So yesterday I was 2 lbs heavier. 262. Most likely cos I ate far too much pizza : D but I’ll take that

It was arm training. And it was great I decided to bump carbs up a little pre and post.

Added 2 extra tbsp honey and 1 large muffin pre with 5iu insulin

Added an extra 60g carbs from raisins and banana post workout

Felt awesome in the gym. Super full and pumped. I’ll be doing that again during my cruise / trt+ period

Will be starting cruise this coming week it’ll be

200mg test
2.5iu gh fasted
2.5iu gh bedtime

I wouldn’t usually do gh. I like to have a few months off it every year but just for cruise I’ll keep it in to help retain much muscle as possible

Bench press is stoop improving. I’m up to 150kg for 8 reps

Arms
Bb bench press 8 x 8-20
Db kick backs double 4 x 8-12
Rope extension 4 x 12-15
Press ups 3 x 15-20
Db curls 4 x 6-10
Db hammers 4 x 12-15
Preacher machine 4 x 8-10

258 today so little bit down. Was more active then usual so I’ll put it down to that.

Today I trained delts and traps. Post workout decided to go for out for pizza with my son and mrs. They love it when I’m off season since I take them out so much for food : D

I had 2 and a half pizzas. Was starving

Training was ok. Felt a little flat. Hopefully pizza has fixed that

Nothing else to report. I’m looking forward to a cruise period now. Body is definitely telling me it’s time

I like taking my joint supps before bed. Or away from training at least

No need for anything supps before fasted cardio. Caffeine helps me

[Sasan Heirati]

Today I woke up and felt i needed a rest day. So that’s what I did. 260 holding steady

Feel good, full and lean. I feel this is the tightest 260 I’ve ever had. But I still feel my back and chest need a little more.

But happy for this push if I forced my way to 270-280 I don’t think I’d be much better off

Anyway , meals on plan so far today, will be having a huuuuge bowl of spaghetti bolognese later tonight for my off plan meal

I’ll check back in tomorrow

[Sasan Heirati]

260 again steady. Definitely leaning more toward cruising and trying to hold this weight. Maybe even tighten up a bit / bring appetite up… see how I feel

Last night I had a cheat meal. Nothing crazy just got Chinese beef in black bean sauce and a large boiled rice. Didn’t feel like a cheat but filled me up good

Just finished leg training it felt really good. Knee pain still bad but not as bad as it has been.

Goal on legs as always right now was crazy pump / feel / contractions / volume. It’s all I can do with my messed up knees

Seated leg curls 4 x 8-12
Leg press 6 x 10-15

Most of us sleep less when dieting. Body is more efficient so sleeps better.
Also lower food / carbs keep serotonin levels lower which can effect sleep.
Unfortunately it’s just a side effect we have to deal. Especially because you say you’re having great sleep, there’s not much you can do.

As for hunger, if you’re losing body fat and not hungry, that’s good!!

[Sasan Heirati]

We’ve conceived whilst^^^

[Sasan Heirati]

You don’t have to come off to conceive bud. But it will happen if you’re LH / fsh recover enough. Not everyone recovers though

I’ve whilst off everything, not when hcg etc.

I’ve also whilst on test and it happened a lot faster and I was much happier haha I won’t be coming off ever again even if I wanted another child which I don’t

[Sasan Heirati]

Same weight today. I’ve increased some of the easy carbs as of today so honey / thrown in some rice cakes through the day and also a couple pack of go ahead cereal bars each pack is an easy 20 carbs

This should help boost things a little if my body plays ball

If not I’ll try maintain into a cruise , reset then go again. I don’t want to force any harder.

If I hadn’t grown / filled out as much as I have then yes id sacrifice getting softer for a while but I don’t see the benefit.

If also I was at the start of a push PED’s wise then yes id again sacrifice condition because I know I’ll grow.

But from this point right now it won’t help much since I’m at the end of a long push

260 again today so no movement there. Feeling more comfortable at this weight so upping food makes sense this week I think

Did back today. Went really good! I found myself going at a faster then normal pace. Not really sure why it just felt good. So the usual 60 min session ended up being about 40 mins.

Pump was great, strength was up there and back was super pumped the entire way. No complaints

260 today back down to the cursed weighed.

I even had a pizza last night but it was only small. And skipped my last meal so I could catch up sleep. Which I’m never sorry about. Sleep is king

Today is usually rest day but I decided to go train chest. Just felt up for it. And had an awesome season. And ice decided to not have set rest days per week and to take them if / when I feel I need it

Right bmw I’ve trained 10 days in a row and feel pretty good.

Although it won’t be helping me gain weight. It’s just fun!

Food been clean today all on plan. As of tomorrow I’ll increase calories again and if it’s still a struggle I’ll just maintain and then cruise to reset

Happy Sunday folks!

Out of interest Sas as ive been following this a while and never seen it mentioned

With the food you have to put away especially at this phase your in now with such a good body comp -have you ever tried lantus to help with uptake of food with it being so high.

im just thinking out loud n you may of tried it and not found it useful but it may really help the food uptake at this level especially with your muscle mass and volume of training alongside.

Hey my man. So I have tried Lantus yes. At a similar point before being good condition with high food intake, and it make almost too efficient if that makes sense? Now that’s not me saying it doesn’t work, I would have had to push (for example) carbs from 800 to 1100-1200 daily when intruding Lantus to make it worth while.

I was even throwing in cheat meals which is against the grain which didn’t feel / look good at all. So with that much food as well as Lantus I found my gut feeling a little too pushed out too much of the time. So didn’t feel it was right for me.

Think I’d rather not use it but be able to throwing in big cheats that I enjoy. I’ll still grow. NOVO is the one for me. I find it hits a harder punch compared to Lantus and it exaggerates the effects of the food im eating during the 6 or so hour window it’s active. [/quote]

that all defo makes sense – ive seen that with some to – its interesting how some get none of that and others seem to get it alot[/quote]
Yeah it’s like lot of PED’s. Can be very individual. Like I said i maybe did it at the wrong time so I’m definitely up for giving it another go. And it’ll good experiences for when I want to use it with clients : )

[Sasan Heirati]

261 today so we’re climbing slowly. With all the cheat meals I have lost some condition which is expected but tue trade off has been much more fulness / feeling heavier and higher especially when training so that’s a win for me for now

I’m going to continue my daily cheat meals till Monday then reel it in and up the clean food because my appetite will start to take a hit my then. Maybe

260 again. Definitely can afford to push again with food. So visual i am quite happy. I can see for sure I have filled out all over especially the areas I wanted to focus on mid back and chest.

So even though I will push food, I won’t force too much since I know I’m at the end of this push phase PED’s wise.

I can happily coast along at this weight for the next 2 months, solidify what I have even more then push again. Try shoot for 270 with next push. MAYBE.

Lots of “maybes” with what I do. Cos I go off instinct and feel a lot. I don’t just push up if it doesn’t feel right

Cheat meal again today. Went to Nando’s a grilled chicken place, had a double chicken pitta with fries and rice. Then 6 Millie’s cookies for desert.
