Anyone on here with Cystic Fibrosis?

[Idonttrainlegs1611]

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!

Welcome mate. How does cf affect you generally ? Imagine it restricts your conditioning a bit. Awesome that you work around it.

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

Mate! 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.

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
