Hey Peter !
How many times per week would you advise checking blood pressure ?

Cheers

it seems decent depending on quality of ingredients etc [/quote]
Thanks !
And would you recommending taking that preventive when using PEDs or just if blood work indicates a need ?

Same split Farbod

Push
Pull
Rest
Legs
Rest

( you can basically bet that over the last 8-9 years , 80 percent of the time I’m on this split )

So great to see how down to earth you are and that sticking to the basics is still the most important.

Since you’ve been on this split for so long and I am seeing so many people from other forums using split that hit body parts like 2-3x per week with increasing volume and sets to crazy amount like 20-30 per week, whats your take on this style of training for advanced lifters needing to bring up certain body parts ?

[Philipp Winsel]

hey Jordan !
what would you advise a person that naturally has high levels in reference range for red blood count, hematocrit and hemoglobin wanting to start using PEDs to stay on top of health and get these markers to stay in range ?
Also, do these markers increase proportionally to the amount of mg’s being used ?

thank you

Be VERY patient with your dose escalations, I’d literally just add 50mg onto whatever your physiological TRT was initially, and introduce 100mg of primo alongside, then add a little more once we reach the first sticking point, continue to do this holding test the same, once the primo is around 250mg a week, bump your test up another 50mg, then repeat the process.

That’s a very rough outline but just shows you, we DO NOT need to be aggressive with androgen load when your history of exposure is so low to date, just creep above that physiological border first, map out 16-20 weeks of patient escalation in total, then pull back physiological for circa 8 weeks (bear in mind clearance times of the esters in play), then repeat with a tiny bit more next week as your start mg/wk.

For your blood pressure, keep some aerobic work in year round, 40mg/day telmisartan would be pretty smart if tolerable, include some organ support (vital support + love heart), and keep an eye on RBC and blood viscosity.

Hey Cal !
You wrote Telmisartan would be smart if tolerable. What do you mean with tolerable ? Did you ever have clients that didn’t get on with it?

[Philipp Winsel]

Looks about right for your dose. Double dose of love heart and some high end omegas will sort your cholesterol out.

hey Ryan ! What do you mean with “high end” omegas ?

[Philipp Winsel]

Good morning Hilly !
Do you know by what mechanism IP6 works in regulating red blood count, HCT and hemoglobin ? I heard it kind of acts like an iron chelator but I can’t find anything to the mechanism of action.

thank you bud

[Philipp Winsel]

Thanks Bud !

In terms of training volume, are you more a fan of keeping volume the same or increasing sets over the course of a mesocycle on body parts that maybe need to be prioritised ?

Thank you so much ! Yes I will do 150mg per week, my trt dose was 100mg per week and this put me at the top end of normal.

Do you think I can use Test only first without any primo ?

After how many weeks should I increase the dose each time?[/quote]

For sure, if the TRT was physiological at 100mg/wk then I’d simply escalate to 150mg/wk test only initially and run for 8-12 weeks, rinse, then increase by another 25-50mg and repeat, you’re going to get to a point where you may not have the capacity to manage E2 with test only once it’s escalated to a certain input, at that point, I would hold the test there and introduce primo, 150mg/wk initially, then titrate slowly beyond as needed patiently.

Alright ! And why primo at 150mg initially and not just 50mg for example, like an increase I would make with the test if I could tolerate more too ?

Hey Cal ! I’ll start my first blast next week after bring on TRT for 3 years. My blood pressure is slightly elevated despite being lean, clean diet and cardio. I’ll start telmisartan with the start of the blast.

Do you think I will be fine ?

[Philipp Winsel]

There’s 3 hours before you eat your meal 1 after waking at 5am. If your last meal is at 8.30pm at night, that’s nearly 12 hours with no food. I would personally eat a little sooner after waking and/or push your last meal back.

I would also utilise an intra workout drink to have during the first half of your workout.

Aside from that it looks fine to me.

I thought about fitting in a little whey shake when waking, would this be fine ?

[Philipp Winsel]

Hey Hilly, I want to reverse out of a mini cut with starting my first ever blast after being on TRT for 3 years.

How can I find my maintenance calories after the cut since weight will most likely shoot up due to increase androgens.

Cheers
