I stumbled across MC doing some research into some things this forum has a lot of information about. Read some of the feedback and exchange between members and decided it was the right place for me.

A little back story. I have been weight training in some capacity or another for the past decade but oddly enough only started to take it seriously within the past 5 years. I can't explain what it was but something sort of just clicked inside my head.
Unfortunately life took some rather shitty turns for me and that is putting it very mildly. I lost my job and was homeless and living on the streets back in 2013 and I can tell you from experience that living on the streets is a guarantee for no gains. LOL. Long story shockingly short I dealt with some issues that had been holding me back for over 15-20 years and which were largely responsible for the downward spiral I took. Got tired of living that way and falling further down the rabbit hole. I stopped doing the one thing i loved most, weight training, in the process largely because i wasn't in the proper state of mind to do it and secondly because i didn't even have a home so at the time the gym was very low on my list of priorities as you might imagine.
When I was finally back in a stable environment and living in an actual house and not in the street, with a steady job, at that particular time i was much more concerned with keeping the momentum going. Consequently I didn't devote the time i needed to at the gym. I started eating everything in sight. It was a knee jerk reaction of sorts. A response to not having anything for so long and when i could finally afford it i went hog wild and ate everything i could get my hands on.
One day I looked in the mirror and decided that i was looking pretty shitty. It was then that i decided to change that and get back to my one true love: the gym.
The following is an incomplete sequence of progress pictures because i failed to take a progress photo for September. Ill just take one later this month on the 15th of October.
Goal: Regain all of the size that i had lost and then some and then once I am comfortable with that size, focus on cutting.
The progress thus far is attributable to eating 6 meals a day. Chicken breast, 1 cup of brown rice, steamed vegetables; 6x. I eat that everyday, without exception. I am continuing to grow and cut body fat which is good. I haven't started checking body fat %. I mostly rely on how i look in the mirror.
Compounds:
500mg/wk Test E.

**Its worth mentioning here that I have cycled many times in the past but I was completely off for that shit hole period in my life starting back in 2013. I didn't get back ON until June of this year. What I have discovered is that there seems to be a lot of muscle memory there and the fact that i have been off for so long, my body seems to be soaking up the gear nicely. Anyways, 500mg/wk of Test E is very moderate for me. I have other gear to throw in but i busted wanted to try a T only cycle, coupled with diet and exercise just to do it.
