2022 getting and staying fit thread!

[penguinz]

Pulled 425 the other day. Have made it to my 2023 goal of 1000lb club.

425lb Std Deadlift
275lb Bench
315lb Squat (have more in the tank but ankle injury reducing flexibility so not pushing right now)

Going to push to hit 1200lbs by end of year now.

Went to the Shaw Classic over the weekend. Some crazy demonstrations of strength.

Brian Shaw 14 reps 2000lb leg press.

Is there an at home testosterone test that’s worth a damn?

Just want to see my late 30’s baseline T.

[BigBeauford]

When I started I could barely hit 300 for my output in 30 mins on the bike. Now I'm wondering of I can hit 400 in 30 minutes.

Good news is my PCP had no problem testing my Test levels on request.

Came back this morning:
Total 489
Free 43.6

Thoughts?

Anyone use a Sauna suit when working out? Are they worth it?

Total is lower end of normal.

What are the measurement values for your free? is it 43.6 ng/ml or 43.6 pg/ml?

If it is pg/ml then you are at the bottom end of normal if not below.

Any online would prescribe without hesitation. Your regular doctor might still be hesitent unless you are displaying noticable low T traits. No libido, ED, lethargic, etc..

When I started I was low 400s on total. Don;t remember the free.

The Free Test measure doesn't say how it's measured.

Not to get too personal but I don't have any sexual problems. I still have the libido I had in my teens, and no concerns at all about ED. I don't generally feel tired and I'm busy every day.

Only places I notice is I sleep more poorly than I used to. I also workout as much as I ever have but eat about half the calories I used too and I just can't get very lean anymore. Even when I cut with 1,800 calories I just hold onto bodyfat quite easily, especially my waist and love handles. My strength in the gym has dropped quite a bit in the past few years too.

Squat 315 lbs

Bench 300 lbs

Deadlift 405 lbs


Finally in the 1,000 lb club.

Total: 1,020 lbs

That is basically how I was when I started. Everything in bedroom was still good just sleep issues and got more difficult to maintain muscle/fat.

You would most likely see awesome results if you did start TRT.

I am stronger and leaner than I have ever been.

Could a man take this protein shake with no weird side effects?

https://www.amazon.com/Ritual-Vegan-...zcF9hdGY&psc=1

My lady got this and decided she isn’t going to use it. She claims I could use it but I’m not sure.

Here is the ingredients list: “Organic pea protein, Natural flavor, Organic coconut medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, Xanthan gum, Sunflower lecithin**, Reb-M (from fermented sugarcane), Mixed tocopherols, Organic monk fruit (Luo han guo) extract”

Depends on how nice she wants your tits to look.

Anyone try the "one body part/week" training regimen? is it only for increasing the size of muscles, or can it be tailored for functional strength?

[Titty Meat]

Wow I'm working 60 hours a week and tired as **** I get about 3 days of lifting in a week not shit for cardio and haven't worked out in 4 days. I feel like complete shit this feeling sucks thank God the work load is decreasing here in a few weeks
