Hunger in the off season isn’t a bad thing. If anything it means your digestion is flying and you are more than likely utilising all the food you are eating. Does hunger mean you are not growing? Again, no. Remember bodybuilding is visual and we use a lot of tools to track our progress, if the scales are climbing, your getting stronger and you aren’t gaining too much fat it’s likely that you are in a good place. On the other hand if strength isn’t progressing and you aren’t growing then absolutely eat more food. Add food gradually though. Once your appetite is shot you will be very quickly wishing you felt hungry again.

Is the cramp post training? And when you have trained legs?

I use it as my natural t3 is low. The main benefit i get a better energy balance and far less fatigue and low mood and a slightly better body comp . Using 25ug puts my level into the mid range. Its really helped me alot . Just wondering the best approach for the future

There’s your answer bud. If it puts you mid range and makes you feel better then you are in the right spot now. I would run this as long as it’s making you feel better and your in range

Sounds like you have had a larger hit of test. This can happen when switching labs, the one you are using now is clearly doses higher.

I wouldn’t try to decrease dose as it’s likely the previous test was under dosed. I would stay with what you are using. I like what Ryan says about adding the 20mg nolva, this should see things subside if sides are mild. You can always up your aromasin to 3 x weekly too.

In for arms today. A decent session with good connection throughout . I’m purely looking for hard precise contractions in these sessions and only increasing weight if it doesn’t interfere with form and feel. I’m finally after 12 months of severe bicep tendonitis coming through the other side, however I need to be careful with exercise selection not to do any movements that will aggravate or inflame the issue. Right now everything feels good and minimum pain so I’m very happy

Much needed rest tomorrow before a big leg session on Tuesday!

Your muscle doesn’t know what you are lifting it only knows the tension you are putting through it. If lifting tree trunks felt best there would be no harm in doing that. Every exercise you ever use should feel comfortable to YOU, if it doesn’t don’t use it. My point is machine or free weight it doesn’t matter as long as it works for you 🙂

Pull day today and again another very good session. The days lately are perfect and strung together nicely. Strength still increasing and I’m enjoying the barbell row back in the sessions.

Today’s session was

Dual h/s low row x 2
Barbell row x 2
Seated mag grip cable row x 2
Incline bench support pull down x 2
Rev pec dec x 2
Shrug machine x 2

So far this volume is proving very good for me so I will stick with this and progress strength week in week out

I would remove some exercises. 9 exercises in general and some have 3 work sets is a lot. Reduce it to around 7 exercises and I bet your strength, recovery and fullness is loads better. From there Pay particular attention to your recovery and logbook progression, this will give you the data you need on any future adjustments you may need to make to you plan.

Check in day and push today. Both went well. Check ins are starting to see more shape me and kuba are happy with where I am at right now.

Push was good. All numbers in the book progressed and a very good connection today. You know you have had a good session when you feel trashed after a 12 set push session off the back of a rest day.

Pics from this mornings check in below. Sitting at 253lbs here, 28lbs above the classic limit and hopefully 19 weeks out from the amateur Olympia in London

A couple of points

Pull 2 and legs 2, the front squat 2 sleeps after deadlifts and Tbar row in the same session may be a little too much lower loading. I would personally look to switch out the front squat for a machine you are braced in and doesn’t have too much emphasis on the lower back. Accumulative fatigue with this could see your other lifts suffer over the weeks.

Also pay close attention to your volume as there seems to be a lot of sets total across the split so this may need to be reduced at some point.

I also like to add the bicep work onto the end of a pull session. My biceps are somewhat warmed up and ready to go. At the end of push I feel like they take some warming up but this is just personal preference

Standard rest day today. Ticked all the boxes and got a decent nap in the afternoon, things are starting to tighten up a little now. Still way out of condition but shape is starting to come through more and vascularity returning to the quads which is always sign for me that things are moving. A solid 3 days of training coming up so I wanted to make sure I’m well rested to push some big numbers this next block. LETS GO!

In off season or when food is generally high a shake with nut butter is always easy to get down before bed or even salmon.

In a diet phase or if I was hungry in general the Greek yogurt/whey and nut butter is my go to

If life extensions don’t display the BCM-95 on the label it won’t be in there and that’s what you want. Cure-coming is the product I use and highly recommend it
