274 today. I even added extra calories yesterday by way of a double cheese burger from burger king. No fries etc just a burger on top of my regular meals

I can already tell my body will be stubborn at this weight

Which is fine. If I can some more even better! If not that’s ok.

If I chose a show further away I’d push up to 280

I’ll see what… Read more

Injecting any amount of synthetic testosterone will generally shut down your natural prediction. Regardless of hcg use (some guys get lucky) so to keep you testes firing, you need to come clean off periodically

Having said that, depending on your age and genetics, you could cruise / blast for a few years then take a clean break.

Nice 3 lb gain after yesterdays high day. 245 now.

Although fat loss will probably halt over the next 2-3 days it’s pretty much perfect to make sure I don’t lose any training performance. As it took a dip pretty fast last few days

Feel much better today. Impromptu Rest day today due to family stuff but back in tomorrow so I’ll likely… Read more

Diet wise I’ve altered it a little. Mainly from a performance but also a health stand point too. Cover all my bases so to speak

Made all meat meals beef. Main reason is I find i am always always stronger and fuller when I eat more beef, also sick of chicken lol.
I’ve added orange and cranberry juice for their vitamin / mineral benefits, they… Read more

So leg day is upon us.

Feel veeery depleted I’ll be running a high food day today. Not a crazy one. As I haven’t actually lost weight this week still

High day will be – added 300-350g carbs, added 50-60 fats, around training and also one evening meal

I excepted a 2-3 lbs gain for tomorrow but it’s definitely needed.

I do want to get… Read more

Do u use an ai to that?[/quote]
Yes 0.5mg arimidex every Monday right now. Upping it to every Monday and Thursday next week

Great chest session last night, I trained later on again.

Felt really good considering the food deficit is really kicking in at the moment.

I always tend to keep good performance on low food until I’m in contest shape

I’ve added more volume to my training to keep things progressing but as always I do go feel within in the session too

Not… Read more

Sometimes this can be due to certain muscles not firing up / connecting with the mind properly maybe around neck / back. I know 2 people lately who had rehab on same issues and starting to get fixed. The therapists use some sort of neuro technique with pulse treatment to see which muscles are connecting properly and which aren’t, then continue… Read more

Back day was great yesterday, I trained quite late for a change. Just due to work load. It was actually nice to have more food in me

But mid morning sessions, after 1 or 2 meals are definitely perfect for me.

But either way. Happy with the session, with my lower being as fragile as it is these days I really don’t push weight up on back days.… Read more

Yes as mentioned above a good therapist will be able to analyse movements and narrow it down to where the weakness is then simply rehab to strengthen that area

Updated plan below. The only that’s change is a drop in calories and I’m trying to stay more active during the day

Food

1 whole egg, 20 whites, 100g oats, 100g blueberries

Train- 1 sc sustain

Post- 3 sc JP whey

280g chicken or Turkey, 250g rice

3 sc Jp whey, 2 sc (40 carbs) cream of rice

280g Beef , 150g pasta / noodles

2 sc JP… Read more

So lots of family time and rest over the weekend and back in the gym today for back

I’ve cut calories a touch more to see me get closer to 240 this week. Still hovering around 242-244

Will post diet next and back session later

Hope everyone has a great Monday !

It can be normal yes but only really when pushing super hard (food wise) usually when you keep the food the same for a short while you will
Adapt and pick back up don’t worry

But if it gets worse maybe post you body weight / plan etc and we can try help

If your e2 is too low constantly why are you running same dosage mast as test ? And why are running tren when it was test & primo previously ?

From what you’ve said, and how you look, I’d suggest you push calories up and get growing. Nice and slowly. You’re not fat, and want muscle… so why waste time

If the oil looks clear, no crystals then they’ll be ok : )

Mixed it up a little the last couple days since I took a few days off did upper and lower just to make sure everything is still worked so I can start the usual split come Monday

Not something I usually do but really enjoyed it for a change

Upper (yesterday)

Wide grip pull downs 3 x 8-15

T bar rows 3 x 6-10

Single arm rows 3 x… Read more

What’s the goal?

So 242 today, I’ve trained less the last few days due to my lower back but it’s more preventative reasons rather then injury. I think after 18 years of lifting I’m learning the signs of when to back off a little before it gets to the point where I can’t do much at all.

I don’t feel leaner then last week but I’ve held it well, so I’ll be… Read more

That makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for answering 🙂

Welcome my man : )

242 today so dropping nicely still…. I took yesterday off again, back lower back, happens every couple weeks. Thursday I train legs which was good, taxing but good!!

No off plan meals so far this week, will be having my usual high food day tomorrow

As of Monday I’ll be adjusting my diet and creating a bigger deficit. Time to get under 240 :… Read more

Don’t be sorry at all bud. Although I do train on feel, my split has actually brekkie quite similar for the last 15 years since I started training more for bodybuilding. I’ve veered away to other setups a few times but it never suited me.

So it rarely changes. I’ll post it below : )[/quote]
Thanks.
Even though genetics play a part in it I… Read more

But calories in be calories out is always the basis of weight gain / loss etc as long as all or at least 80% of those calories are healthy choices

Genetics…. That always covers a big range of variables like hormones, insulin resistance, thyroid, how you partition calories, how you respond to weight training, how you recover, your joint (tendon and ligament) strength… list goes on, will ALL determine energy needs. I’m not sure if these are the external factors you’re looking for but the… Read more

Rest day yesterday and a much needed one. (I feel like I always say that lol) maybe old age getting to me

Holding weight a little better this week. 244 today.

I’d like to get closer to 240 in the next few days so I won’t be having a mid week off plan meal this week

Legs is on the menu so that should help me dip a little lower

Diet… Read more

High estrogen will definitely screw your immune up. Along with a lot of other negative effects. I suggest you get it down asap buddy

247 today to 2 lbs down from yesterday I actually feel tighter now at 247 compared to 243 last week. But that’s most likely due to muscle fulness

Feel good, appetite is high but not crazy, expected to be high after a big food day

Sleep was interrupted last night. I honestly can’t wait to be below 240. I just don’t enjoy being this weight any… Read more

Sub q. Less scar tissue, same absorption rate. Easier to shoot

Back and abs day today felt awesome. Although quite tired from being on my feet / traveling all day yesterday. Still did well in the gym

So biiiiiig high food day yesterday. Although I was quite active attending a gym “open day” kind of thing. But I made sure I ate the entire time along the road trip and when I got back home

Up 6 lbs to 249 today. And feel fuuull. But not bloated weirdly enough.

So roughly the days food was as follows… (random I know as I was traveling I… Read more

Grow grow grow for sure. Don’t waste time at your age. You’re lean enough

That sushi meal yesterday did the trick, up 3 lbs to 245. Didn’t expect that much of a jump but that’s ok as I did drop a lot this week so far

So today I did a mix of chest and arms since I missed chest on Tuesday but didn’t want to go too full on it since I want to do it again next Tuesday so I pulled back the volume and added some arms as… Read more

Woke up another lb down today. So it’s falling off right now. Decided to add in extra food today just to try slow it down. That’s 8 lbs since Monday which will obviously slow down

So delts traps calves today follow by sushi post workout. 40 pieces mainly salmon and rice. Like the stuff. Tons of soy sauce lol

Hopefully gone back up in weight a… Read more

Legs yesterday was draaaag. One of those sessions that it’s took forever. Definitely down to my dropping 7 lbs this week. But still worth it, I didn’t look flat just felt it.

Still powered through and feel much tighter this morning at the same weight as yesterday

Today I am coupling arms and delts together as I won’t be training Saturday or… Read more

I really wouldn’t advise HIIT if he’s a hard gainer, especially that early in prep. Too much unwanted stress. Unless he gets very fat. And when to add depends on his condition when you go into a deficit. If he’s already in a good spot then first use a calorie deficit and see how he responds for a week and if he drops fast then cardio would be… Read more

Rest day yesterday and held 243

I do feel little flatter but I don’t mind. I know I’m leaning out. Visibly see more veins / lines today.

I’m dropping fairly well, which comes as a result of consistent upped calories over January and February so it’s paying off

That’s why i always like to work with guys long term, a diet / prep is always… Read more

Need to find the root cause before knowing what to take. Try switching some food sources and find out what triggers your issues. It’s hard to do but just remove or swap one food at a time and see how you digestion responds

I only know powerbuilding throigh Mike O’Hearn so maybe Google him and see if there’s articles with his routine? Sorry I’m not more help buddy

Lowest weight of the diet today so far 243 lbs. Dropping quite fast for now but I know it’ll level out.

Appetite good, strength great, sleep perfect, feel healthy can’t complain.

I say I feel healthy meaning my blood pressure feels in a good place. I am prone my BP rising. But I think a mix of the jp supps and lower dosages are helping in… Read more

I’ve done all at once all my career and always felt great. Easier too to get them out the way lol. Majority opt for split I think

Feel much tighter today. New diet doing it’s thing. Lower drugs also feel loads better, haven’t lost size or fulness (yet) but feel sharper.

Decided to do arms to as I am filming for the site. Meant to be chest as normal on a Tuesday but we filmed chest last month.

Will like do legs next time, wanted to wait a little so I can show a… Read more

Continue to Kano…. Lots of things I have done in preps wouldn’t make sense on paper or to the smart science guys, but they damn well worked
