Still around, and still training. I've been on tour a lot recently and haven't had much chance to log workouts. I'll try to get back on it this week.

So sad for you. A few years back I lost my dog, it was one of the saddest times in my life for sure. Take it easy and remember all the good times.

Welcome

Nice cheers. I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow so I'll ask if I can get the numbers from the results. I trained all 3 days I was scheduled to last week, but didn't log anything. Also trained on Tuesday this week, but again, no log. here's today's log: Squat: 20kg x 5 22.5 x 5 35 x 5 45 x 5 55 x 3 67.5 x 3 77.5 x 1 90 x 1 100 x 1 110 x 1 (I needed to get 3 reps for a PR here, but just wasn't feeling motivated enough to do this.

Cheers Mike. Yep I've read about the wonders of Brazil nuts for this kind of thing. I've also tried ZMA before but I didn't really try for long enough to notice anything.

Testosterone level results came back as "satisfactory". Satisfactory for who?? Anyway, at least I know it's not unhealthily low, even if I do still think it's low. I guess I need to figure out ways to up it naturally.

Also, I had bloods taken last week as I requested with my GP to see whether my test levels are low. Part of me wants to see it come out low, so at least I know that my struggles for all these years is actually down to something. If it comes back normal, I know it's just me and I have no excuses. I do wonder how low it needs to be before they actually will do something to rectify it however.

Missed every opportunity to train last week, as I train during the lunch hour at work, and we just had an insane week here.

I've hit two of these before, but since then I've just not been able to budge it! Barbell Curl: 50 reps @ 17.5kg (broken into sets of 10)

Nice one!

Sounds delicious, and rare. A good combination. IPA/APA/Pale Ale, as long as it's nice and hoppy it's one for me. I home brew, and APA is my favoured style to brew. This weekend I finally installed a fridge in my shed so I can chill my kegs down, and have nice hoppy, cold ale on tap whenever I want it (cheat days only of course )

What was the beer? I'm really into my IPAs now.

Cheers guys. I had to miss yesterday as too many other jobs came up, so I went today instead.
