I had a full day tattoo sitting today, so not a lot to report! I did a short run first thing to get some movement in, then have pretty much been sat down for the rest of the day.. I’m completely exhausted now!

EAAs mid training and complete protein from foods for meals. Protein powders can be used in some meals for convenience or for quick delivery, such as pre and post training.

Today is a rest day from training. I did a nice long run this morning along the coast, which was lovely. I really enjoy my runs for my mental head space and the feeling of getting the heart pumping in the fresh air.

The rest of the day has been getting through a long to-do list of bits and bobs and getting through them slowly, but surely!

I don’t see any issue wearing the single ply knee sleeves. They can help to keep the knee joint warm and gives a bit of extra stability and confidence so reps feel smoother and more controlled. Single ply sleeves offer only a light compression with more mobility, whereas double ply or thicker neoprene sleeves give a slight rebound and more support. I personally use the single ply for every leg session, but I would only advise using the thicker ones if you have any existing knee issues or constantly doing heavy work such as in powerlifting or strongman.

What do you mean by dedicating a whole day to cardio? I think the issue here is that you’re trying to rush a cut by going so aggressive, and you’re now struggling to adhere. I would take it more gradual, then you wouldn’t have to be so extreme and will be able to control your hunger more. Retaining the muscle you have built during your gaining phase will be more successful too if you take things slower.

If time is limited, then PPL would probably be a better choice. If you also can’t train on Wednesdays or Saturdays, then maybe this set up would work for you:

Mon – Off

Tues – Pull (with a hip hinge)

Weds – Off

Thurs – Legs

Fri – Push

Sat – Off

Sun – Legs/Arms

Morning update is no bruising or swelling but unfortunately there’s currently no pain-free range of motion in the hamstring whatsoever. I’ve been keeping blood flowing by walking where I can and gonna get it checked out soon. Again thank all of you for the advice, it really helped! 😀

What’s the update on this? Have you had any scans or seen a physio?

Little bit easier said then done and especially considering most women have 0 idea how bad the male temper is for the male experiencing it! Not a dig by any means as theres is some obvioushome truths said in your comment but mines been bad all my life and it just isant as simple as taking accountability (unless you take accountability to get therapy) 😀

You need to take accountability for your actions and have some self discipline and control. This is your decision, so if your mood or actions are affecting others, then you need to change that.

I would reduce the test.

I meant, taking accountability for the decision you have made to take a substance that you know increases your temper. That’s a choice you’ve made.If you can’t control it, then my advice would be to reduce the dosage.

I’ve had a lovely rest day so far. I did a nice long (ish) run this morning in the sunshine, pottered around at home, had some lunch with my husband, and we’re going to go out to a street fair this afternoon.

If you’re considering adding HGH. I’d wait until the end of your cut, then add it in as you enter your next gaining phase.
