Anyways, like a good boy I hit the gym up knowing it was chest and shoulder day. On the way there I was trying to psyche myself up because this is typically my most frustrating day at the gym. Anyways, I get there and I'm doing my first working set with incline dumbell presses and the weights felt light. My neck wasn't bothering me nor was my tendonitis. I felt strong so I kept going up in weight.
I'm a month off of my blast and back at my TRT dosage and my lifts have been down quite a bit. That said, my lifts today were equal to or greater than the peak of my last blast. I felt awesome (besides not being able to breath) and the weights were going up with ease. For the first time in 2+ years I could actually press stronger with my right arm than my left. This tells me 1 of 2 things:
1.) The TB500 is absolutely working on healing my neck (which I know it is because the pain has gone from a sharp nagging pain to a very dull twinge) thus allowing my pressing motion to be returning to where it should be. This is the best case scenario as moving forward will be so much easier to get my chest and shoulders back to size while not being the fairly decent sized guy benching 200lbs. Not that I care about anyone else when I'm there but I've had people looking over at me when I was struggling with 200-225lbs bench presses.
2.) My blast- which was 750mg Test E and 400mg Masteron Prop (cutting cycle) was severely under-dosed and my TRT (pharmacy Test C) dose of 200mg/week (yes it is high) is bringing my test levels HIGHER than what I was using. I am also eating more which will compound this and increase strength.
My guess though is that my gear was def. a bit underdosed but not much. Whenever I blast again I'm going to keep my TRT dose from the pharmacy and add in whatever else I'm blasting with.
Back on Topic: I'm ecstatic about my progress with the TB500. It's bringing my quality of life back to near normal and it is totally healing things up. My hip (replaced hip) has been felling awesome lately too but I'm not sure if that is a coincidence or not but I'll take it. I only have a few weeks left of my TB cycle but I've decided to extend it an extra 2-4 weeks before going to a maintenance dose of once monthly.
