I have built my own rotations. Haven’t seen JP build a plan for us on here (probably because he charges for personalised training plans).

But his guide of how to setup your training gives you plenty of exercise options to be able to plan them out yourself.

I personally can’t do them and struggle to do seated vertical presses. Feel it may be due to some damage done from doing close-grip upright rows in my early days

Ok lads, good to know personal experiences. I’m thinking of giving Deca a go in my next cycle. Not ready for the frequent injections just yet and can deal with a little added water.

[Dean Harvey]

Yeah Dean, I get that now. At the time I was hoping for an oil with an injection frequency of 1ml per week but with a good amount within that. Learnt from my mistake, split the dose for any cycle above 250-300mg of injectable compound. Try to educate others around me who are thinking along the same lines I once was too

Louis, do you find a difference between NPP and Deca for water retention? I was under the impression that the only difference was the Ester weight, so the action of the compound will be the same (and so will the water retention)?

I had horrific PIP from some Onyx Labs Superbulk that was supposed to be 600mg Testosterone (split into 3 different esters). I truly believe that if the gear is too highly dosed, you’re asking for trouble. I’m sure JP recommends not going for anything over 300mg/ml.

I have had PIP off of the odd poor injection practice too, but that was mild compared to 5 weeks of this overdosed gear. Obviously, unsterile oils will pose a problem too as Dean said, but I’ve not had that issue (touch wood)

Hey Dean, just checking if you have any suggestions to improve gut/digestion issues or my potential adrenal insufficiency? I’m willing to try anything to help with this as I know my workouts could be better powered if they’re fueled with Carbs.

I’ve ran a few searches for digestion aids now since your reply and all I get are probiotic stacks, am I on the right lines? Do you have any recommendations if so?

[Dean Harvey]

No Dean, I’m unfocused during my workout whenever I ingest carbs close-to/during my workout. I don’t mind having food on my stomach when I train as I never feel ill off of it (I always have at least some form of solid protein before I train, usually tuna and some greek yoghurt). I just find my head not being clear if I’ve had any form of carbs.

[Dean Harvey]

Dean, what would you suggest to help address this issue? Brain fog is all i get, I don’t feel bloated or ill whilst training, I’m just not focused as much as when I have an empty stomach

[Dean Harvey]

Yeah, that’s what I’ve said Christoph, it just doesn’t work for me whether its maltodextrin, dextrose, waxy maize, karbolyn or a mid-workout snack such as a protein bar/cereal bar/banana. Just fogs my brain up. Therefore I’m missing out on those extra carbs around my workout.

My typical post workout can be either potatoes with 200g raw meat/tinned tuna or oats with protein shake and then i’ll add in rice krispie squares, pop tarts bagels etc before bed. I’m also taking ALA immediately post workout to help with the extra carbs in the pwo meal.

I’ll try splitting my carbs through the day as I have a fairly active job on construction sites and can track my NEAT levels. Steps are usually around the 10-11000 mark everyday, so my metabolism should be ok with it. Just trying to follow JP’s advice best I can but my adherence is slipping due to the amount of carbs I have leftover post workout and the timing of when i get in from my workout.

A friend of mine has recently had a fair few sessions of dry needling done and I remember him describing it to me. Sounds torturous!

I’ve been thinking about this lately. Even though natural test is shut down when on cycle, because you’re using exogenous test, does that not still allow your swimmers to swim?

Does fertility issues not go hand-in-hand with low testosterone, which could be the case with a damaged HPTA-axis through abusing steroids and then coming off altogether (which you wouldn’t do by blasting & cruising)?

Thanks for the responses guys. For some reason I received no notification although subbed to updates obvs (will resolve later).

Yes, my food is pretty much bang on everyday and my lifts are progressing but I’m not seeing much difference in terms of size. I’m currently cycling cals based on activity output (measured via fitbit). I’ll increase food and switch over to the Upper/Lower routine next week.

Not sure if its just the fact I’ve followed the Full Body for that long that I’m personally getting bored. Going to take some photos this weekend to see if there is any difference in shape/size
