54 year old dude that loves to bench. I was shot in the knee when I was a kid and have fucked up knee and hips so I usually only focus on upper body work.
I spent a lot of time as a younger man in the gym but ended up living out of a bottle for 10 years or so, then kids, marriage, mortgage, kids mortgages, you know the drill.
7 years ago I started back in the gym and though gains were slow, I continued to go and work because I wanted the old me back. I even became a partner in a gym.
6 1/2 years later and a lot of slow gains later, decided to get the old testosterone levels tested, average of 3 tests 3 months apart were 175. So I got the dr to put me on trt.
I didn't really notice any changes. going back a ways... Remember I was a part owner of a gym... a year and a half ago or so, during a locker clean out I became the proud owner of 5 bottles of 250mg test cyp.
The guy who used that locker was pretty jacked so I assumed the gear was good. A quick call to him confirmed that he was called away quickly and wasn't able to clean out his shit.
A few months later he called to say he wasn't coming back and I could do whatever I wanted to do with the bottles, so I kept them. I know long story, right. Well I figured since I was already
pinning test from the Dr, why not add in a little extra from this stash. Now the good part. I had been slowly adding strength on the bench and got up to competition best of 375 and pretty much stalled there despite a lot of bench and bench centric work.
As soon as I started the plus portion of the TRT, 300mg every 4 days within 5 weeks I added a shit ton of strength. I just competed earlier this month and put up a pretty easy 436!! With just 300mg of test every 4 days over 5 weeks!!!
So now I'm interested in adding another compound or two to help lose a few extra beer induced pounds and perhaps tame some of the joint pains in the lower body and start focusing on some leg and lower back strength.
All of that to give a bit of background and see what some of the more senior - both age wise and usage wise - might have to recommend.
