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?

Darren

[Darren]

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

Darren

[Darren]

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

Darren

[Darren]

At low frequency, no . I guess your training bodyparts once a week ?

Spilt it

Back & bi’s
Chest and delts
Rest
Legs
Delts
Chest and tri’s
Rest

Darren

[Darren]

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?

Darren

[Darren]

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

[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

Darren

[Darren]

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

Hello mate, I train early mornings aswell, up at 3am and in the gym by 4.

I have an intra workout shake containing 40g serving of wpi and 50-100g cyclic dextrin (depending on if in a surplus or deficit). I start drinking as I walk into the gym and aim to finish on my last set. Then I get my first meal in about an hour later. I find this to work for me.

Post workout meal is about an hour later.

I would do this

20g MPs

50g Performance fuel

20g honey

5g glutamine & creatine

1L water upon wake

Then

Mix

Mps again 20-60 performance fuel intra depending on your calorie needs intra again creatine & glutamine

Wake up 30 min earlier so you have an hour to let the first shake digest and you can actually hydrate [/quote]
Wondered what your feedback was to this mate…

I tried this this morning but felt it sat worse on my stomach than a cereal & whey breakfast and just smashing an early gym session 30 minutes later.

I think it was the intra workout drink that felt more uncomfortable when training more than the pre workout shake.

Thanks mate, I’m not in UK so what is the technical name of MPS & performance fuel that I could be looking in to?
