Repeat of yesterdays energy respite.
Oh, I’m just of an age where I’m considering TRT myself. I seem to be doing ok so far without it, but your post made me think on it some more.
You won’t feel the difference, you’ll just experience it. You have to actually remind yourself that you’re stronger. I noticed this week my comfortable voice is now louder. Fired a few clients I don’t like; they certainly needed firing. New experiences.
4/3
bench 2 x 6 @ 215, 2 x 10 @ 185

When I can get the 70s into position they’re easy to incline press. Decided today a spotter could get me to 85s, and higher on bench though I’m anxious to now try 225 after today’s workout.
I’ll blame trt.

Napped about an hour after this longer Saturday workout. I suspect my natural test production is shutting down after 9 weeks on injections. Only side effect seems to be return of post 7 pm fatigue, and also after somewhat demanding workouts like this one. Fine otherwise, except I’m back to 250. Seems I’ve gained 5 more lbs but in upper body above my stomach.
4/10 deload week
light weights for
bench 4 sets, incline dumbbell press, chest supported rows
also did wide grip pullups

4/14
deload week, still light weights
yesterday did incline bench, close grip bench, wide grip pullups, cable curls, dumbbell lateral raises
Today did leg curls, le presses, deadlifts, dumbbell deadlifts
Younger, really strong guy working out near me today likely thought I was ancient with my white beard and weight choices. No sense embarrassing him with my deadlifting as much as he does. He warms up with about 5 million pullups.
It should inspire him instead.

Still waiting on new workout program. My deadlifts, pullups, and squats have really improved with this online guy. Workouts 5 days/week feel great.
