To get into a mens health doctor over here takes time 3 more weeks so need a new blood test shortly

When I found my Dr a few years ago I had to wait 3 months to get in... After 2 years of getting my prescriptions from him, he stopped the prescriptions for all his patients. Other GPs were running complaints against him. This guy was an actual GP. It's actually really hard to find a GP that prescribes TRT.

It is a cracker training plan ... it's also great that you're eating more.

You should get some good results with the training... just need to be consistent with it.

Well feeling a bit down the Dr said NO too TRT said that in the last 3 months my test has gone up from 5 to 9.2....

Yeah that would've rubbed me the wrong way as well. I get it.. nothing beats pharma test. But don't stress man, most guys run their own TRT. It's easy - 250mg a week, split into 2 injections e.g. 125mg on Mondays and 125mg on Thursdays... or Sundays and Wednesdays... up to you. Add Aromasin at 12.5mg twice a week.... done!

You shouldn't feel down bro. Look on the positive side – your levels are healthy. Jumping on the TRT wagon really depends on how you feel. If your blood tests show that your testosterone levels are on point and you feel good, and you're making progress, then maybe you don't need it. You're the best judge when it comes to your body. Yes, boosting your test levels will make a massive difference in everything, granted that you do it sensibly. But it's a commitment. Let us know if you have any questions bro.

So had a day with the trainer yesturday to help with some movements shoulder was pinching when heavy pushing. Simply was shugging shoulder forward and creating a pinch point.
Squats should get better too as i was not balanced.
Money well spent to reduce injury.

Your doing all the right things. Getting a trainer can do wonders. I got one about 15 years ago and it was mind blowing to learn all the things I was doing wrong in the gym, with my food... I see trainers as investments.

My form is getting better know to build the muscles around that area.
4 sets of lateral raises creates the feeling of a dead arm in the shoulder.

Good to hear bro. Doing lateral raises will help strengthen that area, but make sure not to overdo it. Resting is also crucial for recovery.

Whenever I get muscle issues I get acupuncture... works an absolute treat!

Hit the 100kg on the bench
I feel this workout split has bought all the muscle groups together correctly.

Nice. I pretty much use that same workout as well. It does work well
