On 180mg testosterone if its real then you will likely loose no muscle during a sharp cut IME based on your stats.
I would hold another 2-4 weeks first and maintain this current BW.
I would then pull down hard – 2500 T days and 2000 R days for the first week – Then asses progress and get output up – I would also personally bring in some clen if wanting to get in and out hard and use 40mcg for the 4 weeks.
If you check my insta you can see some hard mini cuts I have done in the highlight real with pretty good success.
This is the approach I’ve gone with. I have some Clen about, didn’t even cross my mind to Chuck that in but I’ll add it in. Actually set it up prior to seeing this but I’ve gone 2.5k TD and 1.9k NTD. No direct cardio but 13-15k steps per day, just worried if I chucked in direct cardio my leg performance may dwindle and that’s been a huge focus this last push.
Definitely not about the slow cut as I just end up going to far and before I know it my deficit time creeps up towards my surplus time.

Hi Ryan,
I don’t have images but I’d say 15% Bf. I was always under the impression with mini cuts that they needed to be mega aggressive out the gate. Don’t really want to get caught up doing long diets as I just want to spend as much time gaining as I can, I’ve been guilty of spinning my wheels in the past. Composition is secondary to the issue as it’s hoodie season. my main problem is appetite, hoping to resensitise that and tidy up at the same time to prolong the next step.

Hi,
I can say from my own experience, definitely. I had a coach that put me on 1.2g and I wasn’t entirely comfortable with it. Moved away from him and on my 2nd cycle I ran 700mg, total peak, starting from 400mg weeks 1-8 and I made just as good a progress.

Hey buddy! How much are you consuming during the day? What’s your diet look like? I find that low carb diets tend to make me go to the loo more often. However I never wake up more than once/ twice!
Hi Louis,
6 litres training day, 4 non training day, pretty active in my job though. Diets currently pushing so carbs are at 600 training and 450 non training. I’m getting up atleast 4 times minimum. They’re not little pisses either, like they’re full blown streams, leaves me scratching my head as to where the water is coming from!

Are you also taking T4 and what is your free T4 showing as?
Hi,
No just t3. T4 isn’t included in the test, I wasn’t specifically checking thyroid it was just a general bloods but couldn’t help notice TSH wasn’t in the gutter like I’d expect to see. [/quote]
Ok got it. The fact that your T3 is (slightly) elevated would indicate that your Tiromel is legit. It’s a low dose and you aren’t taking T4 so your TSH is in range which is a good thing. Presumably you’re in a fat loss phase which is why you’re taking T3? This looks like a Medichecks test. Next time maybe try E-Val which is much more comprehensive and will give you a complete picture along with analysis from a guy who works with bodybuilders. [/quote]
Out of the fat loss which I was taking 50mg and dropped to 25mg whilst I went travelling, then started my off-season and never actually dropped it completely. Yeah I’d love to use Eval but the closest clinic is quite some distance. My TSH is there so I presume it’s not shutdown so I’m going to guess I won’t rebound badly so I’ll just drop the 25mg and grab some iodine supps. Just wanted to ensure that the TSH is the marker for shutdown or I’m mistaken -

Listened to the podcast today man, really good to hear the changes made and how it’s reaped so much progress and enjoyment alongside it.
You look mad, insane shape and I can’t wait to see you on that Arnold stage alongside some of those guys competing, going to be a real battle. Whatever the outcome, unbelievable how much progress has been made in the time scale you’ve done it! Good luck!

I’ll put pictures to it. First photo is my usual ROM, where I feel my glutes overly firing. 2nd is where I feel my glutes NOT taking over and more quads firing.
I actually said my mobility is really good & not poor which means I have zero issue getting right the way down, I just feel going all that way down is taking away from quad. My heels are on the bottom grip strip so they’re pretty low down.
Those pics uploaded the wrong way round but the lower of the 2 is the glute taking over

Glad that makes sense. I’ve used other hacks in the past that don’t have as much ROM and I felt those much more in my quads, it just seems that once my glutes come on to much, it dominates the rep, where as a little less ROM sees them not come on and I lead with the quads much more.
I’ll try wedging so my heels are elevated and see how that goes next rotation.
-
Yeah I think that’s the art of it and what I was thinking to myself is just have fun, train hard and let progress happen naturally. Despite the training variables with gyms etc my nutrition and rest are fairly on point so progress should be getting forced without writing it down… after this push is over with I’ll drop the book and train a bit more on feel and just enjoy myself.
-
Hi, actually really like this idea, might just track the first major lift in my session and let the rest just go on feel. Makes it easier to keep some sort of track across using multiple gyms too. Get a little benefits from both sides then.
Thanks

Cheers all. Yeah I’ve definitely been guilty of breaking form to hit a number, also had my first set regress and put me in a stinker for the rest of the session.
I’ll give it a go, It might keep me more grounded with the loads im handling vs form. So many top guys I see don’t use them and it works it’ll just be odd with the attachment to it I’ve had for so long.

Yeah no way I’m starting at 60 haha. Thanks guys, atleast I know I’m on the right path. X2 really enough? If I can get away with less then great as I do t want to have to increase food to much more, was going to run it daily…
2 rounds rent really going to do anything
4/5 rounds of hit x2 per week won’t lead to you needing an increase in good.
No need to run it daily if it’s heart health purpose [/quote]
Sorry I meant x2 times a week. I’ve set 15 mins aside so I’ll run intervals until that time is up. I managed 30 on 60 moderate today for 15 mins, I’ll run that and progress it as my fitness improves. I’ll stick to x2 a week, maybe x3 to grab s little extra cardiovascular fitness too.Cheers Kuba.
