The liver is extremely good at healing itself if it’s given the right environment. So like above, losing some weight / body may help… also just giving your liver the best chance at detoxing, peridots of low food intake, even 12-16 hour fasting windows 1-2 times times weekly, low toxins, just not giving your liver any extra stress that may come from stuff like processed foods, high sugar foods, high day foods, sugary / alcoholic drinks, cigarettes, some medication/ drugs etc etc anything that’s generally deemed “unhealthy” will be stressing your liver. So just be super wise about what you choose to eat / drink, get leaner and fitter, liver will heal in time

If you can’t do any lower for 6 months then I would just rotate and isolate upper groups to make sure I’m
In the gym as often as I canBack, abs
Chest
Delts & traps
Arms, abs
Repeat…. 3 Rest days spread over the week.OR alternate push and pull for more frequency. Maybe that’ll suit you more since coming from an upper lower
But also make sure your recovery is off to tie perfect start so make sure you consult your doctors before heading back to the gym even for upper

Feeling really good right now after a few rocky weeks.
New food amount just sits so well, I feel like I definitely utilise this amount so much better, plus it does allow for social / festive fun foods also which is a plus in my world lol
The last few training sessions have been great also.
Sitting around 248 and really comfortable, not sloppy
Volume in the gym is moderate id say
In-set endurance is going up on leg day which has been a goal so I can get some crazy high rep sets in consistently again for quads as I just respond so well to them
Back training today so I’ll update later 🙂

Food right now is a little lower if carbs (just feels better) protein is high, fats are moderate, I’ll start writing my rough macros instead of meals as mu food choices vary a lot especially in December
And I eat off plan A LOT during this time especially knowing I’ll be dieting nice and hard from the new year
Macros (roughly)
1- pre 80p, 40c 40f
Intra 25c sustain
2-post 100p 30c 30f
3- 80p 30f
4- 80p 80c 20f
5- 90p 20f
This does and will change often. I switch amounts in the fly since right now I just want to feel good / maintain

Yep done it with anadrol a lot, love the effect during training for strength. I like to have the oral just before I eat my pre workout meal 1.5 hour better training

If it’s long ester test you won’t see sides if you do 2/3 shots weekly… I’ve dont 1 shot per week for 15 years and been ok.
But if you want to split into small dosages then do 35mg daily. -
Another positive day today. Still feel kinda flat but that’s my own doing not feeding as much as could. I do want to see a small tidy up before January so I’ve dropped carbs a little to create a deficit whilst still enjoying the festive too. I’ll post nee diet tomorrow I may do macros as I change my food sources a lot
Leg day today – did my super set session. Surprising I have progressed a lot since a month ago when I filmed it for the site
Last time round I didn’t finished my last couple of sets. Today, I actually went past the targeted reps, and I added glute drive too. wahoo
Laying ham curls into hammer leg press 5 sets 10 reps increasing weight each time
Leg extensions into leg press 5 sets 20 reps increasing weight
Glute drive 3 sets 7-10 reps

250 today. Body definitely seems happy at this weight, still feel down on fulness since the stomach bug but it’s coming back. I’ve thrown in salmon, chicken thighs and lots of steak the last couple days with plenty carbs to help. I’ll tone carbs back down once I’m fuller. I don’t want to get any softer now throughout this month, maybe even tidy up a touch before I push things in January
Diet is very auto regulated right now, high protein and good hit of fats is the goal and I’ll use carbs as and where I feel necessary
Today was delts arms & calves
Leg press toe calf press 5 x 8-10
Rev pec dec, 20, 9, 6 (same weight, stack)
Smith upright rows 8, 8, 6, 5 (weight defending)

Straight into
Close grip press-ups 1 set to failure 22 reps

Welcome and congratulations on how well you’re doing so far buddy! I can’t seem too download your pics so I’ll try again later.
Well done 🙂 -
Much better today. Trained chest side / front delts and calves… went well, pumps and strength down a little but that’s expected since I haven’t trained or eaten properly much this week
Hopefully back on track now through till Xmas. Fingers crossed lol
For chest I started with incline smith as my first today instead of the usual flat press to mix it up. Incline isn’t a strong point at all for me.
Chest, side / front delts, calves
Standing calf raises 5 x 20
Inc smith press 10, 10, 6
Flat smith press 12, 12, 20
High inc smith press, 12, 6, 24
Cable fly 12, 10, 10
Cable fly low to hi 12, 12, 16
Db side laterals, 5 x 5 going up on weight back to back up the rack, then again back down the rack after a rest. Statues at 10kg up in 2.5’s to 20. Maximal pump
-
On the plus side my mum visited and brought me over a 1kg cut of fillet steak, no fat on it, I might just devour the entire thing tonight with some veg. Refuel with some Power food 🙂

Train wreck of a week so far… I’ve trained once (yesterday) since Saturday, this week. I got over my stomach bug yesterday and did a low volume lower load back session to get blood flowing, too rubbish to post if I’m honest, last night Leanne got sick so I’ve had our son all day today whilst she’s been in bed so no gym again.
I’m weighing around 248-250 so a good 5-7 lbs down, and I feel smaaaaallll, that’ll come back fast I’m sure
Not much report I’m hoping to get back in tomorrow for a solid chest day and high food intake. See how Leanne feels.
Sorry for being boring lol, it’s just my reality. It does get fun at times trust me haha

My current split (although always changing this seems to be what one settled on last couple weeks and I like it)
Back, abs
Chest, side/front delts, calves
Rest
Quads, hams, glutes, abs
Rest
Delts (side/rear) triceps, biceps, calves
Rest
Repeat
I have also found performance and recovery BEST having a rest day prior to LEGS and after…not sure if an age thing (same age as you) or just smarter approach given performance is higher which leads to the need for more recovery.
I have too have finally accepted better progress training 4 days a week only VS 5-6 simply because I love to train. For actual progression, growth and improvement, moving to 4 has been the best.

I definitely think this is both an age thing AND being smarter. If you truly push yourself to the limit in the gym every time, every work set, every rep… then recovery is so important you can’t just say “I’ll train tomorrow because I enjoy it” at some point efficiency has to override enjoyment to some degree to make the most progress. Plus don’t you just enjoy it more when having had a rest day ? It just makes you hungry for more lol.
So I agree thanks mate 🙂
