Yay, account name change. Much love @Chris_Colucci (or whatever mod approved it) <3
You most likely need a wider grip (but not necessarily). Mine is almost as wide as my bench grip lol (but my bench isnāt very wide)
Yeah thatās the spirit. Nuts, whatever. The opposite of your yummy meals ahahah
That is tough. I have no advice here. Iāve always loved food. Even if force-feeding myself during my first bulk was horrible.
Yes thatās why I usually put loud music to get in the zone. Iāve found old pics of me. i relaly think i had low T when younger. Even at 25 I had a real baby face. Gyno when younger, no hair, not much sexual apetite (always less than my girls) etc etc
Iām guessing having a better diet, and working out over years made my levels go up. And yeah, for 2-3 years Iāve been a fucking dog. Iām always drooling over cute girls like a freaking animal
My bench is max legal width nowadays.
Before I got my TRT treatment I was at a resort with my family and my retired old dad was drooling more over the ladies than I was. I had a normal sex drive as a teenager though, so something went awry early twenties. Although, I was the last kid to have a growth spurt, facial and chest hair was always poor, andā¦ I donāt know how to express this succinctly while still being adequately understood but Iāve always struggled to relate to other men. Most of my friends have been women.
And, now, as an adult after starting TRT when I told a long-time friend of mine from my teenage years made this observation (anecdata): āI think youāve needed this for a long time because Iāve been in your bed and you never had aaaany interest whatsoever in doingā¦ anything. Itās one of the very many ways you were always just, not like anyone else around really.ā

I tried this for a while, but honestly it didnāt change for me. I donāt remember now, but I feel more stable with a closer grip (maybe Iām not as strong though). My pinky is almost at the ring. Which yeah is close for a guy with my arm length ahah
Ahahah I guess we really are alike! I still have zero chest, arm or back hair, and nothing, literally nothing on my cheeks. I never shave my body, which is cool when youa re a lifter ahahah
But yeha thatās an annoying distraction. I feel like thereās nothing more beautiful on this earth than the body of a woman. Butās that probably normal, and a normal part of my DNA ahahah
Leaving aside the vast variance of the internet, if my majority of my guy-friends are any indication on whatās to be expected of men, Iām still quite far off. I love each and every one of these lads to bits, but they are horndogs. But, notice the word āmajorityā. There are a few that this does not apply to, but theyāre also somewhat unhappy/stressed/angsty people.
Dinner (6 eggs, cheese, soft cheese, base was a can of tomatoes. Two carrots, and some chives. Added okra when serving but then it wasnāt as pretty). And one piece of chocolate. Had a midday snack (hours ago) which was quark and cashews.
You wait, old age will get ya. Youāll grow hair in places that will take you completely by suprise.
Is this a sign of lacking testosterone or a sign of lacking subtlety?
I really think youāre missing the role subtlety and restraint can play in this. Iāve been told by many people that they wouldnāt be able to guess if Iām straight or gay by the way I behave at work, and sometimes elsewhere. I can assure you itās not a lack of drive or desire, just that Iām happily spoken for, professional, and most of all slowly working my way into dirty old man territory.

You have only 2 years on me ahahah. I guess itās my asian genes.
I donāt think I can put into words adequately that this is not merely a question of subtlety. Iāve looked at the topic in many dimensions. I assure you, they all possess the ability to be subtle.
For what itās worth, I have found that a lack of romantic interest has kept me from getting distracted throughout HS and now uni
The guy friend I keep talking about definitely comes with ābenefitsā- math help, research discussion, a sounding board for econ nerd ideas
After I started receiving TRT, although I donāt have this experience throughtout the entire duration between my shots I finally started to be able to relate to their life-experience. Like, shortly after a shot, a woman can cycle past me and I can just be floored by the way they look or even their fragrance

Iāve never aspired for achievement and would have preferred below average grades to having a life where I get to experience the full spectrum of the human experience.

Alright guys we need to create a group. The Beta-lifters or something
Iām still here waiting for the WOM thread. And still pondering whether or not to suggest more formally an eating disorder sub-forum.
what does this stand for?

@Voxel absolutely not questioning your experiences, just passing on my own observations. Maybe Iām misreading your intention with your original statement, but to my mind, being able to tell someone is a horndog is not a sign of anything other than that they think thatās an appropriate way to behave.
I count 4, but I might be wrong.
I see what you mean. Iām being a bit obtuse in using that word, and itās more as an efficient albeit not perfectly accurate means to communicate a certain aspect.
For what itās worth, I agree 90% with our mutual friend. To miss out on that part of the human experience, for me, would be a tragedy. There arenāt many songs about getting top maths grades, or poems written about a really good research paper.

Could you maybe scratch out that word? 
Iām trying to make it harder to find me for reasons
Otherwise a very good post
