not know it.   Like, I had the test levels of a 12 year old girl.   A few years earlier I suffered a broken neck and TBI.  That prompted me to get back in the gym.   I kept wondering why the better shape I got in, I still felt terrible.   Suffered extreme fatigue.   I could sleep for 12 hours and still be falling asleep in the middle of the day.  Some other symptoms also, but I never suffered any sexual sides.   Dr finally tested my hormones and we figured it out.   TRT is not magic anything, unless you are suffering symptoms, and then it can give you your normal life back.

Peak natty status srs.

Will update later once I find the pics. I used to be a fat hairy kunt before I started getting my schit together.

Def post some pics.  Love seeing what others have done!    Came to realize I am pretty blessed genetically in my 20's.  Gained over 40lbs my first year of training.  Yes 100% truth, and not even a whey supplement.

Pic of me at 18 and at 21





I worked out till my mid 20s and missed about a decade.  Stayed stocky but was about 30lbs over weight.   First day back in the gym could still bench 300lbs and my first squat day I put on 405 for the hell of it.  Yes stupid.

First pic is me out of shape and then next pic is a years progress after I dropped the extra fat.






Being 'non nattie' for me is something I fully disclose.  But I have been what most people would say is very conservative.  I am on script and have bumped a few times.  100% truth, I could not even tell.   Maybe I just am not willing to do enough, but I never could handle losing strength or size, so I have gone about this continuing to train like I am nattie.

It has made a difference.  I would say over the past 7 years I have been able to be about 10lbs heavier WHILE being lean.  But this is 7 years apart.  Nattie me top, and last year below






One last one.  Me at 21 and 47 26 years apart.   I had much better aesthetics when I was younger.   All my training was power based so I am much more blocky in the waist now.   It is only the last few years I have decided to just be more lean and not chase lifting heavy weight.

Yep, did not miss a workout.  Lots of stretching.   Taking it very light on back for a bit.  Did standing OHP yesterday with 135 so lower back is not too bad off, but have to be careful.


Lets see some more pics!

More like 9 years but here we go. I started exercising cuz I was really fat. I slimmed down, tried to bulk, got even fatter. It was an up and down struggle for years. Failed a lot, learned from my mistakes, propped myself back up. I've learned a lot in the past decade.

Best shape of my life headed into my mid 30s

I had a good bit of bumps on my upper back, but mostly legs for some reason..

No reddish skin. I actually have really good skin, but it is middle of winter and have no color. I tan well and still get in the sun quite a bit. No real wrinkles. Just good genes. I have seen that before also. Here is a pic from the summer with a little color in me. The lighting is harsh for sure in the basement. But 10 years ago, I was much 'softer'. I have spent the last 7 years getting steadily leaner. In the right light, I am almost grainy lean since my sub-q has been low for so long.

But I have seen what you mean about the beet red looking dudes. I think that is people who are gassed to the hilt. I am a hairy dude. Italian heritage to thank for that. I trim my back, shoulders and chest. In the winter I get ingrown hairs. In the summer, if I get in the sun I dont get them. But no skin issues. If I did not have the gray hair most people think I am 10 years younger.

Here is a pic from the summer with a little color on me in the same lighting.

Lift. srs. Never did any iso work. I always trained for strength. And always had very big shoulders even as a natty. I could always row what I could bench. Before I fractured my spine in a car accident 3 years ago, I would row 405. Yates style row not a pendalay. But I could pendalay 315 for 12-15 with no issue.

I have too many injuries to train for strength the last few years. But I have still not really done any iso stuff, besides skull crushers and preacher curls. Rest of my workouts are always multi-joint. BIG fan of standing OHP for shoulder development also.


Frankly I dont buy most of what people promote. As a nattie, I trained like guys did in the 40's and 50's. I trained for strength. Either do more reps with same weight over time, or add weight. The most critical part of that was to also be eating for your goals. That is where most people fail. I believe that, if there are gains to be had, that if you are not gaining at least 1/2 lb per week, you are wasting your time. The scale MUST move to make progress after year 3-4 in the gym. Recomping is just stupid and a waste of time. I have gained and lost 100's of lbs. My first 5 years back in the gym, there was never 2 weeks where I weighed the same. I was either eating a 250cal surplus, or 750cal deficit. I would run surplus cals 4-5 months and see the scale shift approx 30 lbs. Including glycogen and water shift. Then I would reverse for 12 weeks and start over.

It was fuking hard. But it is the only way to continue progress after a certain point. Once I realized I cant make any more progress, even as a non nattie for what I was willing to do, I just decided to 'stay in shape'. I no longer eat up and down. But my workouts now are not how I built my physique. My training now is like a pu$$y compared to how I used to train. I can maintain size and strength on very little now. Being the strongest is no longer important to me, and I just look to enjoy life these days. Stay fit and be healthy.

I hold out hope there are others out there getting it. Love to see and share in others journeys! Post em up!

My next cut begins March 1. That's been my routine for the past few years and it's been nice. I tend to take it easy in the fall and winter, make family meals, not track as religiously, change up the training, and wind up gaining a good 10 pounds from June-February. I then do a 12 week cut March, April, and May and wind back up to where I want to be for the summer. It's a great routine as I work my way into my golden years of bodybuilding

Every cut cycle, I get slightly more lean. I find it a bit uncomfortable, though. It's nice being full of glycogen and not constantly depleted and flat.

Hope there are some guys out there training, if not, maybe we will get more deals on weight equipment for our home gym
