When I started TRT I was @ 234lbs. Im 5'11, 35yrs old
I had been doing a 5x5 stronglifts for about 6months
5x5 numbers were
Squat - 295
Bench - 205
Deadlift - 325
OHP - 120
Pendlay Row - 175
Im 16 weeks in on TRT and just finished 16 weeks of mad cow 5x5 (slight variation of normal 5x5)
now Im up to
Squat 385, 1 rep.. 5x325 easily and clean, could prob do 405 1 rep
Bench 225x8, dont have a spotter so most Ive tried was 270 and it went up pretty easily
Deadlift 405, 1 rep.. then deloading and doing 15 reps @ 315
OHP - 135 not much gain here
Row - 205x5
I dropped down to 215.8lbs and lost a good amount of body fat. Im done with the strength programs for now as I feel like Ive built a pretty good base of muscle and now I have started more bodybuilding doing a 5 day split which is:
Mon - Chest and triceps
Tues - Back and biceps
Wed - Cardio + core
Thurs - Shoulders and lighter triceps
Fri- Legs and lighter biceps
Im benching on my chest/tricep day and deadlifting on back/bicep day, OHP on shoulder day and Squatting on Leg day. Ive realized Im not that good at really focusing particular muscles since Ive been doing so much full body/power lifting type workouts but its getting better.
I will say getting on the TRT was the best thing that has happened to me in a long time, its amazing the pathetic energy youll get used to. I wish I knew about it 5 years ago.
Once I get more TRT time under my belt I am hoping to be able to run possibly a cycle of a higher dose of test c and tren but still doing more reading on here so I can learn what makes the most sense for my body type etc.
thanks for all the help so far guys
