MemberJuly 22, 2025 at 9:39 am in reply to: Advice with programming the below situation pleaseThanks Clare, really appreciate that. I could really do with Legs being Tuesday. Any advice on volume for each body part on these days if I was to go with your advice?

Really, I’m surprised 10 daily but then there’s my knowledge! I was working it out at 0.3 so a tiny bit every day. Thanks Kuba

Nah that’s a good beginner cycle my man – reiterate the point on frequent injections – even if you don’t like doing it. You’ll get way less sides.
What sides would you expect from pinning .7ml twice per week mate?

250mg per week first cycle sounds great to me.
I would split it Monday/Wed/Fri tho not twice a week.
I would get bloods done at week 6 to see were your hormones are etc to asses your individual response and that the Drug your using is dosed properly
Thanks for for your reply. Not first cycle but have been on TRT for a year for fertility purposes (successfully thanking the lord for HMG). Was just thinking of doubling up on Test E

No, if it’s your first time I would likely start with 200 mg – split your shots to 5 x per week micro dose daily or as close to as possible. You will notice you get far less sides in doing so

Hi mate,
I echo Jord’s comments here.
You will see most of us choose a training style quite different to the one you have outlined.
All of us take training quite seriously, so that probably indicates that we don’t see your proposed method as the best way to an outcome.
You then need to weigh up what is most important to you, outcome or enjoyment.
There isn’t a right answer to that, it’s up to you.
If it’s the latter, and this is your preferred training style, get stuck in.
Hi mate, appreciate your reply. Well I want to enjoy my training but I’m in it for the outcome too, I want to change and grow, I take my food seriously. I push to failure every set. Therefore I was just looking for an insight as to why i was possibly programmed extremely high volume

Ok thanks for your reply and insight, I’ll continue with what I enjoy

Hello mate
I wouldn’t doubt of my coach if he got results and if you like how you train now, do it.
When you start doubting of your coach and looking what’s around; that’s when the things become complicated. For you.
I have done tons of high volume for a long long time, and it’s served the purpose at that time.
Facts : for a long time I wasn’t able to put enough intensity for a lower range of reps with a correct form, even being an advanced lifter.
Needed first to bring up the reps or weights to become stronger.
Now after 9 years of workout I cannot handle anymore high volume, recovery is poor, cause my notion of intensity is very different than before
Hi Allison, appreciate your response. I’m honestly not doubting the coach as they get results and changed adding a little tissue for me relatively quick. My question was experts opinions on here with such high volume on everything, that’s was what I meant by my post

At low frequency, no . I guess your training bodyparts once a week ?
Spilt it
Back & bi’s
Chest and delts
Rest

Delts

We all roughly train the same on here , we do moderate volume , we do mostly moderate frequency and we try to make everything pretty easy to monitor and let our lift progressions dictate if our programming is correct , as they will be showing us if we are adapting and recovering .
So now it just comes down to your preferences and doing what you enjoy
Thanks JP. Is there not a chance of overtraining with to much volume that will hinder muscle growth?

You have a couple options
A bigger meal the night before, wake have shake with small amount of carbs, start sipping intra that has carbs in 15 mins before
Or just eat normal pre meal 45 mins / an hour before. I find when I train first thing I don’t need to wait as long before I train as my first meal usually digests best
Thanks Meg, very helpful
Darren

Good meal the night before that doesn’t negatively impact sleep. Quick digesting form of nutrition in the morning upon waking can be cream of rice/whey/banana, or as simple as carb supplement and aminos
Either way I would also have intra carbs and aminos during training
And then solid meal post training
Thank you

Hello mate fully agree with the others
1/ carbs heavy pre-bed meal the day before
2/ make sure you hydrate yourself enough upon wake
3/ pre: MPS, performance fuel, honey, glutamin, creatine
4/ Intra: same than pre wo without honey
5/ make sure you consume a bit of salt also
Now for MPS tbjp and performance fuel tbjp, u have many websites which are resaler of the tbjp products / depending on your location but they send to all europe
You got some in norway and also in france
Thank you
Darren
