Thanks all for the comments really read to hit this and grow !

in terms of calories should I use the calories set by this app it’s around 3k on lifting days and 2800 on rest days?

At the minute I count calories but eat carbs and fats in all my meals should i change it up as per the nutrition guidelines and separate fat and carbs from meals (still try to grasp this concept but to my understanding is so one source is not used for fat storage) I’m comfortable with walking 10k steps a day so will continue that on rest days

That’s certainly a place to start.

You just need to start some were n then adjust based on feedback

Wether you decide to time carbs etc is up to you bud

Need to do some reading n see how you want to approach it based on body type / lifestyle n history etc

@Hilly I’ve only taken readings in the morning up on waking …. this morning when I woke up face was flushed but bp was ok ?

Honestly there are a few things this could be but I’m not a doctor n don’t want to just chuck random possibilities at you

I would book full blood work

Get to the doctor n discuss [/quote]

Private doctors ? What would I be looking for once blood work is back ? Possibly high e2 ?[/quote]
Your doctor or any doctor

Liver / kidney / heart health

As above blood work will tell you. We can’t.

However i would switch from the support max to TrainedByJP vital support.

I’ve now seen 4 clients blood work improve a lot since doing so.

Mainly however it’s genetic tbh.

Some will be fine.

Some will not.

I reckon my blood work personally would be ok doing this.

I have some clients that would defo not be.

I would run tests every 3-4 months n monitor – adjust if needed etc

I would split the dose mon / thurs if not doing so already

I would add in 400mg vitamin b6

Monitor sides.

I would also add in 20mg Nolvadex

Retest in 5-6 weeks n monitor symptoms

I feel upper / lower initially would be best

With a rotation to ppl as you progress and food / strength peaks

Back to U/L for any tidy up phases maybe.

Base this all on progress / recovery

You look great bud.

Get growing ?

I adjust my ab training.

In the off season I only do body weight stuff and vacuums.

I have always had decent sized abs and would not want them any bigger / thicker as feel it would not add to my look.

During prep I may add a little weight as body weight decreases to keep
Up intensity but not much

There is a few ways to look at this.

From a scientific aspect – increasing your volume over time within what you can progress from is the best way to add muscle.

Jordan / Dante / Dorian have more or less built the biggest bodybuilders going against this

What is completely agreed on is overload, progression and intensity are the ultimate key

As is recovery and food.

What I feel is best once all variables are covered is what you enjoy the most. As if you enjoy training you will train harder than ever and drive intensity through the roof.

So if you enjoy a lower volume approach then do this. If you enjoy more working sets do this

Do both n see what works best is my best answer

In terms of progress – small sensible weight increases. The hormones will allow you to make big jumps and this is a sure fire way to tendon issues

Imo it’s defo not the creatine but simply dropping it would let you know.

Did the doctor do a full in-depth blood panel to counter any issues raised with medi check ?

The issue with the medichecks was the egfr , I dont know exactly what the result was from doctors but they said it all came back normal [/quote]

You will actually find a lot struggle more so working from home strangely due to lack of schedule etc.

For me it’s always been about how best to prepare your food in advance n what works best for you.

This is why I use cooked weights with clients.

Rule of thumbs

Never just cook one meal

Always have back up meals

Prepare in bulk

Choose foods you like n fit your budget.

My meals are as follows

Eggs / salmon / rice or cream of rice – salmon I buy cooked – rice I cook in bulk. COR n micro job

Meals 2/3/4 – chicken or Turkey or white fish with rice – both cooked in bulk or can be bought cooked / I’m to rice

Salad or micro veg

Oil / nut butters

Then a shake pwo n shake or yogurt pre bed.

I have clients that work away / off shore in oil rigs etc n all manage

It’s all about proper planning and Time management

Hi danny.

You have not told us the aim of adding the drug.

If it’s purely muscle and your BP etc is all good. Then deca would be good. It’s also going to aid in a little lubricant for joints that may help training to.

Many men your age favour deca for this.

If your just doing this to add a little muscle , perform a touch better in gym n look gd for summer then I would go primo.

Remember drugs have individual uses so you need to look at your goal – your requirements and then pick.

Most of my clients in your age group I would be choosing primo

Bar the competing guys I have n were using deca in there off season for both reasons stated

Hi Hilly,

Really appreciate the reply.

Prior to trt and finding out my test was in the gutter (around 4 years ago) I was at my heaviest of 17st 2 lb. I’d spent the previous couple of years following the sheiko program for powerlifting. After tons of low bar squatting and flat benching at high frequency it’s safe to say I have my niggles!!

Since starting trt I’ve dropped 4” from my waist and made more progress physique wise than the 10 years previous. I just feel like I’ve wasted SO much time!

I’m now training the full body routine outlined by Jordan (no low bar squats or flat bench!) and I’m loving training again.

I’m thinking the deca would be good for the niggles and I know I’ve got a good quality source for it.

I’m looking purely to add muscle and get after it in the gym.

Should the test always be a higher dose than the deca ? I’ve heard people talk about getting ratios between the two wrong and suffering Ed issues as a result? Is that something I need to consider or is it nonsense and totally individual from person to person?

[/quote]
Very individual tbh.

I would add in just 200mg deca and asses after 6-8 weeks.

So the above is correct in general defo

Agree.

I suppose the one off rare issue is you have kidney issues and this is just adding stress causing This.

Have you had any bloods ?

Is the retention on waking or during the day accumulation

I had to write 10000 words on the stuff at uni and I can guarantee this is not a documented side etc

There is always that one rare case tho

Thanks for replies guys…

So answering you hilly –

The water retention seems fine or not as bad in the morning, but towards the end of the day I notice sock rings on my lower legs and for example if I sit on the toilet my trousers etc will leave marks on my shins…

I noticed this around 6 months ago deep into off season so just assumed it was cause I was heavy/out of shape etc… now I’m 5.5 weeks out (I was as I pulled out), and problem remains..

I’ve tried a few options, upped the ai, increase/decrease sodium, increase/decrease water,dandelion root etc I’ve now just dropped yohimbine to see if it clears up..

I had bloods from medi checks 3 months ago start of prep and values where off , but a couple guys mentioned medichecks been off lately, so I got a renal panel from my doctor and everything was OK..

I’m type 1 diabetic so I’m wondering if jts complications with that? I spoke to doctor earlier in week and have a ECG and ACR tests booked for June 2nd…

Tbh im just clutching at straws really trying to find answers lol
