sounds more like fatigue mate, id introduce a deload to get fresh again

[Darren Farrell]

Back in for chest today, had a really good session however did struggle on prime incline press just to match last weeks numbers, I did train with someone today and I put it down to not resting sufficiently.
Otherwise session felt really good. Appetite is through the roof today, I feel like I’m on prep!!!

[Darren Farrell]

Rest day today
Was really feeling quite fatigued so slept in a little longer than usual. Did my cardio and remained fasted until 12:30
Spent most of the day at my laptop working so scheduled in a few small walks around my park.
Decided to run a lower food day today as didn’t feel hungry.

200p
150c
70f

This is something I do on rest days from time to time just to allow my digestion a break.

[Darren Farrell]

I’d go with 1/2 caber every 3 days initially

No doubts your stuff is fake

Jordan let’s say my gear wasn’t fake, since I know so many people using the same gear ordered at the same time as me and their bloods show low LH and sky high test, and I’ve used three vials the likely hood of the three of them being fake is insanely low tbh, is there any explanation why my bloods would be like that? My body cannot absorb testosterone? Or all of it is getting converted to DHT or something?[/quote]
To be sure check your batch numbers are the same as theirs? Do they have blood work to show that what they are using is in fact legit?

Oestradiol & prolactin are the main issue here, need to get those under control.

Quick off season update- woke up today at 247.6lbs, surprised to see weight up as I feel tighter.
Started back on cycle this week so I expect to see body composition improve further these next few weeks as I won’t be increasing food.
Main focus at the moment is to increase my leg strength again as it’s the one body part that I still feel quite weak on, everything else is at peak strength.
I may look at implementing higher calories around my leg sessions in the coming weeks.

[Darren Farrell]

exactly what the guys above have stated- in short get strong and progress across all rep ranges.

i generally set my sessions up as follows

2 exercises compound focusing on anywhere from 6-10 top and then a back off or extender

2-3 exercises that are in the 8-15 rep range generally 2-3 sets

1 or 2 exercises 15-50 rep range using rest pause, drop set etc

in all i am aiming to progress reps and or weight weekly

[Darren Farrell]

yes literally just get the quickest and cheapest one you can. you will learn far more on here in terms of knowledge you can the apply.

[Darren Farrell]

exactly what you should be doing, we are all built differently and you dont get extra points for how low you can go- the goal is to take your muscle through its active range of motion and this goes for all exercises- you must set it up to match your range of motion

[Darren Farrell]

im going to echo meg here as most of the time lagging shoulder comes down to execution of the movement- pressing incorporating too much chest, poor tempo and or depths. lateral movements involving too much traps etc. really break down your form and then progress with perfect execution.

you could also look at adding more frequency potentially like delt accessory with legs.

[Darren Farrell]

All of the hard work is paying off mate, so excited to follow along on here and see you step on stage at the O!

thanks mate,really appreciate it. hope everything is good with you

[Darren Farrell]

Delts today
Third week on the trot hitting 5 plates a side on the prime shoulder press. Going to give it 1 more week and if no progress I will adjust the set up by putting the 5th plate on the top loading point so that there is a slight drop off in resistance where I’m typically failing.
Session went as follows

Standing lateral machine- 1 work set
Prime shoulder press – 1 top set, 2 back off
Db shoulder press – 2 sets 8-12
Machine shoulder press- 2 sets 15-20
Reverse pec Dec – 2 sets 15-20
Incline cuff lateral – 1 rest pause set to 60

[Darren Farrell]

How quickly have you ramped up food? Might just be a case of too much too quickly.
You can improve and add muscle without food being so uncomfortably high, get food to a point where performance is good and as long as training performance is progressing then you are going to be adding muscle despite scale weight not increasing- analyze body composition and training performance as simply moving the scales up doesn’t necessarily mean muscle

[Darren Farrell]

Back today and second day on increlex- definitely feeling quite full and crazy pumps in training.
Really good session today with pretty much all numbers moving forward.

I haven’t been checking weight this week, but will do a full check in on Saturday. I expect weight will be around 245lbs
