Yes, I always make sure to have a full day of rest before getting bloodwork done, just to minimise the impact that training can have on certain markers and help ensure the results are as accurate and representative as possible

Hey guys, a great weekend over in Prague with some really good progress and results for the team!!

Also really nice to see Coop’s clients doing so well, especially Andrew in the 212. Cooper and Andrew have been working together for a long time now, and it’s brilliant to see all that hard work and development starting to be rewarded on stage

Bodybuilding takes time, especially for the majority of us. Building a competitive physique doesn’t happen overnight, and sometimes it takes years of consistent work before you start seeing those results reflected in your placings

Anyway, excited for the day ahead!! Back in training with Cooper today for a push session, and really looking forward to getting back in the gym, moving some weight and getting stuck into training again

Written out 🙂

HDL is defo taking a hit here.

Tbjp omega pro 8-9g per day

Tbjp heart card and love heart

E2 is a touch high n for you personally this is clearly to much. I would up your promo to 210mg per week.

T3 read is poor also. I would look to add in some selenium etc to try n improve this.

All else looks fine n those that are skewed are very likely skewed from training [/quote]Hi hilly.
I take 6 caps currently of omega pharma pro so can increase there.
I use love heart at reccomended dose. Will add in heart care.
I already take selium alongside my 100mg of t4 in the middle of the night
Anything else you would suggest?
With my test levels at 25NMOL ish my HDL sat at 0.9, so must be something that runs low for me.
So following on you would increase the primo as stated, and run for another 6 weeks before dropping back to TRT dose?
[/quote]
Do you have an caffine or iron supps close to selenium window, could be timing that’s needs adjusting rather than straight away adding in T3 , how much selenium?

I’ll allow you and Peter to discuss the rest as I know the questions were direct to him

Hey Guy, hope you are well

Today was one of my pro clients pro abuse and she ended up in the second call

Very happy with that we’ve gone through quite a big turning Hair hormones being a lady a little Muhammad we’ve actually had a bit of a turnaround with her hormones due to the menopause during prep so managing that has been a little difficult but at least step up to the mark

Looking forward to seeing her progress from here we are going to go straight into the building phases. We know that more sizes needed and Holly be the person that she will want to thank you. Get up when she is competitive and now that they’re taking the box has been done for the pro debut she doesn’t want to extend the season without being competitive completely understandable. I’m excited to get stuck into that.

Hi, well the Tsh, t3, t4 is ok all of them. I do because i ripped very well combine with clen, yohimbine and caffeine. The dose , i increase 12.5 each 2 – 3 weeks begging with 25, normally until 75. Sometimes 75 when i wake up sometimes half when i wake up and half 12 hours later. Thats the way i did and the condition was so good in all my competitions. But perhaps you think it’s better combine with t4, but t4 is the inactive part and convert to t3, so my idea is better take directly t3. Thanks so much

What does your blood work say? What’s the reasoning behind this high dosage?

[/quote]
If you’re using T3, you need to utilise T4 in combination

You don’t need to be utilising that much thyroid medication if the issue is conditioned without it then you just need to think about how you can create those types of results through diet and expenditure

Trying to force it through extra the medication is never going to lead to good to long-term effect, trust me

Hey Guys

Rest day which will be

– work
– house work
– admin
– couple hours out the house with Kuba

Few clients competing this weekend across Asia, Prague, UK and USA not so many guys and girls but many time zones to contest with, let’s get to it

I currently use ppl because i find normal upper/lower really taxing at the end of the session. Also the long sessions take too much time for me.

Now i’ve switched to ppl/ul and love the ppl part, but the friday upper session is just not it for me. The saturday is fine for me, because i can take as long as i want and have real rest after.

I have 14-16 sets in my sessions, all of which to, or close to, failure
