You do know that your joints and tendons get stronger along with your muscles, right?
Sounds like you pussied out and are looking for excuses to not do what is necessary to get strong.

Thread is about Anadrol but doesn’t want to lift heavy. You know the drol with all the water retention will help your joints and promote more intense workouts and recovery … and joint and tendon support .

I can’t get strong and being ectomorph (by frame) means I should avoid accent on heavy exercises that lead to systematic failure.
Moreover, strength is one thing, hypertrophy is another.
Focus on high weight did not lead me anywhere as I’ve tried.
If low weight high reps and volume don’t lead me anywhere, I am simply not evolving from what I am.
The highest weight exercise I am going to focus is pullups (weak enough so that my body weight is a challenge).
I also feel like I am achieving something.
Anyway I don’t gain ANYTHING lifting weights, except being slightly toned up, so there should be at least something I achieve from training.
Lifting me up to the bar and eventually increasing numbers makes me feel good.
Now I am sticking to 8 reps, not sure if there is any need to introduce weighted before I reach 12.
Anadrol topic is finished for now, I will mby start a food log, cause whatever I do, my main goal is CUTTING.
I don’t think whatever I do is worthy (whatever small gains I might have better if I am overeating) unless I am lean.
I don’t want to look like shit, so better lean and normal than fat and still looking like I ‘never stepped foot in a gym’, as u told me 
Every skinny kid is an ectomorph until they start eating and training properly. You rely too much on the somatotype bullshit argument to justify not doing what needs to be done. It’s really not a thing.
Usually stronger muscles = bigger muscles and vice versa.
You’re using your body as a weight when doing pullups. How do you explain that?
Yes. Feeling good is all that matters.

You are way over thinking this. Its insane.

Just a side note on neural activation…
After doing 3 sets of lateral raises I did 20 dips easily and it was no close to failure 
I don’t thing I’ve put a lot of muscle (if any) the last 2-3 months
Anadrol topic is done for now, I will stick to creatine and protein.
Mby should make a training log.
But I still think to have pullups and dips as staple + more side delts work. Also some biceps is not going to hurt, since my forearm trauma is going away.
Triceps with EZ bar shouldn’t be loaded much cause I feel it in the elbow joints (luckily there are no consequences with the current weights).
Avoiding high weights (anyway I don’t have much iron at home), except mby some back rows, done not cheating (still not much weight at home).
Out of curiosity tried 3 sets of pullups (3x8), with a pretty large rest in between, it worked …
Now there is some tension in the shoulder joints, have to get used to the increased load
just for the record - 3 x 9 pullups
It seems it is working, hitting + 1 number, do it for several workouts every other day (easy load and frequency), then try to consolidate the new number x 3 sets, if u feel ok add another + 1…
Feeling the pullups in lower biceps/ brachialis, brachioradialis and …shoulders… (I guess posterior delts).
So these seem to be weaker and give up before I get a solid back pump.
I don’t know if it is the anadrol effect gone, but I no longer progress.
I feel dizzy after fairly light squats, lack of oxygen after 8-10 pullups and generally not very oxygen rich.
Mby the anadrol works as enhancement and the effect persists several weeks after u stop even with small 25 mg doses…
I read the first post and skimmed the topic. If you are not following a program written by someone else, definitely find a recommended one on this forum like 5/3/1 and stick to it. It’ll take the guesswork out of the equation for you.
