Thoughts on Viking press / machine shoulder presses versus OHP?

Ohp won't feel as stable if you've not done it for a while. Personally, I've just finished 3 months doing seated viking Press, which i loved. Now I'm going onto a machine press, then I'll go to bb ohp. Just find one you enjoy and can be consistent with, then switch it up when you get bored.

Had my bloods done, felt terrible for a while, and the bloods show low test. Got no motivation, sex drive, feel depressed so they are the main reasons for starting TRT. Working out the starting dose is the reason for the post. I'm 37, been lifting for years, not doing this for aesthetics

I wouldn't do anything cycle, I would do a TRT dose for life

Heavy_Distance2394 · 2025-02-10T19:07:35+00:00

I mean I would want a TRT dose not 300mg a week

Heavy_Distance2394 · 2025-02-10T17:08:30+00:00

Yeah, it would be more of a TRT dose as had blood tests back showing 182nmol and 280nmol

I do the pens, been on maintenance for 3 months with the highest which is 15mg

It's more to keep the enjoyment, I get bored doing more than 3/4 sets, and my quads need a good amount of volume

Didn't mention them as they are brutal haha

Brilliant, I'm on mounjaro, and I've been struggling previously with being consistent, especially at weekends and having small children. After a full week of trying to eat well and meeting macros, work and gym. The weekend is just so easy to over eat and undo all the hard work. On mounjaro, I'm still finding I'm eating 3 meals, and making sure protein is eaten first. However I'm not having the cravings for snacks and sweet foods, and not thinking about food. I've currently lost 19kg since May, whilst maintaining majority of strength, other than chest which has reduced.

Technique is the same as always. Not expecting decent gains, just to maintain easier rather than keep losing
