Been reading here a while but wanted to interact, even though that means constant flaming when I fuck up...

That being said, I'm 36, avid lifter and have my own gym next to my house. This has become a lifestyle for me after years of on and off.

6'1"
205ish currently
Don't know bf % but I can see my abs the crotch "V".

Been on TRT since the beginning of this year.

Goals are to bench 405, DL 450, and squat 450.

Learned a lot here already concerning diet and training...looking forward to more knowledge.

Best lifts to date:
335 bench, 425 DL, 355 squat.

Welcome aboard. You done any cycles yet? What type of training do you do?

I don't know if I have a type of training. My work buddy competes as a physique bodybuilder...he taught me a lot. But on my own I focus on strength. I use lifts to increase other lifts...like incline dumbbell press and triceps work to advance my flat bench..
I just like moving weight. Once I hit a wall...i switch up what I'm doing.

As far as cycles...i started a test c with a tiny bit of deca (elbow pain) about 8 weeks ago...still pinning test but not deca.

Thanks for having me.

You and I are the same age and have the exact same lifting stats. Crazy! Glad to have you here.

That's awesome....we should do a friendly competition sometime.

We've got some of those in the powerlifting section. Feel free to start your own. Friendly competition is great motivation.

Race to the 4/5/6 milestone (the big 3 lifts)

Race to a 700lb Deadlift

That would likely kill me. I feel like a beast pulling up 425 on a dead. I will say even at that weight my form is shit. I'm afraid I will have to watch from the porch while the big dogs are chasing those numbers.

You don't have to hop in those. There's a handful of guys chasing a five plate deadlift around here that would probably get in on it. Just a thought.

Well we are both at 1200lbs on our big 3 so 1500 in a few years is not out of the question. Especially with test and tren cycles.

I've got no doubt we can build the muscle to do that. My question is will the bones and joints and tendons handle it?

Wow those are some crazy odds if it's that exact.

Welcome op!

Bizarre coincidence for sure.

It will change...I'm still gaining ground month to month...overall I am impressed with my progress. I went from visceral fatty to lean in 4 months...and less than a year ago I had a 1RM of 225 on flat bench. Still chasing numbers though!

Welcome op!

Thanks for having me.
