When I did powerlifting mate, we did a lot of work blocks starting off with things like 5×5 at 70 % of 1 rep max , and then something like 6×2 @ 85%. 2 sessions per week, then a lot of accessories to help.
It’s not ideal for overall physique progression , but if your goal is deadlifting it works and it works well.
Keep a close eye on recovery also as they really tax your CNS, so takes a while to be able to build up to the volume.
I managed 320kg @ 105kg BW , and took me a while to get there 🙂
Super fun , that’s for sure!

I’m not going to lie, I felt terrible not training over the weekend, and Monday. Last week I only trained push, pull and arms due to feeling close to a flu type situation.
However, I banged out a quality leg session today at Muscle Hut – and filmed it for the YT channel too.
Paused seated leg curls – 1 set, 8-12
Cybex incline leg press – 1 set, 8-12 > feet 5 inches apart, heel slightly of the bottom of the plate.
Gymleco hack squat – 1 set, 8-12 > 4s negatives
Pin-loaded leg extensions – 1 set, 12-15
Walking lunges – 1 set, around 30 reps per leg
Looking forward to watching mate, enjoying your content 🙂

If this works for you, then that’s great! I’m a very organised person too and like to pre-prepare things as much as I can and have a routine. It’s a real skill and takes practice to be able to react in the moment if that routine gets thrown off.. something I’m better at now, but still managing!
I’ve found myself the same, soon as something goes out of plan , I have to give my head a shake to get a grip lol!

Morning Kuba, or maybe evening in dubai , nts lol!
When your entering your health phase , what do you drop your cycle to? And do you do anything extra to speed up the recovery process to get your blood work to how you desire it to be?
My blood work never takes a hit, I post it all the time I do everything possible to keep it sweet so it’s never an issue I cruise between 400/600 mg
Peak stress my bloods are better than most peoples trt
1 – TBJP health supps i double up on love heart and care am and pm on cycle
2- don’t get fat and over eat
3- I don’t eat shit
4- glutathione iv & hyperbaric [/quote]
Thanks mate 🙂Can’t wait to see how your offseason unfolds 📈
-
Nobody ever gets big without pushing bud, push until progress stalls, blood work needs fixing or you get too fat
Yes sir!!
As I’ve said to you kuba, Thankyou aswell for all your help and replies you give me 🙂

Sounds like you have it sussed. No pain in the morning, straight into your daily tasks. Job is a good ‘un!
A winning effort begins with good preparation!

Does your morning routine work
For you ?
Yes or no ?
Yes bud, everything set up ready for me to roll out of bed , minimise time wasting and head straight out to the gym , then straight to work.
Also helps me sleep better knowing I’ve prepared everything ready for a fresh day 🙂

Adding on from your reply’s.. all health markers are in check , BP, bloods , feel good etc , only negative is HDL.
How important do we value HDL?
I wouldn’t disregard it but it’s very common to drop below the desired range. How low is it [/quote]
0.58 bud.[/quote]
unfortunately some people do take a bigger hit with HDL than others from AAS at any dose.
I would not want to see it here long term TBH but in a short term on cycle IMO its not a serious issue, As H says it is very common to see when people are on cycle.
I would however maybe want to try different cycle set ups to see if I could get it better when on cycle and look at my health supplements also.
what do you currently take [/quote]
All the TBJP health supps at the reccomend doses , I’ve just added in heart care as I wasn’t taking that one.
Upped my omegas to 10 caps a day from 6, and added in additional bergamot and krill oil.
A question for you hilly, when dropping back to 125mg a week test , how long would you expect for it to come back into a decent range?
Like you’ve seen from my bloods , everything else is in a pretty decent range still. [/quote]
All good moves n ones I would have made.
Usually 8 weeks [/quote]
Once again. Thanks hilly. I’ll report back end of November ish with a fresh set of bloods and hopefully some good progress to show for it! -

Things to look out for would be.. When digestion and appetite begin to take a hit, you feel sluggish, your body composition starts to look sloppy, progress stalls, health markers and/or cardio fitness are affected. Other than that, unless you have a planned time line of competitions ahead of you, if everything is still progressing well and you feel good, then there’s no reason why you can’t keep pushing a gaining phase.
You look in a great spot right now. I would add in tbjp Heart Care if you’re not already using that product.
Thanks for the reply Clare. Just added in, literally got all the JP supps in my arsenal now 🙂

HDL is defo taking a hit here.
Tbjp omega pro 8-9g per day
Tbjp heart card and love heart
E2 is a touch high n for you personally this is clearly to much. I would up your promo to 210mg per week.
T3 read is poor also. I would look to add in some selenium etc to try n improve this.
All else looks fine n those that are skewed are very likely skewed from training [/quote]Hi hilly.
I take 6 caps currently of omega pharma pro so can increase there.
I use love heart at reccomended dose. Will add in heart care.
I already take selium alongside my 100mg of t4 in the middle of the night
Anything else you would suggest?
With my test levels at 25NMOL ish my HDL sat at 0.9, so must be something that runs low for me.
So following on you would increase the primo as stated, and run for another 6 weeks before dropping back to TRT dose?
[/quote]I’d defo bump the primo then as suggest.
Bump omega.
Maybe try increasing selenium- double this but it may be this is all your going to get [/quote]
Okay mate. Thanks once again. Then would you recommend bloods after 6 weeks( when the cycle finishes) for future reference point?Then drop to trt for 8-12 weeks and see how I recover?
