TRT Update and issues

[Johnin AZ]

4th quad injection of 100MG Test cyp and 50 MG Deca went well today (do this twice per week). Have soreness in the quads for 2 or 3 days after, but I work through it and it's not a big deal. Noticed that my appetite is up, but my diet has been great!
Today I really felt the kick of the test/deca in the gym. Awesome pumps and everything seamed easy. Shoulder still bothers me, but not as much as before. Used to get all knotted up.
Guess the deca will take some more time to fully take effect. Upper body is starting to look more cut.and I'm really working legs hard, will probably put good muscle weight on there. I'm 42 years old, 6'3" and 255 pounds. I would guess my BF to be around 17-18% somewhere. I still do some type of cardio daily.
The only issue that I've noticed so far is the quick heart beat at night. Speeds up just enough to keep me awake. Runs between 70-80 BPM. My normal is around 55-60.
I've read that a lot of guys get this. Have any suggestions on how I'm supposed to get some freakin' sleep????
Otherwise, I'm strapped in for the ride!!!

try some ZMA about an hour before bed. The magnesium relaxes the muscles.

My experience has been very similar to yours, except that I'm a slightly higher dose.
I do my fith tomorrow and I've only had one bad injection so far; hit a nerve and then aspirated blood, so I dug a new hole.

A few more sides than you, BP is up a little, so I'm taking some Lasix. The T makes me a little stiff and makes my face red, but the Androgel did this too.

I can't say I've noticed any huge increase in strength, but I have been adding moderate weight and doing more reps. Biggest change is a better sense of well being, the urge to git'r done and wanting to 'talk' to anything in a skirt. Also being a slightly bigger A-Hole than usual, but nothing that is not manageable.

I hate hitting that nerve in the quad, my whole quad locks up tight. It makes me needle shy for a few weeks. My heart rate is higher at night and I get night sweats as well, I think it's just my metabolic rate speeding up. Sex with the wife helps, my heart rate slows down after lol. I do love my testosterone so much...

Yeah, I insert it fairly slowly, so when the leg starts to bounce I know I have to try again. I kinda enjoy the injections, but I'm sure that will get old. Sweats, pulse and BP are all issues, with BP being the worst of it. But I might have OD'd a tad on the last shot, just too lazy to put it back in the vile. Funny thing is that the BP was 111/69 tonight. The muscle stiffness/cramps in my back are the only thing that really bugs me.
