    If you absolutely insist , I would at the MAX run 300mg total anabolics for 14-16 weeks for an offseason , so that would be 150-200 test + 100 mast for example . But as I said above , anyone sensible would not advise this at all . Please be sure your heart scans are good , your blood work is good .

    And , yes i’m plus 60, but i would like to compete another time before retiring. And i will. Ty jordan

    Is this for you ? As your over 60 right? I think the sensible thing is just be extremely mindful that absolutely not a single one of us on here will be running cycles at 60 , that I am certain of and will all just be on trt only as we will be trying to live longer , not shorter !

    I recently finished my PCT, and in one month I’ll be on a cycle with test master primo. But now I don’t take anything. So I was thinking use some test some gh and some oxa during this month, like a trt.

    What do you currently take ? / have you taken in the last few years ?

    Thanks so much Clare for your great response.

    It’s considered a natural ‘fat loss’ supplement. However, it isn’t a shortcut or magic pill, you still need to have everything else in place, but it can have a mild effect on stubborn areas of body fat.

    These areas tend to have more alpha-2 adrenergic receptors which make it difficult for the body to efficiently burn the fat in that area. Yohimbine HCL can temporarily inhibit those receptors and free up stored fat for use.

    It also improves blood flow to these areas.

    Once the fatty acids have been freed, they can be ‘burned’ during cardio. However, Yohimbine HCL doesn’t work when insulin is high, so timing matters. Taking it fasted, pre cardio is the best time to get the best results.

    The effective dose is 0.2mg per kg of body weight, but start low at 0.2mg to assess tolerance and gradually build up to your max dose.

    Some people find it to be effective, some people don’t get on with it and have negative side effects, some people don’t notice much.

    Hi. My currently now is seated ham machine , quad extensions, leg press, hack squat, ham curl 1 leg.1 or 2 warm up sets and 2 all sets for each exercise

    Hey,

    What’s your current training split?

    You could do more of a quad focused leg day but still include a hamstring isolation and then tie hamstrings in with back (posterior session)

    Hiya Nicolas, Kamara and Chloe make some really good points to consider. Please do outline what you’re currently doing right now for legs/your split so we can suggest further

    Thanks dude perhaps the problem is there are 1 hour and a half to take my solid meal after the shake.

    your drinking fast carbs to spike insulin and as we know what goes up must come down. your then not eating soon enough post this shake and running low BG

    you simply need to eat your next solid meal sooner

    Great idea. Thanks

    Just eat a carb and protein meal instead. If you can’t do that then do the whey and then an hour or so later do the meal

    Thank you very much

    The fat from the almond butter will be slowing down the digestion. I would opt for a whole food meal such as white meat/fish and rice post workout, or if you want whey, then add some cream of rice and banana/berries instead of a carb powder in a shake.

    Yes thanks for your time.

    I would always have actual food for your post workout. You can have whey but adding in carb powder (which is normally used for intra) isn’t the best option imo.

    What are your symptoms?

    I would monitor blood glucose too.

    Ok ok. I suppose cor is a better option that almond butter.

    It is probably as it is a quick digestive carb and spiking bloods sugars quickly then dropping them

    Try eating something instead of drinking it . Cor is a good option

    Hi. WAXYMIZE. A fast carb source.

    Hiya Nicolas, i’m not sure what you’re referencing when you mention ‘waxy’. What are you eating before this session? Do you have anything (an intra) during your session?
