[QUOTE="ValkyrieXB70, post: 191254, member: 41461"] No offense taken sir. I am working hard on sleep hygiene now. Got a weighted blanket, noise generator, and try to retire early when possible. Most of my main lift training is in lower rep ranges, anywhere from 3 to 7, but generally 5 reps. Accessories are 8-15 reps generally. I hear you on the plateaus. I feel most of my solo training has been plateaus. Very very difficult to progress on any lift even with adequate calories and protein, sufficient sleep, and intense effort put into heavy compound movements, exercises varied after 4 to 8 weeks etc. I will be doing back squats again at some point. Right now my trainer is focusing on my deadlift. I have had good progress on sumo deads the last couple months so we are riding that wave as long as possible. My so so recovery ability means I can only push one or two lifts up at a time though. I don't ever plan on actual powerlifting competition. It would be unethical for me to do so on TRT, and I would have nothing to gain by competing. I am looking at TRT more for the mental benefits, as SSRIs and amphetamines for depression and ADHD have their own sometimes nasty side effects. Some of those side effects look bad enough that I fear they could push me to a dark place I don't want to go [/QUOTE]
