That's great and a similar specially made glove for you would be a good boost.

And I've seriously fell off hard. I didnt return to drug use or anything like that but I've been in a bit of a Michael Douglas "Falling Down" kinda of quasi depression of sorts.

I stopped worrying about diet and started consuming whatever i felt like eating without a second thought. One of the reasons I slowed down with the aas is because I just didnt feel healthy, I looked good but didnt feel inside the way I looked on the outside. With that said I also dont feel healthy eating garbage like i have been lately. Marriage and career havent helped matters much either since it's been leading me towards a more laid back sedentary life, many injuries and turning the page to over 40yo isnt making things any easier either.


I think I can safely say I've lost most if not all of the gains i made from 2018 to 2020. I'm still the same weight but now I'm just fat and soft. It seems as though Covid took a lot of muscle mass off of my frame and it just depressed me further and kept me even further away from the bar and bench

I want to reverse the oncoming tide of obesity and plight of unhealthy living I've been leading. I'm going to start a log and I will post pictures of the before and after updates so yall can point and laugh at your old boy chump and maybe use my falling off as inspiration to not do as I did.


I will be using low dose anabolics to help get me going in the right direction when the time calls for it. For now I think I'm just going to stick to my trt dose and cut fat and then slowly build myself back up. What I dont want to do is to get back into being a pin cushion and I'd like to keep the overall combinex compound dosage to 400mg or less per week with 400 being the extreme.

Keep an eye out in this section for an upcoming log. This isnt a new year new me bullshit run, it's just me trying to get back on the level again. I'm starting by cleaning house and tossing all the cake mixes, cookies, and shit like that today and hitting the supermarket for fresh food.

Screw it! This will be the log. I plan to keep it going from January to January.

I am actually in a similar boat.. almost exactly the same situation but older then you :( I am also debating on whether or not to have shoulder surgery.... Trying to decide if I can live with it or not. Feel free to reach out anytime. I am on TRT dose with creatine and cleaning up diet. low dose hgh coming soon... I have always thought that was the game changer and much more true for me as I have gotten older. Good luck Sir!

Good to see you taking accountability.This has also been the worst year for me.In february i was hospitalized for an infection that spread from my arm to my hand.Sepsis they ended up amputating 2 fingers and my other three are curled inward with no mobility due to the scar tissue and immobility.Huge scar from my upper pec down to my hand.They did a skin graff.Needles to say i was in a coma for 3 months and hospitalized a total of 6+.

I went from 250 down to 180!My test levels were at 33!Now im back on trt and going to order some hooks and get back to the gym once they open up.Wirh the hooks i should be able to pull since my right hand is compromised

Scary stuff. I know another guy that had sepsis and went through hell and I also had a small scare. I got bit by my daughters cat when we were putting it into a crate to take it to the vet. Started wit urgent care and within 3 days was i the emergency room and hospital for 2 days! Fucking cats!!!
 
@bigpoppachump2

When you get back in, try to put out of your mind how much strength you've lost. ( I understand this is almost impossible at the beginning) Focus on how much progress you can make.

When covid first closed gyms where I live... well, my shit went downhill. From Feb to May I lost a lot of size and strength. By the end of May I was around %22 BF.

Started a cut in June and was back at the weights. Dropped 20 lbs in a couple months. My strength level at the beginning was...... well, it was fucked. I quit worrying about it. Focused solely on hypertrophy....lots of supersets. My mindset was fuck trying for PRs or lifting superheavy. Just make my muscles burn....I just shoved my brain into feeling the muscles work. I've always loved that feeling. Just struggle and effort. Become a machine of pure will. Embrace the suck, homeboy. Can you feel me?

Anyways, ran a bulk titrating calories upward around August. By October, I was in the best shape of my life. PR for everything.

Go forth and destroy.

Thats nuts bro.A fucking cat!
 
I'm still here, started a new job this past week and I've been giving 110% of myself towards establishing to the president that he made the right choice and that I'm worth every penny I'm being paid.

My wife threw a curveball at me as well this week asking me if she if she could join in on my lift days :confused: Its not gonna be as annoying as it was before when I was trying to lift heavy but it's still gonna slow things down at times since I'll have to constantly keep re-racking the weights off and on for certain exercises.

Who cares how far down your strength has gone? Just get in the gym, select a MUCH lighter weight, and hit those reps. Less sets than usual. Slowly increase weight and number of sets as you can handle it. Since you are just starting out again, hit the stuff that matters, like squats.

Also, about the pics, hey, GREAT before pics. Keep them for a comparison as warmer weather gets here.

The number one recommendation I could make is this - A.M. fasted cardio if possible. It not only starts burning through the fat, but it starts your day off right and will very much help with the mental fog and depressed feeling. It resets your mood. I hate setting the alarm and heading off in the dark to hit fasted cardio, and, let's face it, I hate cardio. BUT. By the time I am finished and arrive back at my house I FEEL GOOD. Mentally, I am charged up and ready to take on the day. Physically I feel good, too. I do not know how to explain it, but I definitely feel better after a.m. cardio, and you can't argue with the fat burning.

Start tracking calories and macros on MyFitnessPal. Just the act of having to enter your food and drink into that tracking app will make you avoid certain things "Do I really want to put 5 tablespoons of Jiffy Creamy Peanutbutter and 3 cups of Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream into MyFitnessPal and see in front of my eyes what I am doing to my daily macros???"

The answer will frequently be "No," in which case your eating will clean up itself. You will also be sure you are getting enough meat and eggs by making sure that protein number hits its target every day. If it doesn't, then you will need to make adjustments.

Fats? LOL! Tracking is just about the only way to hit your macro goals on fats, since they are so ever present in the American diet.

Track! It will get you on course right away.

Good luck!

Not that my opinion matters but you have been a great asset to this forum. I’ve been in “time out” for a few months but have been lurking. You are one solid dude. Welcome to MESO. No homo. Lol.

You got this bigpoppa. I’ve been there and done that. In a way I’m there now. Lots of good advice given( as is the norm here). The fasted am cardio will set you up to win the day. And that is what it’s all about. One day at a time. In my opinion the Greyskull LP routine is perfect for this situation. Let me know if you are interested and I will send you the program. Keep your head up and kill every day.

GSLP is a really good strength program.

I started out with it when I first started lifting and I still go back to it when I feel like I need to get my strength up or if work is busy and I can only do three days a week. Either that or Doggcrapp are my go-to three-day programs. I definitely wouldn't recommend DC for getting back into the swing of things, though.

You can adjust the target rep range to a more growth based routine instead of a strength based routine also. Add in the frequency training if possible and the results are well worth the effort. In my opinion it’s a great program. Alternating between the Greyskull and a program like Meadows Creeping Death is all you need.
