264 today so held weight as planned after yesterday bump in food.

Today was back day. Awesome workout, my body is starting to slowly feel better already and I’m only a week into this trt so I’m happy. Less joint pain, better pumps, motivation up, just feel good. Purely a recovery thing so far because the drugs are still at a decent level in my blood

Saturday is pizza / cheat night with my family that was nice. 1 evening meal was pizza and the other 4 were as planned.
Was perfect

Regular day tomorrow.
Then I’ll probably take it up a level and cut harder as of Monday

264 today another 2 lb drop

Added some extra food nothing crazy 60g extra carbs before training and a burger fries Post. Just to help fulness for the next few days as I know I’m dropping too fast

Can definitely feel an estrogen rebound from dropping the test and deca, but hopefully by next week it’ll level out

Trained delts and chest with my friend and client Matt tofton today. He looks awesome, big full round and lean. Made me feel fat as shit haha but that’s good, reaffirms my decision to tidy up a little

We did Matt’s usual session so was a good changes
Lower volume then my usual work.

Tomorrow is back with Matt again before he heads back home

Chest and delts
Atlantis shoulder press 2 x 10-12
Seated db laterals 2 x 10-14

Nautilus neutral decline 2 x 8-14
Pec dec 2 x 8-15

I also think 75-100mg would be better to start and see how you feel. Maybe get bloods. For someone like myself I’m 270 lbs, been running cycles for 15 years so 150mg suits me better… so it also depends on your age / cycle history genetics etc etc… blood work always helps

[Sasan Heirati]

Agree with Clare as in don’t push things harder if you’re already progressing. If you’re feeling worked after training then just ride it out and get that strength up of that’s the goal. More volume will slow strength gains for sure. So it’s harder to progress both strength AND volume

[Sasan Heirati]

266 today another lb down. Appetite has been hiiiigh today. Quite refreshing after tue onslaught of food I was eating over the last push up.

I had planned a rest day but felt really good so went in and did some cardio 25 minutes stairmaster, 6 sets of abs, 6 sets of calves and lots of stretching

Usually training food today.

I expect weight loss to slow over the next few days so I’ll be cutting some calories down by next week I think

Other then my aches and pains, So far 1st week tidy / trt going well.

[Sasan Heirati]

What Louis said… also I know some very good boxers who swear by barbell squatting, heavy, leg / core strength will lead to a stronger hook / jab / cross etc.
you could do some bench press / barbell dead’s / rows / chins, but just be careful not to slow your agility / flexibility etc

[Sasan Heirati]

How many weeks have you been pushing / progressing? Have you been eating to progress? Are you gaining strength everywhere else? Is sleep / fluid etc all 100%?
I wouldn’t add volume / intensifiers yet, if you give some more info we can help

[Sasan Heirati]

267 today so another little drop. Hunger starting to pick up which is a nice feeling. By no means starving but looking forward to the next meal.

Legs today. My knees are quite sore right knee so dropping down the load a lot, but added some volume, possibly a combo of a hard push for last couple months and also ped levels dropping.

Otherwise feel good, little flatter due to drop in food / weight but still feel big. For now lol

I’ve also added light stiff leg deadlifts to try strengthen my lower back see if that helps with the pain I regularly get.

Legs and abs

Adductors 3 x 15-20
Abductors 3 x 15-20
Laying ham curls 3 x 6-8
Leg ext (light) 2 x 20-30
Hack squat 3 x 6-10
Leg press hammer st 3 x 12-15
Stiff leg dead’s 3 x 6-8
Leg ext heavier 3 x 15-20
Standing leg curls 3 x 6-8

Like kuba said I think insulin can help a lot, with or without gh when used sensibly and correctly

[Sasan Heirati]

Agree with Clare. Shouldn’t effect recovery if it’s low-mod intensity and if does then something is wrong somewhere else in the plan.

Loads of benefits to it, especially being away from weights

So day 2 of this trt / tidy. 268. I think weight should drop quite easy.

Trained delts and arms today, similar to last week. Not my usual split this week as I’m training with a Friday end of the week.

Session was good, I’m trying to hold back, got a lot of pain in my left elbow, and right shoulder so I’ll be rehabbing those this with through APEX NEURO, look them up if you don’t know what they do, very helpful

So training will be pretty meh over the next couple weeks. But my focus if a hard push after these 4 weeks so I’m ok maintaining for now

I’ll post my amended diet and training split shortly

[Sasan Heirati]

Happy new year everyone 🙂

270 lbs today. Taking 2 days off training so back in tomorrow

So my “trt” starts this week. Original plan was to continue pushing but I’ve definitely stalled in and out the gym so I’m going run a 4 week trt / tidy , reset, then ramp things up again

Training wise I’ll try lowering the volume a little to boost recovery.

Will tighten up the diet too so I’ll post new diet later

PED’s- 150mg test E weekly

[Sasan Heirati]

270 today. Random drop in weight. I usually wouldn’t mind but I feel sloppier too.

I think I’m leaning towards and short trt tidy during January. 4 week low test 150mg, then ramp things up again. Few things that have red flagged in the past 2 weeks for me…
-training performance plateaus
-bigger drop in appetite
-more regular achy joints
-out of breathe easily
-just starting to feel meh

Also to note for myself I think 800 test might be excessive. Sluggishness and just feeling more rubbish. 600 seemed to be a nice spot for me this push. In the past I’ve been good with 800 but body can change with age

So next push I think I’ll stick with higher mast / primo (400-450)and stick test at around 500-600.

Anyway just thoughts this morning.
I’m looking forward to tightening up a little. I feel fat haha

Hi bud like Adam said it could have been trauma. Tear / micro test / strain / bad pull that didn’t heal properly.

As this can really weaken that area both in terms of strength and endurance tricep wise.

Get it diagnosed if possible. Other do what you can do with it, do it often and slowly build it back up as long as it doesn’t hurt or swell up again
