Pinned my triceps a couple of days ago and trained it right after. Super swollen and can barely bend my elbow now.

No fever or sign of infection though, so l’m not too worried as l’ve had this in my quad before and from my research it’s likely the pin just went between the muscles and didn’t absorb properly, hence causing issues at site…

On my recent blood tests my serum hgh comes back sky high but igf-1 tends to stay in the middle of the range. Confirmed with 2 tests now.
It’s ugl high which I’ve tested with janoshik in past and have gotten high serum gh and high igf1 readings with just a few months ago.
The only thing I’ve changed since is that I’ve significantly lowered my e2…

So I’ve pushed up from 240 to 265-270s over the last 17 weeks. Kept cardio with 10k steps per day mostly done a good chunk in the morning and the rest after meals / in the gym.

HIIT cardio still in at twice per week.

FBG and BP still in great spots. Appetite and body comp good too.

The last couple of weeks I can really feel my recovery taking…

I’ve tried searching the forum, but haven’t been able to find a similar answer or response.

Just wondering why a lot of pros seem to still keep t3 in once they’ve finished a diet and go back into a surplus? Shouldn’t the thyroid kick back in once back at higher food?

Is there some benefit to nutrient partitioning or other benefits I’m not…

Might be too much, but wanted to give as much info as potentially needed to give an accurate answer.

I’m 6’2” and have reached 263lbs in week 14 of this push up from 238lbs starting.

Food is up to 7.2k per day now and weight hasn’t really been budging the last 3 weeks despite calorie increases.

Fasted BG still in a good spot at 4.1-4.2 avg and…

Is there a best time to do an ecg? Does it matter whether im currently pushing up or on a cruise?

Nothing seems wrong, just want to get one done for peace of mind as I’m entering my 3rd year of PED use.

Also does anyone know any places in Melbourne Australia that do it?

Thank you!

Got in touch with him over wickr again. I’ve ordered a couple of times now and it’s always been smooth.
For my third order now he’s asking me to email on haider@anabolicpharmacist.com
Instead of going through wickr. Just hoping to confirm this is legit before I send the money and get scammed 😅
Anyone know?

Hey cal, very interested in your thoughts on masteron vs primo in an off-season stack. I understand primo will likely always be the preference here, but seeing as there is a current shortage and real stuff is hard to come by, is masteron a good alternative or would you rather bump up a nandrolone alongside test?

I’ve just read in Jordan’s… Read more

Hey Kuba,
I’m very interested and would love to be educated on the rationale of implementing clen from the get go in the mini cut here.
Wouldn’t increasing the deficit for this short 4-5 week stint bring about less fatigue and still promote better recovery than an additional drug like clen? As clen would increase your resting heart rate and… Read more

Currently nearing initially predicted tail end of my blast. Everything is feeling great, appetite in check, recovering and progressing at a decent rate – but sleep has gone to shit.

Snoring and waking loads throughout the night. Got a sleep study and cpap but having trouble getting used to it. It’s definitely bodyweight induced as I’m 5lbs… Read more

Even though you’re obviously not happy with them, I’m sure I’m not the only one that would m love to see a physique update of what you deemed too soft. The most recent one is a few pages back and still looks pretty good!

Does eating an hour after taking clen diminish its fat loss effects?
And do I need to do fasted cardio with it to reap the most benefits or is it fine to take, do my morning steps and eat roughly an hour after?

How big of a total calorie drop is this on TD and NTDs?

Great, thank you Jordan!

Tried searching the forums for something similar but couldn’t find anything and internet mainly states the obvious tips I’ve already tried.

Has anyone got any helpful tips for getting used to falling asleep and staying asleep with the cpap?

I made sure I got a got automatic pressure adjusting model, but it still seems really hard to fall asleep…

To reduce oxidative stress, improve insulin sensitivity and for anti ageing properties / other health benefits it brings

Other than digestion, would there be any other potential detriments?
I know that the Downregulation of ampk debate has been refuted, but could a higher dose hinder hypertrophy in any way?

Is there ever a benefit to dosing metformin at 1000mg split am and pm if your gut can handle it as opposed to the usual recommendation of 500mg with last meal?

I’m thinking when deep in off-season and oxidative stress would be highest

Does anyone else find that they get and stay more sore for longer during the off-season as opposed to prep?
It almost feels like my recovery is down, even though sleep, food and training are all drastically improved.
I’m still progressing lifts across the board, but coming into sessions sore. I haven’t changed frequency and volume is only up a… Read more

I dose gh am and pm, I personally wouldn’t dose it around insulin. Bio availability is better / best pm but an application does serve a purpose especially in contest prep for fat loss.

If using fast insulin don’t use gh around it.

When using lantus I personally always administer with first carb meal that’s my preference. [/quote]If… Read more

Great thanks for your input guys, really appreciate it!

What are your thoughts @Jordan_peters I know you’ve tried everything in the books so would love to hear your thoughts 😂 🙏

Hey Kuba!

I noticed you were using proviron at 50mg during prep after a consult with joe Jeffery.
I’ve heard yourself and joe talk about it being quite a good option for a safer use model.
Is there a specific reason you wouldn’t be using it during your off season now?

Should you always feel 100% recovered going into sessions?
For example on my push sessions, my top line often still feels sore going into the next push session. Yet I still progress everytime.
Should I drop volume to the point where no more soreness whatsoever is apparent on the day of the push session? Or is the normal and should I… Read more

Is it 62.5mg test e daily now instead of eod? Or is one a typo.
Went back to check the log and in your last post show update you said it was eod.
Which means you’ve now doubled your test dose, or is it still at eod and that was just a typo?

Hi Kuba,

Just listened to your podcast with joe Jeffery re. Safer use model.

I’ve been trying to dig into the research but can’t see whether nandrolone has the same effect and also acts on the glucocorticoid pathway and reduces muscle breakdown?
My question is, could npp be run interchangeably with tren in your stack design for pretty… Read more

Thank you hilly!

So the idea of running tren at low doses within your stack design to make use of its acting on the glucocorticoid is something that’s been popularised by the likes of joe Jeffery and victor black.

On average, much water weight gain is to be expected when first introducing GH?

Doing 1.5 iu am, 1.5iu post workout and 1.5 iu pm

Here is the final bit of the results. To add:
I’ve been eating very low fat and prioritising carbs this mini cut, as I just felt much more energetic on it – maybe that impacted the hdl?

Also started loading melanotan 2 a few days prior to this test

I’ve been cruising on 150mg test e p/w for 6 weeks and then dropping it down to 125mg p/w for the final 6 weeks of this total 12 week cruise.

Finished my previous cycle at 350 test 600 primo and 105 tren p/w . No ai

Hey Kuba,
Probs jumping the gun here, but would love to hear you talk about your plans in terms of stack design for the coming off-season with Luke Miller. Just finished your podcast with him / John Jewett and was left very intrigued!

Sounds like you’ll be using a lot less test, a lot more dht derivative (masteron) and a lot less (if any)… Read more

What would be a good general ratio here in your opinion? Like 175 test, 210 mast and rest npp?

Been searching the forum / internet for a definitive answer but couldn’t find one.

I train at night pre bed due to work and have read a lot about metformin also possessing a lot of anti inflammatory / anti oxidative stress properties.

So would I be better taking it in the morning, further away from training or stick to pre bed dosing?

What… Read more

Yup I’d always only take it pre bed. Sorry I should’ve put this in the top of the post, but what if I train late in the day though? I feel strongest then and work all day. Should I be weary of taking it too close to training. Generally finish my session 3 hours pre bed time

I’ve been reading into melatonin supplementation. As it combats oxidative stress, should it be taken as far away from training as possible? Similar to antioxidants?

How come you now think your off-season was suboptimal?
I thought you were really happy with the progression of this off-season?
Sure there are always things that can be improved upon reflection, but we’re there any major errors that you now think you made?

Hey Kuba,

How come you’re now preferring smith pressing as opposed to converging machine presses as your first compound on push days?

Do you just feel them better?

I thought converging machine presses would offer just as much stabilit, a larger overall range of motion and tend to get hard in the short, so it’s best to do them first as you’ve said… Read more

Hey Kuba,

I understand the need to rotate exercises, but how come you’ve completely the single arm Kassem pull downs you were such a fan of? You used to have them in pretty much every pull session.

I know you’ve now got access to the nautilus pulldown, but do you feel the prime dual arm pull down is better than single arm kassem?

Hey AJ,
Just flicking back through your log and noticed your last devolume was over 2 months ago and not even for a full rotation. Seems like you’re managing fatigue so so well this prep!

If you were to de volume, do you drop your steps and up your food?

Cheers

Hey Kuba, just flicked back through your log for your most recent devolume phase.

You mentioned a 60% volume reduction in sets and a few high days to drop the fatigue – but what about steps / cardio?

Did you keep them the same or drop them as well? If so, by what amount roughly?

Hey Kuba, how much primo are you running now and what did you start at? I went back all the way through your log and only saw you mention “stefan thinks we might add primo if all is well” but never saw an update of the full cycle.
Also what ester primo is it?

Loving the progress and following along. Motivating me daily!
