    A nice step forward today with rehab work. Felt more confident and comfortable with every movement I leg pressed deeper my squat to stand was better everything moved forward as it should so I’m happy,

    Work is super busy at the minute but I’m loving it

    ALT in isolation won’t paint the full picture.

    ALT leaks from skeletal muscle too. 5 days off may not be enough you may need a full 7 days completely off training, no posing, no cardio beyond walking to get ALT fully back in range if you train very hard, you eat high protein etc.

    More importantly, what did your GGT and ALP come back as? If those are clean, it’s almost certainly muscle, not liver.

    Liver support supps won’t alter ALT too much if the source is muscle. Vital support double dose overall lower systemic stress and supps to reduce inflammation add Glutithione then maybe 7 days full rest if your still concerned.

    retest ALT alongside GGT, ALP and CK. Clean GGT = muscle. Elevated GGT = then look at the cycle.

    I’m going to do my log now as I’ve still not managed to get to the gym for my rehab today. And I will be going there next. Yes it’s late and not ideal but gotta get it done. I’ve had a very busy weekend and today was mental with client work.

    Reverse plans, 18 check ins, bloodwork reviews and a new starter plus trying to keep a 6 week old entertained and allow pheebs to get the gym too. So my rehab will get done soon. 24 hour gym so it’s hand I can just train and come home eat shower and bed.

    Back to it tomorrow for upper at some point

    May 21, 2026 at 10:21 pm in reply to: Yohimbine

    I actually like the topical yohimbine for the US on stubborn areas. Like glutes and midsection.

    Oral I’m not a massive fan. Think there are now way more effective options.

    For a natty then I will use a small dose 5-10mg fast with caffeine. And fast for 3+ hours get a good chunk of activity boxed off

    Upper with a client today his last pump session before stage this weekend. Very happy with what we have done to get him back this week.

    24 week prep got a stomach virus at the start of the week had 2 days less than 1500kcals super inflamed. So today look how he did. Maybe not 100% but 90% with 2 days to refine the look I am very happy.

    Wedding tomorrow which should be fun but I’m that busy it’s Abit daunting that I won’t be at my laptop for the weekend

    Very good rehab session today after a busy day with check ins and podcast.

    Had quite abit of laptop work on today with new starters, consults, peak week guys and normal check ins.

    Took a step forward today in leg press strength, wall squats, hamstring curl, side lying hip thrust and seated calves

    So buzzing with that. Physio tomorrow at 5pm

    May 19, 2026 at 9:28 pm in reply to: Assesment of multi compound stack designs

    So there are no rules here. Personally I’m very similar to Louis 2-3 dependant on what the goal is. For example

    Test/mast/primo

    Test/EQ/Nandrolone

    But I have seen stack designs myself where people have used small amounts of multiple compounds to try and maximise different potential effects the drugs have.

    Example:-

    Test – 30-60mg daily
    EQ – 15-30mg daily
    Mast – 50-100mg daily
    Tren – 10mg daily

    There’s swaps in there also

    But with bodybuilding and anabolics there’s no set playbook. There’s our own anecdotes and then what we want to try to achieve a desired result or outcome.

    For me though keep it simple. The training, the food, the recovery is the main driver.
