Friday – Cardio done – 25 minutes
Steps 10k

6 meals will go in –

BP reads – new cuff on and looked at how was fitting cuff on old machine – now getting reads of 130-140/74-85 – so all is good here and was just an issue it seems with how I was using machine/cuff and potentially stressing over it –

Will continue to track EOD

Trained back today – then did some posing work with a client down from Scotland.

Strength was so so today – Seemed a little weaker on some things which was strange after strength has been so good all week but I have felt pretty tired today – sleep however was best its been in a while at just under 7 hours usually I average 5.5 hours

Cable pull over -x 10, x 8, x 9F
chest supported row – x 8, x 8, x 6F, x 14F – strength was a little off here
1 arm machine PD – x 8, x 8, x 7F
Seated upper back row – x 8, x 8, x 6F, x 4F with a drop set – strength was good here
Seated V grip row – x 10, x 10, x 8F, x 15F

Little more work volume within sets and less overall sets.

Weight is coming down -Reckon ill be around 220lb 2moro –

Based on your TSH I would say the thyroid meds are not bunk and that you simply need need to increase the dose as you are getting a lower response or the drug maybe under dosed but I would be surprised if so. Usually if faked there is simply nothing in the drug when it comes to fake thyroid meds IME

Hello mate, better to do a soft surplus first

200/300kcal and assess after a week how is composition and weight. Then change the diet accordingly.

I would say half a year of bulk in general but can depend how much it goes; person dependant.

Then cut a little, then surplus, then cut etc

Fully agree here.
I would look to add in 300kcal daily.

If your doing cardio/steps tracked etc I would slowly taper these down over time not just stop.

then asses as you go and make changes based on response

there could be a number of factors that caused this but it sounds like the drugs were real not trash and your body simply didnt respond well to it.

I would first get your bloods done to asses were your hormones are naturally.

i would then use this information to asses were to start your dosing at – if I was being super careful based on the initial bad experience I would go with 125mg test split over 2 injections monday and thursday for example.

I wold hold here for 6 weeks and then retest bloods and see how your body has responded and how you feel and then make an educated guess on how best to move forward.

If you run into the same issues I would simply stop and not consider its use again

Hi mate

If I trained full body and woke up feeling fresh as a daisy, I’d be worried.

That’s why we don’t train consecutive days on that format, and please don’t expect to be constantly feeling totally fresh if you’re training hard. You’ll get to a point where performance plateaus as a result, and you will implement a deload or rest days.

Recover well today, go into your next session determined to progress, not “I wonder if I’m fully recovered”.

It’s supposed to be hard, we are forcing an adaptation.

With that said, if you’re completely poleaxed, revisit your programming and see how it can be tweaked.

Keep us posted mate

Could not agree more with this

Update and change in plans

BP being high is still an issue – bloods came. Back – E2 is fine and blood is were it always is so nothing at all makes sense here. Im seeing great readings sometimes and mad reads like 150/95-99 ad this just makes no sense. I wasn’t here when I was pushing to 248-250lb on all the drugs and food.

I just cant for the life of me make sense of it, spoke to my good friend Dave Crossland and he agrees it makes no sense which is very annoying – possible issue with arteries that may of developed but thats a very long shot. I have ordered a new bigger cuff for my BP monitor incase its something as silly as that.

Second and new issue – progesterone was super high at 11.4 – never have I seen it this high or have I seen any one else this high which is very strange and a little worrying -again Dave doesnt see a major worry as it makes no sense but it obviously needs investigating and rectifying.

it would explain the Ed issue that I have had ongoing for a while and also the extreme lethargy I get every so often tho that is for sure.

So plan of attack – cut this cycle and growth phase at 4 weeks – annoying but that is life. Pull down to a cruise dose were I know I ave seen everything great – it has been a while since ive tested progesterone to be honest.

Pull weight down to a lean base and see if I can get everything back in order and figure out what has been the issues – its this fault finding stuff I truly enjoy to be honest but it really does annoy me when it makes no sense to me lol.

So I will be running.
150mg TEst E
100mg mast e
T4 – 100mcg
SLU. – 300mcg on wake pre cardio

Winni is going in for 4-6 weeks at 20mg daily as this is known to reduce progesterone so see if this helps in the short term and then I will be keeping a close eye on it from now on.

Diet adjusted to move to a deficit – Training and cardio stays as is. I have been eating alot of food lately with the scale barely budging so I reckon I will get lean pretty dam quick and then just hold there –

bloods to be redone in 8 weeks –

What’s your macro break down & what’s your diet ?

This could be number of factors, fatigue, stress, poor sleep, nutrition and mindset

4015 kcals, 502g carbs, 295g protein, 80g fat.

Meal 1: oats, whey, blueberries, almond butter, 2 whole eggs

Meal 2: chicken, broccoli and pasta

Meal 3 pre workout: oats, whey, blueberries and dark chocolate

Meal 4 post: cor, whey and blueberries

Meal 5: chicken, pasta and broccoli

I’m fasting the first 2,5 hour, only drinking 0,5l water with 2g salt. Taking unwind after training also taking 6 caps omega 3, some d3/k2, curcumine and some magnesium. Could something in my diet affect my sex drive? Something I eat to much off or so?[/quote]

your food is still very high so its defo not this and Its very unlikely to be food related.

You need your bloods doing and hormones checking [/quote]

Could it not be something with salt intake or variation in food? Right now i eat the same everyday of the week besides one free meal on Saturday. I don’t know if it have something to do with it but for a time ago I ate minced meat and I know it sounds weird but after that meal I always felt like my libido were up. But that was a time ago and maybe just an coincidence and it was maybe something else[/quote]
I would highly doubt it but its a possibility – just unlikely

Allison is very correct there also – water is way to high for me and remove the fizzy drinks
