trt was just an idea to build muscle, because otherwise it might be really hard to do it

Yes, I got you, I was just flipping off the subject 
Otherwise, if I was completely healthy, Iām not sure if I wouldnāt be tempted to do a steroid cycle. And if my body tolerates it well and the results in the mirror are good, there is no telling what I would do next. But I donāt want that big muscles, just a little bigger than the current ones. However, I am of the opinion that excessive muscle mass and overweight burden the body. But if we train naturally, we cannot achieve such muscles that interfere with the body. As long as we are not too fat. Weight training is very beneficial for the body-skeletal system, muscles and much more. But in many ways, they donāt give you much of a lift in everyday life if youāre heavy. You are not fast, you are not durable /most bodybuilders are not/, you are not flexible and mobile. If you donāt train these qualities, you can even make them worse. For example, I have zero mobility and for that reason I do Yoga poses from time to time.

BP (With a very wide grip)- 2x8x70;
Lat Pulldown-2x8x70;
Shoulder Press (Machine)-2x8x60;
Dumbbell curl-2x8x15 (L15-R15)
Push-Down (Rope Two reels)-2x8x50;
Hack Squat (Machine)2x8x70.
In most places, my weights were light, but the rests were no more than 1 minute. Only working sets are listed. Today I went with the intention of doing DL, but gave up. I felt like I didnāt have the energy, but I also didnāt want to.
I end the day with about 2 300 calories, including the vodka I drank with dinner:-)

It was very light for me, so the rests were about 30 seconds, which was actually the time to add weight. But thatās the program. After the medium day has passed, I will start the pattern with one heavy exercise, one medium and one light exercise on a training day. And I will rotate them during the week. That way Iāll be more motivated to workout knowing Iāll have a tough workout for the day.
Still, I didnāt hold back and performed an Incline Bench Press: 5x30, 5x50, 5x60, 4x80.

not bad
Ho ho, this is my strongest exercise Generally, horizontal pulls where the arms are involved are my easiest exercises. Iāll DL more, but not that much. But neither the BP nor the SQ are stronger exercises for me than the Barbell Rows. But when I think about it, I donāt train them more than other exercises.
I know it sounds funny and obviously I have major imbalances in my strength, but apparently thatās my genetics.
Hereās an older video of mine where I do a 110kg Pendlay. I had never trained rows like this and they didnāt trust me to get them up. My technique is not good, but as a first attempt it worked. And itās not that big of an achievement, but for a lot of people itās tough.
I apologize that the title of the video is in Cyrillic, but it is clear what it is about.

BBRows-4x40, 4x60, 4x80, 4x4x85.
I feel like if I start increasing the weight of the Rows I will have lower back strain. I have strength, but I donāt think it makes sense to overexert myself. Because of this, I might be better off making more pieces with a lighter weight.

Today I tried how things are with these two exercises, so I didnāt strain too much.
I want to extend my sincere condolences to all the Brits on the forum. Gone is perhaps the greatest statesman and standard of conduct of our time.

SQ-40x5, 60x2, 15x1x80 for 10 min.
BP-40x5, 60x5, 80x1, 16x1x90 for 10 min.
DCurl Alternate-3x10x10
The weight was about 90% of 1RM, aiming to do more than 10 reps in 10 min. to lift the weight next time (5 lbs for example). I feel very good to train in this way, but I take into account the fact that the weight is not great. I donāt know how it will be if the weight increases significantly. I also donāt feel hungry when I train this way compared to some previous workouts like 6x6 Full Body. I was starving when I was training like that and especially carb hungry, which is normal in this situation because the volume is two or three times higher.

Today I decided to try this Gironda method. I saved everything for the weight calculations as well as the rest time. I canāt say it was difficult for me, but the goal is to lift weights.
