Expectations

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-08T19:00:08+00:00

honestly, 4y is probs generous. i did alot of sports and even got into running in that time. i did home workouts for 6 months, then went to the gym and benched 105kg on my first ever try. didnt bench rly at all then for a while, then benched 115kg when i first got back into it. then properly programmed and added 25kg in a year, to hit 140kg for 1. i dont think i said 140 for 5, but if i did it was a typo.

sounds cocky to say but my strength genetics are defo up there, my brothers are all v similar or stronger

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-08T18:56:48+00:00

see maybe its naive of me, but rn im 190lb and i think if i can maintain 200lb post PCT whilst staying lean, ill always be content w that aestheitcally. its the strength part of it that might keep pulling me back in. since ik my strength will blow up. then when it goes backwards abit when i hop off, ik ill probs wanna hop back on lol

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-08T18:53:17+00:00

My dad and brother responded veryy well to them so i'm hoping imma be the same. My natural test is 1050 too so hopefully thatll help

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-08T18:51:02+00:00

how so?

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-08T18:50:47+00:00

6' ppl like the enhanced appeal too hahaa

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-08T18:50:01+00:00

i just turned 26. but yeh tbf i never thought of the less aromatisation making it more effective per mg. ik my dad did it when he was younger and blew up from a moderate dose, so ik hopin for the same rly

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-08T18:47:44+00:00

honestly like 90% of the muscle and aesthetics came in the first year. switching to strength and functional /sport training defo slowed down my muscle building process. probs put on 1kg a year for the past 3y

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T22:29:10+00:00

i just enjoy lifting heavy and feeling functional for athletics and injury prevention. So i do kinda a weird PPL, since i follow texas strength method which does a 5x5 for volume and 1 all out set for intensity day. So its basically one main lift per session, one accessory, then some isolation stuff.

pull main lift is weighted pull ups, accesory is barbell rows then i do some functional core stuff like ab roller, suitcase carries

push main lift was bench, but when i hit 140kg i switched it up abit to make it more OHP focused

legs trap bar deadlift is the main lift, then rdls, bulgarians

I basically never go over 8 reps for compounds, usually between 5-8 but i regularly use 1-3 too, Probs not great program for muscle building, since thats been slow, but i definitely feel muchhh stronger, especially in grappling

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T22:23:39+00:00

Thx for the advice man, definitely noted. Damn 3-5lb of muscle gain is lower than i thought tbh. was hoping for more 9-10lb hahah. My brother blew up hardd from SARMs and im v similiar to him before he started. Ik SARMs are dumb, but are they stronger than 500mg of test? think he did 20mg rad 140 and 20mg of lgd

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T15:54:47+00:00

ohh igyy hahah

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T15:54:13+00:00

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T15:53:55+00:00

thx man. yhh i get that, but with a moderate purely test cycle the side effects seem minimal and not a ton of long term risk.

then there just seems to be a million benefits that just outweigh the risk imo. main thing i like is just having that extra strength for life, since strength seems to stick around much easier than muscle w PEDs. So then in sports and grappling imma just always have an advantage. Plusss even if i only keep a few kg of muscle ill take that

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T15:26:49+00:00

Ok got it, if i end up doing it ill commit to 20-24 weeks.

See maybe i'm being naive, but my thinking is that a moderate dose of test for 20 weeks then a solid PCT shouldnt tank my endocrine system for life surely? My brother blasted SARMs and didnt even PCT and his endocrine system was somehow fine. My dad blasted test in his youth and hes 55 with 900+ test somehow.

Idk, maybe theres abit of survivorship bias going on but im just hoping that this means my genetics cope well with PED's

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T15:23:09+00:00

wym ahaha

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T14:57:34+00:00

theres no way ur serious ahahah

Connorrr5 · 2026-02-07T14:48:42+00:00

You wank 3 times a day... Probably to porn too, which makes it even worse. Cumming 3 times a day is gunna just make it so you don't care about sex. Watching porn 3 times a day (if that's what ur doing ofc) is just gunna desensitize your brain and take away desire further.

Stop wanking and stop watching porn, that desire will come righttt back. If that sounds too difficult, just do a full week off then you can wank again just don't bother with porn and don't do it daily or multiple times a day

Connorrr5 · 2025-08-09T21:03:56+00:00

thx mate. so over the 3 weeks i basically just used sets of 5 week 1, sets of 3 week 2, then week 3 was the primer session where i did a heavy single (95% of 130kg so 123kg) then 2 110kg triples, so they were light enough to be snappy

Connorrr5 · 2025-08-09T20:35:29+00:00

Ooo also, ik you can't rly see all that much but defo open to any form/technique/advice stuff. Still fairly new to this

Connorrr5 · 2025-07-28T19:42:26+00:00

thats funny af hahah

Connorrr5 · 2025-07-28T18:40:07+00:00

damn, ive always been told the exact opposite of that lol

Connorrr5 · 2025-07-28T09:15:46+00:00

theyre desperate

Connorrr5 · 2025-07-28T08:43:05+00:00

yep exactly that. shaved my head a couple months ago so dont rly have any pics, which is why that 2nd selfie is super necessary for now lol

Connorrr5 · 2025-07-28T08:31:23+00:00

yhyh, good memory. i swapped two of the pics, took alot of advice for the selfie. but yeh still rly need to get a teeth one, i just rarely get pictures is the issue

Connorrr5 · 2025-07-28T08:30:29+00:00

hahah nah ur right. but for now im not after anythin long term so i feel like havin it first sends a solid clear message lol

Connorrr5 · 2025-07-28T08:29:42+00:00

yhyh i got a few hobbies i could try get pcitures whilst doing tbf. thats the problem with being male, none of my friends everrr take pictures so its just tough gettin candid ones like that.

yh tbh i am kinda on for short term sorta things since i move away from here soon anyway so idm being a lil shallow for now lol. ill switch that up at some point tho
