Great lower session today – took some progressions across the board again today. Hack squat felt better again. I tried 1 set pendulum but felt a little alien I much prefer the Hack and leg press.
Rets day tomorrow and peaking a client for his show. Then upper on sunday. Should get to spend some nice time with the girls each afternoon too

Yes, it changes it, but I wouldn’t try to time it
Oral Anadrol absorbs fast and peaks within a few hours, so your 3 hour window makes sense. Injected in oil, it releases more slowly, so you get a later, flatter peak, You can’t line it up with training the way you can with the oral.
treat it like a daily background dose and compare how you feel against the oral over a week or two. Id just do my shot in the AM with my other injectables

Welcome bud!! But I echo what the guys have said makes complete sense to run fully body twice per week
Heavy lower, light upper
Heavy upper, light lowerin terms of rep ranges then you are covering all bases for me there

MemberNovember 9, 2026 at 6:34 pm in reply to: Starting from scratch – ACL & Meniscus recoveryNot the most ideal start to the week…..I ended up in A & E at 10:30pm sunday night after show day at derby which was a log day as it was over running by like 2 hours.
Had a client win and a 3rd place also so a good day for the team.
But then I got home and went to the loo and ended up having a big haemorrhage from an internal pile that came out and ruptured. The toilet was literally full of blood and it was dripping dripping down my leg – my shorts were soaked through went to A & E but it was a 6 hour wait minimum. I have ended of seeing a doctor/surgeon today for a full examination and a prostrate check (not pleasant and painful) but no surgery required as it had already started healing. Thery popped it back in and applied cortirisng cream, cleaned it and I have got some medication for pain, and keeping stools oft for a couple of weeks
If it happens again in the next couple of weeks it will require surgery.
So yeh no training today and not much sleep last night so tomorrow should be a better day being back into routine

As Clare said what is the issue…..
But on the other note yes you can 100% grow legs with leg extensions and leg press variations. Thats all I did for years, same as Sasan I believe and there both our strongest body parts

If you have managed your off season well and your not too soft then I think 20-24 weeks including a 6-8 week pre prep phase is adequate time to get stage lean.
But its very very person dependant. Natural or enhanced? Mentally for me anything longer than this starts taking a toll on the body and mind. Then you start resenting the fact your in prep. So be as efficient with your time as possible for me
