Do you think one of them is using gear pt. 2

I saw almost all my family in Lebanon in 2010 but this uncle wasn't there, had work. It's the first time I'm seeing him since 2000 I believe so 13yrs here as well! That's cool with your caber and brother, they going to you or you going to them? Bringing the girl along with you?

You know I 100% agree on picking up heavy shit is much better than looking like xyzz. But at the same time I'd rather not get crazy fat either lol. That's pretty sneaky lol, but it should work and show lower levels! Have you split your dosages yet or still 1x/wk?

Caber on the brain? lol

I'm going to them, they live 4 hours north of me.
The girl isn't coming, she's got family down in Virginia that she's going to see.
(that actually caused a shitstorm again, her sister is annoying and a worry-wort)
I have at least 3 families spread over 3 states and 600 miles that want me present for the holidays.
Inevitably someone is going to get their feelings hurt and I get to deal with the fallout of that.

I've always been on 50mg/2x weekly for 100mg total since August when my endo finally let me take over my own injections. As far as he knows I'm still doing 200mg/e2w so the trough is to be expected.
I need to keep my trough 200ng/dl or a little higher, otherwise if he's paying attention it would be a red flag. My goal is to just get up to 200mg/week and see where that takes me. If it doesn't do anything for me I'll keep the script and play the game in such a way so that I can start stockpiling test for a free cycle once a year or so.

I really don't like being sneaky about this but you really have to on TRT.
Those docs know only enough to be dangerous it seems. It's up to the "patient" to ensure optimal health.
The one fortunate thing being a non-producer is that you can manipulate your numbers with relative ease.

Damn autocorrect. Caber ---> father hahaha.

That's how it is for me. Too much family to go see everyone and someone always gets neglected haha. Ok so I see now what you're trying to achieve level wise. I can only imagine your benefit greatly from being bumped up to 200mg weekly dose. I prefer not going to doctors at all lol. I rarely go no matter what's wrong with me.

I caught your drift :D
Since your family is spread out too, do you find them giving you hell for not visiting or do they understand?

I wonder how much of my strength loss is psychological....
I've been going through a world of shit for the past few months, maybe it's finally catching up to me.


Anyone have anecdotal evidence of psychology affecting strength?

Most are within a very short drive so intend to see them often. Especially the one cousin who's my age. Me and him hang out all the time together. I have some family in Montreal and some in West Virginia but they're understanding bc they never drive up here lol. They know how bad of a drive it is. The rest of my family is mainly spread out throughout Lebanon and France so I rarely ever see them. A handful of times in my 28 years so far. That's tough bc of the cost and distance but when I do to to visit it's usually 3-4wks at a time

I only have my own personal experience, and can say that my mental well being is mandatory for a good workout. If I'm not in the right state of mind, it's hard for me to even get up and go and I'm draggin' ass the whole time. I've never looked into any studies or anything cause I thought it was kinda common knowledge. You gotta try to just shut everything out and focus solely on the matter at hand, which goes for outside the gym as well. That's one of the reasons I wear headphones and a hat to the gym. Don't fuck with me, don't look at me, don't talk to me.

100% for sure psychology can affect training. No doubt in my mind. One day my ex got me so mad and curious I went to the gym to take my anger and aggression out. I had been struggling to break a. PR for 3 1/2wks. Beat the. PR by 35lbs that day :eek: I
Knew if I went in with my normal attitude and memory of defeat from the past attempts I would not have gotten it. I had less rest, less food that day too so it wasn't a carb load or increased weight, better leverages or anything like that. It was simply mind over matter.
 
I just identified 308 on another board, I'm trying to get his name.

Actually just incorporated chins into my back day, did a few sets last night actually so suck it. :p
I know you guys aren't fighting over being able to do chinups. That might actually be the gayest thing ever going on in this thread - and that's saying A LOT. ;)
