    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?

    Do you have an caffine or iron supps close to selenium window, could be timing that’s needs adjusting rather than straight away adding in T3 , how much selenium?

    I’ll allow you and Peter to discuss the rest as I know the questions were direct to him [/quote]
    Hi Meg. No I take them in the middle of the night away from everything when I go to the toilet.

    Thoughts are either end cycle, back to TRT.

    Drop primo , go to 300mg test e , and use aromasin to control e2.

    Carry on for 6/8 more weeks then drop to trt.

    Ideas?

    Nothing much to report from yesterday’s NTD. One thing I need to dial in is my ab training. Currently, I’m programmed to do abs every day, including my NTDs, however, I have been letting it slide admittedly. The fact I’m writing it in this blog to that I can get all those who read it to give me a level of accountability.

    Since 2018 I’ve managed to reign my waist in. I say 2018 because that was my first season as an open BB’r, and I pushed HARD between 2016-2017 to move up to open. I’m glad I did it, but I spent 18 months distended, not to mention I clearly had a tonne of inflammation from food that didn’t agree with me.

    What’s your ab routine that you should be doing daily mate?

    For my 2 working sets, i load the middle peg , then for the second set i split the load between middle and top peg, seems to be working well and I’ve progressed the reps in my 4 sessions I’ve done so far 🙂

    I usually take mine in the middle of the night when I go to the bathroom mate

    I know caffeine and other supplements can interfere with absorption so I do that to avoid any interference:)

    Really good physio session today, some new exercises to drive leg training forward and also the green light on SL stuff and increased loading. So we should see a nice return from this back in 4 weeks after Ive got skilled at the movements again
    Buzzing with today.
    Can feel a little cold coming on as Pheebs and Effie have both had one and Ive managed to miss it at the minute. So Im waiting for it to get me

    Saw you briefly in ultra mate , was gonna say hello but you looked deep into rehab work!

    Keep it up champ 💪🏾
