    Hey guys a long day but a great day today!

    317lbs on the nose so another half a lb down today. So weight is moving nicely. Cal is happy. We have increased steps to 12k daily now and no further changes. If weight drops again tomorrow we may throw in a higher meal. Just to manage fullness.

    We aim to increase androgen load over the next couple of weeks so this should see a nice bump up in fullness.

    Today I went for an ECG and echocardiogram at the blood lab Manchester. I will have the report next week but speaking to the cardiology specialist my heart looks healthy. All valves are functioning well, my heart size is slightly larger than average (expected) but still very proportionate to my body and muscle mass. My walls are a touch thicker than normal which is perfectly acceptable and expected in trained individuals it should be 1.2mm mine was 1.5mm so nothing crazy. And my ejection fraction rate (how well your left or right ventricle pumps oxygenated blood with each beat) was well within normal ranges. So positive all round in this sense

    Then on to FLF to train pull with Oscar and Joe we got after it and it was a great session.

    Stiff arm pulldowns x 3
    SA prime pulldown x 2
    Watson TBAR row x 2
    SA Atlantis row x 2
    Prime bar upper back pulldown x 2
    Rear delt flyes x 2
    SA Atlantis preacher x 3
    SA DB x 3

    PB on Watson TBAR 5.5 x 10 and 4 x 22 the energy was awesome. Oscar brings the best out in you. He gives you confidence in your own ability.

    I think you can still keep growing. It depends your current set up also but you can defo keep pushing.

    Stay in a surplus. Keep some cardio in. Be smart with food choices, training and recovery. Don’t try and push too hard too fast.

    Legs dusted. Progress across the board on every movement today. Felt very solid. Green Banded pendulum and black banded precor leg press felt great.

    Being tall it really hits hard in the lengthened range of each rep and saves me having to put daft amounts of load on. Session went as follows:-

    Seated calves 105 x 25, 125 x 20, 145 x 12
    Lying ham 77+10 x 13+1, 68 x 16
    pendulum 6.5pps x 13 (green band)
    Leg press 10pps x 12 (black bands)
    Leg press 10pps x 16
    Leg extension 77 x 15, 68 x 20 + partials
    Adductors 4 x 22 tempo 4:4 slight tight adductor
    Walking lunges x 2 lengths BW

    I like this set up bud. Nothing wrong with it.

    Push
    Pull
    Off
    Push
    Legs
    Off

    2 rotations, I think you can get more out of adding a delt and chest top up as a second push rather than a pure arm day.

    If you really wanted to increase arm volume you can add before legs too. They recover quickly

    These won’t be fake bud. It’s because your taking then out of the blister packs as kam stated. The condensation, air, or other pills in the pot will be causing this.

    Because you’ve just added 4.5 x the amount of anabolics you were on?

    So the ability to synthesise protein is more efficient, glycogen uptake, cell swelling, intracellular fluid. Plus slight inflammation from injecting Anabolics. This is completely normal with the circumstances you have described buddy.

    May 26, 2022 at 2:56 pm in reply to: PCT help

    Hey Chris,

    I don’t think you need a PCT with this dosage. As Alex states nolva would do the job.

    are you looking to come off an stay off?

    Or are you looking to go back on? If so personally I wouldn’t be looking to PCT I would drop down to a TRT dose 125/150mg for 6-8 weeks and run bloodwork.

    Then make a decision from there

    I agree with the above…..I always favour a higher protein approach. But this comes
    Down to digestion. And also the protein sources used

    Hey buddy stick with sources that digest well for you.

    Pre and post cereals, COR, bagels, fruit and jam

    Then make your other meals up of rice, oats, potatoes, bagels COR as long as all these digest well I see no issue in including them all

    May 23, 2022 at 7:33 pm in reply to: Cardio in off season

    Hey buddy, I always like to keep a baseline level of cardiovascular exercise in for some of the reasons you mentioned, appetite, digestion, not too much from a body composition stand point, but it does help.
    I utilised HIIT cardio for a period to help with heart heath and fitness when taking higher rep sets until my body weight reached a level where recovering from HIIT was potentially detrimental to my performance in sessions.
    Cardio on rest days plus your least demanding weight sessions in always a good start. For example 4 x 20mins low impact plus 1 x HIIT session, depending on fitness levels 5 – 10 rounds 20s on 40s off (assault bike/battle ropes/stepper).
