Another 2 shirt sweat day but it was so good and what a pump. My partner actually showed up to work upper back and arms with me today. I think it’s been almost a month since I had seen him. A couple of the girls that always seem pretty wild was actually commenting on our pump…I’ve got to admit that’s why I put 115 on that last set, but I was so drained from the heat I only got 8. That’s ok though they seemed impressed.
My buddy actually did pretty good trying to hang in there, but he started with 2 x 12 at 95 and hit 105 for 8 then 4. Still though considering he’s missed a month I thought he did good. Guarantee he’ll feel those biceps tomorrow.

Great session and crazy strong curls! Got to add the weight for them yoga pants girls

 

[MrKleen73]

Nice, 13 reps of 225 for a 2-3RIR is pretty dang impressive. Nice work.

Yeah man, we can’t disappoint.

Thanks Kleen, yeah I was stiff going in, but after a lot of stretching and warmups it went really smooth. To be honest the way I was feeling at first I wondered if I would get 10.

 

[Hyde]

Man I just know I’d love lifting with you; you’re a good training partner for sure. I mean everyone I’ve gotten to lift with from AM has always been so fun to train with.

I appreciate that Hyde…. I know that would be a blast.

When I retire, my wife and I talked about doing a little traveling. I may have to do an AM gym circuit around the US.

We got in some of our new equipment, can’t wait to use the HS ISO Shoulder Press tomorrow, but decided to do a little circuit of 2 sets on the Body Master Multi-Hip he got. And I’ve got to say that is a great machine as part of your warmup routine and getting everything loose. I felt great by the time I did leg press.

Got to test out our new HS Iso Shoulder Press machine today, and as usual with all the Hammer Strength plate loaded machines, I love it. It hits a little different than your standard barbell overhead press. You start at the front of your delts and upper chest but as you press it gradually transitions to directly over your head in the middle, and then at full extension it feels like you are slightly behind the head. So it really feels like it hits the front, side, and a little of your rear delts. It really felt like a perfect complement to the 5/3/1 OHP. Man I love new toys, especially when they are cool.

 

[Hyde]

The first gym I trained at had one; it was super cool. Used to use it a lot early on!

Yeah that’s the machine he got for $800 at Georgia Tech…It looks brand new. He’s putting in a couple more of the new machines this week. Can’t wait to see what else Summer Santa brings us this week.

Man 800 seems like a steal! Is it color themed also?

 

[gphagan1]

Man 800 seems like a steal! Is it color themed also?

Yes, it’s white…and he organizes his gym really well. He doesn’t just arbitrarily put in a machine. He will re-arrange and set it up with machines that train similar muscles. That way if you want to train with supersets or circuit train, you can stay in the same area and not have to run back and forth all over the gym. The only thing really off to the side by itself is the deadlift platform. And he keeps all his equipment in top condition.

Thanks Dustin…yeah it felt good, and the biggest positive, there has been no shoulder issues as I’ve been progressing in weight.

its weird. its almost as though in 2026 you and I have really benefited from a consistent, slow and programmed increase in intensity and volume as though my prior a.d.h.d. take everything to faillure whenever I feel like it wasn't quite as good.

I know it’s like we’re in this parallel universe.
Ha, and we both injured our knees around the same time and recovered without surgery, thankfully.
I am really liking the way 5/3/1 is moving along. Having a properly programmed workout does make a difference.

 

[Dustin07]

man me too. this go of 531 is treating me better than my last few. instead of loathing cycle 3, I'm looking forward to it. I'd bet 100% its cause i'm ten lbs heavier, eating more, and not adding 6 WODS a week so my recovery has been 10x better.

Felt like a pretty solid workout considering I was drained when I got to the gym today. It could be the heat and humidity or could have a little to do with I haven’t had my TRT injection since Friday 6/12, so it’s been 12 days. Friday evening, after my shower I was getting my stuff together for my injection and I knocked my bottle of Test off the sink, it hit the toilet and the bottle shattered, and yes it was my last bottle. The bad part is my normal source is out and won’t have any for 3 weeks. I’m going to have to bite the bullet and order some online. I just hope they can get it to me within a week. I have Clomid, but I really didn’t want to have to take a serm and PCT. Man I’ve been on TRT since I was 55 , so 6 years and don’t really want to go the PCT route, just to start right back up in a few weeks, so I’ll probably just tough it out until I get more.

 

[MrKleen73]

That sucks, I hope you can find some, if I had a surplus I would just send you some.

 

[gphagan1]

Thanks Kleen…. I should be fine. When I get time today I’m going to check out a couple of sites that I’ve used in the past for domestic shipping.

Thats wild, I was literally thinking about this same scenario yesterday should I ever go the TRT route. the "what if" last bottle type stuff. I already have that lifestyle with contacts and contact solution just so I can see lol.

But how is your overall mood etc? It seems like 12 days+ would put a damper on things, yet you're still killing it with that bench day.

Truthfully mood wise I feel fine, and I’m not having any issues with drive in the gym. The half life is like 5 days, so I probably wouldn’t start to notice until next week. But I’ll be fine….guess I’m just gonna have to focus a little more on the yoga pants booty between sets. “Hey girl can you come over here and give me a spot, I need a little boost.”

“Thanks, I needed that.”

I look at your teenage worthy libido and compare it to one of my best friends here locally who is turning 70 lately and has been on TRT for about 12+ years now. I've never seen such a horny man in my life. (I really wish he didn't do ozempic though cause now his shoulders are shrinking) and I think this is how I want to be in my 60s and 70s. My buddy Daryl at the local gym is about 6'4, black man in his 60s and it cracks me up when the 22yr old yoga pants on the squat rack starts doing RDL's and he just winks at me and gives me a fist bump. he is my brother for life. lol

from a biological standpoint I'm just curious about at what point "withdrawals" would kick in and when you would feel shitty without it? it seems like you're doing fine so far!

but then again I'm also a firm believer that mental strength is so dang important that a man with low T can life a life thats better and more masculine with a man that has high T and a weak mind.

 

[Dustin07]

I think I sorta base my own hormonal well being off libido. If libido is down then chances are the rest of life are suffering. if libido is up, everything is doing pretty well. I do miss the hyper aggression I get from megadosing epiandro. I almost enjoy being angry at the other cars on the road when commuting, but I don't like the dht/hair shedding, higher blood pressure, anxiety, or shrinking balls.

 

[MrKleen73]

After reading in SMonts log about someone running 35mg of trest a week as temporary TRT it made me think of you because I think you have stated you like Trest so i was curious if you had any to fill in the gap?

 

[gphagan1]

No, I wish I did though because I would do that. You know I definitely see how Trest could help bridge the gap on TRT. But truthfully before TRT I didn’t really have a libido problem even with my Test levels in the 400s. I’ve been horny for many years….it’s just Trest makes me super horny.

 

[Hyde]

If you have zero orals or oils on hand and can get some test in 3-4 weeks, I’d go to MA Research & order some RAD150 liquid today, then stop at the supermarket or vitamin store on the way home for the highest mg DHEA you can find. And take 100-300mg DHEA daily on feel along with some AI as needed, then add some RAD150 orally eod when it arrives next week until testosterone showed up.

The SARM isn’t good for lipids, but you’ll be making gains and kicking even more ass likely

That’s actually a good idea…. I do have Mast and Anavar. I had pretty much decided not to take orals again, but I could take a little Anavar pre workout and I do have some Diesel Test that Chuck sent me for helping keep his yoga pants thread going, that should keep going on workout days.

Oh man if you have Diesel Test definitely take that daily. If it’s not the Pro Cyle or whichever one has DHEA, add store brand DHEA from the grocery/pharmacy supplement section too.

I would probably use the Mast over the Var, if you don’t mind opening it. 100mg weekly of that with the Diesel Test & DHEA daily should have you more or less covered.

But if you’re saving the Mast, a little Var will definitely be better than nothing in another week here when test levels get very low.

Yeah it’s his D Test that has DHEA and Pregnenolone in it. I was saving the Mast to run a cycle with Test and low dose Trest probably in the Fall just to see how far I could push 5/3/1 to the end of the year, and finish with a bang, but I can always get more Mast. So I actually like that idea, because I always feel great with Mast.

Yeah Chuck is back and popped into his yoga pants thread, a couple of months ago, and thanked me and Shorse for keeping that thread going. He sent us both a bottle of Diesel Test and a new pre-workout he is coming out with. He still pops into some of the other threads here and there too.

That's awesome. I remember I tested his NOS Ether way back when. Didn't he have something called like Cock Diesel?? One of the OGs.

 

[1HP]

Oh man that brings back memories

everyone's balls are about to be diesel that uses DTH, Sumami or DT2010....or any combo of the 3!

Like one customer said, DTH gives him balls like cran-apples.

I even ran a log in 2008 tracking my testicular size while on DTH, fun times.

Took the Diesel Test today and man I forgot how that stuff increases sweating. I also forgot it has some Yohimbe in it, so I went ahead and took a blood pressure pill, because Yohimbe always jacks up my blood pressure.
I helped the owner put together another new machine and was the first to test it out. It’s the York Hack Squat/Front Squat machine. It really hits the legs great. The Hack squat with back against the pad hit the quads, hams and glutes really well, then you turn around and have a different shoulder pad position for front squats, and man it doesn’t take very much weight to blast the quads. Oh and I had a 50 mg injection of Mast E this evening.
