    Medichecks are the most popular.

    Full Sports Hormone or a Wellman check should do you…..

    Just buy some 1.25kg plates then?
    I also have 0.5kg plates to keep progressing on things like Bar/EZ curls.

    Had the results from my blood test at the GP and everything was in range. TSH had reduced slightly and the GPs reference range was slightly higher. Same with the lymphocytes. Even HDL was at 1.0 just 5 days after the original test. Had diabetes markers checked all all normal. No kidney check though.

    Guess I won’t die…….. well i will one day.

    Roll on blasting again in 5 weeks..

    What about changing rep ranges though? That can also keep progression going. If you can no longer progress in say a 5-9 and 10-13 rep range, then try in the 10-12 and 15+. Then go back to heavier work again. That got me past a bent over row plateau anyway.

    I try and add weight each rotation while holding the reps.

    So if i got 140kg on incline bench press for 7, the next time i would want to get 142.5kg for 7. If i got that, then next time i’d go for 145kg. If however i only got 5 reps at 142.5kg, i would stick with that weight and try to get 7 or 8 reps. Then increase the weight. If i’m feeling awesome and its legs i’ll often add 2.5kg and some reps.

    I had a repeat blood test done by my GP today on an unrelated issue. Thyroid was tested so will see what they say on it.

    I’ve no idea what pre-hasimoto is? Sounds like something you’d order from the Chinese. Is it serious? Will I die? My Lympocytes have been high in every blood test I’ve had since I was about 17 (so 16 years). TSH has only been raised this one test.

    The Urea not a problem?

    I doubt that it will be clear by November as it really does get worse before it gets better. Plus the scarring will take a good while to go.
    Towards the end of November you may not have any new out breaks, but the red pigment will remain where the spots were. They’ll then normally turn a delightful purple color before fading.
    When i had a moderate to bad breakout after my first cycle i suppose it was about 6 months before my skin was back to normal. That was using 40 mg ed.
    For a lad your size 60mg everyday would probably be prescribed.

    The low dose will take a long time for the spots to clear up if the acne is bad. Its more of a preventive once the acne has been cleared, or in the case of more moderate acne. Acne can come back a few months after you stop using the accutane so a low continuous dose prevents this.

    If it bothers you and its bad then go to a GP and get a referral to a dermo. If you want to DIY then (me personally) would start on 40mg ed for a month, get bloods done, if all’s good (should be) keep going for another 8-12 weeks. Dont just stop when the spots fade. Increase to 60mg if needs be and sizes aren’t to horrible. Be prepared for dry eyes, cracked inner nose and lips, sensitive flakey skin, extreme sensitivity to the sun, and don’t wax or you’ll lose skin at that dose.

    I cant see the point in EQ and Deca together. I’m not sure what the EQ would be adding, if anything. Its not a big builder like NPP/Deca so would be out shined, and the visual effects would be mostly wasted as you’ll be holding water from the Deca.
    Just stick with Test and Deca.

    I prefer a low dose for longer rather then the old fashioned blast it for 3 months.
    Most Docs are agreeing that low dose for a long time is better. My friends GF has been on 5mg a day for about 3 years as an example.

    Are Chem Clarity still about? Thought they’d shut shop.

    I’ve used loads of Sphinx over the last 2-3 years. Its been around for a while and always/still is getting good press.
    The Var is spot on. I had crazy gains in strength even when dieting down. Nice look as well.
    I’ve used the NPP, EQ, Accutane, and Test-E and all did as they were supposed to.

    September 14, 2017 at 8:13 am in reply to: how much progression is enough

    Spot on in my opinion. I always try and add either 2.5kg and match the previous attempts reps. Hopefully getting an extra rep or two on days i feel good. Or i want to get another couple of reps on the same weight. If my form is starting to slip then i just keen the same weight, but stay super strict with the movement so reps or weight may need to drop a bit. But then i just work up again from there.

    Any chance she could be sneaking extra food??? She wouldn’t be the first one to over eat in secret during a prep.

    All looks a bit of a mess. I’d abandon the prep personally. If she’s not looking mostly there by now i doubt she’ll do well anyway. Especially as you have no cards left to play with. If she is already very lean then you could probably salvage something in the 5 weeks.

    Hi Jordan, Can you give any advise on how to feel the Glute/Ham Hypers you do more in the actual glute and hamstrings? My lower back just seems to take over despite me really thinking about how i initiate the movement, and using only body weight. Regular GHR i don’t have the problem.

    A lot of things like low sex drive are in the head. Don’t over think it because you read on a forum sex drive can suffer from ceasing usage and PCT. 99.9% of the time you’re fine and it’s just your mind playing tricks.
