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

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

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.

Rest day yesterday well spent working eating and doing my fav thing spending time with my son

260 again today but I feel nice and full

I think I’m definitely going to hang around this weight for a min without push food higher. I just don’t like my gut being so full by end of the day. That longside a cycle gh and insulin is a recipe for distention and that’s not my style : )

Plus body fat is as high as I want it now. Still lean. Leanest 260 I’ve ever been so I’m hoping this translates to about 230-240 on stage

Back day today went really well

Keep volume low still cos my joints are on their limit for sure

But Strength is at an all time high which is great

Food today will be around 350 protein 600 carbs 130 fats but with a cheat meal on top of pasta steak and garlic baguette

Back
Reverse pec dec 3 x 15-20
Db rows 2 x 12
Nautilus pull downs 2 x 15-20
Rope pull overs 2 x 12-15
Seated row 2 x 8-12

14 weeks is too long for a first cycle but. The acne could just be a reaction that will go away once you’re have a break.
If estrogen is high I’d use small dose Aromasin over adding another compound, again since it’s your first cycle, test is plenty.
If it was the gear source it would have happened from the start unless you changed brands at 8 weeks in

[Sasan Heirati]

Back up a couple lbs today and felt much fuller. Yesterdays food ended at

850 carbs
370 protein
150 fats

Lot of food but needs must.

Maccies triple cheese burgers x 2 and a large fries is helping me today : )

One thing I look forward to when I do retire is not having to eat so much damn food lol. And be a little smaller / leaner . Maybe haha

Legs today was good. Dropped volume quite love cos body felt beat up. Leg press was just 1 work set but got 455kg for 30 reps and that wiped me out in a good way

Back up to 260 body weight today
Still relatively lean.

Legs
Standing ham curls 3 x 8-10
Leg press 1 x 30
Leg extensions 2 x 20-25

Told you volume was low. Rest day needed tomorrow for sure body feels absolutely battered right now

[Sasan Heirati]

Yes was a terms in terms of food lol I had a few things come family wise and it became really hard to get my usual food amount.

Think I ended the day at around 200 protein, 500 carbs and 130 fats. Mostly coming from 2 maccies triple cheese burgers and 2 Mayo chicken burgers , granola and Mexican food

Back training was too bad but only did 3 movements. Get load light and went for a crazy pump.
Lat pull downs parallel grip 5 x 15
Smith bent over rows 5 x 8-12
Nautilus pull downs 5 x 10-15

Today has been much better so far. Back to normal food aiming (on track) to get 400 protein, 800 carbs, 150-200 fats

Some meals today have been ham and cheese wraps, egg oats steak rice, home cookies beef burgers with fries later and granola before bed tonight

Chest training was good today. Didn’t go as heavy on flat bench but went for reps. Got 140kg for 15 (pb) 140 again for 8, 100 for 20

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

[Sasan Heirati]

Eq has been wide used as part of sports HRT a lot so yes you can try it and see how it feels for you. But if you’re running true trt as a health / detox those phase then I’m not sure why you’d use it?

[Sasan Heirati]

Rest day today waking up 260 still which i am very happy with since I feel lean at this weight

January I was around 270 but quite a lot slippier so if I had to guess I’d say up a solid 5-7 lbs lean muscle wise this year so far and that’s a huge win for me

This time last year for example if I was to be in this condition I wound have had to be at around 250 lbs

I don’t plan on getting sloppy, I’ll still push, and when I see fit I’ll really push calories (if digestion is good) if I can be 10 lbs up lean muscle wise by January I’ll be happy to start contest prep.

Chest day yesterday, elbow and shoulder pain has crept back up so I didn’t go as hard. But I did get a nice PB on incline hammer strength press of 5 plates per side for 10

Rest day today. 5 guys competing so busy with them, some family time and zero bodybuilding meals lol day off diet

Chest and calves
Standing calf raises 4 x 8-12
Incline hammer strength 3 x 10-20
Flat bench 3 x 10-20
Pec dec 2 x 12-15
Dip machine 1 x 25

Hi Sas, when you need to improve posterior chain Did you add Back and Ham Workout do increase Ham and Back Volume ?[/quote]

Hi bud. About 15 years ago I noticed my lats / back was weak compared to chest so I placed back day after a Sunday rest day and also had high calories on that Sunday. Then ever Monday hit back with high volume and heavy as possible. This helped. 10 years ago my hamstrings were much weaker then quads, all I did was do 3 hamstrings isolation movements on leg day before I did quads, seated – laying – standing leg curls. Destroyed hams before doing any quads.

I where had ham and back together or an extra day. I still only did them once per week [/quote]

Thanks so much, i will try it, i remember you wrote that you do Calves 5 days a Week after Every Workout is good idea to do Calves and ABS Every day? [/quote]
I like calves 4-5 times when I am really trying to bring them up yes. But not year round. Right now I’m doing them 3 times. Abs I don’t think need every day. 1 or 2
Times weekly is plenty. With weights

[Sasan Heirati]

Back day today decent session. I focused more on lats I didn’t do any deadlifts since my glutes and hams are still quite sore from legs
