@BOTSLAYER you have an opinion on my question? Originally was going to tag you but I didn’t know if this was your wheel house being as you pick up heavy weight and set it down 
I just want to look like I pick up heavy weight
First couple weeks just have fun trying everything like you are doing imo. Both to find out what exercises you like and also a mental break (that is kind of why you joined a commercial gym was a change of scenery).
After that build your workouts around a main compound and then finish with some fluff and puff fun!

Not necessarily. Heres my rule of thumb. I try to get 20-25 working sets per muscle group per week.
So like 5 exercises 4 sets once a week or maybe 4 exercises 3 sets twice a week. Something like that. My biggest area of focus is once I’m warm to push to failure on almost every set. Just force as much blood into the muscle as humanly possible and then eat and rest to recover. I like to do drop sets on the last set of an exercise.
Backs a tricky one because a lot of the movements hit multiple muscle groups. I tend to split it into back, and Lats. Looks like a solid session to me!

Weight is still 225-229. I can’t seem to break into the 230’s. Really frustrating as I already make myself almost sick with eating now. Guess I’ll have to add in some junk or liquid calories somewhere. So much for a successful bulk before cutting during the 2020 Transformation lol

Weight gainer shake is by far the easiest calories you can get. Looks like an awesome shoulde session. Other than the shoulders hurting what makes you think you crashed your e2? Did you recently change your protocol? I didn’t remember that you were taking test…
I’m on TRT. Since gaining the weight I’ve just felt a couple things different that i associated with high E. Took a little bit of arimidex and here we are lol

Hmmm… how much did you take? I never have joint pain when mine is low, but am a supper grumpy dude. Just feel really irritable when it’s too low.

I think it’s 1.25mg/ml and I took .25ml. I’d have to look at the bottle to be sure. My e runs pretty low normally
I don’t recognize a mood change, but I’m always depressed so that’s probably why. I do notice it in my joints though. Even though I’m only 27, my body has been rode hard and put up wet, and not the good way . Wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, and sometimes back all hate me.
@unreal24278 I didn’t want to keep side tracking that other thread so thought I’d ask here. What website do you use to calculate FFMI?
Dextrose. It actually isnt as sweet as sugar but digests faster and easier than sugar. For me sugar made me feel gross but Dextrose didnt. Same calories as sugar (4/gram).
Dextrose is a primary ingredient in most weight gainers but buying it separately should be a ton cheaper and you will have more flexibility with how you use it. Thor puts it on his rice.
I would put it in Black Tea for Intra workout. Also in my preworkout and post workout shakes.
Or like Jackolee said just get a weight gainer for ease.

Make sure to throw some overhead tricep movements in there. It will smoke your triceps up higher towards the arm pit. You don’t really hit that area with push downs and kick backs. Killer workout dude!

Would ezcurl bar skull crushers be good? Over head cable work I never feel it there. I also had plans to do close grip bench but all the bars were being used for ridiculous things

Yeah ez bar skull crushers would work. Just extend back pretty far. I really like kneeling overhead rope extensions too

Well the good news is I have a home gym so I’ll do both of those later today!
My medical head is really lacking. It’s rock hard flexed but very small. I have horrible arms to begin with but I feel that’s the least developed part.
Found this? Looks pretty good. What are your thoughts?

So I did a couple sets of pin presses at 195 and I just don’t feel it in my triceps 
Same with the kneeling overhead push down things.
Am I broken?

I would bet its because of the arm workout earlier. They are probably numb lol. Try them again after a few days of rest.
