Joe u understand any difference at 1400 primo … with the same 1400Mg mast enath in place of primo ?? Or more mast e and less primo ( for example 800-1000 mast e and 400-600 primo )?
Hey bud I feel like mast helps me bring a tighter/harder look and primo is very good with my strength. I don’t feel a massive difference between the two and tbh you could easily split them if you wanted to.[/quote]
Ask you bro because in your prep and off season I understand that have use the mast enath at high dose and many person prefer to use masteron enath nowdays … maybe because it’s not easy to find good primo quality or for less volume of oil … you understand that primo is more useful such muscle building compound from mast enath or you understand both same results in muscle mass with this two ??[/quote]
Yes so in my experience they’re pretty similar but I find I get a harder look from mast so prefer to use that in preptb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Yeah of course. You can just lift way less in total weight on that muscle, so progress will seem a lot less, but think of it as a matter of percentages and it doesn’t seem so bad. Don’t over think it.

So because of my shoulder issue I’ve decided to split my push session into single chest and a single delt session with some top up tris. Doing the chest and delts together was killing my shoulder and my delt work was suffering so back to 5 sessions. Same volume over the week.
That being said trained chest/tri today and had a fantastic session. Felt super strong. Just posted some pics on my ig and I’m very happy with them at 276lb now.
Off to London for a few days tomorrow with Nancy. She’s there for work so I’m tagging along for a change of scenery. Same routine, different place. ☺️

Back when Jp and I worked together we ran super low test high deca, I think it was 200 test, and then like 1.8g of deca and I blew the fuck up. Super strong, big and full and literally didn’t have any sides. So yeah it works. For me. Again, you never know until you try. I’m sure that wouldn’t work for some. But again, it will for others. There really are no absolute rules in this game.

Second rest day today and felt a little better which has been good so will no doubt be back in the game tomorrow 🙏 going to get an early night tonight and proper sleep in. Knowing when to listen to the body and reel it in for a couple of days is so important. 4 training days a week also allows me to have the rest days I need so I also haven’t actually missed any sessions which is great.
Been at Nancys parents house today helping them host a dinner party so had to have my social head on. Back home now and I’m socially and physically knackered 😴 😂

Rest day today and felt a little ill still. Deffo not ideal but it is what it is. About time I was due a little illness feels like ages since I’ve been ill. Tbh I’ve probs half put myself in this hold via training so a good few days off is needed. Just need a bit of downtime and a mini deload.
Going to get to bed now and hit another rest day tomorrow and the get back to it Monday!

Clare has nailed it here
You could also opt for a higher carb day on a weaker muscle group if that was somewhere you would looking to focus on
Or you could have a higher carb day on a more demanding day eg legs
As Clare said there’s no rules, but those are a few further examples for you

A gram of protein per lb is usually a safe place to start (I tend to shoot a touch over that around 1.2g/lb usually with clients and go from there) so if you’re 160lb you’d be looking around 190g protein which is 760kcal leaving you with 2440.
If you did 500g carb that’s 2000kcal leaving you with 440kcal which would be just under 50g carb.
Example diet
3200kcal
Protein 190g
Carbs 500g
Fats 50gDepends what phase you’re in plus other variables but here’s an example for you.
