Unless you’re trying to have kids on cycle, and he isn’t, hypothetically I don’t see the need for HCG

Creep up your volume ever so slightly and see if you can still progress. If not revert to baseline. Repeat

Try performing an isometric on your traps while doing your side delt movements. If you do this your traps are forced to turn off and you can get a better feel for how you should be executing the movement to keep the side delt as prime mover. Another option is have a training partner or someone at the gym hover their fingers above your traps and make sure your traps don’t elevate and touch them during the movement

Thanks Ryan for making this. This is the aspect of bb I need to work on the most and feel a bit lost on as I don’t have anyone capable locally to guide me as I get ready for my first show this year. Are there any resources or content you’d suggest for beginners?

Main reasons are for recovery and to maximize the body’s heightened ability to partition carbs (via glut4) in the PWO state. If you want to maximize performance, and thus results, nutrient timing is important unless you’re a non-competitor or bodybuilding isn’t a top priority. I would encourage you to experiment with both approaches and monitor your training performance from there, see for yourself!

Be specific- what dosage are you on? How long have you been training and eating properly? If you can include pics that would be helpful too

Aim should be to still progress. Intensity same as normal, volume may need to be lowered if you can’t meet your recovery demands and/or are not progressing. If it comes to it, Fight to keep all tissue and strength with execution constant

It’s a phenylpropionate, whoever is saying e3d-e4d doesn’t understand the pharmacokinetics of that ester. EOD or minimum m/w/f

If you’re stateside, Reddit sst has since moved to a .org page and is g2g

[aellonfol]

You have a source with this? I’ve seen test ace but never TPP. Should be EOD, just like NPP…

I’ve tried but that site is a real eyesore and hard to navigate
