Idonttrainlegs1611 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 New to Gym nation, been training for about 5 years. Age23 weigh 78-79kg 172cm tall. I suffer from cystic fibrosis you may not have heard of it it's a lung condition which also effects the digestive system. Training keeps me out of hospital! Lung function is 49% which is much better than it has been for me my training consists of whatever I really feel like pretty generic split more powerlifting with a few isolataion exsersizes thrown in. Bench is 130 squat a dismal 120 and deadlift 175! Awesome forum been following for sometime now maccaz, gazza and FatGig 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome that you work around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idonttrainlegs1611 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hey mate! Compared to how it used to not much the lifting has helped tremendously . Cfers don't absorb much food so I really struggle to put weight on I eat about 5000cal a day to maintain and I'm in hospital a bit but pretty pleased with where I am... my testosterone levels are pretty low but not low enough for the docs to do anything so I did my first cycle about 10months ago and amazed and how much energy I had . Thinking of starting trt and seeing where my bloods sit but still deciding weather it's something I need to do or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing dismal about those numbers for anyone, let alone for someone with CF. You're an inspiration. Welcome to Gymnation, bro. Awesome to have you here.

Idonttrainlegs1611 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Thanks man! Really need to get my squat up though I just run out of breathe after 4reps ? It's such a big complex movement just wrecks me . Thanks for the positivity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
