Yes Big Dog.

Congrats on the gender reveal – she’s going to have you wrapped around her little finger 😂

On the balance point mate, it’s really difficult to achieve, I’ve found for me when looking at career vs my time vs family time I just accept and communicate with loved one’s that at different times the balance will need to shift.

In those moments/weeks when career/profession has to take up the majority of my time, I carve out (schedule) specific activities with loved ones whether that be a coffee, dinner out, walk etc that is a non negotiable – so whilst they don’t get a lot of your time, they do get your full attention for the time that you set aside.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, your working to provide a better life for them.

Regards

Matt

And thankyou. She’s already got me wrapped round her little finger 😂

I agree so would watch the tutorials. There’s not going to be anything that’s optimal here. So just pick what you like, that you can progress, recover and get plenty of bang for buck

Rather then in the morning and first meal ? [/quote]
As I eat my last meal around 8:30pm and bed around 9:30pm it’s away from my last meal and then doesn’t have any interference from food, imkike a coffee in a morning when I wake up before cardio. So I don’t want any interference here.

So constant absorption, fewer interactions, more stable thyroid levels.

Metformin mainly few GI related issues for me and better fasting BG control

It seems to have been a mental couple of weeks. Where I feel I’ve been a little out of routine. Work has been busy, we have had a lot on interns of baby schedules, new car, and I feel like my days have been shorter so travelling to train in derby hasnt been feasible with my workload.

But….im getting on top of it now. Couple new starters to set up over the weekend snd 4/5 new training plans and I will be back on track.

Great upper session today at s20 regardless

Machine lateral
Incline machine press
Flat machine press
Standing cable fly
D handle pull-down
SA machine row
Upper back row

2 sets each 8-15 reps…..

Felt great!

What I have found a little more difficult is being the best coach I can be, but also being more selfish to be the best bodybuilder, and then also giving the people close to me enough time. It’s a tough balance and I’m still working to find the right balance for all to progress how I want.

This is just about getting started and seeing how the body responds.

As hilly suggests 4 x weights session a week.

Daily cardio & step target.

Set your Maintenance calories. Eat 1g protein per 1lb of BW and make the rest up from carbs and a few healthy fats.

Get your sleep in, drink 4-5 litres of water

Train hard and enjoy it and see how you respond buddy.

Your test result is capped at the top of the test readings. Standard lab tests can’t read supraphysiological levels, so it’ll show 40 nmol/L no matter if you’re on 200 mg or 500 mg.
<br data-start=”302″ data-end=”305″> The jump in estradiol most likely means your mast is actually test or partly test, because mast doesn’t aromatise it shouldn’t push E2 up like that. The high free test also lines up with you running more total androgen than you think.

So either get bloods pulled from a diff lab. Check the source of your Mast and get some lab results.

maybe switch to primo or a little EQ to conbtrol E2 if you start feeling like there are some symptoms.
