What’s your current training split? I can see you do upper lower but is it 2 on 1 off? Or set days of the week? Thank you

So t3 is on its arse and arguably it would be a good move to add in T3, However firstly how is rate of loss? How do you feel etc?
when you say prep does this mean you are prepping for a show?
If rate of loss is in a good spot, you feel fine and all is good with lots of space to reduce food and up output then possibly there is no need to add in t3 and t4.
However if your feeling sluggish and need to increase rate of loss etc then adding these in now would have a very dramatic effect here. Just be careful it doesnt run you flat and effect things more so.
100mcg t4
25mcg t3
Will have a big impact – I would then recheck these numbers after 4 weeks and see were those doses put you. You could go in with t3 at 12.5mcg but if you dont know how you will respond to it you may end up only slightly better than you are now
Thank you sir!

Hi Nath
Are you currently training upper lower 4 times per week? Or is it upper lower 2 on 1 off repeat? Thanks!
-
Hello sir
In an upper/lower split, where someone’s lower body is ahead of their upper, would lowering volume on legs to say 1 working set per exercise to allow extra recovery for upper body sessions be an option? So basically lowering overall leg volume to be able to progress your upper sessions more even though you’re keeping upper sessions the same volume wise. Thank you!

Hello sir
In a dieting phase, does higher estrogen affect actual fat loss in itself? Or would it only affect the look in terms of higher E2 carrying more water etc? Thank you!

Hello sir
What’s your opinion on the resistance profile of the cybex eagle pin loaded chest press as a second pressing movement after for example a smith press or Hammer strength press? Thank you!
You tell me brother
How does it feel for you ? Are you able to progress it after the smith ? [/quote]The resistance profile feels pretty even throughout each rep
It’s a bit hit and miss in terms of progression tbh. I’m asking as I recall seeing people use it after their main pressing movement in the past, and in time the prime machines where you can adjust the profiles are now being used more and more especially as a second pressing movement after a smith or hammer strength press
Thank you sir [/quote]Even profile is fine just means you’ll need to rotate rep ranges
6-9’set 1 then 10-12 back off
This is where top set & back off set set up ( adjusting rep ranges comes into play perfectly ) [/quote]
Thank you sir -

Hi Kuba
Have you ever gone above 500mg Metformin per day? Or had clients do so? Do you believe there are any negatives to going above 500mg if you wanted optimal blood glucose control in an off season phase whilst running GH?
Thank you sir

Send us your full stack
Are you using t3/4 ?
Hi Kuba
Not using any T3 or T4. Never used thyroid medication before. Currently in a health phase running 300mg testosterone, 6iu GH and 750 SLU-PP-332

Hello sir hope you’re well. Are you familiar with the Hammer Strength pin loaded chest presses? I currently have the incline and the decline programmed in both my upper sessions and I find both relatively hard to progress. I’m not entirely sure of the resistance profile in terms of where to place both exercised. Are they something you place towards the beginning of your push sessions or are they better suited as the last pressing movement? Thank you sir!

Thank you everyone!

Hello sir, do you and Joe tend to leave food the same if body weight is increasing even if it is mainly being driven up by changes/increasing PEDs? Thank you!
-
Hello sir
What PEDs does Joe normally have you cruise on? I recall in the past you saying something like 300 test 300
Mast? Thank you!
A cruise for me is usually 300mg test per week and 200mg mast e per week
