BOPped over to here

[gearhead80]

Ran a few cycles. My first was bunk test and weak dbol. Second was test and deca with dbol jumper from Praetorean. Broke my wrist which was a huge setback. Got back into it 3 months after surgery. Ran a few after that with BOP sponsors…600 EQ with 750 sust(16wks) and 150 tren ace (6wks) p/w. Prop with TBOL and NPP for 8 weeks. None of it really got me where I wanted to go. I favored bodybuilding and powerlifting, don’t care for Xfit. I wanted to be thick and massive, so I lifted heavy then switched routines. It was odd. I felt like I was on a lot, but you wouldn’t be able to tell I was. I had training at the top and diet in second to support it, carried a bit of water and adipose. Gear was a puzzle piece that was treated as a supplement. I wound up looking a lot more like a low-grade PL than a BB. This time around I am doing it right and pulling out all the stops. I’ve been off for a year now and trying to plan a return. My bench was 300, dead was 426 and squat was 460. I’d like to get back to that and more but above all, I want to look and feel good. Confidence means a lot.

Well you’re definitely in the right place. There’s a bunch of knowledgeable dudes on here.

You know the drill…diet diet diet

 

[Poppy]

Have you had recent blood labs?

The va will prescribe trt these days.

 

[gearhead80]

For sure. You can take all the gear you want but without a good diet and training your ass off, it’s useless. So many use gear as a crutch hoping it will all come together. I’d rather stay low dose as long as possible and put in the work to get where I want to be. I remember Dave Palumbo telling everyone to start at a gram. My best newb gains came from food and iron alone. I am gonna post some ideas in the proper thread. Feel free to sanity check me and lmk if I am off or where things can be sharpened. Be good to have your feedback.

 

[gearhead80]

I have not. Just moved to TX so I am still getting settled in. There is a VA clinic close by so I will inquire this week. Be great if they could prescribe GH. Not sure what my out of pocket costs would be.

bench was 300, dead was 426 and squat was 460

Respectable numbers.

 

[gearhead80]

Goal for the next 2 years is 400, 500 and 600, respectively. Once I get back into it, it’ll come back quick. Until then, I am going to hit it with all I have.

[Poppy]

How ya doing @Ominous ?

 

[Ominous]

Been working and trying to clear out my garage to make some room. Have a new side by side coming.
Been on my diet around 80-90%.
Training has been lacking. Only hitting gym two or three days a week.

Time to get back to 4-5 days a week.

 

[Poppy]

You’re in Florida if I remember right… bad time of year to be shuffling stuff in a garage! I just soent a week in Michigan and this last couple of days home is killing me! The older i get the less i like this humidity!

I think you can maintain just fine on 2-3 days a week training. Probably giving your body a break.

 

[Ominous]

Very true. Florida and it’s been 93 degrees at 98% humidity. It’s been brutal over 100 degrees inside the garage.

 

[Poppy]

Usually not a breath of air!!!
