Got it! Also, when is a good time leading up to show to pull any drugs, if necessary?

With the drugs you are using there is no need imo

I would stop jabs 3-5 days based on how they are sitting

Granted this is all very Basic. It’s impossible for any one to truly predict what you may need to do now for 18 weeks time.

Lots can change over a prep period

Also an additional point

If It’s inflammation related then any one from cyclists etc to BB would experience the same thing surely

Just because a top level cyclist will burn it off n maintain insulin sensitivity doesn’t mean they wouldn’t experience the same gastric stress or inflammation any one else would surely ?

Sweets won’t do a thing here , I know a lot of ridiculously athletic guys that live on Haribo.

Obv it goes without saying that it’s better to eat healthy . But a bag of sweets isn’t making your knee sore lol

You know as well as anyone that the recovery demands from weight training are different from typical athletic training (I’m assuming by athletic guys you don’t mean bodybuilders, correct me if wrong). Our modality of training is designed to put as much load/tension/stress through localised areas of muscle tissue. The localised swelling and inflammation is typically much greater.

We know that excessive sugar intake in uric acid, crp, Nf-kB and other markers related to inflammation/insulin resistance.

Athlete often benefit from haribo as the energetic demands of their training require large amounts of carbohydrates. This is why Tour De France are renowned for having a tremendous intake of simple sugars/processed foods, whilst also remaining as some of the most insulin sensitive individuals on the planet! (Check out Peter Attia’s two part interview with Inigo San Millan if interested in this).

On the other hand, bodybuilders typically overconsume carbohydrates as a way to deliberately increase body mass. Of course our training requires carbohydrates for optimal performance, but not all that many. This is where the downsides of simple sugars occur and negatively influence things like insulin resistance and inflammation levels etc. These problems do not occur when in a fat loss phase. However, I am confident it is a different story when in a >500 caloric surplus for >20 weeks as part of an off season. Couple this with AAS use and vast, continuous increases in strength, placing greater demands locally on joints/muscles as well as global stress throughout the body.

In the above scenario it seems very plausible that things like sweets could contribute to injuries. Of course, a bag of skittles is probably not going to tear a quad off the bone. I would argue that when eaten regularly, they could certainly contribute to the development of more chronic injuries like various tendinopathies. Regarding my achilles and knee, these are old injuries that have not bothered me in years. I just found it interesting that today I woke up and they were both nagging at me.

None of this applicable to the likes of Kuba or Jordan who are very articulate with all of their variables. My post was more to see what kind of discussion it would ignite and was aimed more towards those who train regularly, take anabolics, eat bodybuilding meals most of the time but could not tell you their actual caloric intake, and enjoy a takeaway and beers most weekends. These are the people who I think often do themselves an injustice by using highly processed foods in a post workout setting to try and get big and should be aware of the potential downsides.

I would disagree with this.

I can’t see a bag of skittles causing any one an injury

Wether they are a bodybuilder using AAS, natural or a figure skater

Over consumption of highly processed foods over time may lead to digestive stress which could lead to inflammation and thus reduce reduce recovery over time

However I think the chances of that happening in any one is slim to none and it’s simply reading to much science n not thinking logically

I would imagine In Your OP there is little relevance but we could theorise the bag of sugar has caused an insulin spike which could of thrown some electrolyte balance off.

However you simply could have done something the day before that you didn’t realise

Or as Kuba stated it may of effected sleep

If this was likely every normal
Person that visited the cinema would be reporting issues the following day after pick n mix n popcorn

@Hilly ? Old topic but very interisting any opinion or recommendation ?

its certainly possible there could be.

However I am not sure if there would be any medical literature looking at this so it would all just be guessing/theory

Fully agree with Kuba here

Thanks Hilly, I just assumed as diet hadn’t changed it would be due to the TRT, but what Kuba said makes sense so I have will sort out my diet [/quote]
As Kuba explained.

The Trt is increasing your bodies ability to use the nutrients as well as your ability to train harder and thus burn through more calories potentially which all could be leading to this issue if nutrition isn’t on point.

Imo it may very well still be worth while getting a coach.

Potentially even more so for yourself as your not 100% all of the time so you need to be really maximising the time when you are.

Finding a coach that wants to work

With you around your social life n career will be key.

Some are only interested in working with clients that are 100% into this so finding some one suitable would be key

Appreciate the insight, thank you! Do I basically just DM coaches I want to work with and see their pricing? Not sure how the process works[/quote]
I would check some ones insta/Facebook – look at clients they may of reposted results with that are around your level/look or showing the progress you would like.

See the information they post etc and then reach out if you are interested.

Its important to express what you are looking for and how you want to work and if that fits them.

I always express to new clients thats important for them to ask me as much as possible so they no they are as much of a fit for myself as I am for them etc.

Some coaches will simply not want to work with people who want more freedom, other coaches will not want to work with people who compete etc etc

for a natural fat consumption is important for hormonal function so you dont want to drive fats as low as those who are assisted for sure.

I would be trying to keep them around 20% as Clare states

Wow this is a confusing way to try and look at things.

For a natural athlete i feel around 1lb a week is a safe rate of loss.

for assisted ideally 1-2lb a week would be perfect.

keep going until your as lean as you want to be.

Its that simple for me

Daily dosing would for sure keep levels more stable – However at this dose I doubt it would be needed unless one is super estrogen sensitive.

If you dont mind pinning Ed then go ahead for sure but most get bored of this quick and I feel its a bit much for a first cycle IME with clients.

personally I would be recommending Test E 100mg MWF or EOD

there is no correct answer here TBH.

I personally see no need to run tren for 20 weeks and I also see no need to run a cutting cycle for 20 weeks, No one should need 20 weeks to simply cut.

I would favour having the cycle split into 2 phases – a cut and then a controlled rebound growth phase and use the tren just during the cut focused phase.

All of the above you mention with raise e2

it just comes down to individual preference.

I wouldn’t opt for Dbol.

I would be either upping the test or adding in NPP depending on body comp, goal and previous experience with these compounds
