Also I wanted to say it’s sometimes difficult on the bench press with one leg as far as balance goes.

 

[Gains]

I have also been curious what the leg weighs. The leg I still have is two times the size it was before I lost the other. I hop around a lot on one leg so it has developed a lot.

Have you had blood labs recently? Including hormone panel

 

[Gains]

Maybe you can point me in the right direction as where to find the info so I can get that done asap.

 

[Gains]

I have not but I am learning here how do it.

 

[Poppy]

It’s always best to get labs through your pcp but there’s online options that for the life of me I can’t remember ever.

Welcome. And privatemdlabs is the other place to get labs done @Poppy couldn’t remember

Always Doctor 1st.
Be honest with them and your goals.
It will save you piece of mind and money.
Go to them with fully developed plan, and advocate for yourself.
Take everything slow by changing one variable at a time and quantifying.

Got a bad case of “CRS”… comes and goes…

Can’t remember $hit

At 42, you very well could be a candidate for trt/hrt.

 

[Mossy1985]

I’m the same way. Sometimes I forget certain words and stuff.

 

[Poppy]

Rough google search and calculation one of your legs weighs about 30 lbs probably a bit more. Not feeling the math this am. It’s usually one of my strong points but I’m a lazy azz.

Never thought I would be pondering that…

 

[Gains]

So funny I looked it up earlier after the post. Lol.

 

[Poppy]

Haha

It’s really here nor there… just ask questions here. There’s no berating or bullying and we practice harm reduction with peds but in the end everyone is their own keeper and has free will to do as they wish.

What’s your training template look like.

Honestly I’m at a little loss for conditioning in your situation.

I’m tagging in coach @Kad1 and @PHD. They’re both seasoned vets and train others professionally.

They’ve probably got some great ideas.

I’m working out three times a week. At this point I have been playing it lose. Now I am getting serious buckling down. I am looking to develop a program to gain muscle first and foremost along with coming up with a diet that will best suit these ends.
