Its a difficult one to answer because we dont know how you respond to Deca but im inclined to agree with Kuba – you have the data from current blood work. You know all is bang on and a simple nice escalation of test is predicable and will guarantee results so I fully agree here.

I would then redo bloods 6-8 weeks into this cycle and based on that I would then consider if needed a second escalation of 100-150mg Deca personally

Monday – 2 x 25 minute dog walks – trained with a client

Training – Delts/chest/arms

Seated Db laterals – 4 x 8-10
Narrow shoulder press – 4 x 8-10
Chest press – 4 x 8-10
Dips – 4 x 8-10
Cable curl SS with rope PD – 4 x 10-12
1 arm cable Curl ss with 1 arm Tri PD -3 x 12-15

Decent session training with a local client who is going to do a first times show next year. Posed with him afterwards.

5 meals in total – Rest day 2moro and then hopefully training Wednesday if Mum can have Arilena for me a little bit. Then I intend to train Saturday before I head off skiing with Arilena Sunday to Thursday were there will be no training.

Once that trip is over I will be back to normal and fully locked in for the foreseeable and am well passed making excuses for things.

its been a challenging 6 weeks with moving house etc and December I always now focus on giving all my time to Arilena. It is difficult mentally to let me training and eating drop off but she is much more important so I thats were my focus does lie and will continue to lie at this time of year.

IMO it would be silly not to include yes – We want to be doing all we can to increase the bodies ability to digest and uptake nutrients when pushing food.

Honestly I like most clients to be using a good high quality digestive product like TBJP digest pro year round to aid in digestion full stop and would defo say its a very useful tool in the off season. I start most people on 2 caps daily with first and last meal and this may increase as food volume gets high.

L glutamine on wake 10-15g is also a must for me

There is certainly merit for it and some have seen good success using it. Just be mindful of how it effects your hunger and digestion with it slowing down the digestive system some experience stomach discomfort etc.

Get the dose right for yourself and it can defo be beneficial

I would start with 1mg per week split into 3 doses and then asses as you go. If feel the need to titrate up I would work up slowly.

For example

1.3mg
1.6mg
1.9mg

As Clare states – Refeeds are not a must but IME most need them and find them very useful as they get into the later stages of a diet once very lean to maintain performance and keep fat loss moving but gain they re not a must and as you say if all signs are good and progress is consistent then there is no indication one needs to refeed

Yeh this would not concern me at all.

Do you have a link to the science showing this actually occurs?

Agree with both of the above – Adex will work if its a high E2 issue for sure.

However whats the cycle to be? Are you in general prone to gyno ? Why not design the cycle to be more E2 lowering

So i already have som gyno on my left, and i was thinking of running 400mg of test/wk, first cycle[/quote]if your prone to gyno issues and thus high E2 then I would look to run 400mg test and 150-200mg Eq depending on response and how well it controls your E2 which in most is very well indeed.

However if just wanting to stick to 1 compound then I would start with 400mg test and 0.5mg Adex Mon/Wed/ Friday and asses things as you go based on sides/feel and blood work

My go to would be test plus low dose Eq. However if only interested in these 2 options then I would likely use a combo of both depending on how much masteron you have available and how much you need to control E2. As in general masteron won’t stop E2 ring high and just potentially prevent some higher E2 sides depending on response.

What test dose would you be looking to run, how much masteron do you have and how do you usually respond when E2 runs a little higher

Sunday – another rest day – knee is still bad and Arilena was at a gymnastics show most of the day – so some xmas present sorting before that and then time with Arilena after that.

Yes this is very common for most when very lean. As I get close to stage I’m lucky if I get 4-5 hours sleep.

The suggestions from the ladies Above are all things I would suggest to.

And how much protein should I be getting in? Is 185 enough? What determines how much I need?

That could be enough for sure.

What determines if so or you need more.

Recovery
Progress in the gym
Progress in terms of muscle growth
