Yeah, i use straps with my shrugs. Forearms are worn the hell out even at 225 because of the failure sets leading up to them.
Grip strength would absolutely be my failure point without them.

I had a friend mention popping dbol to immediately increase estrogen. Not sure how effective. I accidentally took too much ai once and that was his recommendation.

Not a bad choice honestly. I dont have dbol available but i ran a few hundred mg prop for a few days and it helped. So waiting for eq to run its course

Weights up pls,I wish to compare. My inferior looking body but natty status to more your aesthetic but drugged to the eyeballs. I do some of those exercises. I cable curled 165 pounds for 8 recently with 16 inch arms. Come at me bro

I just do whatever the muscle feels is best when it comes to biceps, and whatever my elbows will tolerate for triceps.
I dont train for strength or really care about anyone else’s numbers. I train to look good naked, and I do.
Almost there, bud

Honestly you’re welcome to compare all you like, but it wont be to anyone’s benefit.
Cable Curl maxes out at 85lbs, i was at 72.5lbs for high teens to low twenties.
Smith CGBP was 225 for sets in the high-teens to low-twenties.
Reverse Grip Preachers were 85 for mid-teens.
Overhead Cable Ext was i think 85lbs (max stack) for low twenties down to high teens.
Wrist curls were 95lbs, don’t recall the reps - I just did a lot of them.
Sandbag didn’t have a weight on it. I assume 50-60lbs and i carried it on one shoulder for half the distance, then switched sides.
If that answers your question.
Strength hasn’t been my goal in years. It goes up over time, but my numbers aren’t worth bragging about. Like I think my lifetime PRs are
Bench 305x7
Squat 405x3
Deadlift 495x5
These were when I was natty. Just stopped caring about them.

You re definitely stronger. Only lift I got you over the course of a lifetime is squat

You’re comparing a natural lifter to someone who’s enhanced?
Mhmm yeah seems like a fair comparison I guess? Kinda apples to oranges imo… there’s a reason being on gear is literally called being enhanced so I think this comparison doesn’t mean much tbh.

I just…
I’m kinda…flabbergasted. I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone come up into someone’s log with the intentions of like….actively comparing themselves.
Idk….thats like knocking on someone’s door and just barging in and plopping themselves on their couch.
You’re like one of the LAST persons in here I would think people would like…not bother (log-wise)? Even with you being enhanced (or even prior to), what the actual heck was that?

Just training talk. Got a problem? Like the strength world is all about comparisons,ya know they gather people together and do what? He didn’t seem to mind. He minded more about me not totally taking his side on his stance on the middle east,but that’s because I’m about giving them a chance to come good first. If not then commence operation glass. Be honest you intersected with your donk head because I’m rude about steroids,that’s your motivation. Ease up on the test,lady. Not that I dishonoured him. In fact the opposite.
