Did shoulders today. Brutal.

Behind the neck presses I did a few triples at 155 and a few singles at 165. Blah.

Then shrugs....

Upper Back Day: pulldowns, pulldowns, and more pulldowns, followed by Meadows rows to 150lbs then just for fun did some light barbell curls.

Hey, at least you're getting in there... It could be worse.

Everything is a struggle lately. I'm trying hard but just feeling weak.

Thinking about maybe getting some blood work done and see if I have some T level issues...

I hear ya... I'm " " this close to switching to sumo b/c I just can't seem to get my conventional set-up to feel right. I hate to switch but I mean it can't get worse.

Perhaps change things up a bit... Hell, you're still killing it.

Just my .02 but at your age and your situation (meaning you're stable financially), I'd get on HRT + GH. I don't know how difficult it would be in your area though but if it's a possibility I'd look into it.
