Have you ever thought about dropping down below 300? Now might be a good wakeup call.

No and my body-weight wasn't a factor so... Indeed all the other people who had a similar medical complaint recently weighed less and some were worse off than me (two required breathing aids).

My body-weight will come down at some point as there are few to none big, heavy old men.

Recovery etc
So I've referred to many times the 2016 issue I had. A 16 week out of the gym back issue. I'd had little tweaks and injuries which came from pushing hard in the gym and competing to world record levels previously. It's a price you pay and world records come with risks. What I'd learned from that and from hitting the gym right after competitions was you CANNOT go back in, especially post cycle, at the same level. Seems fkin obvious top me now but I had to learn the hard way.

In 2016 I KNEW there was no fkin way I'd be able to go back to the gym at anywhere close to 100% of where I'd been before. Even 70-80% might have had a bunch of risks for injury and putting myself back. So I deliberately went in at 60%. So a 300lb bench for reps MUST start at 180lbs. It took me about 4-6 weeks to push to 90% (270lbs) and then get back on the grind where I'd been before and aiming for new PB's and the like.

This bout of Pneumonia is the same. With, perhaps, the added issue of wanting the immune system to be working. There's ZERO point, even if I can (and I have felt I can go harder), going hard and slowing down full recovery. It might be both tempting and frustrating to go hard but you'd only slow everything down and so take even longer to get back to where you wanna be.

That said the plan is 60% week 1 (this week),. 80% week 2 (next week) and back on the plan week 3. I MIGHT see where I am on the bench Friday. Letting the cards fall how they want. I DO have the advantage that unlike 2016 and 16 weeks (4 months) this is just 2 or so weeks. So the process can be a little quicker.
 
Thursday
@ Powerhouse. Feeling 80% today and only kinda glad I held back a notch (just starting to feel the effects at the end). Nice to see my gym buddies (a few who had offered to do sh*t for me when I was full blown ill)

Dumbbell Curls

Tricep Pressdown
to 15p x 8 reps easy

Standing BB Wrist Curls

Friday
@ Powerhouse. The plan was 'see what happens'. If nothing else seeing what effect the Pneumonia has had on my numbers. We (Ken and and Chris) flew along on the bench press only slowing down when we got close to max numbers. That said it went well
Close Grip Bench Press
to 185kg/407lbs x 1 rep

Iso-Mid Row (Hammer style machine)
to 120kg/264lbs a side x 6 reps @

MiraFit 60mm Rolling Handle

Sunday Musings...
Something I do which works for strength more than it does muscle building is plan the following days workout. Typically by writing it out. No, just like a bodybuilding workout, there IS flexibility in the workout. By way of example tomorrow is set to be Lever Squats with the top set aiming to be 340kg/748lbs for a minimum of 4 to a max of 8 reps. The other leg day workout.

If you look at all the top lifters / strength athletes they nearly all work to a plan. One example I've used is the first man to hit 1000lbs in the Deadlift - Andy Bolton. He has mentioned in articles and his e-books how he stays on plan through a training cycle so as to be within 10% of a planned number (still close to 800lbs in his case).

It's almost a case of 'do what the plan says' even if I'm not feeling 100% which makes life easy. And in strength, again more than a muscle building workout, it's a very short period of time (Time Under Tension). With a typical bodybuilding workout (properly done) the aim should be to work the muscle hard enough to stimulate growth. And that can and does vary. Even in my workouts there are days when I have felt like doing the whole thing again and others where I've barely made it through the plan.

I'd argue that newbies need to stick to a plan and will progress well. The more experienced and advanced trainee should (must) have enough experience to know when to push and grow more and hold back. One thing I occasionally see in those new to PEDs is staying on the previous levels when they MUST up their game on (and tweak it after) so as to get as much as they can from a cycle.
 
Monday
Held back a little as I'm still lacking in 'wind'. Recovery between sets was a little harder than normal so it wont kill me to take another week. I DID do some steps earlier (before 9am)
Lever Squat
100kg/220lbs x 8 reps, 200kg/440lbs (tweaked down from a planned 220kg) x 6 reps, 320kg/704lbs (tweaked down from a planned 340kg/748lbs) x 4 reps

Iso lever Leg Press (one leg at a time)
didn't bother using 50kg. Straight to 100kg/220lbs x 8 reps, 180kg/396lbs x 5 reps @

Lying Leg Curls
4p x 8 reps, 8p (down from a planned 9) x 4 reps (more there)

Leg Extensions
1/2 stack x 8 reps, stack x 4 reps (more there)

Bwt: 315lbs (eating well enough so...)

You are what I would call skinny fat. You probably don't need gear at the moment. Get your diet in check first and make sure you are training with intensity. Good luck brother!
 
hopefully you get your wind back soon
 
I would do maybe 50% deloading for the next week
 
mobster you think you have bigorexia?
 
nah mobster just likes being big and strong

Nope. I've said before muscle is a secondary concern - strength is primary. However, it IS an indication that what I'm doing works. Right now any weight loss or gain is a measure of my recovery or lack of the same from my illness.

In addition I'd say If it was an issue why aren't I hitting the crazy dosages or stacks others do just to stay big. At the mo it's 50mg a day of var (longer than intended cos of the illness setting me back) and my usual daily MK677 at 20mg

Further to my earlier reply. On occasion, back in the day, I've seen those studying for a degree post up links to a questionnaire which would help them formulate a paper. I never took part because it annoyed me. They'd get the info and with luck a degree but we, those helping. NEVER got to see the end results. It might have proven useful to us.

I'll address some aspects.

Spending hours training. What this really means is a 'need' to go to the gym. As in, and we've seen a few, those hitting the gym or exercising EVERY day. I literally commented on one log yesterday to the effect that the member was in the gym 6 days a week. I train 4x a week (M/T/T/F).
Non-stop diets. Basically always either bulking or cutting. Again I've seen logs where someone says I wanna add weight. Bulks up and immediately freaks out cos they can't see their abs or a vein disappears. In my case I (and you've seen my logs) I eat less than many here and deffo care less about hitting protein macros. Various references talk about similarities to eating disorders. Of course that can and does include others thinking we all have issues cos we wanna eat clean. I don't eat clean lol.
Steroid misuse. See my earlier reply. Not only do I use less (and less often) than most here I've been banging the use less and stay off as much as you can drum since I've been here. Of course those arguing about steroids would call ALL of us steroid mis-users lol
Depression/thoughts of suicide/hating your body. Nope. I have had one dark period (mentioned in passing) back in 2011 and even then it was depression only and was not related to the gym. Indeed 2010, the year before, was possibly my best year.

What IS true of the majority here is I AM motivated to be 'better' (whatever that means). It might mean, as it does for me, wanting to keep being stronger today than yesterday. I HAVE said that what motivates me can and does change. By that I mean what drives me to kick ass and go get it can differ from day to day. I have also said that I have trained for so long (4+ decades now) that it is a part of me and my lifestyle.

And I am a lifter not a bodybuilder.

Any studies on the immune system while on cycle? I had a sore throat the other day but I think it’s because my sinuses are so bad right now and I’m probably breathing through my mouth while I sleep. Anyways, made me wonder if most people get an immune boast while on increased test or other peds.

Read more of the log.

I do 3 different core leg moves.
1) Hatfield Squats
2) Lever Squats and
3) Power Squat Machine Squats

I am, due to age and restrictions (and which has been mentioned in the log multiple times), unable to get both hands on a straight bar for normal squats.

On the Hatfields (safety bar and holding the rack) I wanna do 1 rep with 800lbs this year. Lever Squats 400kg/880lbs and on the machine 650kg or more

As such I've no idea. But we're all well aware of over training and its effects. These can and often does include symptoms of a suppressed immune system.

No. Arguably the opposite. Stevesmi talks about the inflammatory actions of PEDS. It's a fine balancing act between recovering to grow and get stronger vs illnesses like colds etc

You have any world records left to break?
Click to expand...
Official ones I want to break? Maybe 1. And even then I'm not sure I wanna pony up the cash to go to the Arnold just cos but the 3-inch Saxon bar world record is 136.5kg/300lbs or so. So maybe that 1 unofficially. I did 117.5kg a couple of months ago so 120kg/264lbs is next.

Personal records or challenges sure. They keep me motivated to keep my foot down and push rather than ease up. They are:
200kg/440lbs bench press. I was SUPER fkin close (192.5kg x 2 x 1 reps - against my all time best of 195kg x 1 a few months back) just before the illness. I'd like to see if I can get back to that real quick. I'm on a promise of a lush cheesecake if I do. WHEN I do I'll aim for 220kg/484lbs (5 plates a side by the end of 2024)
The 800lbs x 1 rep Hatfield Squat (about 8 and a half plates each side of the bar)
Maxing out my Lever Squat machine at 400kg/880lbs x 1. That's 10 plates a side. I don't count the lever arms etc on any machine.

3 plates a side on an EZ bar for 4 on lying skull crushers at about 129kg or a little under 286lbs
I'd also like to get back to my best on the seated BB press. That'd be reps with 120kg/264lbs and a max rep with 130kg/286lbs

On the inflammatory thing. Stevesmi has stated that foods are etc etc. However, so is exercise. Indeed we deliberately stress our muscles, which causes said issue, which then under ideal conditions respond to the stress by growing etc etc.

The real issue, touched upon above is avoiding too much aka over training. In the past, and I've talked about this before, I have deliberately pushed it at the end of a training cycle so as to allow for what is called 'super compensation'. By making myself dog tired and then having 4 clear days before a competition. By day 4 I am ready to rock and fkin roll.

What no one wants is to feel ill, tired, run down etc. This can show up in spots, cold sores, tiredness and so on. While PEDs help too much, as we all know, is just as toxic (Tren I'm looking at you). Why take so much that you make yourself unwell AND train like a dog to boot.

Tricks such as monitoring your resting heart rate and going back over logs to see if you are in fact progressing and not getting injured, sliding back etc are all important.

Oh I am not anywhere close yet. I am just starting back into powerlifting movements after a long time. I am not going to even try anything heavy until I start a cycle in which I can be in a calorie surplus. I am just doing 5x5 and am hoping to be above 500 on that by months end. My formula says to multiply by 1.2 and that gives your max. It has never failed me on myself or my wife when training for comp. In fact most of the time its actually a little more than 1.2. Theoretically I should be above 545x5x5 by summer time as long as I stay healthy. 600x5x5 by this time next year is where I want to be. Have to make sure and go easy on all chest/pressing movements. I have no hard feelings on backing off on pressing stuff. My deadlift is going to be my main thing over the next 6 months. Whatever it takes to get there. I will get it. I am going to have to find another gym that is powerlifting friendly as I need to be able to do reverse hypers.

As simple as it might seem the 5 x 5 (or 5 x 3 as I have my guys do) is simple but effective. Planning long term, like next year, is the way to go.

You are what I call blind and daft. How is 320lbs or so skinny fat? There are literally photos of me in this thread. I'm 2x the size of my buddies and pushing 2x their weights. I've been lifting for 43 years (44 this year) and did my first cycle at age 37 (I'm 59 now).
 
Ordered this today. Rated to 1500lbs where as my current bar is rated to 770lbs and I want 800lbs soon. It comes with additional handles

It's, as often as not, an issue of head space. I know, for example, that if you are as strong as you are now, you WILL be stronger later on. As crazy as some of my numbers are or might seem they are only a few kilos or pounds better than what they were before. Do that enough times and you end up at 715lbs for reps or seeing 800+lbs as possible. Equally, wanting to have been able to do another 1-2 reps.

I'm reminded of Ronnie Coleman being asked about his injuries (actually started by a football injury in his late teens) and some of the crazy weights he did at his best. He said 'not doing another 2 reps'.

My head space is, among many such examples, one which wonders if I can do the stack on some machines. Can I, maybe, do a few reps on pressdowns with the whole stack on the local gyms lat pulldown for my triceps (eqv to 120kg/264lbs)...?
