*PR!!! best before today was 465
ROWS
3 sets of 10
My right biceps tendon finally loosened up. I found the spot in the side/back of my neck that was TIGHT and got it worked out (with the help of my lovely wife). I was amazed at how fast all my sets were tonight. I deviated from my plan because my arms just felt better than they have in months.

BENCH PRESS
Thursday
week 8 day 3
BENCH PRESS
up to 365 for 4 singles, then 2 sets of 2 with the slingshot
*spread some liniment on my neck, shoulder, and arm tonight. It seemed to help keep my biceps tendon loose. I'll be scheduling some kind of massage or something to try to get this fixed up right. In the mean time, I'm just doing what I can to loosen up.
TRI PUSHDOWNS
7 sets of 10, 3 sets of 8
*ascending, descending, ascending weights
*no rest
NEUTRAL GRIP ROWS
6 sets of 10
*ascending weight
Feeling good tonight. Bench went fairly well. Next week I move the weight up on bench and slingshot bench to 375 and 435, respectively. I'm going to cut one week off my training schedule and test my lifts a week early since I will most likely not be lifting at the meet. Some time I'll find a federation that has a therapeutic use exemption or just doesn't test.
First injection was today and it wasn't bad.

SQUAT & HORMONE PANEL RESULTS
Tuesday
week 8 day 2
SSB SQUAT
up to 395 for 4 sets of 3
GOOD MORNINGS (straight bar)
3 sets of 5, 45/135/225
Hamstrings were ON FIRE
Got my hormone panel results back today. Thyroid was normal. Everything in the standard labs was good except my LDL, VLDL, and Triglycerides were borderline high. The ratios (total cholesterol/HDL and HDL/LDL) were good.
My testosterone was low. 292 ng/dl for serum and 9 pg/ml for free. These numbers SHOULD NOT be low for someone my age. It's a little strange that I have this low of test and a full beard. Anyway, I'll be going in for injections every two weeks. From what I've read, it will probably be testosterone cypionate at 200 mg per visit. I'm really looking forward to my symptoms subsiding and feeling like myself again. Of course, putting on some muscle and leaning out will be a nice "side effect".

week 8 day 1
BENCH PRESS
up to 275 for 4 sets of 3, then 315 and 335 for singles
*all sets with 50 lbs of chain
This wiped me out. Gotta be more time-efficient in the gym though because the sessions are long and gonna get longer as we're getting more guys in the gym. Definitely a good thing.
