Sure! There is what doctor's say is a normal range for free testosterone. Although it may be normal, it probably isn't optimal for lifting. I was just curious what range is considered low for lifting.

Oh definitely! I'm just curious to know a little more of the nitty gritty.

I used to lurk here a lot. Got injured a While ago and started slowly getting back in shape this last year. Lost 30 lbs and want to lose another 40 or so.

With that, I've had a question and I...

good luck!

Would it be okay to add a front shin curl for tibialis anterior or is that completely unnecessary?
