"@dante_trudel I turn 55 this year. I still love this stuff...THE FEVER...the banging and clanging of heavy slag iron...ME VS ME. I allowed myself to smooth out a little bit over the holidays and into January for a specific reason (leverage/strength). I've been trying so hard this year to accomplish a certain goal of mine in the gym on a certain exercise...Ive been at it all year long stalking it, hunting it down, I got within 20lbs of accomplishing it and then my strength kind of stalled out...so over the last few months, like I said I've had to let myself smooth out a little bit to gain some leverage/water to finally accomplish it. I am going to get it!...I am "oh so close"!
Ive been on TRT since 2008, the thing that sucks about TRT is that I cant just get over a plateau by adding a compound or mg to achieve something. It is what it is and TRT is my boundary. But do you know whats also great about that TRT boundary?! Because I have that barrier that cannot move, my training is so freaking dialed in, my nutritional supplements are so dialed in, and pretty much the only thing I manipulate up and down is my diet like I said.
I am absolutely set in my ways training wise. Am I much smaller than 20 years ago when I was in my 30's? Heck yea I am, about 40lbs smaller..290-300 to 250-259. It wasnt very easy on my ego (but the correct decision) when I decided to downsize in my very early forties. But I have seen so many older pro's/bodybuilders just disintegrate when they went down to TRT and muscle mass falls off them like dead skin. How can that happen? Was it all drug muscle and you never learned about the training part?
My emphasis always has been about supply and demand...THE TRAINING...if you create the demand the body will keep up the supply. I have never stopped training as hard as I possibly can, it has and has always been the key to everything. Especially to keep your leg size and muscle mass as you age."
