Hi Sas! I’ve seen your macro split, do u have a cheat on top of that or include that in the macros that you’ve attached before?

Good question lol. So if I get towards evening and I’m heading towards those macros with clean food, then I add the cheat on top. If I’m struggling to hit those macros then yes I’ll use a cheat to make it up. Depends how well my digestion is coping on a day to day basis. Basically I’ll more if I can. Hope this helps

I have a lot of client who just don’t do well with any kind of whey.
Try TBJP iso and if that doesn’t go well for you then just cut powders out.

Rest day today woke up 264 so holding really well

I could / will take some body fat off soon before I go into trt again so I’m comfortable.
Think cos I’m older now I just like feeling comfortable even if it’s not conducive to my goal lol although I’m pretty where I went to be size wise so I can definitely be more comfortable if I want

Friday was delts. Saturday was arms with a chest pump movement so no different to what I usually do

I’ve dropped heavy back work just for now as mu front delts are starting to get very tight to the point they cramp sometimes and this the stage before I pull or tear something so ill back off for a week or 2 or at least just go lighter

Had Chinese last night , beef rice and ribs, it’s pizza tonight. I have been doing chocolate for desert : D All other other meals are my usual. Finding it very easy to eat for this size right now, and not gaining fat : )

Delts and traps
Reverse pec dec 4 x 20
Db side laterals 3 x 8-10
Cable side laterals 2 x 8-10
Db shrugs 4 x 8-12

265 today a nice jump in weight even though it wasnt really planned. I can feel it I feel nice and full all the time even out of bed in the morning

Still see all my abs and obliques so I’m the leanest I’ve ever been at 265. Not lean lean but I’m good. Will this translate to more muscle? Possibly. I usually don’t use gh in the off season, and that couple with insulin can bump body weight up before you even build muscle so I always keep that in mind

It’s all great gaining 50 lbs. But always bare in mind what portion of that is water / glycogen / fat… hence why I use mirror as much as body weight when growing. But sometimes when the mirror can be misleading

That’s always a line drawn somewhere, where you have to stop and ask yourself if you’re just getting big or youre actually developing your physique

That line is often lost. And not just by those chasing size, but those who play it too cautious and stay small.

Anyway that was random tangent… my point is this 265 for me is better then my highest 285 I hit in 2017. So I’m happy

Rest day so not much to report

Goal right is still to just stay at this weight give or take 10 lbs. And get comfy / healthier

hi Sas, 2 different leg ext machine or same ?

I think the first time will be a good warm up, the second are the tough sets 😁[/quote]
Kind of yes : ) but tue higher rep range work is still to failure / fatigue. Just less laid and more pump failure. Which for me actually builds my quads better then lower rep / heavier work

[Sasan Heirati]

hi Sas, 2 different leg ext machine or same ?

Depends what’s available. This time I did a life fitness 1st then the hammer strength next. What I focus more so on is rep range, rep speed, and rest times to hit them differently

[Sasan Heirati]

Like Jordan said I don’t think you’re taking in enough sodium. Every 45 minutes from 4 litres seems quite excessive. But if you’re not waking up through the night at that rate then maybe you’re going for a piss when you might not need too. Train your bladder a little

[Sasan Heirati]

You using a trust worthy source for your PED’s? Those readings seem off for that cycle.
Secondly if I was on 400 mast and 250 test I’d have no libido either. My test has to bE above mast

[Sasan Heirati]

Depends how it makes you feel. I don’t like primo that close to
Rest.
3 compounds though is too many to start with. You can get plenty from just rest and primo. Start with those 2 and see how well you do first.

[Sasan Heirati]

It’s personably choice as with anything. Tren is just a other component but is just more harsh on bloods / health. Personally I don’t run it off season since body is always processing a lot of food and other compounds, it just feel rubbish, but I have in past but I don’t suffer many tren sides at all. So if you’re prone to them then it’s not worth it.
I used tren e , felt better then A. More stable.
6-8 weeks tops.

Quads today with only 1 movement for hams since they were very sore from deadlifts 2 days ago. One of a few reason I haven’t really used deadlifts most of my career

All in all a good session. Definitely hit a sticking point overall right now.

So I might start to cut out some of my cheat meals and harden up a little at this weight whilst I’m on cycle for another few weeks

Get leaner – reset trt over November – then grow a little more December and January before heading into a prep /
Cutting phase

Legs and abs
Leg extensions 3 x 15-20
Leg press 4 x 15-20
Leg extensions 3 x 8-12
Seated ham curls 4 x 6-10
Lunge walk 2 x 30-40
Rope crunches for abs 3 x 15-20

Waking up 262 ish right now so up a little more

Body seems at a plateau right now which is ok cos it’s time to taper up either food or PED’s . Or come off. The main reason for trt / a break would be I just feel a lot of joint pain a lot of the time. And when I’m on cycle I find it hard to back off

But I’ll keep pushing for now

Chest day today was decent. Bench press work again I got 160kg for 8, 140 for 10, 120 for 12

Felt big and full. Pump was crazy

Tonight’s off plan meal to help me hit my calorie target is lamb and cheesy pasta

Chest and calves
Standing calf raise 4 x 10-20
Flat bench 3 x 8-12
Decline machine press 3 x 15
Incline press 3 x 12-15
Pec dec 2 x 12-15
Dip machine 2 x 12-15

Much needed Rest day yesterday. Took my son to a one off showing of Toy Story 1 at a cinema. Then for some pub food then home to focus on my clients competing this weekend

I was going to maybe hit chest today, but woke up with a bad throat and just very drained so not sure I will since it might just make things worse

Definitely hitting pause on pushing food up now, my body seems to fight back too much now

I will how ever stay at this size and food and see if I can refine it / harden it up a little. Or “grow into it” see how that goes…

Food has been consistent at around 350 protein, 700-800 carbs, 130-160 fats

600 test

300 mast

Hello Sas,

Are you using any ai with your current cycle and if so what dosage?
Thanks

[/quote]
Right now I’m auto regulating so I’m not having an AI but soon as I start to feel
Some symptoms of high estrogen I will take 0.5mg arimidex every 4-6 days and see if this helps. If I go higher then this then most likely I’ll add 0.5mg adex every Monday.
If I was using tren / deca Would definitely add some adex

[Sasan Heirati]

So another Monday another back day.

Felt much better after 2 rest days. Less pain. Less fatigue. Appetite nice and high this morning which is always a bonus

Last nights off plan meal was double cheese burger and a large fries.

Back training was good. Put deadlifts back in since lower back feels looser now. 200kg is starting to feel lighter now so that’s great for me.

Deadlifts for right now are helping a lot with my lower back pain. The more consistently I keep them in, the less my lower back flares up. And it’s a lift that makes me feel good / strong. It’s fun.
As far as back development goes deads don’t do a great deal compared to bb rows, db rows , t bar rows etc BUT they do help for sure so I’ll keep me in.

Back and abs
Reverse pec dec 3 x 8-15
Rope pull overs 2 x 8-12
Deadlifts 2 x 5-10
Lat pull downs neutral grip 2 x 6-10
Db rows 1 x 8
Rope crunches 2 x 12-15

[Sasan Heirati]

This might not be the same as yours issue or even help what so ever but I’ve had lower back issues for years too. I did it deadlifting multiple times. And it’s never really been pain free since. I find that if I avoid deadlifts or any kind of lower back strengthening work then it gets worse. Also if I don’t train my abs / core it gets worse or stays bad too. So I keep those in even if it’s light work

Stretching is a huge help for me, I try stretch my lower back, glutes, hamstrings, quads and lats at least every other day, better yet every day

And lastly any kind of deep tissue / trigger release massage work also helps me a lot.

All these basically maintain it for me, keep it at a level I can move and train effectively, I doubt I’ll ever be fixed cos I’ve gone through so many therapists without much definite fix.
