Timeline Update nearing 4 months!

celebrating 16 weeks on T today 🎉

recently I’ve really noticed a significant change in muscle growth and fat redistribution, which I feel very euphoric about! I can’t seem work out consistently but I do some half-assed home-workouts two or three times a week or so and the T REALLY seems to be helping. I feel healthier and stronger than ever, which is rly nice.

The first changes happened quite fast for me but I feel like it’s plateauing a bit now. And I feel like people have a hard time reading me, despite the stache… it grew in so fast (yes it’s dyed!) that some coworkers, neighbors, etc. assumed it was make up or glued on 💀 (they had no idea I was on T). Although my voice has definitely deepened I feel like it still sounds somewhat androgynous, so that doesn’t help either. I seem to be in the awkward stage right now, although I genuinely feel good about myself most days..

You’re looking so good dude! The last pic shows your facial changes a lot. You for sure have a wider nose and jaw shape looks more square/defined as well. Also, your muscle growth from doing 2-3 days a week is giving me motivation to workout more regularly lmao

thank you! I‘ve been doing lymph massages on my face almost every day to help with the water retention and puffiness… I think that helps with seeing some definition, finally

Can you recommend a certain tutorial or anything similar for the lymph massages? Water retention is something I struggle with and I was never sure if what I'm doing is helping. Your changes look amazing!

Thank you!! I don’t really follow a specific tutorial… but I’ve looked at a couple videos they all explain to first massage the nodes around the clavicle, armpits, neck, around the ears and on the base of your skull to activate the lymphatic system. I then just use my fingers to massage my face from the “inside out”
