    5/12 Training Deadlift - 395lbs x4x6 sets like everything else these feel awesome right now. 5th set felt like a warm up still. Bench Press - 210lbs x4x5 sets little fatigued from all the pressing yesterday but these still went well. All reps were smooth Weighted Pull Ups - 15lbs DB between...

    5/11 Training Back Squat - Up to 375lbs x3 then drop down to 320lbs x7x3 sets the 375 was SMOOTH 😁. My descent on the first rep was a little slow as I still had my groin issues in the back of my mind so I was still a little guarded; however, that rep was fast and pain free and I finished the...

    My last post was just titled “Off Day”. I didn’t train, all I did was pin my test. I lift 4 days per week (Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday). Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday are off from lifting but sometimes I do some active recovery (cardio, bike ride, rolling, stretching etc.) My apologies if...

    5/10 Off-Day Off today - pinned my normal amount of test (0.25cc Test C and 0.75cc Test PP). This coming week will be my 3rd week of the new lifting cycle and technically my 4th week of my test cycle. I think this will be a big week to see how much the extra test helps. Looking forward to it!

    5/8 Training Deficit Paused Deadlift - Up to 345lbs x4x5 sets standing on a 2" box and paused for 1s after the weight first breaks from the ground. Took a while to feel confident with this as I’m concerned about the groin issue that flared up again on Tuesday. However I did not have any issues...

    5/7 Training Back Squat - Up to 330lbsx1 was supposed to do 4x6 sets at that weight. Took my time and warmed up slowly. Hit 330x1 smooth and easy to test it out but felt a little groin soreness still. Not as bad as tuesday, but I decided to not go through with my planned Squat workout. Luckily...

    5/5 Training Deadlift - 385lbs x5x2 sets was supposed to do this for 5x5, but on the 3rd set I started to feel a slight pulling and pain in my right groin again (same one I hurt squtting 4-5 weeks back). It was not nearly as bad and honestly I probably could have gutted out the rest. However...

    5/4 Training: Start of Week 2 Back Squat - 365lbs x 3 then drop down to 315 x8x3 sets All I can say is wow these moved well today. The 365 moved better and maybe even faster than 350 did last week. Bench Press - 195lbs x8x3 sets The lightest of the three Bench workouts for the week. Felt fine...

    5/3 Off-Day No training today since it’s my off-day. Just posting since I pinned another 0.25cc Test C and 0.75cc Test PP. Used a new 25g 1" pin and put it in my right ventroglute (had been using 22g previously) and it felt a lot better. Still a little sting but the PIP seems to be less than...

    5/1 Training Deficit Paused Deadlift (~3’’ of ground, 1s pause 1" off ground on pull) - Up to 335lbs x4x4 sets Bench Press - Up to 242lbs x 1, then 215lbs x5x3 sets 242 moved very fast. I was supposed to work up to a single I could rate at 7/10 difficulty. Could maybe have done more here but I...

    I figured it was something like that. there’s no redness or swelling and it doesn’t affect my ability to do any movements so I haven’t been too worried about it. browsing this board I got the impression that some compounds pack a bit of bite more than others. TNE sounds awful for example.

    4/30 Squat - Up to 320lbs x6x4 sets Didn’t feel as fresh as Monday’s squats which is to be expected. Everything moved well though. I’d say 6-6.5/10 difficulty. Good quality work here. Standing Overhead Press - 135lbs x8x3 sets (7/10 difficulty) paired with Single Leg Pistol Squats - 3x8ea leg...

    4/28 Deadlift - Up to 375lbs x5x4 sets Felt great and zero hip/back pain. Moved really well (I’d say a 6/10 difficulty). I’ve decided to quit using straps cold turkey to make sure my grip isn’t an issue come meet/test day. I use a hook grip which I have some experience with but it’s been a...

    4/27 NEW CYCLE Decided to revamp what I was doing and found a good 9 week powerlifting cycle to follow. Today was the first day. Sprint drills found a nice grass field close to the house to do my sprint drills. Just stuck to my form drills and didn’t hit any sprints today. Squat - Up to 350lbs...

    4/26 Off Day Hips are feeling fine. All I did yesterday was go for a bike ride and I may go for another one today. Mostly posting today because I pinned 0.25cc of my Test C and 0.75cc of my Test PP and I want records of all of that if I ever want to look back. My pinning schedule will be as...

    Thanks @Bigmurph. Just got a little ambitious the first week back I think. Need to take things back a little more and be patient. Probably putting extra pressure to get after it since this is my real first cycle beyond TRT. Gotta remember it will take a few weeks for the gear to kick in anyway...

    4/24 Lower Body Sprint drills and a bunch of max velocity sprint work Deadlift - Up to 445lbs x1 then dropped down to 315lbs x6x2 sets Sumo Deadlift very disapointed with this, my original plan was to go 445lbs for a pretty easy set of 1 (within the last month I’ve pulled 440x6) then drop down...

    I appreciate the love fellas. It’s motivating to know I have some people watching and supporting! 4/23 Upper Body 3 second paused Bench Press - up to 205lbs x4x6 sets this is my lighter higher volume bench workout for the week. Could definitely handle more than 205 for this movement but the...

    4/22 Rest Day Man I’m feeling those sprints, squats and deadlifts today. Normally I like to go for a nice hard bike ride on off days, but I think some walking is good for today. Nutrition wise I drop my carbs on these days and keep protein and fats the same. Instead of 250-300g of carbs I’ll...

    Thanks @Bigmurph. I was absolutely killing it all the way up to three weeks ago and then I started getting dumb and got hurt. I’ve slowly worked back to feeling 100% so I’m excited to start making progress again. As for the ester weights I remember running across something along those lines...
