How’s the injection feel? Smooth or spicy?
-
Worth it for better pumps and endurance, not necessarily for strength or size
-
Overuse elbow pain from curls/presses? Took 2 weeks off heavy lifting, then started light cables + bands. Felt 100% better before hitting the gym hard again
-
Nutrition affects mental health too. Eating clean, protein + veggies cuts mood swings and keeps energy stable. I feel sharper in and out of the gym
-
Don’t really need to cycle creatine. Taking it every day keeps muscles saturated and helps performance consistently

guys, just wanted to share my journey. I’m 48, 5’11”, and I used to be 133 kg (~293 lbs) felt awful zero energy, knees screaming every step. Fast food and zero training had me in bad shape.
I started small 30-min walks basic bodyweight stuff, and swapped junk for clean meals. Protein, veggies, and water became my new normal. After a few months, I hit the gym for strength training 3x/week squats

, bench, deadlifts, heavy compound lifts.
It took 2 years, but I finally lost 25 kg (~55 lbs), down to 108 kg (~238 lbs). Energy, sleep, and mobility all improved drastically.
Later, during my cutting phase, I experimented with low-dose Anavar and mild Testosterone under medical guidance mostly to preserve lean muscle while losing fat. Combined with diet, lifting, and recovery, it helped me retain strength and size while dropping fat faster than diet alone.
Biggest lesson: consistency > shortcuts. Steroids helped a bit for advanced goals, but the real progress came from steady training, clean nutrition, and patience. Two years of steady work beats any crash method.
PRs? Hitting a 140 kg squat at my age felt unreal. If I can do it at 48, anyone can. Keep grinding, fellas 💪🔥 -
Felt sharp lower back pain mid-deadlift thought it was just soreness nope, strained it bad. Lesson if it feels off the first rep stop. Not worth the risk
-
Always remember PCT (Post Cycle Therapy). Done my first cycle wrong lots a bunch of gains because I skipped PCT. Learn from my mistakes
-
Honestly, I don’t try to do it all alone. Partner support or gym buddy helps. Delegating chores = more focus for workouts and recovery
-
Beginners often underestimate core and mobility work even a short warm-up and glute activation routine makes a huge difference in lifting safely and building muscle
