I’m with all the above to.

Warm up work
Ham curl first
Extension second
Hack / squat / leg

I don’t find this takes anything away from performance but connection / joints etc all feel way better

As others have said easiest move here is to remove both and asses if things come back to normal. Then add in 1 at a time and see what happens.

Lots of bugs going around at the minute so it may be that but it could well be 1 of the supplements or the combo of both.

i would make an increase – how much of an increase is truly personal preference on how much you want to push and more you want sooner. As we know in reality when all else is perfect more drugs mean more progress.

I would split the cycle into 3 phases, you dont need to hold the same dose throughout.

Phase 1 – 400mg test, 200mg primo

Phase 2 – 450mg test, 250mg primo –

Phase 3 – 500 test, 300mg primo

Run it for 18 -24 weeks

Hey Hilly, I appreciate your advise yet again. I’m guessing each phase would be 6-8 weeks long? At what point would you say is best to get bloods done? And is it just a case of seeing how I’m looking and feeling before pushing up to the next phase? [/quote]
yeh and you would base it on progress, if all is great and progress keeps going then there is no need to step up the dose.

I would be getting bloods done around 6-8 weeks into cycle to asses hormones etc so if I want to up the dose I know how best to do so based off blood work

I like 27-29g insulin needles backfilled buddy

Correct me if im wrong but when you guys say backload you mean to preload/prepare your shots?

And when you do these in multiple instead of bigger you’d rather do 3 smaller shots than one 3ml at that sight?

[/quote]
Yes that is correct

sounds like your trying to get out of the real hard work here lol. I mean you dont want to be a laughing stock for having only upper body and no legs.

From a competitive standpoint altho not directly judged it is still important to have balance

Hello Luna

It depends on your goal.

Do you just want a coach for a lifestyle or a coach for contests?

Cause both are pretty different approaches and the price may vary cause of that difference.

A prep coach can be much more expensive as their investment is more time eating if it makes sense; and check-in with them are more often and sometimes very very often.

So first of all; tell us what is you personal goal right now ?

If your personal goal is competing; you need to find someone who knows the category by heart; and when I say that I mean litterally by heart; cause the body building world became lately very very saturated and level is super high; so if you have an experienced coach but this one does not know the criterions perfectly; you can unfortunately loose a lot of time, and any loss of time; is a loss of money by defaut.

And this has nothing to do with coaching skills at all; there are out here (europe or usa) amazing coach, very human and passionate, but if they don’t understand the division perfectly; those skills and experience are useless.

So tell us what is your goal.

And if you are based in USA; I think you could also take a coach from USA, cause even if nowadays it’s good to be coached online, nothing replace a good face to face check-in once a month with your coach or some trainings here and there with you coach, thing which will be impossible with an european coach, particularly if you don’t have an heavy budget.

Waiting your answer

Hello Allison, thank you very much for your thoughtful and sincere reply. For background information, I am 17 years old with two years of bodybuilding experience. I am not looking for a coach to guide me through a prep quite yet. From what I understand, the definition of a lifestyle coach is a bodybuilding coach you work with without the intention of doing a prep. If that is correct, then that is what I need. It is inevitable that I will compete in a few years, but there’s a lot of work to be done before that happens. I need a coach who’s able to work with me to build my physique up as much as possible and provide proper guidance. I don’t think for where I’m at right now that I necessarily need in person coaching/check ins. Now with this being said, would it be worthwhile I to reach out to TBJP coaches even though I am in the United States?[/quote]
When looking for a coach I would pay attention to those who seem to connect/resinate with you most as all offer something different and a different approach to some extent.

i would simply get in touch with who ever you feel offers what you are looking for – discuss with them and find out there pricing and how they work etc. Remember you are looking to hire them and purchase there service like anything else. Your simply enquiring about how they work and if you want to hire them/can afford to.

All of us work with clients all over the world so its no issues in that side unless you feel you need some one you can check in with unperson as some do prefer this even if its just occasionally

Creapure is just a brand name for a pure Creatine Monohydrate. Both Creapure and creatine contain the same active ingredient, so as long as you’re buying 100% creatine monohydrate from a reputable company, I wouldn’t worry. tbJP Nutrition offer the most cost effective 100% creatine monohydrate, which we all use.

Fully agree also

Not something i would be doing in general to be honest. Sounds like an awful lot of over thinking and over analysing unless taking specific drugs that can cause issue with food uptake.

I have clients check on wake fasted BG to asses insulin resistance 2-3 times a week.

Outside of that unless we are having issues I dont have people checking pre and PWO.

If I eat 100g carbs per meal every meal and check my BG 60 minutes post meal it will be higher. If I check it 90 minutes it will be lower. If I check in 120 minutes it will be lower again. Has zero impact on how much energy I have to train as the energy (glucose is stored in the muscle). Not the blood.

PWO – some when using insulin will look to monitor BG to asses dosing in relation to carbs etc. again I dont see how PWO blood glucose is going to tell you if you need more carbs for recovery. Surely performance, strength ,scale, visual and progress overall tell you that

All AAS effect us differently.

The aim here is to get bloods done – Asses what stress is being places were from the cycle being ran and make sure supplementation is added correct things.

You then use this knowledge plus your own feedback to aim designing future stacks to create less stress toxicity on the body if posisble.

I would drop down to 0.9 or 1.2mg split ideally daily or a minimum of 3 x a week. This should help hunger come back and find a better balance

If it was me id be running 0.9mg split MWF

What are your current macros buddy?

I would keep fats low to moderate….

Protein consistent 1.25g per lb of BW

And usually take my first initial drop from carbs. If we could see your current setup would probably help us make a better judgement

My current macros right now at the end of my bulk on training days is 3400 with around 213 protein 105 Fat and 394 Carbs. My current maintenance calories is 2889. So to create my 1st cal deficit, should I come down to maintenance and add in some cardio or come down around 250 cal from my maintenance and start there?[/quote]

so are these not your current macros then? We cant advise how to alter food/macros if we dont know what they currently are bud ? [/quote]Yes these are my current macros as I am still bulking. My maintenance cals are 2889.[/quote]
Depending on preference and how you respond I would be pulling from fats first and then carbs. Id be working fats down over time to 50g likely in 2 x 25g pulls.

However you may feel better on higher fats and in that case work carbs down

Or back load 3 x 1ml insulin needles ( this is what most of us do )

Yeh i would prefer breaking down into 3 x smaller shots these days.
