im unc from diamond gym

Turning 30 in November. Gonna go to Egypt to see the pyramids and scuba dive in the Red Sea to celebrate.

Other than that I'm exceeding in lifts. Did 10 reps of 225 on bench and should pressed 90 lb dumbbells for 5 reps recently. Unfortunately my weekends are just me smoking weed on the couch at night and my weeks are filled with Hinge dates that usually end after the first one.

I haven't made gains in years, wish I could be 20 again hitting the gym for the first time. I made insane progress in just 3 months, now nothing just happens after 14+ years of lifting.

Coming off of cancer treatment (cured, Gobbless my doctors). Starting basically from square one again since I lost a ton of weight and wasn't able to actually work out for like a year. Still not fully recovered but I can tell I'm getting stronger.

>>77535041
your docs cured you and you're singing the praises of imaginary skydaddy? ungrateful ape.

>36
I admittedly haven't lifted in many years. I spent a few years being a fat fuck after discharging from the military, and I've recently lost it all. I'm cardio-focused at the moment, but I do plan on lifting again soon; my old man has a lot of old home gym weights and gear he's offloading soon so I'll take those and get started.

>>77534916
Feels like having kids makes having a dad bod inevitable. No time in the day for the gym, unless you sacrifice dad time, or sleep. Body slows down so lifting heavy gets harder. Kids eat so many snacks you have junk being left out for snacking. Not to mention cutting makes you angry and irritated. Maybe its time I retire from being in shape

>>77535078
I have 4 kids. Going for 5. Still work out. Still have a full time job. Still have a woman. Still play with kids. Still eat how I want. What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>77534916
I'm still skinny and mobile at 39, I attribute it to my mantra of "you have to stay sexy until you get married".

>>77535044
Fuck off tranny

>>77534916
I gained weight while walking on a mountain for a month because I'm a fat fuck at heart.

I'm 34 and honestly I'm doing good, two kids so I haven't been able to do solo activities in roughly 10 years but I got a home gym in the garage and I just wake up at 5am before everyone else and do my routines
I've been able to get the kids into going on bike rides once a week which is cool
the younger generation mogs me in speed and agility but I still easily mog them in strength and coordination, hopefully it stays like that well into my 50s
I've noticed everyone my age around me getting fat and lazy and always complaining about joint pains, bad backs, soreness, etc. so I guess I'm doing better than my peers
I also spend most downtime doing yardwork which I actually enjoy and has literally replaced playing videogames as my primary hobby
picrel is my fat cat, I love this cunt

>>77535092
Stop showing off asshole.

>>77535320
How do you hide your porn and masturbation habits from your kids?

>>77534916
I'm mostly at a point where I often get lazy and don't lift for a while, lose size, then get back into it, re-gain my size quickly, but never really push progression beyond that. It's okay though, whenever my physique goes to shit I know I can just get it back in 3 months, and I really don't need to do a lot for that. I'm also more focussed on form and angles to really make an exercise work for me rather than only trying to move more weight. Just shit like keeping my chest up when performing certain exercises has already grown certain muscle groups I've had trouble with in the past. I've also worked on upper back and shoulder mobility and now my chest development is better and my bench is progressing a lot and feels better.

>>77535325
I don't have physical porn and I exclusively jack off in the early hours of the morning before my workout w/ solo bbw content, preferably the ones where they pretend to work out

I'm trying to choose if i should stay volcel at the age of 33 and just focus on pleasing the Lord or if i should just go get a good wife. Both are royal paths but it's not an easy decision.

>>77534916
Moving out after a five year relationship. So not great. If the new job doesn't work out at the background check stage(already signed the contract), will probably kill myself.

>>77535470
>Moving out after a five year relationship.
New opportunities and time to heal up. It's not over

>>77535472
It is, I'm back to square one and again it's the same thing, it's my stupid inability to communicate properly and rage issues. Should've gone to therapy decades ago.
At least I managed to keep my best friend who is once again letting me stay with him.

>>77535470
>dodged a bullet
why would you kill yourself after that?

Gains are great but I got a cold and have to force myself to stay home and not lift/train. The problem is I can't tell if I'm being a lazy pussy or if I am being prudent. In theory heavy lifting to failure sabotages the fight vs disease, but it's just a cold.

>>77534946
Your routine is retarded.

>>77535490
stop overthinking and take a deload and get huge pr's next week

>>77535494
Yeah. I already had three episodes where I trained through illness and ended up way worse. Gonna laze around.

No gains just slowing the losses. Got 20-30lbs too heavy and it's difficult to lose. Really bad back pain if I don't use an inversion table every night. No gf no kids. Still live with my parents. Despite all that I got zero money because I had to pay some of my parents huge friggin bills. So late at night I either go to gym or have quickies with milfs or fat zoomers.
I want to live in an rv and look like Uncle Rico but my parents won't let me.

I benched 250 for 10 after not lifting for a year so that's a plus.

I work out 4 times a week. Maintaining a lean body weight and managing my cholesterol. Absolutely essential as you get older.

32 here. Been a few years out of the game. I went really crazy about 2 years ago, spent the winter rowing a million meters and got my 2k pb to 6:54.5. Transitioned to running that spring and was having a great time but exploded both my knees switching to a high impact sport. Now two years later I'm 20 pounds heavier, did a lot of smoking and drinking, and mostly avoided exercise apart from farm chores. None of my clothes fit now and my once perfect jawline is worse for wear. I also don't want to go the rest of my life only ever having been pretty fast. I want to tie my 2k PR, then go sub 6:50, and finally get into the 6:30s.

Anyway, been back at it for a few weeks now. Just finished an excellent 8x500m. This should put my 2k right around 7:06 right now.

>>77534916
I have a cold so I can‘t lift and run for the next few days (hopefully not longer)

So "retention" is insane for gains and they are going through the roof. But you have to be able to fight the "IM NEED TO FUCKING CUM" urges. Autumn is here and I love the rain.

37. i keep fucking up over and over again with women. it's really frustrating. something is wrong with me. I don't think I'm stupid, but maybe I am. Maybe I'm slow. I just get impatient, or nervous, or impulsive, and text something fucking stupid or needy or urgent and fuck up amazing opportunities. With every choice we make, a new path appears, and every choice i've made has led me down the path of being alone in my room again. I just want a cutie to cuddle with.

>>77534916
34 here, have a PhD and a fiancée. My career is doing really well; got lucky with my field. Gains are slower but I manage. Body still feels strong. No joint issues or pain anywhere.

>>77536006
>34 here
I turn 34 this Monday, did you notice any difference from 33? Any new pr's this year?

Just turned 42, went through a 2-year-long drug bender from age 38-40 (k, meth, benzos... 8/10 would recommend).
Started working out while using because meth gives you unlimited energy to the point where you can tear your shit apart and not even notice.
After getting off drugs I kept it up because the alternative is becoming a fat fuck.

Feels good, gains are slow but steady.
Been noticing some zoomer girls mirin' once in a while.
Then again I never really lifted as a younger man, so I don't have a basis for comparison.

>>77536011
I actually came back to lifting after a move + covid break like 2 years ago
I haven’t regained my PRs from my 20s but I’m getting close. I have made cardio PRs.

My body feels literally the same as it ever did except I notice I can’t jump as high as I used to. I don’t attribute that to aging; I attribute it to rarely jumping anymore. But I don’t need any sort of additional warm up to get working out.
Really I recommend incorporating conditioning and dynamic cardio (jump sprint climb crawl movements) into your routine and a very healthy diet.

>>77536024
good stuff

31
Gains are okay, I haven’t been training that seriously lately but am getting back into it
Got a lot of injuries
Bad wrist due to computer job and hobbies but I manage
Fucked up my back and shoulders (hernia and torn rotator cuffs) back in high school so have had to always put them as first priority on prehap and rehab, I watch them like a hawk
My outer right knee has been bothering me off and on lately for the last couple years, probably tendon issue going on there
Got an arsenal of shit to keep me healthy; yoga mat, ice pack, foam roller that vibrates

>>77534916
36, gains are good, just got back from a much needed vacation. Just a normal life really, cant complain

I'm 35 and my gains are going pretty well, i recently done some blood work and i have pristine parameters. The secret is not being a wageslave, not living with a woman and keep your cortisol low over all the useless bullshit. I might have children if it happens, even if old dads are kind of sad, if not who cares

>>77536353

Recently surpassed Dave Pascoe in supplement stack size. Drove by the local retirement community today on the way to VitaminShoppe and totally frame-mogged everyone within a mile radius; I think the boomers would start ACKing less if they upped their anti-aging game past fish oil and aspirin.

>>77535479
You're better off than I was
That same best friend was the one my wife cheated on me with. If it didn't scar my kids more to murder them both, I think I would have done it. But I'm 7 years out now and realized I just dumped a lot of negative ballast through the ordeal and got a new gf and my head is less prone to telling me to kill myself daily.
Also tried therapy a couple times, and honestly I don't know if I'm too smart or too stupid for it, but therapy was a giant waste of my time compared to just going to the gym wrt actually clearing my mind in a healthy way. I think that 'working through' your problems by talking about them every week just makes you inadvertently stew on them more. At least that's how it was for me.

>>77535896
Age gap relationships are more common now than ever. You are wrong lol

I'm 34 and probably the biggest loser on this entire board. There's not a single aspect of my life that has any success at all. If people here were me at 31 they would want to kill themselves too.

I am torn on how I feel about my parents with my upbringing. On the one hand, financially everything was fine.

But other than financially, everything else was pretty poor. They never took much interest in my life, barely any affection between any of us whatsoever, never really taught me any skills not even shaving or driving. Never saw that something was wrong when their son became a friendless hermit as a teenager, always angry and miserable, top student but showed no interest in college, career, or life and never tried to get me help. Telling them how miserable I was in college and wanted to drop out, performing poorly, didn't really care. I ruined all my 20s living with them (paying rent) and they barely care. I tell them I want to commit suicide and they delusionally act like my life is good and there's so much to live for

Doing what I can. Got separated (not living in the same space anymore) from my soon to be ex wife about 6 months ago. She calls and reaches out, but I either don't tell her what she wants to hear or I say something really straightforward and ends up in a massive drama. She set the divorce date for January 2028, and I'm too tired to fight her on that front. I just want some peace and don't be a burden to anybody. She even tells me that her mother resents me and I have her family's scorn, so there is that too. Needless to say, that I will spend Thanksgiving by myself as I have no family around.

Health wise, went for a physical a few days ago. Nothing serious, just overweight and I'm working on it (lost 10 lbs from 190 in these past 2 months). So yeah.

It's unironically good that you're here anon.
This shit happens far more than any or us realize, it's only when it happens to you that you look around and see that this kinda shit is common nowadays. Yes, it's tough, it can be fucking absolutely devastating if kids are involved.
Fuck her, fuck her mother. Focus on being the best person you can be (apologies for sounding like some "motivational" shit), drop the weight, lift and exercise to get yourself back on track and remember that we carry the rod. Females come and go in your life. Don't worry about it too much.

I have been on and off from /fit/ dealing with work and other things. Hell, I finally decided to sign up for Kendo classes after all this mess (though I have to take a license exam the week before Thanksgiving, so I will start in December/January most likely).

>This shit happens far more than any or us realize, it's only when it happens to you that you look around and see that this kinda shit is common nowadays. Yes, it's tough, it can be fucking absolutely devastating if kids are involved.
I know. One of my old coworkers is a divorcee and things on his side were rough at the beginning, but he is picking up himself now. Luckily, no kids are involved, but at the same time kids were one of the n+1 reasons things fell apart.
>Fuck her, fuck her mother
As much as I would like to, I won't shun them in shame or something. I just won't deal with them anymore. I will move forward and make it through. Thanks for the encouragement, anon.

We need to support each other as best we can. Yeah it sounds gay but it's true. We don't have the older male role models in our lives anymore, no fathers, uncles, big brothers/cousins, etc so we have to make all the typical mistakes and figure it out for ourselves. We all know that's why the jordan peterson types are so popular. And unfortunately the andrew tate types as well.
You're right to not hate them, as that actually elevates their status in your life to an unwarranted level. All the best bro.

>>77534916
Big 40. By the time you are an unc you are all done with gains and just want to stay as fit as possible.

I started bouldering and light yoga this year. It’s surprising how effective they are even after all those years at the gym. Hitting your muscles in new ways is more valuable than forcing the number to go a tiny bit higher.

Life overall finally looking up for the first time in years. Companies are forced to face the music with AI being unmaintainable slop, and paying me very well to step in. Able to juggle two contracts simultaneously. Networking is everything, forget trying to meet people or get jobs through the internet.

Realistically at this point the industry is too broken to avert China’s inevitable takeover, but at the very least you should try to support whatever people remain who give a shit about building non-destructive non-addictive tools that actually improve our lives. All five or six of us.

Turned 31 this year. Last 5 have been rough. Wife and I had 4 kids, put on 100 lbs between the lack of sleep and lack of gym. My gains got gobbled by laundry and fast food. Finally able to start getting back in shape but don't even know where to start, everything hurts from the extra weight so think I just need to lose 30ish maybe to get back into cardio. I'll see what happened.

I turned 40 in June. I've tried to take care of myself over the years at least a little bit but working physical jobs forever and drinking like a fish back for most of my life is catching up with me. I get random aches and pains, and they don't just go away after a week or so like they used to. I was sitting on the fucking couch watching TV the other day and suddenly got a stabbing pain in my knee. I wasn't even putting any weight on it, and now I'm getting a random dull throb in it.

I signed up for a Thanksgiving 5k, which I'm looking forward to. I didn't realize how out of shape I am, so at this point I think I'll just be happy if I can break 30 minutes.

I'm also in the market for a set of adjustable dumbells. I don't have the space for a full bench and rack so I need something that doesn't take up much room. I live in Miami, and I've had a couple gym memberships here, but the people are so fucking cancerous and over the top shitty, I can't do it again.

Man...sometimes it takes being hit over the head a few times with a realization like that for it to sink in & initiate a transformation. Now you see the problem. Next time, open your mouth & conquer it; 'Babe, we've been together for a while now. I love you, and I want to tell you some things about me that have fucked up previous relationshipsn because I don't want that shit to happen with us. I have issues with (whatever), & this is what it looks like when that comes up (I turn purple & swell with rage or w/e). I want you to know in advance that this is NOT because of you; it's my own shit from past experience that I need to work through, & the best thing for you to do when you see this happening is (GTFO/drop to your knees & unzip my fly/hold me as tightly as you can while I ride it out & just let me know that you love me no matter what/ drop an anvil on my head from a great height/whatever).'
It sounds gay as fuck, but chicks need communication about your fee-fees, or they'll make shit up, then hold against you. I'm a liitle durnk right now (Bacardi Gold & Lemonade on the edge of a waning hurricane), so take it for what it's worth. Baring your soul to a woman and asking for help is about the scariest thing I can think of (well, that & salt-water crocodiles), but every time I've managed to do it, it's been a huge weight offa me. Don't give in or give up--just give. Good luck, & keep us posted.

>Surely my real life will start when I'm 30.
Don't. Fucking. Wait.
Take it from an old man with no kids & many regrets. DO.IT.NOW!
Whatever the fuck 'it' is--DO IT NOW!
Otherwise you'll wake up 30 years from now & say, "What the fuck just happened? Why didn't I ..."
Stupidest thing I ever did was walk away from my oneitis to 'make my fortune'--that was 24 years ago. Still haven't made my fortune, & she's in her forties now, childless (like me)...don't be a dumb-fuck (like me)...find a decent woman (or a sane(ish) tranny >I don't fukken care!< , & just grab all the joy you can outta life. It don't get any easier after 30. Fuck. Youth is wasted on the young--trite & true.

Day at a time, brother. Deep knee bends in the shower, or while folding laundry. Keep dumb-bells around the house & lift at random times. Kid your kids involved--'Hey, kiddo!--it's Sashquattin' time--here come Bigfoot!! & do squats with your kids across your shoulders. Challenge them to a push-up contest (let them win occasionally). Bench-press your wife, then fuck her silly. Make it fun & part of your everyday life. Stairs in your house help.

You can do it! Ease into it. I read something somewhere (probably here...) that said something like 'habits are more permanent than motivation'. Make it a habit, to the point that, when you're not doing it, you physically miss it. Look at Jack LaLanne; built a fitness empire with a silver-lame jumpsuit & a fuckken folding chair!

>>77538426
Change something, brother. You gotta bust out of your rut. If you only lift, add cardio (running, biking, swimming). Find someone you admire & copy whatever the fuck they do. Shock your body by swicthing up your routineb been doing preacher curl forever? Hang by your knees & do reverse-grip curls until your eyes pop out. Change up your diet. Pizza & beer 3x a day just to see what happens (keep a diary: what I ate today; how I felt after; how I felt the next day, what I think about it). Give it all up for a month & see how you feel (keep up on that diary--daily!) That which is measured improves. Keep track. Analyze.
Lykke a til!

This is very risky advice anon.
What you've said is true about "communication" and muh feelings but you're mistaking what they say they want in that moment (which they may well do, the way a child really does want the ice cream in that moment) with what they are biologically programmed to want, which is a strong stable man, the archetypal father figure.

Turning 34 tomorrow. I've been having a lot of work this year nearly double of last year and while i'm grateful i didn't expect to burn out so hard but i can't complain because i only work on weekends and i'm wfh on the weekdays. Lifting has been going really steady and i'm at my strongest at almost every lift except bench press that i'm trying to reach my 2022 numbers but i'm getting closer everyday. Also I’m on NoFap day 57 or something and although I don't believe it changed a lot of stuff I feel at ease on my mind that i stopped watching porn and masturbating.

The downsides of 30's is that you watch your parents grow old and your friends drifting on to other interests and at the end you realise you are alone, the biggest win this year tho is that I've found coworkers that I can communciate with and get shit done which is huge for me. Also i'm getting some mires from 20 year old women at the gym which is a huge bonus.

My biggest advice for people in their 20's is to just not lose their hair and keep training and never getting fat. Also don't be below 5'10 and you will be good

I’m in my mid 30s and I’ve done absolutely nothing with my life. Life is so pathetic that people here wouldn’t believe it. It isn’t like I became a felon or addict… but I’ve just done absolutely nothing. I don’t even know how it’s possible for someone to just never give a shit about their life like I haven’t. I’m so far behind everyone else and completely lacking any experience, skills, self esteem or accomplishments that I don’t see a point. I just waste away. I don’t even know what to say anymore. I know I’m a pathetic whiny baby and definitely not a man, but I’m so embarrassed ashamed and humiliated about what I’ve done that dying is the only way for me to salvage myself.

>>77537088
When have people in tech ever not built addictive, destructive products that ruin our lives? That’s what the entire industry is built on. It’s funny, during all the massive layoffs I have seen tech people talk about wanting jobs “that actually make a difference in the world” because they never have before. But all they care about is getting highly paid jobs, so they don’t care about how they do nothing beneficial or are negative to society

you just have to be stronger than your impulses. maybe bring a towel with you that you can bite down on when you're in public and get these impulses

That grass may look greener but it really isn't. I get plenty of sex from these zoomettes but let's be honest, it's gets old after a while. Plus they're really fucking stupid and self absorbed.
You're fortunate to have a loving beautiful wife (if that's the case) and these vacuous whores can't offer you anything more than what you've already got. Go make some kids anon.

A while ago, I met a stunningly beautiful but skittish and probably somewhat autistic woman at a coffee shop, several years younger. She came and sat next to me because she saw me reading Camus, and we got along well because we were both odd. Being as odd and sheltered as she was, she had never had a boyfriend despite being gorgeous. We ended up seeing a movie, then another time hanging out at a couple of nerdy stores in town. I felt like things were going well, and all it took was me grabbing a coffee, getting a little too excited from the caffeine and trying to be a bit flirty to scare her off for good. She told me there was nothing in particular I did or said to upset her, just that she didn't like the "flirty vibes."
Maybe a relationship never would have materialized anyway, but I also lost a really neat and beautiful friend because I wasn't mindful of how odd and fragile she was. Now I'm always aware of how easy it is to scare a woman off if I get a little too excited and feel bold. Took one or two more similar wasted connections before I finally learned I'm the type of guy who ought to just keep things under the hat and try to be a good friend.

How you can change your entire life for someone and they can leave you like that

I was going to propose in like two weeks too
I don’t even know what to do, or if I’ll even keep lifting. I haven’t told anyone irl, she said “break” but real ones know what that really means

On top of that I rolled my ankle. Life is a fucking demon , I don’t even know where to go

Im 3 months shy from 40yo.
Haven't changed much of my habits since 20s.
Because of my office-rat life, I have opted to work out more often and shorter, to keep metabolism high and leave more time to recover.
>work out 5x week on workdays
>split Legs, Chest, Back, Shoulders, arms
>all workouts have parts - 0. warmup (stretch, cardio, isometrics) - 1. 5x5 heavy or compound for focus muscle group - 2. 3x12 secondary for focus muscle group - 3. Adjective exercise, touch8ng the focus miscle group, but some other muscle group is involved (e.g. close grip bench) - 00. cooldown. All muscle groups get hit once seriously and once more lightly during the day
> i cycle through 4 weeks of progressive overload, followed by 1 week of focusing on pump and volume (e.g. i'd do 5x10 squats with 40kg instead of 5x5 with 120). Followed by 1 week of heavy lifts - i just have a long warmup and then try 1 rep maxes (still keepinh at about 90% of my physical max, to avoid injuries), followed by a deload or completely off week to recover. Then I start the next cycle where the progressive overload week ended, often the 1st of these 4 weeks I skip the secondary exercise, and just do the 5x5 and tons of cardio. This allows getting back to overload but also allows burning fat, strenghtening heart
> frankly I am def stronger than in my 20s
>lean also. Good athleticism, fighting idea that i would want to join mma or judo club lol
>I try to avoid injuries at all costs, many exercises are aimed for that - e.g. i'll do zercher squats, trap bar more often than back squat and so on. But not exclusivelly. I just don't sacrifice my apine or joints for egolifting.
>i probably would be even more athletic if I got lighter. Though i am pretty lean 4 out of 6 abs showing) i am now 212 lbs, but my "fighting" weight is probably closer to 185lbs. Knees and ankles must be preserved at higher bodyweight.

>>77534916
Just turned 30. I'm going to try out a bro split to see if I have better recover. I used to do an antagonist but felt like my shoulders and forearms were rarely ready for the next workout. Anybody in a similar boat?

39 and I have a pinched sciatic nerve. It's literally over for me. I walk like I got a limp. I stand up like an 80 year old. It taunts me by getting better then getting worse. I've had to ban overhead press and squats for now. Back extensions are out the window. Seriously contemplating getting a massage from the old sailor looking masseuse that came dangerously close to Cave Diving last time I went to him.

35. Quit smoking and drinking. Gains are shit and always have been. I currently switched to burpees and I like it because I actually see progress after just like four weeks. Funny enough, my wife's sister mired me last weekend. Got a new job with much better pay so I will be able to buy some nice stuff for my son and wife finally.

You need to keep doing what you know is right for yourself, no matter how bad you feel. Eat right, don't become an alcoholic, and continue exercising. A man is defined by his capacity to persevere in these trials and tribulations of life. Your thoughts will guide you to dark places, but you NEED to keep doing the right thing. Time will heal you.

can one of you guys help me out.. I went on a date with this cute girl, and we had a fun time. like 8 hour date walking around doing fun things etc. We text a little after, and I try to set up another date, but was a little pushy because I was on nofap and had zero self control (i know), I didn't spam text her, but there was a uncharacteristic urgency in how I was texting because I needed to nut. Anyways, the last message she sent me was that she wanted to see me again, but it was gonna rain, so she was probably gonna go to a spa, and I said let's hang out after that, and she said okay, and I asked where to meet and she ghosted. That was 10 days ago. Again, the first date went really well, and every other date I went on recently made me feel completely dead inside. This is the first girl in a long time that I felt good with, so please don't just say "move on faggot".. can you brain storm some kind of message to send her . thanks. /blog

>>77542423

I just turned 30, am I dying now?

I don't know if it's normal for guys in 30s nowadays or not, but I find almost all the girls and women I see in public to be attractive, from ages of maybe down to 16 up to 40s. Legitimately the vast majority of them I find to be attractive. But I also get really annoyed/angry at how so many women dress now. I'm tired of girls still in high school or even younger just wearing completely inappropriate shit, like you pass by a school when it's getting out and they wear ridiculously short shorts, every other girl has an exposed stomach frequently with a belly button piercing, etc. And women wear borderline inappropriate shit even in professional environments, like plunging necklines, exposed tattoos, backs and stomachs being exposed from barely-long-enough tops, wearing tight pants, etc.

What in the fuck is going on here.

>>77543606
>What in the fuck is going on here.
You're starting to wake up

>>77543606
I wish it was like that here, it's the complete opposite. Women are just walking around in loose joggers and generally looking like slobs. They don't even try to be attractive or feminine and the ones in professional attire dress like men.

I think it’s really popular now, I think the only thing holding people back used to be the price. But now you can source it from $0.50-$1.0 per iu, it makes it a very affordable addition.

Elevated testosterone. Elevated estradiol, elevated igf-1 from hgh, and elevated kcals is all part of the recipe for growth and recovery.

34, 2 months on test and I love it. Was natty for my 3 years of lifting before and have gotten over small plateaus with it.

In the same week I'm banging a 22 year old chubby black chick and 51 year old white chick that I met at a Spartan Race.

I intend to stay on test until I die.

>>77534916
Lifted from ages 11 to about 30/31 off and on. Went to maybe 5 different gyms. when I was young had a home setup of dumbbells which I alternated with bodyweight. Then onto. Machines and mostly dumbbells with a little bit of barbel stuff weightlifting. I got into resistance bands for maybe 6 months before I finally stopped lifting forever. I do mild intensity cardio type exercise for about 2 hours a day 5-6 days a week now. I have no desire to lift anymore, I actually have developed my legs a little bit more from the cardio, didn't lose any upper body muscle for some reason I actually filled out a bit more muscle wise despite not lifting for like 5+ years now. Maybe something to do with hormones I don't know. Anyway thanks for reading my blog. As everyone already knew if you are natty and have gains you will retain them even after you stop liting.
