Today hormone profile arrived. Test was taken during the fin cycle. Test levels appear low

[Pseudonym]

Interesting. I'll have to dig up the blood test I got done while on fin. Did you get a baseline done before the fin cycle?

Nah I didn't. Going to get another test done in two weeks to see where they are at.

It was hard enough to get the doctor to give me this test. Going to do everything private now.

Been a while since posting here. Still pumping that iron, but have decided not to complete this year.

Have had an interesting last couple of days which have been incredibly stressful. Have had a testicle cancer scare, hopefully it's just an infection. Spent most the day between GP medical clinic and the emergency department at the hospital. Getting ultrasound done this week sometime. I'm hoping it's just an infection or some trauma.

Inb4 too much real life

shit mate no good

think lumps and bumps can happen pretty easily, heaps of other things it can be rather than cancer, good luck

[jimmybro1]

Hope you lads are right!

Got ultrasound tomorrow.

[jimmybro1]

Update.

Had ultrasound today things are looking good technician Didn't see anything obvious. Get doctors report tomorrow.

[jimmybro1]

Forgot to update. 

 

Doctor rang yesterday afternoon to confirm that nothing to cause worry was found from the ultrasound apart from the fact that one testicle had three times the volume of the other! 

 

The mystery continues but its a massive relief to have cancer ruled out.

 

As for training have a bench session.

 

Bench 60x1x10, 80x1x10, 100x1x5, 120x5x3 (paused), 80x1x33

 

Incline dumbell 34x4x12

 

Seated dumbell press 30x5x12

 

Lateral raises 14x5x16

 

 

Shoulder and elbow were sore as  after benching 80x33!!!

I'm a bit late to the party here, so I'll just combine my "Shit, hope everything's ok for you, bro" with my "Phew, glad to hear you're alright", and put them both in the one post.

 

Does this have anything to do with the pain you had on finasteride?

It made be... the pain was in the same area but there was no swelling at that point in time.

 

After discontinuing the treatment pain went away in days so maybe the same issue that came back not sure.

 

Getting bloods done next week all the urine tests have come back normal. The urologist thought the low testosterone level from a previous blood test maybe due to one testicle not functioning due to the stresses it is experiencing from what he thought was an infection. 

 

Blood tests will confirm this. 

 

Pain has pretty much none and testicles seem to be functioning fine! I will get bloods done for testosterone again in the morning after finishing my course of antibiotics. 

 

Off to the Mount for the weekend to get on that diesel train won't be training!  

[Realtalk]

Good news bro.

[jimmybro1]

Going to try out squatting with wraps today. Should be interesting.

Thinking about working up to 220kg then deciding weather I will go beyond that.

Legs are a bit sore from football trainings so will be interesting.

[jimmybro1]

[Realtalk]

Yeah was easy weight!

[jimmybro1]

A bit of a frustrating workout today. Squats didnt go to plan, wanted to do 200x3x3 but ended but getting 200x2, 200x1, 200x2 and 200x1.

The reps were ugly IMO didn't film so couldn't really judge were the break down started. Was wrapping my own knees and couldn't get any consistency with the wrapping so tension differed a bit one each knee.

Need more practice wrapping. One thing I have noticed is that my calves get really sore after squatting, not sure if anyone else experiences this.

Maybe I'm wrapping too low?
