First training cycle at 40

[Tbgr]

I have been divorced for 2 Years. Even though all the financials are not finalized yet(part of my current stress. )

I meant I was with 2 different women this weekend, copious amounts of sex with both. I have been repeating this behaviour for a while now, just because I can. Life in 2021 with tinder is different thaN Life in 2000 when I settled down with my x. Women are using me the same so it’s mutual, it’s just gotNo soul.

Sounds great on paper, but it kinda just makes me feel lonely in reality. You can call me a bitch if you like, but that’s the reality of disposable dating.

A little constructive criticism… you need more body hair especially on your chest , back and shoulders

Joking.

 

[Tbgr]

I’m sure it’s coming

 

[Dirtnasty]

Funny working next gets I gain weight the more I work. I think its cuase im morel’s or
To eat junk

 

[Tbgr]

Well my elbows are now speaking to me, I have hit the limit of what joints will take this year. Going to back off upper body weights and intensity… increase leg intensity until the end of cycle…

Elbows didn’t like the 85lb dumbells for ohp yesterday still hit sets of 5 Squatting always makes me painfully aware of thier state. Which I did today.

I have some Anxiety now the end is in sight, due to my body/age I’m not seeing any upside staying on cycle longer, but my brain is still
One of an addict and wrestles against the thought.

I will drop to trt levels, have doctors appointment dec 2nd. Next year I will decide if I want to cycle again. When I get some space in between, and make sure my health is good.

 

[Poppy]

There’s no upside brother. You are correct. Backing down to trt at your age would be prudent.

 

[Rusty]

Agree with @Poppy

 

[JLee]
