If you don’t plan on using AAS again for a good while then PCT. If you’re only going to go back on after 3-4 months then cruise on as low dose as possible in my opinion.

If you decide to cruise i’d keep the test in at 300mg for another 4 weeks while you push up a bit. Then have a good break. Your cycle was mild so 20 weeks “on” isn’t likely to be life threatening.

I use it to track macros.
I adjust macros so then total calories will change. No need to track both in my opinion.

More than one way to skin a cat.
Plenty of great physiques have been built from high volume, low frequency.
I’d bet Ryan Terry’s not weak though.

Hi Sas.

How much longer are you planning on pushing up for before having a tidy up/clear out?
Is there a set plan, or are you guys just going by how it pans out body fat and training wise?
Do you have a weight that you would like to hit before prep for the Olympia starts?

Also, a Viennetta over Ben and Jerrys for sure! 🙂

Yeah i think i did myself a solid by stopping the safety squats when it popped rather than push on like i did last week. It feels not so bad today as result, where as last time i couldn’t even walk down the stairs the next day with out holding the rail.

Guess i will just try and progress my 12-16 rep set weight. Then maybe use that weight again for a second set, or reduce it and go for a 20+.

I did the same with my shoulder. Pushed on for 5-6 months through pain. By November ’16 i couldn’t even press an empty bar. Ended up needing a ultrasound guided anti inflammatory injection in the soft tissue of the joint, then a cortisone shot right into the joint under xray a couple of weeks later. Since that i said id never push on through something i deep down knew was fooked again!

I’d drop the pre carbs slightly as you’ll in essence probably have some over spill from your post workout and post post workout meals.
How you can manage AM and PM training i dont know. An AM session before work has me fuked for the day! Literally falling asleep at my desk!

[Rotties]

If im understanding correctly then surely given the above info you would take it about 60 mins pre?
That way by the time you’ve done the warm ups etc it should be in full swing, and still raised 70-90 mins later once the workout is over?

Hi Christoph.

Do you have any literature about the 30-45 mins, and being taken with fat being the most effective way?

I was told away from a meal, and more like 60-90 mins pre as being optimal?

This for Var, Tbol, Winnie etc. I think Dbol and Oxys might kick in a bit faster?

Hi Jordan. How’s the popped quad?

If you were switching from a 3 on, 1 off, to a 2 on 1 off, 1 on, 1 off split, would you increase carbs slightly on either training or rest days? Thinking being you’ll have one less training day a week so over all weekly calories will be lower?

[Rotties]

Yeah it’s annoying having popped a quad. At least we still got all the reps and weight increases in!!

Would you skip the next leg day if it’s still tender? Just grind on? Or Use sub max/fluff type stuff?

I’ve been stretching it out after my morning and evening dog walk and it feels a bit better. Will add in an extra rest day, more curcumin, stretching and stick a load of deep heat on it when training legs next. See what happens I suppose. I’ve only got a couple of weeks before I cruise so if it’s kaput I might just take a break early.

Question on curcumin. Do you take it with food or on an empty stomach? Does it matter?

[Rotties]

One would assume if you don’t have money to spend on your health, then you dont have the money to spend on things that are likely to damage it! 😉

I’ll get off my high horse now!!!

Hi Jordan. You’ve mentioned in the past that you “Pop” fibers in your quad and chest? I think this has happened to me as when on the V-Squat my left out quad literally just “popped” on my heavy set about 3-4 reps in! I ground out 8 pretty painful reps, and then my drop down, plus my other two quad moves. Eek!
After the workout my quad was on fire. Felt very tender and bruised but no actual bruising. Bit like PIP but when i squat down it still kind of pops!

What do you do to cure this kind of thing? Any tricks or tips? I’ve got legs again on Sunday, but might push it back till Monday.

Hi Corinne! When can we get the anabolic muffin recipe!?! 😉

[Rotties]

Personally, rather than add a muffin.
I’d add 50g of carbs post workout, and move the oats with breakfast to before bed.
First meal id have 8 eggs or a fatty cut of steak.
The 25g preworkout dextrin id add to the intra workout shake.
See how that goes.

[Rotties]

I’d be surprised if the diet listed is 3800 calories.
20g of nut butter a day which is 10g of fat. You list fat as 70g a day? Unless the chicken is chicken thighs? Is the rice weight is uncooked? Otherwise i doubt its 450g of carbs a day either.
Are you very active during the day? You have a lot of carbs before training and not that much during or after.
