8 Week Comp - KiwiSaffa

[Kiwisaffa]

Hi Team,

KS here, I decided to do this to see if I can get my shit together and actually commit to a fairly strict training and diet regime for an extended period of time.

I’m 43, been training on and off for 20 odd years, I’m 185cm, currently 102kg, estimate body fat of 20%.

I started TRT in June 2025, decided to self source and manage my TRT. Currently on
Total 250mg of test e per week, mon/ wed/ Fri.

Looking to up the dose to maybe 300mg for the 8 weeks, and considering Reta to help shed bf.

That’s about it for now, I’ll post pictures when logging starts.

Cheers peeps

Hey KS, good luck with the competition. Looks like you have a solid plan, 250mg probably a cruise dose of test, TRT is more 125-175mg, TRT/Cruise and Reta will get you a very nice result.

If you have not used reta before, key is to start low 0.5-1mg week for four weeks only increasing of required buy the same 0.5-1mg for another 4 weeks.

Diet wise key is protein 2g/kg of body weight
Split a through your meals, whole food carb sources, and good fats. 2-4l water daily.

Be watching along good luck!

If just running test as a cycle and coming from 250mg trt,I would run 500mg atleast bro.reta is a great addition of you are cutting but for a bulk it is counter productive.good luck bro.

Good base to start from but like @Dunstone said 250mg is more of a cruise than TRT, so bumping to 300 for 8 weeks isn’t going to change a huge amount. Your actual diet/training and consistency will do most of the work if you’re trying to drop bodyfat. I beleive you’ll respond well just tightening calories and training hard. Reta can help with appetite control but the real win will be sticking to the plan for the full 8 weeks. Good luck with it.
