I ran 5x5 after a 6 month hiatus from lifting. After a trip in early February, I switched to MADCOW. I absolutely love the program and the weekly progression system. This is my “medium day.” Last week I crushed 280x3 on bench. I only see 2 possible routes from here with my current caloric intake (2500 cals a day, cutting)

De-load bench 10-% and rebuild and start a new madcow “cycle”

Use micro plates which i have

Other lifts
290x5 squat
420x5 deadlift
230x5 row

Body weight currently 227, down from 245 (November)

Sleeping 7-9 hours solid each night w minor sleep interruptions to take a piss

Walking 3 10-15 minute walks a day with no hiit or running.

Thanks guys!

I recently went with the intention of hoping to receive TRT from a specialist that is known for prescribing it. I was told I need to go on dhea (which I know does nothing) before I can be prescribed TRT. I’m 27, 6 foot, 227 pounds, and have been power lifting for 3 years with a 1220 total 100% natural. Don’t feel the need to state why I want to start TRT aside from the obvious.

Edit - doctor is a hormone doctor. Should have clarified that
