    Evening guys. My log didn’t post today but to update you…..

    Leg day yesterday and a fantastic session at Musclefactory!

    dual low bicep curl x 3

    SA hammer x 2

    calves 120 rep rest pause on 2 machines

    adductors x 2

    seated ham curl x 2

    leg extension x 2

    double banded squat press x 2

    SL leg press x 2

    Im in a tangle today……

    Little bump in androgen load this week

    Test E 750mg/wk

    Primo 900mg/wk

    Parabolan 150mg/wk

    Lantus 30iu

    Novarapid 10iu around training window

    GH 8iu TD 6iu NTD

    proviron 25mg

    T4 100mcg

    telmisartan 40mg

    Metformin 500mg

    L-carnitine 300mg preWO

    calories have remained the same at 7k on TD and just under 6k NTD cal has added a high calorie meal every 5 days at meal 5 which is my push day ready for pull. which will be 60-80 sushi rolls or a chicken shish kebab and large fries + cookie/muffin which will take the total to over 8k on that day. That will not be a good day!

    weight has stuck around 340lbs for a while now. I ran out of GH a week ago which i think has resulted in 3-5lbs dropping off (waiting for 10 pfizer pens) so as soon as GH goes back in i expect weight to rise quite quickly.

    Im having my bloods done in 4 weeks. Which Im expecting them to not be too sparkling as this will be the most toxic my body will be due to food, drugs, bodyweight and training. We have this escalation planned until the end of September so we just keep cracking on for now!

    Hey Buddy,

    Im very much in line with what the guys are saying here. Something is a little off. Weather thats cardiovascular conditioning so your recovery capabilities are down. Or you are amping yourself up to the point pre set that your mentally and physically taxing yourself to the point where you need excessive rest periods.

    This needs addressing buddy. weather thats reduction of volume, increasing CV fitness, Changing which lifts you focus on progression and maybe some isolation exercises you go with more metabolic work with less rest to shorten the sessions

    Evening guys weight is hovering around 340lbs Ive dropped a little due to not having any GH for around 4-5 days waiting for 10 pens to land. so this should see a few lbs of fullness return. Im not worried about weight not moving up as Im getting more comfortable at the weight and not forcing it in on is ok with me for now.

    Appetite is holding, training is good. So we just keep ticking the boxes. Rest day today plenty of client work and sorting a few errands.

    Im going to run mid cycle bloods in 4 weeks as this will probably be my worst position. My heaviest, most toxic in terms of food consumption and drug load. Less cardiovascular fitness than in prep. So I dont expect them to be stellar but I want to assess what I can do better. As my HDL is always in the dirt genetically. But running primo for basically 2 years straight wont be assisting this.

    So we shall see where I am and look to implement any changes needed.

    Night guys

    Mate eat whichever rice you like the best, and which ever suits your current goals.

    Does one fill you more? If it does and your in a diet then great. Is one lighter and easier on the digestion and your in an off-season then great run with that.

    Uncooked weight gram for gram the carb content will be literally the same. So just eat which rice you like. Don’t overthink it

    Back in with push today. Great session. Shoulders are feeling a little mashed up due some manual work and maybe some shockwave this week and that should stay on top of things

    Back in for pull tomorrow! Off to bed I’m wiped

    July 14, 2023 at 6:23 pm in reply to: To add a fourth rotation of push pull legs?

    I agree with Oscar fully. 4 rotations from 2 different gyms is way too much for me personally.

    you are not hitting the same rotation if you do this for a long time, in which case skill acquisition will suffer massively. thats why progress is stalling. The more you do a movement the better you get at it.

    I would stick to 2 rotations 1 for each gym. Then when an exercise stalls swap a movement or try to address why the movements are stalling

    evening guys! fantastic leg day today. Back in with a squat (pendulum) and it felt great from the first set so worked up to 7 plates for a set of 13 felt really strong and solid.

    Rest day tomorrow and Saturday as Im travelling down to a client show tomorrow to peak him and make sure he hits the weight cap. We were 0.6kg under this AM with hopefully another drop tomorrow to take him down a touch more for a 1kg variant tomorrow. So we will more than likely take on minimal water 8 hours pre registration.

    the idea will be to load half of the days fluid in from 5am to 8am and then fast water & food until registration. This will drive diuresis and should have us staying under for the cap. Then we can get a litre in with some hydration formula and sodium straight after the registration and start to back load finishing off the rest of the days fluid intake until bed. This should see us dry and full for the morning. 2 meals in pre stage and we are ready to rock!

    Ive prepped clients before who have had to make a cap, but never have they been this close to the cap when this peeled. So it’s a daily, even hourly fine tuning at this stage. Its been a great prep and a fantastic learning one that has put some more tools in my tool box as a coach and great data taken for future preps!

    Awesome progress here buddy.

    You have built some nice tissue and have a nice balance. If you have the right mindset and work ethic then there’s potential for a ton of progress here. There’s no saying how far you can go. But just enjoy the process and keep doing what your doing.

    You sound like you have a good plan to pull some more off…then revers back up slowly to the end of the year.

    My advice for your first show. Enjoy it and get as peeled as you can! Ryan knows what he’s doing and Im sure he will get you there

    Push today, successful session, took some progressions on my big lifts which is good for me on push, as my niggles always impact load for me. But i felt safe and strong today so i took it. Always work in a slightly higher rep range for push like 10-20 and it feels good.

    Crucifix laterals x 3
    shoulder press x 2
    flat chest press x 2
    cable fly x 3
    db laterals x 3
    prime splitter pushdown x 3
    D-handle dual cable curl x 3
    rope hammer curl x 3
    rope extension x 3

    finished off some work……Now back at it again tomorrow
