My triceps were always crap. Weak, and genetically just a bit lacking.
One thing that’s really helped is just trying to get them really strong. CGBP 3 1/2 plates a side for reps, dip with 60kg hanging from you, and do heavy some overhead work. All with good form and your triceps shouldnt lag. -
I used the muscle rage mk677 at 10mg before bed for 16 weeks when cutting. The water held of just 10mg was noticeable so I’d hate to think what 30mg would feel like.
Can’t say I felt much benefit from it but it may have helped heal an injury i had (slightly). It did improve sleep for the first few weeks but this benefit soon fizzled out.
Probably not worth the money.

Hi Jordan.
Lots of deloading questions being asked at the moment so thought id add to them. In the deload video you said that you normally wait too long before backing off. How long is too long though? When it gets the the point where you can feel niggles really building up, and you generally feel drained, but if you were still hitting PBs, would you still back off for a few days? Just resting for 3-4 days on slightly above rest day calories? Or would you still advise to keep pushing through until things start to stall?
I personally haven’t deloaded in 9 weeks now and feel pretty beaten up. I keep pushing as PBs are still flying and i’m not in a place where i cant workout around my “niggles”. Not sure if i should quite while i’m ahead so to speak?

Hi Sas,
I had a nasty shoulder injury back in May last year. Stupidly, i basically just ground on trying to train around it until November when pretty much every pressing movement caused a lot of pain. All i could do was Dips, and couldn’t even press an empty bar or 20 kg dumbbells. I was getting physio, deep tissue and it only made a slight difference. After i went to see a new physio, he said straight away i needed an ultra sound guided steroid injection to reduce the inflammation. It worked, but i needed two a month apart. One into the soft tissue surrounding the joint, then another under x-ray straight into the joint its self. I was only off the gym for 7-10 days and then started to work weights back up. I can now press 95% pain free and have got my incline bench up from an empty bar to 140 kg for reps in 5 months. Could be worth asking your specialists about if its an inflammation type injury?
Also on a different note, i saw on the gram you have a big bowl of oats post workout instead of cereals. I thought the fat content and low GI meant oats weren’t preferred PWO?

As has been said Go Nutrition, Bulk Powders and My Protein are all in the same kind of league.
In fact i bet 90% of there products come from the same factories in Europe.
I just shop at which one has the lowest price to offer at the time. They’re all competing for the same business so always a deal to be had. -
Jordan does eat a load of protein, and he also admits to having very poor digestion a lot of the time.
I would be interested to know if he thinks they could be related, and if so, why, or why not? -
I always used 1.5g/lb as a rule which put me around 280g a day (total) whether natural or assisted. I did go to 1.8g/lb (350g) last cut to see if it made a difference to my recovery. It didn’t, but the extra calories from protein did keep me full, but i did also get stinky arse syndrome. Farts so bad that i was actually ashamed of myself. Back on 280-300g a day and no more stomach or bowel problems. My take on it is you have to eat calories from somewhere, so why not from protein? As long as its not causing problems then rock on!

I try and start a bulk as lean as possible, and then just “tidy up” when dropping to a cruise. If that’s after 12 weeks or 20 will depend on how fast you get fat. Once you’ve gotten to a certain bodyfat there isn’t much point continuting to bulk. Just drop the drugs down, get 10-12 lbs off and then push up again.

Hi Jordan.
The split you now do of Pull off push legs off repeat. Do you see it’s as superior to the old pull push legs off for the majority? Or just those who are strong as hell, or lack the recovery capability?
Would you switch back to the higher frequency if you felt it was possible? -
It’s slow digesting protein so there are better things to have post workout. It also slows the uptake of other nutrients so again not ideal. But if you have a decent intra workout shake with HBCD and EAAs/peptopro I doubt it would make a huge difference if you had a bit of milk post workout.
I’ll sometimes stick some frozen yogurt over my post workout pancakes. Frogurt is low fat, low protein and full of sugar so as far as I’m concerned it’s fair game PWO.

Peptopro will be easier on the stomach than whey so that won’t be a problem. It just tastes freaking horrible. No matter what you do with it.

Yeah I love safety bar squats. Currently I do front squats after safety bar squats. But when SB squats stall I’ll make front squats a priority and add in some paused back squats.

Hi Sas, any reason for not using a GDA anymore? I know you and Jordan were big on AD Matador? I know they’re not needed when insulin is in the mix but what about with other high carb meals?
-
It was every 7 to 10 days in his post, now its 12 days? Haha
200mg after 12 days of cyp and the results look good! I’d be happy with that as long as I was holding muscle. Possibly increase it to e10d.

Not heard great things. I was going to try it but searched the web. EQ was Deca or something. RIP blend didn’t contain tren. Test underdosed. Never used it but a friend who loved Apollo bought loads of it, and apparently it wasn’t worth oiling a chain with.
Used some Apollo back in the day from that same source. Pretty sure the Mast P I got was just Test P though. I still have a load of test 350 from Apollo. Pip was a bitch.
Plenty of better labs about.
