    I agree with Kam. Time allowing I prefer fasted. But if it means your losing out on sleep, then that will be just as beneficial for fat loss so do it PWO or try to increase your NEAT

    It depends how lean you are, are you lean lean, where your need to increase cals a little for improved recovery capabilities? if the body is fatigued, stressed or hormonally down regulated then I would start to slowly increase cals over the next 2 weeks back to around maintenance then pop the drugs in.

    But personally if your not peeled out your brain and functioning well, performing and recovering well and you can hold a leaner set point for a while then I would put the drugs in first before bumping the cals and let the drugs do the work initially for the first 4 weeks create a demand for some more food. That way you will stay leaner for longer but still make some nice progression….

    Starting dose sounds sensible enough. Again hard for us to say as stack design is very individual but based on what you say feels good and what EQ does to you then its a smart move. Should be well tolerated.

    309.2lbs this AM so down a touch again today. Push on the menu. Great session pressing is improving again my elbow gave me a little bit of pain today so a slight tricep tendinitis there which I will sort with some smart programming and some shockwave.

    Posterior tomorrow and then I will do arms Sunday as it’s the show Saturday.

    Busy day with clients got a few videos to send through tomorrow for new starters. Will train in the afternoon tomorrow due to car MOT and haircut so will train local

    The work is getting done ☑️

    July 1, 2025 at 9:13 pm in reply to: Fasted Cardio

    Clare has nailed that in terms of the science and put it brilliantly.

    For me fasted cardio…..just preference

    But if it needs to be done at other times during the day then I like PWO up to 20 mins

    And between meal 5 & 6 if last meal is pro fats also if you have to split sessions up

    I’ve done 30-40 mins fasted and 20 mins between meal 5 & 6 before and worked well

    I sometimes have clients do fasted and then 20 mins PWO also if needed

    Like 30/20

    I agree I would be wanting a leg press and a stabilised squat pattern in for quads for most bang for buck quad.

    Ditch shoulder press and put another chest press in if it’s chest focused you have an incline and a side lateral

    June 30, 2025 at 7:43 pm in reply to: Early AM Training Pre Workout Meal

    I would make sure your pre-bed meal is carb-heavy also….
    
on wake I would have 1L water with
    5g creatine, 10g glutamine, pink sodium + 30-40g Clear Whey/ISO Pro + 50g performance fuel

    Sip on 30-50g Performance fuel/Sustain + 5g creatine during training + 25g MPS MAX/EAAs mid workout.

    Normal post workout meal.

    Evening guys! Its been a hot one!!!

    311.8lbs this AM

    Push today and a great sessions best my pressing has been in a long time. Which gives me some confidence that when I am ready to get back ‘ON’ I should really be able to drive some progress. But Im getting stronger regardless on 120mg/wk and just started dieting which is very very promising.

    Session was:-

    prime machine laterals (cam 3) x 3
    Low incline smith x 2
    Nautilus flat press x 2
    Seated cable fly x 2
    SA cuffed lateral x 2
    Rope extension x 4
    abs x 3

    just had meal 5 and off out for my last 1k steps as its been wayyyyyy too hot to take the dogs out other than this AM

    What is it your looking to achieve currently?

    For me your not in a range I would be concerned by. Usually by week 6-8 these symptoms should settle. Personally I would not opt for an AI

    You could slightly lower the dose if 75mg/wk sub Q is giving you that return as your supra currently not hormone replacement. But again thats not a bad thing depending on your goal.

    I would allow another 2-3 weeks before re assessing. Sometimes sub Q can spike E2 more than IM in some individuals. Again always individual.
