Chest Pump was solid, biceps pump was brutal and vein-inducing, and legs pump had me stable as a newborn moose. Triceps were good as usual, could be better with use of cables, but hanging on to cables, 2 mismatched dumbbells AND the dip-bars is asking a lot for a commercial gym (especially on Intl. Chest Day 
).
1 week in on TRT and can’t tell a huge difference. I think I feel better but it’s still early to tell; will be adding in L-Carnitine 3x per week at 500mg per injection.

Home gym today; overall felt good. Forearm pump was pretty extreme, lats needed more, triceps felt good, calves hurt at high reps (due to pump i believe).
Been out of it this week, happy to be lifting again.

I’m no gym trainer expert but the 1 arm BB row that meadows uses in crewing death 2 feels awesome for the lats in a way I’m never felt them before. Definitely worth a try as it just seems to really hit the spot.

While i do like that, he also does a different version.

Another home gym session in the books; was dying trying to get through those squats. Felt good, ironically.

That squat series is simply brutal! Great work getting through it and coming out clean on the order side!

Thanks!
Had to drop weight for the stimulate phase - there was no way I was coming back up after 6s negatives at 225 lol.
Guess I know where to improve on my normal training!

So my diet has gone to shit lately. Scale is regularly tipping 220 and it’s gotta change. I think I need to start logging food again so that’s what I’m doing… starting today.
Daily goal:
Calories: 2400
Protein: 270g
Carbs: 150g
Fats: 80g
I think I’m going to leave a bunch of sushi rolls in the freezer for cheat meals… hard to feel guilty when slamming down sushi, right?

TRT Update
Hadn’t been feeling much since starting about 2.5 weeks ago and had done almost entirely SubQ daily injections. Did IM Shoulder shots today and yesterday and I’m feeling good… maybe it’s coincidence or maybe i need to do IM. Will continue with IM shots and see if that’s the way to go.
(Ive heard SubQ takes a bit to kick in, this sounds accurate so far)

Cyp, Prop or Enanthate ?

26mg Test Cyp ED injections.
Should be kicking in anytime. Personally i still do IM every 2 days with Prop but the subcutaneous shots ED are probably a better method. Slower dispersion being more natural

You might find this useful:
Now, however, courtesy of the Department of Urology at University of California, we have clinical evidence of how subQ shots lead to higher levels of free T, along with evidence of them being physiologically superior to IM shots in several other important ways.

This is actually why I started with SubQ injections honestly. Had been doing them for 2.5 weeks.
Not sure if its true or not, but I’ve heard it takes longer for SubQ to start ‘working’. As in the effects arent felt for longer than if doing IM.
Would like to keep doing SubQ but only if it works for me. If IM keeps me feeling like I did today though, I’ll probably stick with IM.

- Quads, delts, and traps definitely look bigger.
- Calves were already great and appear a lot bigger.
- You look a little leaner too.
- You have great potential for even more growth.
Great job!

Thank you very much! I do believe I have more room to grow (literally) but I will have to see what the Iron Gods bless me with.
