    Great start to the week. Push at 327.8lbs

    Cardio this AM and dog walk. Client worked boxed off. Few training plans boxed tonight and a new starter plan finished. Had a few enquiries and his week to get through. Some exciting athlete to onboard.

    Session was:-

    Tricep push down x 3
    Smith JM press x 2
    Low incline smith x 2
    Flat machine press x 2
    Pec dec x 2
    Machine lateral x 4
    An crunch x 3

    I got back to 3 plate smith today for the first time in about 2 years. Not much for some. But for me a big win. That my old pec tear and shoulder issues are in a good spot. 7 reps felt easy enough room
    To run this up!

    Busy day again tomorrow with the podcast and I will be training later which should be a right laugh!!

    What is the electrolyte balance currently??

    I would focus on….

    Slightly drop GH to 8iu
    Lower sodium slightly and replace with lo salt (higher potassium)

    So maybe go 6g pink salt 4g lo salt daily for example if your total is 10g

    Make sure your magnesium intake is sufficient as that supports balance.

    Telmisartan is also a good addition as it lowers aldosterone. Which will lower sodium retention, so less water,

    This will help massively for me. Then you can start to work it back up.

    Start at 0.5mg dosing once or twice weekly and assess tolerance and go from there.

    There’s multiple dosing strategies I’ve tried once weekly, twice, 3 and even daily,

    I found that 3 x weekly was nice…..

    1.5mg weekly my max dosage was 3.5mg weekly I taper bio to this over 16-20 weeks

    One persons dosing is not what you should try you need to find what suits you and your lifestyle

    Well that’s a positive if it’s short and sharp. If your still progressing, and volume is high just be aware this probably will catch up with you soon especially if you get lean lean

    December 3, 2025 at 9:07 pm in reply to: Are other rep ranges even important?

    In reality the CNS fatigue on heavier loading in the 5-8 rep ranges aswell as neural fatigue and joint stress is the issue of always doing that lower rep range for me.

    In a 12-20 rep set you have more localised muscular fatigue…..metabolic fatigue.

    So they can be equally taxing but in different ways.

    I agree. If muscle retention is purely the goal you’re taking enough to retain muscle. If you want to trial something like running higher nandrolone then that’s completely your call to assess the response too buddy.
