I had my 50 year check up about a month ago. I wanted to know what my testosterone level was. I had to just about beg my doctor to throw that in with all the other blood work. I understand my doctor's hesitance because of all the commercials pushing T as some kind of Fountain of Youth. I assumed that he would do a full hormonal workup (i.e. estrogen and estrodiol). That was not the case. I just got the testosterone number and it turns out mine is just below the low end of the spectrum for what's "normal". I was not surprised. The test was taken at the end of day and not early in the morning (if that has any bearing on it). My  doctor doesn't want to put me on any kind of hormonal therapy (although he'd be more than happy to write me a script for the little blue pill). To be honest, I don't want to start down that road anyway. I've cut most of the junk out of my diet. At 5'6", I'm down to the mid-180's. I was pushing into the 210's at my heaviest, from slavishly following the advice from ruddy-faced gurus who told me I had to weigh over 200 LBS to have any chance at a better than mediocre bench and squat. Well, my lifts did increase, but not as much as my body fat percentage. So at this point, I'll settle for mediocrity and keep lifting for the love of it.

Sleep's been poor. What little I got has been thanks to Big Pharma.

Went to the belt earlier than usual. Normally, I wait until the last set or two. My lower back's been a little crunchy. I must have subconsciously put it on. I didn't even realize I was wearing it until I was halfway through my second set.
