Hey Joe, really enjoyed the video today my man! Nice to know being resilient pays off haha. Also do you need that amount of adex at at that level of test? Like in an off-season?

Thank you buddy appreciate that mate! And yes I’m quite prone to gyno if not managed so the AI needs to be there and it’s also helping dry me out nicely at that dose – not long left now 🙂

Why the choose for Enanthate instead of the short ester ?

1 because it’s working really well
2. Because 850mg of prop is alot of injections lol

I think that’s actually a really good way to go about it bud. Progress that method until you plateaux and then go back to your initial rep ranges and you should be able to progress them again 🙂

Had another good day today. I feel like I’ve fully adjusted to my diet now and don’t feel too tired etc – in a lovely position at 2 weeks out from Watford and 5 weeks from Portugal 🙂

Slight food changes – swapped post wo coco pops for bagel and jam as it’s more filling (I know they sit well with me) – will post diet below.

Also new additions to my cycle – all orals are now IN!!

You may also possibly have poor Dorsi flexion at the ankle joint meaning you can’t take the plate lower with a lower foot position purely down to mobility. Look into working on reducing the angle between you toes and your shins via a number of stretches, isometric holds and rolling out

Hey mate it’s up to you tbh if you’re gunna do it either way then you may as well use it to help your look on stage.

PCT would be done before bloods are taken at 8 weeks post cycle (JP favours this timeframe) because you’d probs be coming off as opposed to cruising.

Hi, currently a natural body builder mid off season with an upcoming show at the end of October, I’ve used food as my anabolic source during my off season but due to come into prep within the next month. Is it wise to do a first course of Test only during a prep? Also how would this look in terms of when to PCT? Post show? Thanks in advance!

Hi mate well I guess you’re doing an untested Fed then if that’s the case?

I wouldn’t say ‘wise’ is the word. More look at is it appropriate yet? … have you competed before? Have you maxed out your natural potential? Have you truly naturally reached your ceiling of progress? … I can answer the other questions after I know this stuff ????

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated! I competed with the PCA back in April (first competition) and qualified for the British finals in October. I’m 28 and have around 10-11 years of training under my belt. Stage weight was 80kg and currently sitting at around 91kg which is the heaviest I’ve been, so maybe I do have a little more progress to make naturally but progress has definitely slowed in recent times. Thanks again[/quote]
Hey buddy

I would say with a training age of 10-11 years, that wouldn’t be an appropriate time to start your first cycle, especially as you’ve competed and clearly train and diet hard so all aspects are on point. I would suggest a very low dose test only course for your first time 150-200m a week max of Test E and you should see some pretty awesome gains. Keep me posted with your ideas and thoughts mate

What John said. Ensure all other parameters are the same re preparation and prior recovery for the session … deffo don’t write it off. I would say you probs got more in the tank, go and empty the barrel in your sessions

PLAN CHANGES
Rest day today!

Cals are lowwww on rest day so prefer training tbh haha but needs must. I worked this morning at the gym and it was tough as I was still catching up from tiredness from the weekend – (just being real)
Came home and napped – love an afternoon nap! Cardio has now been upped to 30 mins liss which I’ve decided to do on the watt bike level 10 pretty hard. I was sweating a lot. But before this I did posing practice for 45 mins. Spend half of it doing 1/4 turns and mandatories and the other half on my routine.

After cardio I did 3 sets of abs to keep them ticking over. Feeling good!

So small addition of time to the LISS and also t3 has been upped to 50mcg on wake as well as the addition of 40mcg clen.

Time to bring the shreds. Will post some pics from this morning here now weighing 113.3kg – my weight is holding as we up the test! 5.5 weeks out from Portugal!
