Approved Log TRT and training Log with Steroidify

[2Thick]

Finally back in the gym. Started back this past Monday. My son lost in the championship 14-7. Tough loss but a hard fought game. Anyways. Been back since Monday with no back pain but I don’t think it started from what I originally thought in helping a buddy move. I had a visit with my doctor and he had reminded me back in 2020 they xrayed my lower back and I had arthritis starting then. He’s thinking it flaring up. My luck since turning 40 on the 13th I’m officially an old man lol But the training has been going really well this week I have incorporated more stretching especially of the lower back added in with my daily cardio and training. Trying to prolong this arthritis as long as possible. Hit shoulders today been staying with lower weight just trying to get back into it. Debating on running a small cycle this winter but haven’t decided on that yet. Anyways hope all is well with everyone. Have a great week.

We definitely want to see some updates. 40 years old is a big year. It's time to definitely push things. @ballin2504

@ballin2504 solid work bro...keep killing it......

Been a bit since I’ve updated and going to try to keep this updated more often or start a new log of just life and training.

To start I’ve been sick as a dog the last 4 days. Pretty sure it’s the flu and it’s been a killer. Dropped from 207 to 198 and can’t keep anything down but I think I’m almost past this. We also had about 18 inches of snow and an inch of ice dumped on us over that past 2 weeks so traveling anywhere has been nonexistent. They have called off my work for a week or so but this doesn’t really affect me as I can do most all of my work from home during the winter. My kids haven’t had school in two weeks to this weather so I’ve had to sit home and watch them. When I was able to eat, I was sticking really good to my diet and still getting good cardio in but the issue I am facing now is after speaking with my doctor. I’m going to have to have a shoulder surgery at some point this year because the pain is getting unbearable at points with this time I’ve had off. It is definitely helped and it is manageable and I’m looking to get back into the gym this week.

The shoulder surgery that I’m going to have to have is called Distal Clavical Excision or Mumford Prcedure. It’s where you have an impingement in your shoulder from the end of your collarbone that is impending a tendon that gets in there seems like it’s pretty common and weightlifters. It’s a very minimal surgery with very little physical therapy to return to normal. The only issue is is you sign a release when you go to have the surgery if there are rips and tears in your shoulder, they fix them while they are in there if this is the route they have to take then it becomes much worse and a shoulder surgery is extremely hard to come back from from what I hear from friends that I’ve had it so I’m praying it’s just the first option. I’m looking to get back into training this week just doing some light training mostly just keeping up with my cardio and getting my lungs and heart stronger. I will keep everyone updated with my training as soon as I get back. Hopefully I can get this surgery completed within the next couple months and be on course for a recovery to get back into training like I like. I hope that everyone had a good holiday season and everyone stays healthy for this year. Also, I have attached a picture from Google of kind of what the surgery will be.

 

[ballin2504]

Finally got back in for a couple weeks of training and cardio. It was much needed to say the least. The shoulder pain is there but manageable. It really only bothers me with pressing motions like shoulder or chest press so I have been working my way around it. Got 2 weeks of solid training in with about 80% of my normal working load on all sets. The strength is still there but not risking injury. Been hitting my daily cardio of a minimum of 30 mins a day on the treadmill at a 3.5 incline and a 4 speed. Steps are staying around 10k a day and the diet has been very consistent. Not been tracking macros but eating healthy options and not splurging. I also throw in a 24 hour fast once a week.

For the upcoming future if I can keep the pain manageable I am going to try to run a more mild cycle in the spring. Keeping it around 14 weeks with a mixture of masteron eq test and either anavar or tbol but I haven’t decided yet. This will be a recomp cycle. If I jump in with both feet first I will start up another log. That is the plan as of now as long as I can stay healthy.

Hope everyone has a great upcoming week.

@ballin2504 good to see an update out of you champ. I definitely see where you're coming from when it comes to not risking injury. Honestly I miss training super heavy but I don't miss the injuries I was dealing with either.

 

[Mobster]

I'd do what I could to pre-exhaust the shoulder then press

Those steps really do go a long way. I definitely know when I used to go walking twice a day, it really made a difference on my waistline.

Nice job doing the fasting for 24 hours once a week. @ballin2504 that's some good commitment right there. I like it.

Good update man, short and to the point. Anavar and T-bol is a good decision. If you want to go the cheaper route, go with T-bol. @ballin2504

 

[ballin2504]

Well I actually had a pretty pain free week of training. The shoulder hasn’t been giving me really any issues unless I sleep on it wrong and there is some slight paid until I get it moving around the next morning.

Hit shoulders yesterday and normally have an impingement on shoulder press on the smith machine but nothing. Was able to get up to 3 working sets @ 245 for sets of 8 which is more like 225 on the smith machine but it was good to get some heavier weight moving for a minute. Also did 6 sets of side raises with the 35 lbs dumbbells with 3 second negatives. Reverse pec deck for 4 working sets. Finished off with 45 lbs plate front raise with 3 second negatives. It was nice getting a workout in pain free for once. Hopefully it can stay this way.

Got a touchdown in from Steroidify with a few goodies for me (the injectables) and some orals for a buddy of mine. Also I’m a sneakerhead so hence the reasoning of the Jordans in the pic.

 

[ballin2504]

Good morning guys!

Everything has been going extremely well as of recent with my training and cardio. The shoulder pain is almost non existent at this point. I can manipulate my lifts to where the pain is nothing more than a small sting. I’m hoping to keep the surgery pushed out as long as possible.

Been focusing on cardio with getting an average of 11k steps in a day and 30 -45 min of cardio at the gym. Been leaning up nicely and down to around 195-200 lbs.

Had a successful chest day this morning pushing decent weight and got a really good pump. Its mentally draining knowing I can push more weight but I don’t want to risk the injury.

Flatbench 4 sets with 2 warm up sets. 60 sec rest between sets

100 lb dumbells for 12
100 lb dumbells for 10
105 lb dumbells for 8
110 lb dumbells for 5 felt gassed on this set shooting for 6

Cross cable flys 6 sets to failure with tight squeeze at the top

Hammer strength incline

3 sets of 225

Set 1 for 8 reps
Set 2 for 6 reps
Set 3 for 5 reps

Ended the workout with incline push ups using the smith machine bar with a wide grip. Worked 4 sets to failure on this.

Finished up the workout out with 30 min of cardio while I watched Netflix. Had to get this workout in early this morning as I have a training I will be sitting in all day for work. They will have a bunch of junk food so I chose to used today as my fasting day. Seemed like the right time.

 

[ballin2504]

Good Monday brothers!

Had a real nice chest day today and pushed some good weight without much pain in the shoulder at all. If it stays this way I may be able to avoid surgery.

Incline hammer strength

3 set of 225 for 14 reps
2 sets of 275 for 10 reps each

Dumbbell bench press

100s set 1 for 12
110s set 2 for 8
115s for 7

Cable flies 3 sets to failure low, mid and high flies

Incline pushups onthe smith machine 3 sets to failure

Had a a good pump in my chest and felt really full.

As for life I am in the process of getting a sleep study started so I can get a cpap. It is long over due as my wife said I have had issues for years I just never did anything about it. This is also the time when my construction season gets started so I’m going to be slammed with work starting here in the next couple weeks.

I’ll keep everyone updated with how life is going with training! Hope everyone has an awesome week. Keep killing it fellas!!!

@ballin2504 not having shoulder pain is an absolute blessing. Shoulders are probably the number one injury for weightlifters and they're so annoying.
