Evening guys!

Day 5 hernia recovery.

Another day of progress! 25 mins on the spin bike 85 RPM 13.5km covered! And 24 mins dog walk!

The wound has been itching today like mad which is a good sign it’s healing.

GH, BPC 157 & TB500 doing the job!

Will continue this set up for a few more days….

Tenderness is still apparent around the area but easing daily. I can brace my core now better when moving so big positives

Plenty of work done and had a nice coffee stop with Pheebs

Peace & love

Hey bud I agree here. This would look to be fatigue or the start of an illness….

Rest up, stay hydrated. Take a few days off training. And re assess

day 4 hernia recovery!

2 x 25 minute walks today with Arnie. Which were a success. So Im very happy. Inflammation reduced, swelling reduced, pain reduced.

Tender still yes, as expected, discomfort a little, mobility getting better!

Been to buy some new walking boots and finalise a new kitchen design also today so quite productive swell as all client work boxed off!

Add in the supplements that have been recommended above 100%

This can be sorted and improved with a few adjustments but there are plenty of other variables that could have caused an acute response.

I’d leave the Dbol on the next cycle but anything up to 100 U/L isn’t a massive cause for concern it just needs managing and keeping on top of all other health markers

Evening guys!

Day 3 hernia recovery. Little tender and sore as expected no bruising is coming out. A little tight and swollen but movement is good and pain is lower than expected.

I’ve been for a stroll today. Had a coffee with the fam, big week with clients this week leading into the first shows of the season and I’m buzzing for everything to kick off!

I will attempt a little dog walk tomorrow and even try some light cardio on the bike in the next couple of days!

I always like a baseline amount of direct cardio for fat loss regardless. But again a lot will depend on your starting position and preference….

Hernia operation went well!

Morning guys….so Friday was ok I’m terms of recovery, the pain worsened through the day. Due to the bruising coming out, and drugs fully wearing. I probably tried to move around more than I should have too. But I wanted to test the water .

So today will be more chilled. Pheebs is out posing all day so I won’t be doing much anyway!

Some work at the laptop and just focus on recovery

Peace & love

The main aim for muscle building for me is being stable, safe and being able to connect and control the movement and get strong with it.

If you like them then run them, if you have no preference then my preference is a machine or a smith bud

Hernia operation went well!

Still feel abit spaced out. Pain hasn’t been too bad so far. I think it may get a little
Worse tomorrow. I’m trying not to have much Pain relief just 500mg paracetamol so far. Just so I know what feels comfortable. For me pain is there for a reason and if it’s masked too much then you don’t know how far and how fast to push things movement wise

I’m more mobile than I thought. Which is all positive.

I have to leave the dressing on 24-36 hours then switch to a waterproof dressing then I can have a shower and see what the wound is like

All in all a success so time to start recovery

Peace & love

I echoe what Hilly has said here….Im not a fan of oral only cycles for one, and with Anavar suppressing FSH & LH but with no aromatisation you will drive down E2, And this is the main concern for me. So potentially add in 10mg Dbol, but again i just dont like the oral only approach.

I also dont think you need to run 100mg, are you against IM admin?
