Full session today was;

Pec deck x3
Seated chest press (overhand grip) x3
Incline pin loaded chest press x2
Single arm cuffed lat raise x2 + 1 extra set Right side
Z-bar pushdown superset db hammer curl x2

Nytram single arm bicep curl x2 + 1 extra set Right side

Training ticked off, some more steps to get in between meals and a few appointments making for another productive day.

I agree with the above comments here. You ideally want to keep away from any exercises or movements which cause your stomach to bulge / hernia pushes out. It will likely mean you have to train using lighter weights but for the time being until your operation this would be the way to approach training

Rest day for me today. DOMS this week no where near like last week after 3 days straight training so big improvement here with my body getting used to change in training. Sports massage this morning and also client work, and walk outside to start my day.

Off to meet Kerry’s parents shortly who have come to see us this week and it’s her mums bday also. Then later today I will see my parents as they are celebrating their anniversary, 49 years today!!

Based on the above coming out of a deficit and have a larger off plan meal and then added in more food it sounds like you are pushing things a little quicker than what’s needed.

Your off plan meals if not clean foods as such like your meal plan could be triggering this digestive discomfort especially as every 4 days for an off plan meal is very frequent.

Looking at your meal plan I would be looking to add in more micronutrients from fruit and veggies as you don’t have much in there.

Honey, apple juice, sugar cereal, sweetener you are having a fair bit of sugar here throughout the day. I understand from a from a food volume standpoint to keep it lower, but keeping food plain could be of benefit also

Quads dominant leg session this morning. Adjusted my training session with exercise order (seated ham curl at the start of the session instead of the end) to help get my knee joints warmer. I could feel a little discomfort in my left knee which happens from time to time so more as a precaution here and lowering the weight on leg extensions and going for higher reps.

Overall a really good session today with Karlton, very happy with the numbers moved and no pain so a job well done.

Full session was;

Seated calf raise x3
Seated hamstrings x3
Leg extension x2
Nytram leg press x2
Single leg hip press x2
Adductor x1

Solo pull session today after two meals. Trained closer to home and on my own as I had an appointment this morning which would have clashed with training with Karlton.

I had a good session though, timed it well the gym was quiet so no hanging about or distractions so that was good.

Full session today was:

Chest supported t-bar row x2
Single arm Cybex row x2
Plate loaded pulldown x2
Seated rear delt row x3
Cable preacher curl x2 + 1 extra right side only
Single arm cable curl x3

I don’t think people are micro dosing 3 x a week bud.

They are simply using less Tren in general on a 3 x a week pinning schedule

So I’ll have clients start at 25mg MWF or 10mg daily which would be classed as a daily micro dose.

I agree with Hilly. Less is more so to speak with tren. More so overall mg per week has reduced, then it’s depending on how it’s used / split over the week

I’ve had it before and it’s 100% not Reta, it’s Tirzepitide sold as Reta, I know that for a fact because I tried proforma and ZHPC Reta and got none of the same effects. Tried some triz from ZHPC and it’s exactly the same as Quanta’s ‘Reta’

Thanks for the reply Ben, will skip getting it from there then. Will have to find another source now proforma have stopped doing it

Have you contacted the proforma team via email at all to ask about it?

Hi Greg

How Clare has set out the above is similar to what I would say.

I personally like to have more carbs pre and post workout -keeping pre / post carbs pretty consistent, then the other meals throughout the days carbs wise evenly split.

Protein distributed across meals evenly and fats first and last meals higher to slow down how fast protein absorbs.

Kicked off my training week, the same as last week with push alongside Karlton. Into my second week now with a training partner again and I’m enjoying this set up and where we can both push each other some more to drive progress.

Session today again after 1 meal to work around Karlton routine but it’s all good my end.

Up on numbers / reps from last week so I’ll take that.

My full session today was;

Pec fly x3
Low incline smith press x2
Flat chest press (neutral grip) x3
Seated triceps dips x2
Single arm cross body triceps ext x3
Single arm d handle lat raise x3

I am in agreement with kamara. I would definitely try to dive deeper into what’s causing this discomfort. Coming from myself who has osteoarthritis in my shoulder looking deeper into specifically what is needed for yourself with a physio and having a rehab / mobility protocol in place would really help.

[Marc]

Rest day for me, most definitely needed after this last week of training I have enjoyed the increased training and linking back up with Karlton. A day well spent with my daughter snd kerry, went out to a claw place where play with tokens to collect teddies and my daughter loved it so I’ll take that 🙂

[Marc]

Agree with the team here. Aside from that can’t comment on if other carbs should be added to the meal as you haven’t mentioned what else is in that meal. If you have a good range of micronutrients from fruit and veggies in your meal plan then you don’t have to change / cut out bread

Legs hams dominant with glutes back today (posterior chain). I’ve never directly done a hip thrust exercise in my training program but I’m down to give it a run to see what it could add to my physique.

Good session today, happy with how it went. I need to work on my form with the glute ham raise as that’s an exercise I want to add in and likely take out standing leg curl from this session. So some work to be done form wise, but I’m down to get better.

Full session was;

Standing calf raise x3
Lying leg curl x3
Hip thrust x2
Single leg standing leg curl x2
Chest supported prime row x2
Single arm cable pulldown x2
