Yes imo it would and can be a useful way of pushing the last 4 weeks of a growth phase of things are starting to slow

As long as orals don’t blunt your appetite etc

I would only use on training days 90-120 mins pre gym personally

Absolutely not as long as it doesn’t distract from sets.

Some may find this more productive than sitting super focused during rest.

In truth this is something very difficult for any of us to give you a clear answer.

With training I would aim to keep your volume at the minimum effective range – to aid with breathing capacity during the workouts.

Cardio – with just having the one lung you may simply not be able to improve the lung capacity much and I would speak to your specialist to see what is possible here based on your individual circumstance.

Some form of HIT cardio would be the usual recommendation but this may be a bad idea for yourself and I am in know way educated enough in this area to offer any specific advice just some thoughts.

I think managing your workout volume so you dont get gassed out is a better approach than trying to increase lung capacity when your already running just under 50%

Also keeping Any cardio away from training may be a better idea – you may be doing yourself more harm then good still taxing yourself PWO even with steady state

IMO based on rate of gain , pics here and the fact performance is flying I would keep on growing buddy.

You look great and are certainly not falling into a DAD body category at all.

Very well done ?

Thank you for the reply and advice, Hilly.

When increasing food, how much do you recommend each time (protein, carbs, fats)? [/quote]
for yourself small jumps of 2-300kcal and it would depend on what current macros are and what you respond best to based on history etc.

i always hold with clients for a couple of weeks when in am improvement phase if the scale doesn’t move.

Progression isn’t always linear and I see it over and over were clients may stall for 1-3 weeks at times and then see a jump again.

The other thing to consider is body comp. If a client is very lean then I may push sooner than some one that is not and hold out to see if a little recomp effect takes place over time.

Agree with the gentleman above –

Personally I would look to run

300mg test and 300mg primo the first 8 weeks

I would then do a swap for primo to NPP with potentially a little masteron in to control estrogen. You would get more muscle growth from this move overall if you get on with nandrolone fine in terms of estrogen and sides etc.

Very impressive physique – I have seen you training in UF durham – you have the ability to build a world class physique there is no doubt just do it right and look after your health as a top priority 🙂

Today is my high day and legs

All meals in no issues – 400g cooked jasmine per meal is a little bork after a while lol – I have switched one meal to potato today for air fryer chips

Legs – not including specific warm up sets – these all done pyramid up in weight

Extensions – 20/20/20/20/20
Seated ham curl with a 3 second negative and pause in full contraction – 12/10/7 with a drop set
Belt squat – 20/20/20/20
leg press with a 4 second negative and 3 second positive – 20/15/12
Lunges – 3 sets to failure
Seated ham curls with a 2 second hold in contraction – 10/10/10
1 leg ham curls – done with partials after each set – 10/9/8
Adductor – 20/20/18

Ruined after this but I am handling this session better each time – I still dread it TBH and its hard to motivate through but I took a little more rest this time – paused to chat a bit twice and it made a big difference. Think I have been trying to get through it to quick.

Steps 10k

What was there total argument?

Usually this side of the fence are saying stay away from working to complete failure so 1-3 RIR but do more working volume I believe

There is science to back up this can be just as effective

There are also many top BB that seemed to have trained close to failure but with more volume with great success.

So the thoughts from me would be this will work as will training to failure

Finding what works best for YOU and what you enjoy most is key imo

As above it depends on the massage.

Some good reasonable deep tissue on the area trained with improve blood flow to the area , reduce tightness and potentially increase recovery

What I class as sports massage / injury treatment were your looking to breakdown tension points , knots etc and is very hard I would definitely not do post workout on the same day at all
Or the day prior personally

Riz has pretty much nailed this.

I have been helping people through Ramadan for a long time and this approach seems to be the most successful.

The only issue with this is for a lot the feed times are a very food focused / social occasion for most and some struggled with avoiding carbs completely.

So we would bring in 1 carb feed at the end of the feeding window.

Just be super careful with hydration/ rehydration when looking to train. This imo is the main focus

Accutane works very well. However comes with some sides

Dry skin

Set joints / tendons

Liver stress

So blood work

Would be key

Also I would be running nothing but Trt while using this compound

Have you checked your hormones to see if there may be something out causing the issue

Yes My hormones are balanced and when it originally happened it was on my 2nd cycle, 500 test 400 mast. My e2 has always been in range when I tested it.

I was actually thinking of doing deca with my trt to somewhat counter the joint pain, obviously not enough to take an AI as that would be too much for my liver

Did you look at prolactin and progesterone?

[/quote]

Yes I did a whole panel and had a consultation with a coach to go over it and everything was good. I’ve always had mild acne in my forehead but never in my body[/quote]

This would tell me that you need to rethink your complete approach to steroids or if you should be using them at all as this is pretty bad if everything was on point while on cycle

Just my opinion tho – If it happens post accutane use you are likely always going to have an issue[/quote]

I did my bloodwork after the cycle that did mess up my acne, so it might’ve been the case my bloodwork wasn’t good. sorry if that wasn’t clear. everything I’ve done since I’ve kept estrogen and prolactin in check with constant bloodwork and consultations and I’ve avoided masteron which I think uniquely made my skin break out. Even though for the past 9 or so months I’ve had balanced hormones on every cycle and cruise I’ve done it hasn’t reverse the damage already made.

At this point I think isotretinoin would be my only option. Wondering mostly on the joint aspect from people who have gone through it. I’m a very low volume trainer, 5 sets of quads a week and really heavy and relatively low rep ranges 6-8 top set and 10-12 top set and wondering how guys trained while protecting themselves from injuries.

Ahh. That is different then.

I would go this route and then you need to micro manage your cycles moving forward to prevent this happening again imo

In this instance I would be utilising just an U/L
Split training 4 days a week

This also gives freedom of moving days if things come up

I use this a lot with those studying / working that have busy schedules that may need to change at times.

This is ample to make great progress and I use it with clients from beginners to advanced

Fully agree with kamara

IME most knee pain is simply from issues in the quads (knots etc) causing some form of tracking issue
