I would consider running some lantus to take some strain of the pancreas, I have changed my view on fast slin I see it just cause insulin resistance fast
Long not so much
10 iu lantus with m1 does plenty
Just on training days? Rest days I pull down carbs to almost none and replace with fats. Also if implementing lantus any lab markers I should specifically pull in say 8 weeks beyond fasting insulin and blood glucose? How does interpreting fasting insulin in relation to blood glucose change when using a long acting insulin? [/quote]
I agree with Kuba – i would start with 10iu lantus with meal 1.
If you go almost 0 carbs or 0 carbs on rest days then surely you know Insulin would be a bad idea here? Defo none on Rest days.
No different markers to check I.E bloods. [/quote]
Thank you Hilly, yes no insulin with 0 carbs just was asking to see maybe if you’d advise a different rest day nutrition approach where insulin could be used but imo I believe that maybe the 0 carb rest days could be even more beneficial when running a lantus to give my body a break from constant insulin receptor signaling. [/quote]
I would defo agree the 0 carb days will be helping keep insulin sensitivity goodHowever I also don’t think 0 carb days have a true place unless at the end of a dieting phase in general.
50% lower would be my max , maybe timing carbs specifically in the day so none in first and last meal.
I think if performance/ muscle growth etc are primary goals then this isn’t the best / optimal way to go having 0 carbs for 99% of people.
However as with everything in this game – if it’s working n working well and you feel great then don’t change a thing and get that lantus in on training days

It looks like you’re doing everything right mate.
If training performance is holding or getting better and you feel recovery is good then leave protein as it is.
When rate of loss slows add some direct cardio and then taper steps up before you drop food.
Stay locked in and have fun.

Thursday- Weight dropped hard. 213lb
Running a medium day today as its rest day.
Simply adding 75g carbs to first and last meal
I’ll then load up harder 2moro for training

I fully agree with the above. Training 6 days on the bounce will run you into issues ASAP unless your not pushing training sessions hard at all and then that will prevent you from making progress full stop.

If you aren’t making progress that you would like to , would you not be better doing a simple FBEOD ? Surely at 17 it’d allow you the frequency you need to progress and develop without doing tones of volume , and you can do 3 or 4 days and still be a typical 17 year old doing stuff with your mates ?
Fully agree with oscar here.
I do not like this anterior/posterior set up at all

Klow – mix with 3ml Bac and shoot 10iu daily
Mots C – mix with 1ml Bac and each 10iu gives you 1mg dosing. I would start his pre workout only
Reta – mix with 1ml Bac and each 10iu gives you 1mg dosing. I would start at 5iu twice a week so 500mcg twice a week. 1mg total weekly and go from thereInstagram name - Hillydoc. Www.physique-enhancement.co.uk | tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Im with the girls and guys above, I dont like it as I find for most what follows a rapid fat loss phase is a rapid gaining phase and lots of issues especially for those not mentally trained to follow a plan and last it out.

In general I do like people to hold at the end of a growth phase but more so if its a new all time high weight and we’ve pushed quite hard simply so the body can adjust and adapt to this new weight before coming back down.
it also depends how the previous 4-8 weeks has gone. If for example your peak weight was 225lb on this push and the last 4 weeks you have been holding around 222-226lb moving up and down then I would say you have already been running through a holding period and would have no issues coming down sooner especially if you have been here before.
If I have a client that has just maxed out at 250lb and its been a slog to get there I would want us to try and hold this for a period of time

Wednesday – Rest day today
Steps – 12k
just 4 meals in today. Busy day overall and timed my meals wrong.Worked 5:30 till 7:30 when Arilena woke and then was with her until school drop off at 12:15. I then have worked from 1pm getting home until 9:30 tonight. So a great day of work and catching up but due to being to focused on work and potentially Reta reducing hunger a little I am behind with meals.
Reta dose has increased this week – last week was 3 x 250mcg. This week is going to be 4 x 250mcg so I did jabs Monday/tuesday instead of just the one Monday and then Wednesday.

Hello bud – so firstly it looks like you have done your home work and got more or less everything covered.
Based on bloods it doesnt seem you aromatise alot naturally so you may find you dont need any Adex at all. I would not have this in from the start and get bloods done at week 6 as planned to asses things from there and make a decision.
PCT – blood work after the HCG use can be useful to make sure LH and FSH has come up but in all honesty I have had so many clients run through this process successfully and barely any did this. For me bloods 2-3 weeks post stopping clomid etc are the key ones and as this is your first cycle I would imagine you will bounce back just fine. However again they do provide more information and a better insight so not wasted if you want to get them done

I would speak to your doctor as that tsh is very high and could indicate early signs of an issue to come.

Technically more sleep is always better as a lot of our recovery n growing is done while we sleep.
However I also feel fine on 5.5-6 hours n actually feel worse if I sleep for 8 hours.
It’s very individual
Do you take anything to help with sleep

This will work for sure but I can think of a better make up nutritionally.
Oat flour/rice flour based on digestion
macadamia/avocado oil
Honey
banana/dates
Protein powder
water or milk based on dietary requirements and how many cals you want.
Salt
Can you give me some amounts on these please, I’ll ideally like the most calories possible, a good amount of protein 30+g and 40-60g carb atleast [/quote]
If you’d like the most amount of calories then use a higher amount of ingredients.How much depends on how much you need based on requirements/ goals / digestion
