If you email customer service , we can send you the coA for it

Thank you Jordan! I have filled in the contact form on the site before, but I didn’t get a reply. Hence why I asked here. I will send them an email

I would add an intra workout shake, increase the meal sizes and skip meal 6 so you can sleep earlier. 6.5h is not a lot a night…

I personally would continue on with the split you’re doing (U/L?) until you’re in a place where you can start pushing training, food and in general are in a healthy enough spot to do so!

After that have a think about what YOU personally want to do. Are you a little bored with training? Might trying DC make you feel a bit more excited to train? Is there potential in the long run for further progress? Absolutely give DC a go again seeing as you have a bit more experience now. You’ll be able to gain a little more personal opinion on it too now. I personally REALLY enjoyed fortitude. Have a look into that, some people love it some find it’s not for them.

There isn’t really a right or wrong way to go about things between the splits you’ve mentioned, just your preference!

Thank you Maddy. I am currently doing FB(was doing U/L before that). I will finish up the cut and then when I have more food like you recommended I will start with the DC 2 way split. Thanks a lot!

Bump

Although I think I will just try the DC 2 way split I would still love someones input on this. If I check the requirements for DC on intense muscle I can check them off

Thank you Allison and Clare. This is definitely the end of the ‘prep’, only 2 more weeks to go. I will up the magnesium, take some additional electrolytes around the training window and supplement taurine! Hope it improves from here🙏

Thank you Adam. I weigh my salt and have been eating the same amount of salt and lo salt(high potassium salt) for months now.

Water intake is also kept the exact same and is tracked 6L a day

Magnesium I take 2x a day which gives me 300mg and I get 50mg from dairy products as well. Don’t know if in total this would be enough

Keeping muscle in a diet is easy until it comes to getting peeled , you don’t need the same mg

Yes you may deflate a little , but that’s just visual , it’s not muscle , eg re add the dose and in 3 weeks the visual has changed , you haven’t regained any lost muscle , as you didn’t lose it , you just adjusted the visual

So for the majority , I would diet on less

This changes when competing , then I would start a little lower as you will likely have had a clear out befroe starting anyways , so can re add doses below peak and then leave yourself somewhere to go

If you have got truly legit , that’s when can have a break as food will protect anything from being lost further until it’s grow time .

So some hypothetical numbers

1000mg total push up , then cruise on 200mg after push , then start ti diet on 500 , increase max to 700 , then after the diet go back to the 1000 as you start to push up

Prep

1000 push up , 200 cruise , prep starts on 500 and increases upto 1000 , after prep 200 again , then once ready to start growing start back at 500 and rebuild again to 1000

Extremely clear, thanks Jordan!

Hi Ben, blast is just a term used for taking a higher dose of PEDs compared to being on cruise. So technically you’re blasting for bulk and cut. Anything higher than a cruise dose is a blast.

I would say get blood work done to give you an idea of what is happening inside and based on that dictate your new “blast” dose.

It’s always ideal to focus muscle gain during a caloric surplus. Yes you will grow during cut tiny bit but you’ll grow more with more food.

But blood work will dictate all this. Also your bf levels will dictate how much of that gear you are really putting to use then just wasting away with side effects.

Hi Thanks for your answer! I understand the terms blasting and cruising. My question was more about when the best time would be to utilize the higher exposure to drugs and when it would be better to go back on TRT(regardless of bloodwork etc). But from your message it seems like you would say it is better to have more blasts during a bulk since you will grow more muscle there obviously. But then the follow up question would be, wouldn’t we want to retain as much muscle as possible during our cut, therefore a blast would also be useful there?

For the next part. All things being perfect bloodwork and bf% wise, since we are constantly cutting and bulking, where should we place our recovery time with a cruise. Is it better to do this at the beginning of a bulk when not much drugs are needed yet because of the influx of food, better at the beginning of a cut when we don’t have much trouble retaining muscle, or should I plan in some maintenance time where I also am on maintenance calories and do a cruise there?

Hope this makes the question a bit more clear:)
