3 aromasin per week for 300mg test seems excessive considering masteron doesn’t aromatise. Are you prone to side effects of testosterone? Have you had problems with previous cycles or is this your first?

My diet for the past 12-15 months has been abysmal. My training and the gear have done wonders for maintaining a decent enough physique, but I really wanna get back to a good consistent approach with my diet.

My problem now is that any protein I cook for meal prepping is always dry when reheated and uncle ben’s micro rice just isn’t easy to… Read more

Amazed at that tbh. Just because I swab every single time I guess. I thought that would just be standard practice. I even swab after I’ve showered haha

Appreciate the responses. Some good ideas to test out here and see how i respond

I currently have a heavy preworkout & always a carb/protein intra. So that could be a good option. I used to wake up and have a steak at like 4.30am but the stomach issues were not worth it at all!

I’ll give that a try and see how it goes. How late is your final meal? Is it pre-bed or a certain time before for digestion & sleep?

It has but that is in relation to fat loss. I should have said that I’m aiming to gain some mass. Currently at 15st 8lbs, have been since Jan 2020 although my body composition has changed massively since then:

• Started jan 2020 thick & dense
• Lockdown 1 came and no training or diet control resulted in lost mass and gained fat but no… Read more

This has probably been asked before (likely by myself as well haha) but if I’m training at 6am, my first meal would be my preworkout meal. However, waking up at 3.30am to eat a carb heavy meal just is not an option.

So would a liquid meal at 5am suffice? Something like a carb powder with whey hydrolysate? Or would skipping that first meal, and… Read more

Wow, they never even used a swab?! Serious bad practice by them! Especially as they’re trained individuals ffs

Yeah, just checking online and seems I’ll have to go for specialist cover. I’m lucky my job pays extremely well as it’ll probably come back at £200 a month compared to my partner’s at £36 a month!

Never mind, hopefully this is a warning to anyone thinking of getting a blood test via the NHS like I did 😂 Never again! Always private! My medical… Read more

It’s part of my contract for my mortgage I think to have life & critical illness cover so the mortgage is covered in the event of my death or if I’m unable to work due to critical illness. Waiting another 7 years isn’t really an option haha

I always aspirate, just a quick check to see if you’re in the muscle or a vein. Don’t know why that would cause a bruise? A bruise is dead blood cells, so maybes you clipped/nipped a vein and it bled under the skin causing the bruise. I doubt it will be from aspirating

Ah, I outlined what I was currently taking (I think it was just 500mg test e/wk at the time). I think I’m gonna have to declare that I take them and just take the hit with the premium tbh. I’d just like to know who insures pro bodybuilders who obviously put their bodies through a lot of abuse.

I’m wondering what others have done in regards to Life Insurance & Critical Illness cover for a Mortgage on a property? Recently moved into my first home with my partner and have been trying to get insured for 2 months.

Unfortunately, I was stupid enough back in 2018 to go to my doctor’s for bloods to instead of going private through… Read more

Meat must be cooked weight because raw weight would be far too low to hit that protein macro target

Yeah, I’d read it had bad bioavailability when taken orally after a friend was sold some by the local supp store in a bid to shift some weight. I had to look it up for him as I knew he’d been ripped off.

Perfect, thanks for the dosages & timings Hilly. Looking into my own fertility now as the missus is coming off contraception in 3 months, so… Read more

Hilly, how do you take L-Carnitine? Is it injected or the oral supplement? At what dose would you suggest for this?
