    yes you could do that but if you are just starting your program don’t do the submax set straight away from the beginning and don’t throw them in randomly! they have a purpose. i personally would preferably stick to techniques like rest-pause sets, muscle-round sets , myo-rep sets or straight sets as your main builders but if you can’t recover properly anymore, i would switch from one of the listed techniques to submax sets instead of dropping one exercise completely to reduce volume. always keep your training intensity as high as possible. i basically use it as a “deload tool” instead of placing it just to add more volume. there is a reason why its called “high frequency/low volume“! so try to keep volume low! if your intensity is getting to a point where you can’t recover anymore, than it might be smart to implement submax sets.

    than cruising might be smarter anyway!

    cruising for a few month won’t hurt you. as long as you are not staying on for years and years on time, you will most likely be totally fine. once you are shut down, you are shut down and this usually happens after a few weeks on cycle. it doesn’t really make a diffarence anymore if you pct now or in 4 months time… it will be the exact same process.

    why do you feel the need to use t3? is it a contest prep or just a cut? for how long are you dieting right now?

    i see no point in doing pct for 6-8 weeks break. either blast through or cruise, blast and than pct.

    yes and no.
    a drop set is a intensity technique and thats something different. the thought behind it might be simular (to add more volume and to increase intensity to set a new stimulus). comparing them would be like comparing apples and oranges. a dropset or superset is a technique that will allows you to push beyond conventional failure. in order to work the muscle harder, you change the “type” of stimulus. hypertrophy can be created through different ways and methods. the easiest ways to force ana adapation is either an increase in mechanical tension (using more weights), volume (doing more sets) and/or metabolic stress (increasing the intensity). this are the key factors for building new muscle! if one of those 3 increases, your muscle will be forced to adapt. i would categorize a drop or superset more towards metabolic stress and submax sets more towards volume but both will work for muscle growth.

    i would not consider them as real warmup sets. a warmup should be light. a submax set can (and often will) include 2-3 hard reps. for example: lets say your working set on squats is 180kgx8. submax sets could be 150×12-15 and 160×10-12. a warmup for me would be 100×15, 140×5, 150×4, 160×3, 170×3, 180x 1-2, followed by my working set. 150×12-15 and 160×10-12 will still be hard sets! i personally don’t want to give out % ranges because some people are way stronger on low reps and vice versa. just choose a sensible weight according to the given rep range. it should burn, it should be hard but not to thepoint where your eyes are popping out of your head, you get nosebleeds and almost shit your pants. train like 80% of the people you see in the gym when you do submax sets ????.

    i have bought a meat mincer and i have to say, it was one of the best investments in a long time! Long term it will save you a lot of money and you will always be able to choose the exact fat content of your mince. i couldnt eat turkey before because it was so damn dry and i just hated the texture. since i mince it its actually became some of my favorite meat sources. atm i mince all my meat and i feel that it even improved my Digestion because it wont sit in my stomach for a shorter period of time.

    exactly! the doses and drugs i have listed are for an advanced user. if you are relatively new to drugs, a bit of anavar or dbol will be plenty.
    if you are somewhere in the middle of your weight class and you have a few kg space, dbol would be my go to drug. if you are close to the upper limit, i would stick to halo and var because they usually won’t effect your bodyweigth at all.

    i personally do submax sets (stopping approximately 2 reps before failure) to add volume to my workouts. this might sound like fluff work but these are actually still hard sets if considering that failure means absolute true muscle failure !!! a certain amount of volume is necessary for muscle growth. with this method you can work up to a very heavy all out loading set but being able to preserve as much strength as possible for your important set. you are actually priming the muscle for the main set. i personally would not focus too much on progressing submax sets. i do log them but i don’t try to beat them every single time. if i would do this i would probably take away from my loading on my heavy working set. if they are progressing over time (which they usually will) its totally fine. focus on your heavy loading sets! progressing on those should be your absolute priority because this are the sets that do the real muscle damage.

    thats why i won’t touch my legs anymore… i always got horrendous pip, no matter what.
    another thing that always freaked me out was that every time i stuck a needle in my quad i heard ripping and cracking noises (like when you pull on a kitchen towel too hard)… so fucking disgusting…

    anavar and halo are awesome for strength and both won’t affect your weight. i personally would do 50/20 and for the last few days before your meet you could even go as high as 100/40. other than that, test suspension/base, tren suspension/base and methyltrienolone can bring insane strength gains in a very short period of time.

    you cant generalize this. hgh is not hgh. we dont know the quality of your hyge batch. it could be underdosed or fake as well. its not pharma!
    if you take 4 or 5 iu of generic gh with the same effects as 2 iu op pharma (but still less cost) than i would take the generic.
