I should have probably specified that my goal is not to be a power lifter, but progress as a bodybuilder. Apologies for any confusion in the recent responses.

That said, I just got an earful of contradicting advice.

I'm off cycle. Im on TRT so my levels are solid and need no PCT. My elbows and shoulders have been sore for a month now.

While I enjoy lifting heavy with added program cycling in rep ranges, I wonder if that is ideal training off cycle as my joints don't tolerate it as well off cycle.

This led me to ask what my fellow more experienced counterparts using gear and training for years would advise.

Hopefully that's more clear.

Thanks!
