    Had a really good week of training so far. Feeling very strong I won’t lie. Obv not as strong as when on cycle but I’m not a million miles off tbf! Foods going in nicely and most importantly I’m enjoying myself again – probs why I’m making the progress that I am 🙏

    Legs and back the past couple of days and back in tomorrow for delts and triceps!

    Started my initial off season split today that Patrick gave me. Now I’m passed a couple of injuries I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it.

    The split is:

    Chest and bi

    Back thickness (rows) and calves

    Quads and 1 ham

    Rest

    Shoulders and triceps

    Back width (pulldowns) and hamstrings

    So today was chest and bi. Really good session tbf and even though I’m still ‘natty’ lol my recovery seems to be pretty damn so i ran 3 sets per exercise and did 5 chest and 3 bi. Class session!

    Hey Joe I love this spilt as well!

    Just curious if you could possibly post what your diet and meals look like right now? [/quote]
    I’ll post my meals below here for you mate

    Hey Kian, I’m not really sure what the question is here, but some people genetically will have a harder time holding onto decent condition when they push up. For those people I’d always suggest coming out of a diet phase slowly and with gradual changes. Small caloric increases until your weight starts to go up 0.5-1lb a week is probs a decent place to be. Faster than that and you’ll likely be putting on negative body fat/muscle percentage ratio. You might be somewhat fatigued, hence the poor training but tbh it is what it is. If you’ve rested and slowly eating more you just need to crack on. Not everyday feels amazing. And that’s fine, just keep progressing your lifts and slowly taking food up. Keep cardio in and steps up too to control fat gain.

    First time looking at myself today in a very long time and ngl I’m pretty damn happy with the look considering I’ve only been on 300mg test since May. 9 months nearly of low T (compared to what I’m used to) and I feel like I actually look kinda big so not mad at all. And condition as always is staying true to the genetics. Might even post it on the gram. We’ll see 😂

    Yeah shit like that can happen from time to time. Dose up on the join in and cure coming. That tends to keep most things at bay for me. Failing that some BPC/TB should clear it up if resting really isn’t an option.

    Also are you doing any cardio right now and do you do the cardio fasted or post workout mainly?

    Zero cardio for me in the offseason. Never have some any. Would end up just losing too much weight 😂

    Really been enjoying training recently. Funny how sometimes it comes and goes. Deffo ‘harder’ when you’ve been on a cruise low dose for 9 months but finding wants to progress and enjoy training. Logging is going well and I’m actually feeling pretty strong all things considered so that’s great!

    Trained today then spent the afternoon watching the 6 nations! Buzzing that’s it’s back on! Class win for England – hoping we do the grand slam this year! 🙌

    I don’t think there’s a right answer here bud. Put them when you feel they sit best in your split.

    Yesterday was my first fertility test. Interested to see the results in 10 days time when my gp gets them and lets me know. From here we can see the quality of my sperm and then change or amend the plan should I need to based off the results.

    Back thickness and calves tonight:

    Prime row x 3
    Low row x 3
    T bar row x 2
    Straight bar cable row x 2
    Rope face pull x 2
    Seated calf x 3
    Standing calf x 3

    Decent session and moved some pretty good weight too.

    Been a decent weekend. Trained delts and arms yday at kings and had a decent session. The walked the dog and did a food shop and a fair bit of planning for the week ahead so I’m set ready to go for Monday. Another busy day and week ahead so I’m looking forward to getting stuck in as per usual. Hope you all had a great weekend 🙏
