[quote]can't do an upright row with 20 LB DB because when I get about Half way up, it hurts bad and locks up.[/quote] Don’t do these at all. Work on external/internal rotation of the cuff and dead hangs to create space in the joint… Upright rows are particularly bad for people who don’t have t...

re: Sweating When Working Out

Cardio’s a different story but I’d be totally dry if not for wearing a hoodie while lifting. It only comes off after high rep sets of squats or deads. I’ll usually have a bit of visible sweat on my t-shirt under the hoodie but the hoodie is not wet....

Thanks to everyone who replied. I really would like to avoid TRT but I don’t want my quality of life to suffer for not doing it. For the time being I’m going to focus on getting down to ~15% body fat (10 lbs) and see how I’m feeling. I’ll continue to do other things to support T production (I ...

[quote]From my experience, at 300 you probably don't think you are experiencing symptoms, but you don't know/remember what it feels like to be at 800+.

H/F board, I need your help. I’m a male in my late 30s who lifts 3-4 week and does some sort of cardio 3-4 times a week. I’ve been doing so for 6-7 years now. I’m 5’11” and weigh 220 lbs. Most recent lifts are: Squat: 405 x 3 Bench: 315 x 6 Deadlift: 405 x 5 I had my GP order a testost...
