rmedina wrote😂😂😂😂😂😂2025 has been pretty good for myself. Hitting the weights 6 days a week. I always start off in a hoodie, but once it comes off it's go time.. It feels good when young bucks approach me asking for tips. The one thing i have notice is i have to work my shoulders at least twice a week to maintain the caps. I'll be 49 in august. Also, get your testosterone levels checked. If your levels are low, trt will make a huge difference if you put the work in.
TRT obv feels great at first. But once you’re on, your body stops producing its own.
I know I dont need it - I make plenty. But some men do medically need it for normal levels.

What muscle groups are feeling strong, which ones are not?
What changes have you made to your workout that have helped?

floridaorange wroteI was at 300. 6 months of strength and HIIT training doubled mine. No TRTTRT is like medicine for those with 300 ng/dL on multiple morning labs. Similar to a diabetic needing insulin. Otherwise it’s best to focus on sleep, stress, belly fat, inflammation, insulin resistance, sex, lifting heavy. And Vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, boron.

Mason Hatcher wroteThats awesome - prob should have been more clear. If you are doing all that you can to get your levels to normal - but levels in morning tests stay low regardless then intervention is not bad.I was at 300. 6 months of strength and HIIT training doubled mine. No TRT
I dont get tested - I like you know what program to run to feel my best.
CBO wrote7%? sheesh that is low, bodybuilder competitors go for 3-4%.I've been a weight lifter for about 15 years. Started a desk job 2 years ago and really started holding weight. So, 6.1.24 I started counting macros, limiting carbs to under a 100g a day, 2000 calories and running everyday. Starting was 235 pounds (I'm 5'11") and about 25% body fat.
I'm currently 165 pounds, up to 5 miles a day at a 7 minute pace and 7% body fat. Still lifting every day too but no where the same amount of weight.
Not really a 'new year' goal but thought I'd share. It's been one hell of a journey
I'm shorter at 5'5'' and weigh 160, my body fat is around 12-13%. I'll bench 315lb x2, deadlift 495lb x1, squat 350lb x3, ohp 170lb x3 weekly (pyramid lighter weight to these), among other exercises
