Hi all,
Anabolic Atlas here, officially going public with my comeback.
For some context, I’m 33 years old, 175cm tall, and currently sitting at 120kg.
To scratch the surface of who I am: I was very overweight throughout my teenage years, hovering around 115kg while playing rugby. After an injury ended that chapter, I found my way into the gym. What started as rehabilitation slowly became a lifestyle. I leaned out, built muscle, and eventually reached what I’d consider a genuinely athletic physique.
By my mid 20s, I was fully immersed in bodybuilding. I competed in a couple of shows, stepping on stage around 85–90kg naturally, and from there pushed further. Between roughly 2020 and 2025, I was enhanced and maintained around 100kg at relatively low body fat. Physically, I was in the best shape of my life strong, lean, disciplined, and structured.
Then life happened.
Becoming a father, moving states, and taking on new responsibilities slowly took priority. Without fully realising it at the time, my training, nutrition, and identity began to slip. Over the years, I gained 30kg+ and, more frustratingly, lost a significant amount of hard-earned muscle. The routine, focus, and drive I once had just weren’t there anymore.
The past few months have been a real turning point. A doctor’s visit where my blood pressure hit 170 was the wake-up call. I made the decision to take control again back into the gym, cleaning up my nutrition, and rebuilding mental discipline. About five weeks ago, I also began using retatrutide 1.3mg twice a week, and since then I’ve dropped 12kg, going from 132kg to 120kg. More importantly, I feel switched on again mentally sharp, consistent, and motivated.
This isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about reclaiming who I was physically and mentally and showing up for my son. I’ve lived both extremes, and that perspective is what’s driving me now.
This is the next chapter in reclaiming what once was. I’ll be posting regularly the progress, the setbacks, and everything in between.
A huge shout-out to @ZenithHealth @Zenith for sponsoring me with the retatrutide and more importantly believing in me
