Been here for about 3 years, time for an intro

[Dudz]

Noticed my recent post and figured it’s time for a quick intro. Started lifting at 16 during my high school football days, so I’ve been at this for about 15 years. Despite that, I’m relatively new to the forums (but I have been a member for on this one for a couple years)

After medical retirement from the Army, I got a degree and an office job. I lift consistently and am currently dealing with a bout of lifters elbow. Waiting for that to stop so I can bench again. I’ve done my fair share of reading up on cycles, but not much practical experience. A couple test only cycles and a few orals.

Looking forward to learning from everyone and sharing ideas.

Welcome aboard

I guess I would describe it as a mix of both bb and pl. while I’m no where near a strong-man, nor a body builder, I like aspects from both. Prior to my elbows giving up, I was doing 5/3/1 but did 5 sets instead of 3 to get a few more sets in. also added an arm day because I do like the body building aspects and lifting heavy and I know you can train arms indirectly through compound movements (Arnold voice) I love the pump! Hope that answers your question.

 

[Dudz]

Sure! Thanks

How old are you?

Height? Weight?

Apologies if you posted somewhere else.

You train like most of us here. We have some extremely active competitors in bb pl and xfit but by and large just regular ole guys.

Some guys that used to compete but have long since “retired” …gave it up.

Welcome brother

I haven’t and those are good questions I probably should have added to the intro on my own. However 230 5’11 32 years old. I have seen some of the recent posts of the competitors… yeah looks like this place has all the rss one would need, knowledge, gear, and community.

Most of us tend to just go on the highest dose possible with the very least if any sides…then just stay on.

What are your thoughts for yourself?

That makes sense to me- blast the highest dose you can while still being able to cope with the sides. For blasting and cruising, that seems to be the standard. In the past I have cycled off. Been reading good things about enclo as well. If I were going to blast multiple times- I would definitely cruise.
