Welcome and good luck with the first step in your journey.

Thank you!
I am going to have a do a full update for mid November, then keep it to probably once per week from here on out and do a report every month. I will also include a little background here to show where I am at
Mid-November 2016
Lifting
Ever since starting TRT I have gone from 5'11" @ 170lbs to 6'1" @ 193-195lbs
I was especially shocked by the change in height. My doctor said the newfound presence of the hormones will allow me to make up for height I would have had given a regular testosterone level
Current lift top sets:
Bench - 225 x 6
Deadlift - 410 x 5
Squat - 300 x 8
Diet and Fitness
Have not really been paying too much attention to diet at the moment other than eyeballing for about ~200g protein/day and aiming for 3k-4k calories. I am in full bulk mode at the moment so I am not worried about excess carbohydrates or fats.
I currently lift 3x/week and do cardio on a stationary bike 2x/week
I was advised not to run by a physician because of bad cartilage in my knees, however, it does seem to be getting better with the presence of TRT.
Likewise, typically on the weekend I may end up hiking, going swimming, or playing soccer.
Style
I do not have too much to say about this, but generally I would say that overall I am much better dressed than most of my counter parts. I look great everyday but need to instill some variety from basic collard shirts and jeans and the like. I will be working on this.
Work and Finances
Currently working on two projects, alongside attending university. Both of these projects are drop-shipping eCommerce store fronts. I have found it much easier working on both of these simultaneously as I have noticed that, much like with girls, when I have more than one to work with I am much more outcome independent. This is at the moment my biggest priority as I see huge potential with these projects and would like to see them succeed. Likewise, this is also where I spend the majority of my time.
Travel
I did one weekend trip to another friend's university and it was great fun. I do not have too much available capital at the moment as most of my money is being immediately invested into my business. Once the ball is rolling in that area, however, I plan to making much more headway here.
Social Life
Crushing it here.
I was in a terrible relationship for just around a year and a half the last half of age 19 to the beginning of age 21. I am apart of the Greek system at my university, and this relationship
significantly stifled building a stronger social network.
However, objectively speaking socializing is one of the strongest points of my personality--I am an ENFJ--and have made an excellent "social recovery" since the break-up. I am currently in a social position I have always dreamed of--always have people texting me, being invited out, etc. and I honestly do not think this would have been possible without those testosterone injections.
Hobbies
Really,
really, need to work on this area. All of the activities I regularly participate in are:
-Lifting
-School
-Work
-Reading
-Socializing / Drinking
I have always felt very lacking in this department and desire to fix it. I currently own a guitar, and have found myself interested in learning boxing/martial arts at some point. Again, now that I have energy all day--TRT--I can really put my interests to work now.
I plan on scheduling out sometime to practice guitar several times per week, and then.
Other things I am interested in and will investigate:
-Gymnastics
-Dancing-Swing or Salsa
-Learning a language--100% would like to do this someday..but have not been able to completely decide on which one. Have always been drawn to Spanish, French, Chinese, and Japanese
-Film
-Photography
-Writing
Sex
Prior to my girlfriend I had only had sex with 3 girls.. with girlfriend being number 3. Since the break-up, I currently have 1 regular girl I see which I make sure to only keep to once/week. I am actively trying to find more girls to date and put into a rotation, however, this is not my biggest priority at the moment--it is my finances.
Game
Steadily working on this every week. Most of my lays have all come from my social circle, and for right now I am totally fine with that. In the Greek system at my university this works out quite nicely.
Reading
I am currently reading Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz and am halfway through it. Amazing book. I am currently doing his imagination exercise once daily for a half hour, and to be honest, this may end up being the most important book I read this year. I see a lot of potential with his exercises and his theory makes sense to me. I will probably be done with this book later this week and it will be interesting to see what changes I experience.
Random Thoughts
I plan on a lotting time into my schedule to explore hobbies amongst other things, however, for the time being nearly all of my free-time is going directly into my business project. I want this thing off the ground and running ASAP.
Lastly, I am again excited to be apart of this forum. I believe that actively participating here and continuing to update this thread will not only make me more accountable to achieving my goals, but will also motivate me to push the envelope farther each and every day.
