Got my arms session done today. Ended up going to everlast gym. Little easier to get to and quite like going there when it’s just arms. Little change of environment. Can smash a good arm workout anywhere tbh if you know what you’re doing.
Had a good day. Launched a new programme at work for coaching. Went on a nice dog walk. And had a cooked roast dinner from Nancy to replace one meal. Basically was the same meal chicken and potato lol just a lot nice haha
Ready for another week tomorrow!

Assume from what you’ve said you’re in a diet phase. Sounds for sure like you need to step off the gas a touch. Potentially some form of refeed. Get recovered and back to progressing again.

So because if my shoulder injury (ongoing) I’ve had to swap my push session into 2 sessions. One chest and tri and one delts as it was too much to do all in one session pain wise. So back from 4 sessions to 5.
Split now is
Chest tri
Back bi
Rest
Legs
Delts

Terrible leg session today. Knee was in agony so couldn’t do any quad work. Nightmare. Basically just did hams adductor and calf and then luckily was already booked in for physio. So had work done and a good look at my knee. Not ideal but it is what it is. Tomorrow we go again.

When I used to work manual labour 8-5am my meal times would be
7/7.30 – meal 1
10am break – meal 2
1pm break – meal 3
4pm – pre workout meal/shake
7.30/8pm – post workout mealIf bulking I’d add in something pre bedtime too like some Greek yogurt and granola and whey or something like that.

Had a good pull session today. Was on my own which I do enjoy from time to time. Just headphones in and completely unplug from everything. Session was:
Rope pull down
Single arm low row
Prime mid back row
V bar lat pull down
Cable high row
Prime bicep curl machine
Standing cable curlAgain, still just the one all out set, and feeling really good here now.
Let’s see what happens over the next few weeks 🙏

Yeah single arm – you could consider getting a gym pin to increase the weight too. Other intensity techniques too like pauses, slow eccentrics etc may also be an option.

Been pretty busy with work recently so pushed training back by an extra meal. I know that would mess some peoples ocd up. But I’ve always like the fact I can be flexible and still get shit done. Had a really good chest/tri session as I mentioned my shoulder pain is still bad but my strength is in a really good spot. Just waiting for the peptides to kick in so to speak and hide all my pain so I can keep smashing it 😂 spoken like a true meat head. Pull tomorrow and we go again!

For some reason I can’t post pics here. But took some shots today that’s I’m very happy with. Feeling big but also very lean at 275. Deffo the best I’ve looked at this weight which is pretty cool.
A great chest session today with tris and some posing. Bit of shoulder pain still but it is what it is. I’m just dealing with it at this point – BPC, regular massage and chiro work. It’s as good as it’ll be so just gotta keep that up and carry the fuck on 😂

I’ve taken shit with me all over the world before but not to the USA not worth it with how stringent they are with things at the border.

Trained today in London for the first time in a few days. Finally feeling a little better. Did more of an upper session today to hit a few muscle groups. Obv not the normal plan. It it felt good to move some blood around again. Will be back on it now! Also back home now and back to normal routine. 🙂

Monday upper 1
Tuesday lower 1
Wednesday rest
Thursday upper 2
Friday lower 2
Weekend offNext week repeat or as in another rotation with upper/lower 3+4 sessions.
4 sessions a week is plenty to progress from but 5 in a row you’ll soon run into trouble – if you train hard.

You prefer more the NPP fast ester from slow ester deca ?
I do all my jabs microdosed everyday anyway.
I don’t really use either nandrolones atm – NPP gives me a few too many neurological sides so not a fan. I’ve ran the high deca before that certainly worked well. I’m not prone to getting watery so it works well for me.

The guys have nailed it here in a lot of depth
For me I do it without thinking as been doing it along time but having set meal times and sticking to them is very important to stop you getting behind
Consider putting them in your diary or potentially setting alarms
Aside from that decide if your goal is worth chasing, if it’s important hopefully you can use some of the tools here and get after it 🙂
