Excited to follow this! Watched you at the exeter show, had you as the clear winner, condition was leagues above the others!

Ah thank you mate! It was an odd one but I’ll just have to make sure I come in miles better next time

Depending how hard you dieted that will be your Ghrelin response.

5 very high carb days + cheat meal each night to get it out of your system should set you back up nicely to get back on some sort of structured plan

236lb this morning. This stage is always a hard one for me as my appetite is through the roof and im in the “scared to lose condition phase” as i don’t want to mess things up and ruin my offseason by getting too sloppy now.

So its a case of do I just man up and deal with the hunger or up the food a touch to try and curb the hunger as cals aren’t too high atm roughly 280 pro, 513 carb, 40 fat

Interesting journal. Gonna follow as someone who is in similar position. Not after any show but deffo anty-sloppy phase and scared every morning to look in mirror thinking if ABS still there.?. Ghrelin is awfull.[/quote]
Welcome along mate! Hopefully we can muddle through this state together ha.

cracking session tonight, was nice to be back in the gym under some weight.. i did pull my lat a little which is a little sore now but nothing major.

the session was:

DB pull overs – 9 x 55kg, 12 x 47.5kg

Underhand Lat pulldown – 6 x 18pl (tweaked the lat on first set of this so didn’t do anymore)

block deads – 8 x 160kg

Prime attachment chest supported row 15 x 31.75, 15 x 31.75 (we only have 3 back pieces of kit so have to use a bench upright with cable) will be glad when i can train at UF!

was meant to do single arm DB row and high cable rear delts but lat was pretty sore by this point so made the decision not to put it under anymore stress.

finished with

single arm DB preacher 15 x 12.5kg, 15 x 12.5kg

dual cable curl 15 x 8.75

All in all a very good session and setting numbers that i can progress from.

Youth revisited atm imo are coming back with the most consistent testing , just done my second lot again with them

ahh awesome, i just had a look, their blood panel is very extensive too!!

Instagram: @adamedw4rds

[Adam]

Well done mate , great work. Imo some blood work now would be super useful , then once you do drop to a cruise can see how much you can improve that by end of the cruise period , how long do you plan to stay on bits before dropping lower to get all your health markers back in range ?

Thank you bud!! This week I’ll be dropping to test only and was going to order my bloods this week. Depending on how bloods look can see what health markers need addressing. i haven’t been on cycle too long so hopefully they aren’t too skewed.

What’s your workout split?

MON – Pull

TUES – Push

WED – REST

THURS – Back/hams (density day)

FRI – REST

SAT – Quads

SUN – REST

i devised this from JP’s newest ebook and tweaked it to suit my needs.

Looked phenomenal at your show mate! Has test tren mast always been a staple for you in the off season? Do you not get along with deca?

Thank you mate!

no, this is just me transitioning out of prep, i don’t like to just drop so ill lower dose for a couple of weeks.

offseason will likely be test, npp and possibly some eq as i find that combo very effective for me.

Instagram: @adamedw4rds

[Adam]

Mast and Tren i leave in.. test will drop 7-10 days. unless size is an issue then test i will keep in to hold fulness.

if doing 7iu GH then i would split the shots up in 3 & 4iu or 3 shots of: 3iu fasted, 2iu postWO, 2iu prebed so it would look:

fasted 3iu GH

5iu Slin with Meal 1

5iu slin with PreWO meal

2iu GH postWO – wait 20 mins and then eat (something Stefan advised)

2iu GH pre bed.

Personally i would run the slin only preWO and postWO and not AM but it depends when you train. There are various different ways to it them so run with one way and see how you get on and then try a different way to see if there is any difference.
