Having an awesome time here in France so far. Lots of sun and chilling. Went canoeing down the Dordogne today which was fun
Got a session in at the local gym and trained chest and tri. Was actually pretty good tbf. The gym is good, nice and clean and just a general good version of a commercial gym. Got the job done.
Heading in for legs tomo and then Go karting in the evening

Yes guys had a good few days off the gym now just really enjoyed some nice down time here in France. It’s been so hot here 41 degrees today. Completely kills your appetite so deffo down on food – which I needed anyway, as needed a little appetite reset for when I get back. Enjoying my chill time and tbh doing duck all all day. Lying around in the sun, doing a touch of work here and there. I never ever do this so it’s nice to unplug for a bit

Pretty clear the pattern with our answers. No need to go zero. I’ve ever done it and never done it with any clients. Give yourself a good enough timeline to get lean, and you won’t have to. You should ever have to if things have been managed properly. Sounds like you’re doing it yourself, I’d look to get a coach brother.

Hey Joe, I’ve heard mixed things about DHB, especially regarding its potential liver toxicity. Just curious – how do you personally tolerate it at 350 mg? Any noticeable sides or bloodwork impact you’ve seen?
[/quote]Hey man literally none whatsoever and I’ve ran it up to around 600 before too bud, find it very good for ‘lean gains’ and maintaining tissue in a cut. A good replacement for tren imo. Weighing the pros and the cons of the two tren wrecks me so bad and Dhb I feel nothing brother[/quote][/quote]

Dead stop barbell row otherwise known as a Pendlay row. Haven’t done them in ages as I have a bad back but they’re decent. As Oscar said run it up. When it eventually gets too heavy that form is going switch to a full barbell row. Can also do it on the smith as another alternative.

Been a long day packing and getting all my work done. Packing for 10 days as a bodybuilder is stressful
my suitcase is quite literally packed me half clothes and one half supplement and gear lol … and yes when you travel abroad I have all my jabs pre loaded and put them in a plastic Tupperware so they’re safe and put them in my suitcase. Done that for over 10 years and never ever had any problems tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Keep going my man. Regular adjustments to nutrition and output and your weight will indeed start to come down. Focus on hard training too bro even when dieting, makes all the difference.

Had to do that last two session at my local commercial gym that I usually use for cardio. Terrible gym compared to normal but it’s not about the gym it’s about what you with it and ngl I actually had two good sessions so far and one more in there tomorrow to. Looks pretty wank for back but we’ll see how that goes tomorrow

For compounds I like to lift heavy and usually fall between 6-15 as a rough guide. Usually on the lower end set 1 and then maybe a couple more set too. Rarely ever will I do anything above 15 reps on compounds.

Headed down to Brighton today for PRP so no training today and tomorrow. Had a good few dog walks and other than that a pretty non eventful day. Off for coffee with friends tomo so looking forward to that. Off to bed now.
Hi Joe! What other hair loss products do you use? Do you find the PRP works? [/quote]
Hey Sean so I use the shampoo, conditioner, hair follicles spray and the hair follicle capsules from 360 optimum hair. Just use them daily. Super easy.I’m doing a course of 6 treatments relatively intensely so when I’ve done a few we’ll do an assessment and be able to see the regrowth which I’m looking forward to

Can’t see cardio effecting recovery and at the end of the day if you need to do it to get lean… you need to do it. Ensure you’re sleeping enough and staying hydrated. Carbs around training and post workout for sure. Cardio type it doesn’t matter at all. Rower is fine, especially if it’s easier from a routine perspective.
