[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 272324, member: 15235"] On the libido front, there is no shame in using somethign from the viagra family, and the beetroot/nitric oxide pills may help as well. DHEA helps me as does vitamin C. The indigestion is strange, but yes, try a lower dose and maybe try at night after your daily digestion should be done. Trying GHRP6 to speed intestinal motility is another possibility, but only if nothing else works. Also, over-training will absolutely hurt erections and libido so I would avoid all max-effort lifts and be mindful of any signs of over-training. On the lifting front, some thoughtlets: - If you have access to a trap bar, I would do your deadlifts with that as it should be much more spine-friendly, especially for your body type. - I would not adopt the goals of others or compare yourself to others as that is a sure path to frustration. If you can add 20lbs per year to each of your major movements, you will be up 100lbs in 5 years which should equate to good strength. By progression I mean that you might add 5 lbs to one set every other week and that would equate to 5lbs every 10 weeks which is fine too if maintained over multiple years. You can also adapt you can also adapt you program to add sets which creates an undulating load pattern, such as working from 4 sets of three up to eights sets adding a set every two weeks, for example. Anything that creates gradual volume progression which will eventually lead to strength progression. - I would also add an explosive movement or two such as cleans and/or box jumps. Maintaining the ability to sprint is also key as is basketball for agility work and fine motor skills. - For all movements I would be hyper-attentive to form (e.g. dead stop at the bottom for bench presses and learning to "coil" during the descent.) - Something I have repeatedly found is that your body will tell you when you are reaching a point where you need to maintain at a strength level instead of gain and add in other things instead.

Above all, develop a long-term mindset and let consistency, learning, safety and form be your goals, and let the weights take care of themselves.
