A little background info - as a natty, I went from morbidly obese, to doing a natty mens physique competition at 140 lbs. I had a coach and it took a me almost of year of consistent dieting. Fast forward 3 years later, here I am trying to cut weight / possibly into a prep. The difference is, I am now on trt.. I have been trying for the last 8 weeks but have not made much progress. The 8-12 weeks before that, I was slowly dropping carbs, but the last 8ish or so weeks I would consider myself in a deficit...

Basically, I have had to drop calories so much to try to get progress that I am eating NOTHING right now, compared to what I was eating during prep as a natural, and don't feel like I am losing fat.. the scale is going UP. I recently (1 wk ago) uped my test from my TRT dose because I wanted to become "supratherapetuic".

Even if I am gaining muscle from TRT dose test.. don't you think the fat lass should supersede the muscle gain and the scale should be going down? I feel like I have been stuck at 170lbs forever..

I guess I really don't know how to go about prep when on gear..
