Minimizing strength loss in squats during a brief layoff

[Yngvi]

But how FAT are you?

Decidedly bigger than the guys in this thread that are complaining about it.

Rip, thanks. I love only been on TRT for a few months and haven’t got a blood test to see where I’m at. Current prescription dose is 100mg/week.

Yngvi:
I can get down to play, but I’m super tight all of the time, especially in my hamstrings. So it’s just uncomfortable, even more so on hardwood floors. I’m definitely not looking for a reason to stop lifting though. Honestly it’s become such an integral part of my day to day that I think I’d become seriously depressed if I had to stop. I probably do need to become more well rounded though because my bench press and deadlift are completely out of proportion to my squat (315 bench, 485 dead - last time I maxed, which was awhile ago). I’ve focused super hard on squats because there is just something about pushing a hard set of squats that can’t be replicated elsewhere for me.
