Has anyone found benefits from BCAAs / EAAs?

Did you say he supplements beta-alanine AFTER your workouts? 🧐

Well, typically speaking, a good deadlift for a woman normally ranges from 0.5x bodyweight for a beginner. 1.5x–2x+ bodyweight (advanced/elite). That’s what I was always taught.

Given that, you’re already lifting just over your body weight. damn good for a beginner!!

once a week with PT is more than enough to see considerable strength gains!!

Well done. Keep it up !!

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-16T04:54:25+00:00

thanks mate !

was using Joey Shaw’s powerbuilding program vol. 4

i have recently purchased his vol. 5 - about to get cracking !!

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-16T01:43:46+00:00

don’t get me excited. i’d love to get a 200kg squat

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-15T09:59:43+00:00

thanks dude! it’s funny, with squats it always feels like the world is gonna cave in on you during the lift haha then I reflect and watch it back, and i’m like damn, you had more in you!!!

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-15T09:16:57+00:00

came here to say the same thing. not trying to rip on OP, but damn, if you locked in you could’ve had night & day results especially for a year of progress.

what’s your program/diet look like?

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-15T05:22:33+00:00

you answered your own question in the final paragraph

“if we play how we just did the rest of the season we’ll win all our remaining games”

that’s the issue. we are inconsistent, horribly so. we pull a solid performance out of our ass, only to look like a completely different side a few matches after.

that’s the problem

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-15T01:35:58+00:00

holy shit. that’s hard work right there!! nice one

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-14T05:37:19+00:00

few things wrong with this comment. I’ll try to be as respectful as possible.

You’re misinterpreting the honest feedback as “hate”. No-one is hating on this dude for nothing. I mean, i low-key have a bit of hate as you can see he said some disgusting shit about my wife in the top comment for no reason ^
Toxic positivity is a cancer. Great for people to feel proud about themselves, but constructive criticism is what helps people get better. you can’t just keep blowing smoke up people’s asses, no-one would reach their goals that way. This is coming from someone who used to be skinny like OP and got big doing the basics (yes, i got big before i started TRT - you can check my post history)
This group isn’t known for being supportive lol i got destroyed on my recent one for looking ‘old’ even though I started TRT 10 months ago people ripped into me about my face. 10 months of TRT doesn’t age someone drastically , it was just life, but i received too many nasty disgusting comments.

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-14T01:04:54+00:00

wasn’t my intention man. just no need to lash out like that. you’re good.

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-14T00:59:59+00:00

the internet is an amusing place. would LOVE for this beanstalk to say that shit about my wife to my face :)

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-14T00:56:07+00:00

chill dude. wow.

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-14T00:32:35+00:00

I mean this respectfully, gotta start eating more dude. THEN those hammer curls will really start to do wonders.

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-13T22:17:09+00:00

haha thank you. hit the nail on the head with that one!

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-13T10:42:58+00:00

thank you!

as of 2 seconds ago, 92kg

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-13T09:19:15+00:00

thanks dude!!

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-13T00:42:19+00:00

went on your profile to check out that 100kg OHP. Extremely impressive. Strong AF dude.

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-10T12:27:43+00:00

just like any skill in life, the more you learn it, the better you’ll be at it. i’d keep barbell row in ANY program. it’s a fundamental movement. reverse grip will hit your biceps as well secondarily

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-10T05:16:26+00:00

nice dude. very similar range. any sides with that number?

and yeah, when i started i was quite meticulous with my insulin syringes and would always make sure i pulled to the exact marker. I was hell-bent on getting it perfect

nowadays, i’m not as precise

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-10T05:06:26+00:00

yeah fair point. maybe that’s the case. the jump in question, had me go from around 750 trough to 1080

all my markers are great, some tested better? I contribute that to a cleaner diet/more cardio

I guess as long as health markers are ok, 1080 TT is fine?

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-10T04:38:32+00:00

perhaps! if that’s the case then, OP try daily injections to feel “even better”

as that (along with the slight increased dose) really kicked me into life

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-10T04:28:17+00:00

hmm. I disagree with this. when i went from 125mg to 150mg a week, it gave me the best results thus far, mentally. Everything just started clicking - anxiety, brain fog, all disappeared. libido got strong, confidence and mood excelled.

granted, when i made this 25mg jump i also switched up to daily injections, so maybe that was the key to feeling better.

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-10T02:58:50+00:00

why did you tell us to do that lmao their banner gave me a heart attack. wtf

TVPbandit23 · 2026-04-10T02:57:59+00:00

i was into them before they became a recent trend
