So a bit of backstory, for my first post. I used to get bullied alot for being skinny and it really smacked my confidence, I had a crazy time when i left home wrong crowds, jumping from house to house, drugs , drink not much sex who wants to **** a smelly druggie right? fast forward a few years and I've got 2 kids a steady job (shit pay 18k a year maybe?) and a crazy shit relationship, and I'm getting bullied at work still for being skinny, So i decide to start going to the gym, diet, I think my lowest weight was around 62kg and after a year or so of constant gym diet, i decided to do a test cycle, went really well put on some good size, this was around 2018? after that I left that relationship after finding out i was having another child(didnt want) and fell into an awesome relationship along with a better job (30k a year) passed my test and got a nice little car, married etc etc, then covid set my training right back after starting a TTM cycle i was around 4 weeks in when the gyms shut, started smoking again lost size strength blah blah fast forward some years into 2022 i decided again to start dieting started going to the gym again I work 12 hour shifts and they rotate days and nights weekends whatever but ive gotten into going at least 5-6 times a week, decided to jump on cycle again which brings us to today, I'm currently half way through week 4 on test e 500 and deca 300 (did not
kick start with anything) also taking hcg and arimidex (which i may need to bump the dose a little) training using PPL and currently on around 3800 calories(been slowly bumping them over the weeks)

Below is a picture of me at probably one of my worst points i think this was taken at the beginning of 2018

So as of today I'm into week 4 of my Test and deca cycle, my last weight was 86 kg this was weight like a week ago, I've been smashing the gym every day while I've been on days as i know when I'm on nights I won't be able to go every day. definitely feeling stronger on my lifts and feeling a lot fuller especially my delts arms etc. my quads also are looking a lot fuller my main personal anxiety is around my chest especially since my delts and arms are pretty well developed i always feel they take over when im trying to push that last bench etc
People also notice that I'm on and my sex drive is through the roof atm injecting wise, everything has been fine apart from the first 2 into each glute which causes some pip and the hcg well its the first time I've used it(I'm using insulin style needles so piercing the rubber then my skin is not the most comfortable and ai wise I've been taking 0.5mg monday 0.5mg thursdays i felt abit shitty yesterday and was thinking about upping the dose but today i feel ****ing great
I'm not the best and catching angles and stuff on pictures but below is a front view and a rear view
