Checked in with Nick this morning, the first big drop in fullness and another 3lbs drop so we’re going to have an off plan tonight, 750g carbs tomorrow and then 1000g on Monday. No other changes. Training was excellent this week, but the drop in fullness is noticeable, and with 12 weeks to go I have plenty of time/scope to bump food for 2-3 days.

More than likely the carrier oil. However, I’ve come across a few instances that someone has been using a 1ml insulin pin to inject – which is standard protocol with most – but they’ve been putting the oil into fattier body parts, therefore the oil just sits under the skin in lumps like you described, rather than going into the tissue itself. The guy always complained he was in a tonne of pain, and even after switching labs a few times he still had the same issues, and then it clicked. All pain stopped when he stopped putting 1ml pins into fattier regions.

Not a whole lot to report from yesterday’s push session. It was quite a busy day with 1-2-1 sessions, as well as my own training and online work, but so long as everything is dialled in diary wise it never really gets too much. I’d much rather be busy than not.

If that’s the case run 25mg twice like the boys are saying, but watch/test to see how your response is first.

A pretty busy NTD yesterday shooting with Primal for their new line of equipment. In the offseason I usually turn shoots down, but I’m close enough to my first show now that I don’t mind doing them. It was a lot of fun, but it meant I had to pull an hour out of my sleep last night to get cardio and steps done, but needs must.
I have that sinus throbbing feeling at the top of my nose. I’ve managed to dodge all of the bugs and viruses so far, but I think that’s me finally taken one for the team. It won’t stop me doing anything, I just need to get as much sleep at the weekend as possible.

From what I remember, I saw no difference in my mental state other than feeling like I had a bit more in the way of “drive” – not sex drive, although, there was a lot more of that too. I personally felt a lot more locked in mentally, maybe that was down to the fact that I was now taking something so I wanted to make full use of it.
I definitely notice mood/anxiety shifts on EQ and tren (tren to the point where I don’t use it), but as for test, I feel brilliant mentally.

A great start to the week with a spot on push (chest) session. Having had the 750g the day before, and close to 600’ish carbs pre -workout it was thoroughly fuelled, ironically, not 1 number was beaten, but it was still a great session.

Agreed with Haider, get a reputable coach and take it from there. As much as this forum is packed full of great information on what a lot of the TBJP athletes are doing, that’s specific to them. A coach will help you manoeuvre through all of the information and get to a setup that is right for you far quicker than if you did things by yourself.

An incredibly chilled day yesterday. My better half and I went to a spa in the borders for the day. I’d say it was probably the best spa I’ve been to in the UK. We’ll definitely be making the trip there again.
Yesterday was the first of the 2 high days (750g). I feel it’s done a good bit in terms of filling me out, and I have another 1000g today. In years gone by we’ve scheduled off plans in every Saturday, but this year we’ve not had 1 yet. No reason other than I don’t feel I need that amount of a hit to bring my body/training back up.

I agree with the secondary work being enough, however that’s just me. If you had to train them I’d make sure you didn’t go crazy with direct work, maybe 3-4 sets per week as the forearms are used while training every single body part from rowing dumbbells to even just bracing leg machines.

Checked in with Nick yesterday at 269.4, so a 2lb drop from last Saturday. The visuals are looking tighter as well, however, we’ve decided to up the pace a bit more and push for a faster rate of visual progression, so we’ve dropped the carbs by another 15%.
I’ll be running a high day today (non-training day 750g) and a high day tomorrow (training day 1000g).

A perfect back session yesterday, everything clicked. Last week I pulled a working set out of the SA DB row, but this week I swapped the order of PL low row with DB, so the working set was thus removed from the low row. We start training at 12 (usually 1) so I had a lot more time on my hands in the afternoon than I usually do so I decided to do Saturday’s set cardio PWO, this means I can have a proper chilled day today.
Posing rounds is now up at 7 rounds first thing – that extra round feels like an extra 30 minutes of cardio. . .

I personally just wouldn’t run NPP if this is what you’re noticing. Some compounds are just a no go for some people. Granted you notice good results, but at what cost?

A solo push (shoulder) session yesterday, so I swapped out the high incline DB press for a high incline SM. My training partner doesn’t lift the DBs for me, he has his hands behind my elbows when I load them just to make sure the elbow/arm/shoulder doesn’t kick. I have loaded the weight I used by myself before, but it just takes away that worry/stress.
