Hotter than Satans ballbag again, i was sweating like a rapist just walking into the gym, to be honest i didn't feel my best coming into the gym, this heat messes with us fat lads.
The gym was cooler with the aircon but i was still chuffing hot!! All in all though bench went well considering, i got up to 150 and after that press i was unsure if i had much in me...Anyhow the 160 went well so i thought f**k it...The 165 went even better and then wished id gone for the 170!!
But i had the words of Fat Pete ringing in my ears 'Always finish on a high with a bit more left'...On that note i was happy, 170 can wait Grin Wink

Worth looking into. Seems a waste to do all this work and not do a comp. You might just get a TUE with your doctor's support if the treatment is essential for health and there's no clinical alternative. It might be easier to get one in BDFPA. Worth asking. Another option is to lift in an untested fed, but then it's not really a level playing field for you, and it might f**k you up for lifting tested in the future.

Yes its prescribed from the Doctors...When i started taking insulin for my diabetes(And have to take more than average for it to control my blood sugars), it absloutely raped and killed my natural testosterone hence why im on the gel.
It might sound stupid but i still see myself as clean, in my mind the gel is only replacing what my body doesn't produce anymore...Anyhow watch this space i suppose stranger things have happened.

Maybe sound out a couple of feds? British Powerlifting likely to be more complicated as they're linked to WADA and UKAD, BDFPA might be more straightforward...? Tbh, cough, cough, insulin and testosterone are quite difficult to detect in tests...
