I didn't have to go to the jobsite today, just had office work to do, and that's why I had time to get 45 minutes. Be back to the 30 tomorrow since I have to get on the jobsite early.
But can doing 300 mg a week for the next 20+ years be ok for my body? Or is this something I do for a period and then go back to 200mg a week. I also heard Mobster and Steve talk about for period once a year just double up for a time but I think that was in the context of your just doing TRT and nothing else. There are so many different options and it's hard to know what to do or try.
When I fail my 3x3 I will deload my main lifts to 85% of the weight so that's more like 15% and go back to 5x5 and progressive overload again. My T2 lifts are my light day of my main lifts they drop 45% and I go back to 4x8 on those. My T3 stay at same weight and same reps 3x12. I suppose to be working 4 days with 3 days rest but I been working hard 6 days. I have hit that wall where it's just to much. I got to stick to the 4 days of powerlifting and only do rehab and walking on a rest day.
I am going to work my way up to something more aggressive but want to make sure I do it smart with the right amount of cash on hand to buy everything I need like N2guard, stuff to keep estrogen at bay, all the gear and blood work. I don't want to mess myself up at my age. My body isn't as resilient like it was when I was younger. I like to hit a gram a week first before I go all out with 3. I may never ever go higher then around a gram. I don't know got to test the waters and see how my body reacts. Right now my priority is to see why my blood pressure is bouncing around and not staying stable. I don't know if it's salt/electrolytes or caffeine or something else causing it. Cutting salt down now. Then when I deload I am going to cut my caffeine out see if that fixes it. Getting old sucks, lol, older guy problems.

@kcates got a lot of protein in after your workout man. Nice job
You can easily to 300mgs/week sports TRT is not an issue, you're not 20 so the dose impacts you different. @kcates
I like the ribeye looks perfect.
N2guard is a smart move, we do support them and they support the EVO family, great for cycle and organ support which is what you need at your age. @kcates
Good training day with the food, very stable, do you feel good?
Yeah, I been taking it easier on my shoulder but I hit a new PR on my overhead press seated on the Smith machine today. Did 110 for 3x3. Last 2 weeks I have only been able to do 1 one week and then 3x1 the next week. Pretty son I will be able to put the 45 lbs plates on each aide. Also I felt better energy at work today. Also treadmill feels easier. I am going to continue this week and see how it goes but I am pretty sure I was over training. I am going to wait until Sunday after the whole week is in the books to make the official call. I know I been training a lot but didn't realize how much it was beating me down. This is definitely going to be a learning experience.
Deloading is something i learned the hard way, in truth it is absolutely needed a few times a year, in truth ive always come back stronger because of it.
Yeah, it's weird but that shoulder has been through it during my life. I have arthritis in all my joints as well is what my Pc and ortho doctors tell me everytime I get imaging or go into surgery but I don't feel any pain in my joints from it. Just had some issues with this shoulder, and I also got tennis elbow first in my left. I did the exercises my PC told me to do and it fixed my left. Now I have it in my right elbow. I am doing the exercises for it on my right now. It should get better in a couple of months. Just glad the shoulder is getting better. When I lower the bar in any upper press movements I am so slow and controlled on the decline because I am always so scared of it getting injured. Just learning to work with what I got. That's why I have to do overhead press on the Smith machine. Then our smith machine is to short to do standing so I have to do seated.
Treadmill is the way and dont high weight it, go lower weights for longer training and less injuries. @kcates
I am learning the treadmill but learned heavy weight means more rest not more exercises. I could do it a year ago when things were lighter but as the weight gets heavier the body needs more recovery. I have so many things I want to work on there just isn't enough time to do it all. The main thing is If I can't lift heavy and push my limits then this isn't fun for me. I will have to learn which things are priorities and work them in in phases Is what I am thinking concentrating on my weakest points.
I think the second pop was it going back in place.
@kcates Amazing to see you sharing importance of rest days.........resting is equally important but most people ignore it.......
