I think daily injections will sort this….if not something to control E2 very mildly 50-200mg primo or 12.5mg aromasin twice weekly and re assess

I would just take anything which helps with inflammation away from
Training if you training in the evening take in the morning. And vice versa the main things is consistency

It’s great to have a plan. But looking too far in front can literally derail those plans and not have you focus on the now. Which I know all too well.

I wouldn’t rush this process and try and enjoy the journey. Start with a deficit and pulling off some BF that’s sustainable. If you need to add in Reta to help with this layer then do that. Once you have got to a point you are happy with then you can start adding calories back in.

But just take your time

Rest day today. Woke up with a very sore elbow/tricep tendon. From arms yesterday, I think I’ve tweaked something or just aggravated my tendon, not the run I wanted to be having to be fair. But it is what it is.

In for upper tomorrow I will just be sensible with tricep movements and pressing.

Back garden is coming along very well. But lads got rained off today. But buzzing for a new back garden.

Hey bud I really like Hilly’s option here, ditch the biscoff

Whey protein
Oat flour/rice flour
Honey
Dates/banana
Flaxseed, olive oil, avocado oil

Amounts will be based on your calorie goals.

If you want to add an extra 1000kcals to the diet

150g carb
45g protein
25g fat

Use the amounts you need from the sources to get there

Big dog ❤️

First of all, I want you to know this is coming from someone who has been following your log and your journey for almost five years now. I have seen the ups, the pushes, the extremes, the discipline, and the mindset it takes to live at that level. I’ve seen that pro card on your hand and you crying with Pheb backstage ❤️

So.. what I am about to write is not superficial.

What you wrote is not the voice of someone who is lost. It is the voice of someone who is standing in the middle of a very real transition.

You are a pro. And that matters more than people think. Being a pro means your identity has been built around performance, control, direction, and execution. When surgery is coming, when rehab stretches far ahead, and when the body forces you to slow down, the mind naturally runs too far into the future. That is where the feeling of being “lost” comes from. Not because there is no direction, but because the old one cannot be followed right now.

On top of that, you have a child on the way. Even when it is a beautiful thing, it rewrites priorities at a deep level. It changes how you look at risk, time, and responsibility. You are not just adjusting training or bodyweight, you are adjusting who you are becoming. Anyone going through that would feel unsettled at times.

You need space to recalibrate, to accept a slower tempo, and to rebuild a direction that fits the man you are now, not only the athlete you have been.

But..

This phase is NOT empty time. It is foundational time. How you move through this period will shape the athlete you return as, but also the father and the man you will be when things ramp up again. If you treat this as preparation rather than waiting, you come out the other side stronger and more grounded than before.

You are making decisions that reflect awareness, responsibility, and long term vision. From where I am standing, that is NOT being lost at all.

Just my POV

Ludo, this message means a hell of a lot, I’ve read it twice and it’s the most meaningful way someone has broke things down for me.

Thankyou 💙

You have a tear in acl and you walk and train normaly ? Or just patella dislocation and what cause you this probleme ,can give me a name for watching this op in youtube.i have patella dislocation too thanks

Is like you have a patella dislocation a lot ? And now you walk normal and traun ?

What name of operation you want to do and what probleme nathan ?

Solid posterior session today. Another very busy day in the laptop.

I have pulled my food down a little

Today to start bringing bodyweight down with my operation closing in. I see no need to be sat at this bodyweight for another 6 weeks so a good 10-15lbs can come back off, It’s not serving me for recovery, mobility, and just being functional. Especially with baby due shortly too.

I know I can push back up quickly and I’m responsive when required.

4 days is suiting me in the gym aswell getting a lot from the sessions currently and progressing nicely.

Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (left knee) + bone-tendon-bone autograft (left side) + lateral extra-articular tenodesis (left knee)

Basically 2 in one a ACL revision reconstruction plus an extra procedure to Stabilise my knee on the lateral side[/quote][/quote]

Sorry bud? Can you repeat the question[/quote][/quote]
I have a failed ACL reconstruction from a surgery I had 19 years ago following a ruptured cruciate and a torn medial meniscus. Old football injury…..

So my surgery is an ACL revision. Plus the procedure to stabilise my knee on the lateral side. They are using patella tendon. I also have small tears in both lateral and medial meniscus.

Yes I can walk and train but I’m in pain daily.

“Diet starts tomorrow” that old chestnut. But I will be starting to pull down as of tomorrow before my surgery.

I’ll be honest I’ve felt a little lost these last few weeks. In terms of what I am doing and where I’m going, probably looking too far infront. When I have a long road ahead in terms of my recovery from surgery.

But whatever being 330+ lbs and on 1700mg of gear isn’t serving me right now for rehab purposes.

I forgot how it feels once you get back up to this BW and it’s hard. When there’s potentially a very long layoff.

So I’ve made the call to pull some bodyfat and bodyweight back off this next 6 weeks before surgery. And then I will hopefully keep coming down and be more mobile and fitter to aid with recovery.

I’m going to run things myself for the next few months as I don’t see the need for elite level coaching right now.

So set up will be….

Test E 250mg/wk
GH 5iu
SLU-PP 332 300mcg
MOTS-C 1mg daily
Reta 1mg/wk (to start)
Klowblend (maintenance dose)
Telmisartan 40mg

Steps 9000 daily
Cardio 4 x 20 mins spin bike

I have successfully used in the 2025 season with multiple clients in a prep setting a few all the way to stage with no issues and the look was dry and hard,

Others I removed at around 12 weeks out and adjusted stack design.

It depends on your response to it. In multiple ways. Mentally, bloodwork, hormonally, and the look. If you have never used before in a prep. I would always test in a diet phase first. Unless you have no other options

Exactly what the others have said whatever works best for you….

Some prefer fasted morning cardio, some prefer steps and then cardio PWO whatever fits your schedule the best as long as it doesn’t take away from your recovery

Are you still on same cycle nath?

Cycle will be changing as from Monday bud. I’ve had to re think a few things moving forward with the surgery and what’s serving me the right purposes for now.

330+ lbs is not and 1700mg/wk is currently not serving me the purpose I need. Especially with a newborn coming. And a long road of rehab ahead of me.

So I have a few decisions to make
