Yep you’ll be fine with low intensity bike. It’s still getting you moving just like steps so don’t worry about it, if it helps you work whilst you’re burning energy then that’s a a big benefit in its own. I’ve done entire contest preps work low intensity bike and gotten just as shredded

[Sasan Heirati]

Other then a little extra rest, I wouldn’t mess with extra anabolics / androgens to help sex drive, sooner or later that’ll backfire if you keep adding dosages

Cialis is good always works if it’s legit cialis

[Sasan Heirati]

I think there’s lots of better options for benefits vs risk personally I’d choose something else. Primo / mast / npp all much better choices more bang for buck too

[Sasan Heirati]

If it’s that painful then yes I’d say then need rest and time to heal. And also get someone to take a look and assess what’s actually wrong with it.
Just Hams and calves for a few weeks won’t hurt, if anything it’ll help bring hams up as rarely anyone has overpowering hams

When back in try higher volume leg training (higher rep range, shorter rest period focus on blood volume rather then load) quads will still grow

[Sasan Heirati]

There’s many both but Try Skull crushers for long head. Standing rope extensions or ez bar push downs for short head.

Couple great training days again

Monday AM cheat PM delts.
Yesterday AM quad PM traps & abs because I pulled my lower back in hack squats so left hamstrings along for the evening session

Today is rest day. My sons 2nd bday so I’m I’m going to work all morning then take him to sealife later and then some food. Probably pizza : D

Weight is still steady around 250-252

The fitXpo is in 2 months so I might start to go into a deficit again soon to tighter and trial the two a days in that phase also

Hi Sas!

I’ve been following your log since twice days ago because I’m new here.

As I can see you are in a volumen phase, trying to gain lbs of muscle by HyperCaloric diet and regulating the muscle growing with the two training sessions per day in order to optimize the extra calories?

Which is your Ped’s at this moment?

And… in deficit how you manage the training schedule?

Hi bud thanks for your message and interest

I am trialling the twice a day, my intention it to make sure I recovery so my calories have naturally increased so I can train hard but as a trust I am definitely growing and getting stronger

PED’s is down to just 400mg test weekly with 0.5mg adex twice weekly

Honestly the way this training makes me feel is as if I’m on twice that amount

When I go back into deficit I will keep carbs high and start to lower fats a little. I’ll keep training volume the same but monitor recovery, if I have to I will lower volume but keep weights a little higher [/quote]

But… in deficit you keep training twice?

In Christmas, at holidays, I train twice and as you say, with amounts of food maybe feel better.

The way you train is “old school” as I see, reps and sets predefined. I mean, more or less linear, not like the new power building, that is so strange because of the RiR… strange for my mind at this moment.

About the peds: only with 400 mg Test?? type of trt or something like that?[/quote]
Yes I would still do twice a day in a deficit for sure. More effective for fat loss

I don’t redefine any sets or reps but I do have a guideline to where I want to be for that exercise. I do by feel I don’t plan anything. Nothing wrong with reps in reserve

400 isnt a trt buddy it’s my cycle at the moment : )

[Sasan Heirati]

Look good. Have you tried it ? Layout looks fine. Best feedback is your body once you’ve tried it for 1-2 weeks

[Sasan Heirati]

2-5 second eccentric is a perfect range for creating the most stimulus for growth on that side of the motion. Fact. No more, no less. It’s been proven a lot

[Sasan Heirati]

VNZ, Tor… true, 400 is not a trt dose at all for me 125-180mg is trt for me

400 is a cycle. Just a low dose one

Like Nick said my genetics , years of training, muscle mass etc allow me to utilise less to make more gains right now because I been bigger (280 lbs) so my body knows the process

400 right now for me feels perfect.
I am just over 250 lbs, recovering,
getting stronger, and I feel healthy so I don’t need to change that

Training wise I honestly keep things so simple. I like basic pyramid sets, but I’ll manipulate that to suit what I need that day. Up weights – lower reps, add intensifiers at the end. Very very basic.

I know when my muscle is worked enough, I know when it’s not being worked enough so i add weight and/or reps next set to reach closer to failure

There is nothing strange with Sas training. Its pretty normal. Normal amount of volume and normal intensity. He is just very in-tune with his body so we know what he responds to. ?
And 400mg of Test is TRT for extreme. Only few people I believe need to go as high as 400mg for TRT.
Probably not my place to answer people in this thread. So apologize if I went out of place. ?[/quote]
Answered above buddy

[Sasan Heirati]

Nick thanks buddy ! I’m really enjoying it. Failure sets… I guess all pit failure is only really the last set. But in the moment on a prior set I could also fail but the rest can allow me to fail at a heavier weight / lower rep on the next set also. So it really happens in the moment

Example .. set 2, I get to 8 reps I think “I can go a lot heavier next set for same reps so I’ll stop here” I’ve save reps… OR i get to rep 8 “I can get get more here” and I go to 11…. Next set I fail sooner. So more failure sets but maybe less volume. Or maybe even the same volume equated… see what I mean? Long as 1-2 sets are going to failure that’s fine

I actually think true failure isn’t always needed for hypertrophy. But that’s my opinions

[Sasan Heirati]

I think putting set numbers on weight loss / calorie cut is a good guide but be mindful of how you feel in the gym
Too don’t just go aggressive and lose all your strength / performance

And I would rather diet (have before) right up to the day you go away, make
Sure you’re depleted, then go and fill out. It’ll take longer then for your body to catch up and gain fat because it’s refilling

[Sasan Heirati]

What’s up every hope you’re all well

So another great week of training.

I’ve done 3 double days and 1 single. I’ll finish without another double day tomorrow

Same split

Am back – pm arms
Am chest – pm delts
rest
Am quads – pm hams calves
Am back – pm arms
Am chest & delts
Rest

I add calves to 2 more pm day and I add abs once weekly any day

Volume is 3-4 movements per session, 3-4 sets, across a rep range of 6-30

Food is high

1 x eggs & oats, 3 x beef & rice, 1 x flank steak & rice, 1 x eggs, 1 shake

Having some serious fun with this training right now. I feel incredible and
Really enjoying training. Always hungry too haha

And although I don’t focus on strength it’s definitely nice and high.
