    Another fantastic session today. Pressing has taken a big step forward

    2.5 plates smith high incline press for 9 as my back off set. Which is exciting for me as I haven’t had that over my head for years….

    So we will have progress. Bodyweight holding in the 327lbs all week

    Cardio and steps boxed off this AM work boxed off. Few little bits of work to tidy up and this evening. And then back to it tomorrow.

    Mine and Pheebs 3rd engagement anniversary tomorrow so we are going out for a meal locally, after legs!!

    Rest day today. Dog walk and cardio this AM

    Bodyweight is stable now at 327lbs

    I’m very hungry for my meals on NTD. I’m ready to eat my last meal soon before bed…..

    Busy day of client work. Been to the barbers, done the food shop. And I’m ready to get stuck back in for upper tomorrow.

    I’m really excited for training currently and really enjoying training out of s20 physique.

    I had a call from my surgeon today. My operation has been booked for 21st February next year. 10 weeks and 7 weeks before pheebs is due. So hopefully I will be back up and rehabbing and functional for the birth so I’m not a burden.

    The only thing is that I’m right in the cusp of being morbidly obese due to my BMI useless as a metric of measuring health for a bodybuilder. If my BW trends up anymore than around 330lbs they could cancel my op. So the gameplay would be to pull GH a week before the pre op. And pull food back to allow BW to drop off.

    Then I’m guessing I will just hold at maintenance until I’m ready to rock again.

    So off season end before it’s begun, but the positives. I’ll be in the way to recovery, and welcoming my little Girl into the world.

    What are your current macros buddy?

    I would keep fats low to moderate….
    Protein consistent 1.25g per lb of BW

    And usually take my first initial drop from carbs. If we could see your current setup would probably help us make a better judgement

    Great session today for posterior took some great rep progressions.

    Felt strong today, I’m just not getting greedy with load progressions. One it will end up biting me in the arse with joint issues. It will cut runway for progression short and potentially let me slip with execution.

    Filmed for the podcast this AM after boxing off cardio steps and client work so a full on day. But all good!

    Great start to the week. Push at 327.8lbs

    Cardio this AM and dog walk. Client worked boxed off. Few training plans boxed tonight and a new starter plan finished. Had a few enquiries and his week to get through. Some exciting athlete to onboard.

    Session was:-

    Tricep push down x 3
    Smith JM press x 2
    Low incline smith x 2
    Flat machine press x 2
    Pec dec x 2
    Machine lateral x 4
    An crunch x 3

    I got back to 3 plate smith today for the first time in about 2 years. Not much for some. But for me a big win. That my old pec tear and shoulder issues are in a good spot. 7 reps felt easy enough room
    To run this up!

    Busy day again tomorrow with the podcast and I will be training later which should be a right laugh!!

    December 7, 2025 at 9:42 pm in reply to: Hgh and water retention

    What is the electrolyte balance currently??

    I would focus on….

    Slightly drop GH to 8iu
    Lower sodium slightly and replace with lo salt (higher potassium)

    So maybe go 6g pink salt 4g lo salt daily for example if your total is 10g

    Make sure your magnesium intake is sufficient as that supports balance.

    Telmisartan is also a good addition as it lowers aldosterone. Which will lower sodium retention, so less water,

    This will help massively for me. Then you can start to work it back up.

    Start at 0.5mg dosing once or twice weekly and assess tolerance and go from there.

    There’s multiple dosing strategies I’ve tried once weekly, twice, 3 and even daily,

    I found that 3 x weekly was nice…..

    1.5mg weekly my max dosage was 3.5mg weekly I taper bio to this over 16-20 weeks

    One persons dosing is not what you should try you need to find what suits you and your lifestyle

    Well that’s a positive if it’s short and sharp. If your still progressing, and volume is high just be aware this probably will catch up with you soon especially if you get lean lean
