That’s a massive “IF”. I’m excited these days when I leave the gym without getting hurt or injured. That’s my big win for the day. Really getting harder these days. I know it’ll be coming to the end soon. Just hope I’ve got another 8 years left until my son is bigger and I can just train BJJ with him.
 
Just to update everyone on timelines with @ozsteroids i ordered on Tuesday night, forgot to send my address details so they were sent on Wednesday. Was messaged Monday to say dispatched and arrived on Thursday. Good communication throughout.

Injection day, 0.27mg test e, delt. Hopefully the opposite one I did on Wednesday. Still forget which side I’m supposed to do. I’m now doing delts, quads and glutes. Good to have some sites to spread out. Was always worried about glutes but seems easier than quads. Often hit nerves with quads.

Deadlift day today, nice quiet gym, really enjoyed it. Deadlifts way behind.

Just working on regaining strength with them at the moment. Will work on increasing reps once I have my strength back to wear it was.

As for incline bench press my weight is rapidly improving. Nice surprise how quickly it’s bouncing back.

Shit. Repacking bag at gym. I forgot my shorts. Really cant work out in what I’m wearing as have my Kevlar bike jeans on :(

At least I got some cardio in this morning with training, hopefully I can get a home session in this evening.

I'm completely against donating just for the sake of numbers, like you say unless you are symptomatic there is absolute no reason to. Had this debate with my TRT clinic as they said I'm at risk of clots. They fail to understand that higher HCT doesn't cause or increase chance of clotting, platelet dysfunction does. Sad all this still goes back to data from the 70s on PV patients where correlation isn't causation. Interestingly the other amusing part is when my HCT hit 53 they told me to drink 3L before my test at 8:30am, I said to them what's the point as that's not my normal hydration at that time in the morning. They were completed fixated by arbitiary numbers.

Will make sure I don't train on the next bloods and reasonably hydrated to see what the actual values are.

Totally with you. Clinics freak out over numbers without looking at the full picture.

Not bad for a microwave meal, they're pretty good, just high in sodium.

Still get many comments at work about why I'm taking it out of the packaging to put in a bowl to microwave. Find it surprising that so many people are totally unaware of the issues with plastics.
 
Really not sure how it took me almost 90minutes to get through this workout.

Squatting not good, back behind again, started to feel a bit of pain in my adductor from my pull a while back, and realised I was starting to tip forward from it. Had to stop after 4 on my working sets, so just did some high reps with light weight.

Everything else went to plan and slightly more than last time.

That's a great idea, I had to do box squats when I was doing my ACL rehab. Didn’t think of it at the time. Will have to do these until my adductor is fixed.
 
Happy Friday all.

Too busy to post earlier today. It’s been one of those days but at least I got training in.

First time bench pressing in just over six months. Shoulder a bit achy but no pain and felt ok on lifts. A worrying test but all feels positive. I’m still unsure I’ll get back to my previous max as a kid as don’t think my shoulders can take it these days.

Had to stop half way through my dips. Felt a twinge. No more mr push through it. I’ve learnt the hard way on this.

Real poor lunch today. Embarrassed to post it. Two slices of wholemeal toast with Vegemite and a protein shake.

I'm not sure whether I'm excited or annoyed. Trying to buy a new wetsuit this morning and after measuring and comparing multiple brands I've got the same issue. Looks like my V shape is starting to come, I'm either too small in the waist or too large in the chest 💪

Starting to look like I'm a disco diva in some of my medium t shirts, slowly starting to phase out. Never really planned for the new wardrobe when I started training properly.

The hidden costs!
 
Bit short on time this afternoon but managed to get 90% of my workout in. Slight improvement on the deadlifts but still having adductor issues so can’t push anymore for a while.

Forgot my lunch so sadly it was toast and a protein shake. Stupidly left it out in the kitchen when I left for work so probably not even edible now.

Need to work on widening my shoulders and chest. Shoulders are small but happy with chest thickness just not the width.
