I’d personally…
Get some (real) cabergoline, take half a tablet every 3 days -4x. Caber is stupid strong and affects your dopamine – so ideally very minimal usage.

Then lower your test and then add in Primo or Masterton, to replace your lowered test 🙂 For me

I can only run 200-225mg of test before my e2 is on the higher end, which over time – will raise my prolactin. I feel amazing on 200 test/400-600 primo.

Both do not aromatize, and will compete with the aromatase enzyme and “lower” your e2.

Then do the same bloodwork around 6 weeks later.

I ran it self prescribed 10mg for about 6 months. Had about 3 weeks of dry lips, but not cracked and bleeding etc. worked like a charm and now I have very minimal acne ever. I used to get like 10-15 big cystic acne pimples on my back whenever I changed my cycle. Not anymore.

From what I know..
Low libido (and maybe erection quality) = low E.

High/Normal Libido (and maybe erection quality) = high E.

Prolactin also plays a role.. in all of this. But for sure the above are correct 🙂

[apeek22]

Lol – I love the honesty. Also love ya’lls training videos! Thanks!

[apeek22]

I have 3 gyms to train in… I had 4 rotations. So every 14 days I’d repeat a rotation. Ran that for 6 months with great results.

[apeek22]

I’d have your second/back off set be higher reps. Depending on the movement this could be up to 20 reps.

I’d also add in another rotation maybe even 2, so you would have 4 rotations.

How will you run the split? Upper lower off repeat?

For sure communicate with your Coach – if your coach isn’t receptive to talking to you…. #dumptheirass lol.

I’ve been working with JP since January of this year. Prior to JP I started with a coach that didnt last 3 weeks, didn’t reply to emails, put me on a generic split, didn’t appear to even read my intake for on what foods etc. I’m sure the test of the TBJP is also amazing.

JP has been amazing to work with. I coach marketers in single industry and it’s a two way street. The client needs to adhere and provide meaningful info/data to the coach to help them make decisions. If you do not voice concerns/complaints.. the coach assumes you are great and will not try to extract issues that aren’t there – right?

[apeek22]

I’d up the rep range or switch the set to a rest pause set. Can also move it to the end of your workout – might have some fatigue to make the machine last longer.

Can you also go wider?

[apeek22]

I am similar – back and legs progress very consistently – some-weeks weight AND rep increases 🙂

Push – I progress – but much slower.

Exercises:
Slight Incline DB (like 15/20 degrees – add a couple plates under the back if your bench doesn’t do this)
Smith incline/slight incline
Machine Press – Hammer Strength, Prime, etc.
Pec fly/DB Fly/Cable Cross, etc.

IF you love Flat DB – you can always change the order of sets. So.. if you have been doing 2 sets, but 7-9 reps, and then 10-12 reps. Reverse that and do.. 10-12, then 7-9.

Can also change your rep range on chest movements – maybe you need lower or higher reps than what you have been doing? I tend to progress a bit easier in the 8-12 rep range.

I’d also review your Tricep movements – maybe they are not ideal and are not helping your chest movements. They’re all connected 🙂

[apeek22]

Personally – I wold do a Lower/Upper split – this will be MUCH more flexible for your schedule.

So have 3-4 different variations of your Lower day and 3-4 different variations of your Upper days depending on the equipment available at your gym. So you’ll be repeating the same variation once every 14 days or so.

[apeek22]

I think having him film himself and then compare the rep speed of his last rep to failure vs those who know how to push themselves will show a lot.

This really helped me out, also side benefit was uncovering some machines/lifts that are not ideal. As in one of the hack machines I use, the resistance profile is super heavy at the bottom compared to another Hack I use, adding a reverse band completely transforms this machine and I can reallllyyyy push myself on it now as compared to before when I would literally just get stuck, there was no grinding out the last rep or two.

[apeek22]

No real alternative, but when our gyms were closed my leg days were….

Heel elevated back squats (feels like hack) Build this with wood. Prime Fitness makes awesome wedges but are $$$.
Heel elevated Front Squats
Trap Bar deadlifts – low handle, heel elevated and not elevated.
Walking BB Lunges
Bulgarian Squats/Split Squats

For me – I’d do a higher rep first, then the heavy as my back/glutes is usually the weak point on squats. This would help keep my form nice and tight.

[apeek22]

Also would say that your workouts are not hard enough if you can have that frequency. IMO – you should try this and watch your numbers progress MUCH faster.

With that said – I alternate muscle groups with my U/L split….I also have more variety of movements but less sets. So back might be 5 sets, but 3 exercises.

Chest
Lats (usually vertical pull)
Chest
Lats (big compound)
Tris(usually CGBP, dips etc)
Lats/back..

etc.

Good stuff my man

@youngoscar
After the convertisation we had, had hard time falling asleep thinking am i a whiny fucking bitch and i dont wanna be on so the next day i went trough your answers and JP’s video “setting up fullbody program” from education
the template goes “Heavy lower/Light Upper 1 , Heavy Upper/Light Lower 1 , Heavy Lower/Light Upper 2 , Heavy Upper/Light Lower 2” So 4 different sessions
and sets and rep ranges are just as JP told in the video, one set on everything except Quad compound
attaching a picture of them for any changes? Not sure about the spot for RDL is it ok?[/quote]
I’d make changes to your rep ranges. Progressing on 6-10, imo you’ll be on the same weight vs adding weight each week or every other. I’d swap those for 7-9 or 6-8.

Adductors id change to either 10-12 or 12-15. Low range on that, unless your machine can adjust the strength curve SEEMS like you could injure yourself a bit easily.

I’d also lower the 15-20 to something like 12-15 or 13-17. I think adherence to consistent form will very difficult in those rep ranges.

[apeek22]

Would also be interesting to see your form on your hip hinge movements. What rep ranges are you using?
