The TL;DR version is:
Started TRT to deal with energy / high fatigue issues.

Those apples look delicious!
I wish I had a fruit tree, but we have so many deer they'd just eat them all. They basically eat any type of plant around here, even ones that are supposedly deer...

Finished with these cup cake sized apple pies my step daughter made with the apple pie filling my wife canned this weekend from our apples and I woke up at 205lbs this morning lol. I've picked...
We have a Granny Smith apple tree and a pear tree, and they keep us supplied for the Summer and Fall. My wife usually makes preserves with them and then we eat the rest or put them in smoothies...

Awesome to hear the PR! Also really great when it's a come back story, particularly as we all age. But that's both mental toughness/grit, being smart about training, AND playing the long game...
Thank you….That’s so true, and it feels like the comebacks that take years to get there are so rewarding. Yeah, in 2024 it felt like I just couldn’t make up any ground, and then the Summer went...
MAN THAT IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE! 🎉🥳🙌🔥
Awesome work. I know what it’s like to go years between PRs. It was 5 & a half years to put 5 more lbs on my deadlift this February. And I have...

Did 45 minutes of fasted cycling this morning, 40 LISS and 5 HIIT. Went ahead and took my GH in the morning, whacked 500mg l-carn prior as well as a cap of Thermagize XT.
Got all my bloodwork...
Glad to see you back on AM and posting! Someone's got to class up this joint.
Work travel has been ramping up lately, so was up early again yesterday for an all day meeting in NYC. Meant...
I don't think I would have used the word backfired after all the talk about him squeezing his glutes while thinking of you. Just sayin!
I am sure of this, there is a lot of carry-over...
Looking good! A common issue most have with this shot is not allowing yourself to pull up with the arms ao they hit parallel. That will also help you open up the lats vs scrunch the upper back...
Thank you very much!!
Maybe so! That’s good to know it’s not just me! If you don’t mind me asking, how long was her recovery between mastectomy and restoration?
Thank you!!! It is exciting to...
I sure hope so!
Had a pretty good upper body session this morning. Sleep has been a little off the past few days- waking up more throughout the night. So I was a little tired but nothing I...
We are your safe space brother! Also I don't think any of us ever try to post our worst shots. Well unless maybe there is a transformation contest, then bloat it out, don't shave and don't flex...
I did a lot of glute bridges during my rehab. the big 3 for me were the RDL's, very high rack pull Deadlifts to get heavy weight in my hands, which I think stimulates growth/recovery, but safely...

Jumping back in here! It’s been too long!
Still looks like a great session even if you didn’t feel it was a strong day! I feel those shifts a lot! Crazy how one day you can feel that way and...
I have heard some of this analogy before, but not with as much detail, but the gist was stop focusing on the rear view mirror there is a reason it is smaller than the windshield and windows. Man I...
Man I’m so glad you’re feeling better. And thank you for sharing, because not only does it help you, but it can help others when going through similar challenges. I’ve seen firsthand what you can...
@Hyde great response, and advice. While my demeanor was a bit odd yesterday, with a big mix of medications, speeding from my inhaler, and a large burst of androgens from my catch up shot to catch...
