I'm a year in to my serious fitness journey with my wife. I've been lifting on and off again since I was 19, (31 now),, 3x a week with a few missed days because life happens (work travel, honeymoon, etc). I started with powerlifting, and after my first PL meet I placed in my division and got a medal, started doing Strongman after. Midway through my journey, I got my hormones tested and learned i make a very low amount of testosterone (numbers like 160, highest 260). Doc almost put me on Clomid, instead got Test/hcG from an online pharmacy. All the sudden feel not histrionic and neurotic. I'm a cheater bc I have a coach that i see those 3x a week but i think its helped me maintain consistency.

a year in though, im finally tracking macros, instead of eating as many high protein meals as I can. I'm at 245lbs, but could stand to lose 20-30lbs. i DL 440, bench 220, squat 400ish iirc. Hike intensely on varied elevation twice a week, will add a weight vest soon. Take my 5g creatine everyday with some citruline malate and pycnogenol+ginseng (recovering from pied). I take my glycine with chamomile tea at night, I have a CPAP now because my sleep therapist said i have extremely severe sleep apnea.

My current struggles are that
> I still don't sleep enough, i need at least 1-2 more hours of sleep, i just lose track of time and sleep at midnight or 1am.
> Love whole milk and dairy too much. I love fats. I could easily drink half a gallon and not even think about it. I limit to like a quart a day.
> hitting macros while also cutting is hard as fuck to organize. I love cooking too, so most of my meals are the same thing everyday, which can really put a damper on the fun of cooking.
> want to start swimming, but almost all the pools here are closed or inaccessible without an expensive membership, or are open to the public 2 hours in the middle of the day.

A strongman dude at gym said my arms are big tho, so i'm getting somewhere. like and subscribe.
