Thanks, Oldster! I doubt I'll catch up to you, but it's good to be in PR territory again.

HB Squat: 45 x5, 95 x5, 135 x5, 190 x5,5 beltless
Press: 45 x7, 75 x5, 95 x1, 100 x3 @7, 105 x3 @8, 110 x3 @9, 110 x5 @10 -- note RPEs wrong for first 3 sets
Pullups: bw x6,7
Chins bw x9,6

Slight cold, been sleeping extra to combat it. Feel relatively well-recovered from heavy day. Possibly the TRT is working.
Tested my press triples RPE ratings -- once again I was overestimating.
Press is now very close to my lifetime PR of 112 x5.

If I can retain consistency and resist pushing for PRs too often, I might be able to build from here instead of crashing like the previous two times I reached PR territory.
Especially since I'm supplementing T now.

All things are possible when you have stats like this!

Nice weather has arrived in Ohio. Generally felt strong this session, moved bench weight up.
Back rounded on first paused deadlift rep, during the pause. Rest of the reps were better. But my low back is sore the day after. Dummy.

I've been gaining weight unintentionally. Doc says maybe it's water retention from onset of TRT. Or maybe I'm eating too much.
Things felt heavy today, but the work got done.

Bonus 45 minutes of roller-skating at an elementary-school event before hand. I never skate, and struggled to stay upright.
Shins visibly indented at the sockline with water retention. Weird and scary.
