Trying stopped berberine and maybe swapping some of your carb / fat sources for a few days see if it helps?

253 today so up a touch again. Plenty of rest days seem to be key for me right to keep growing

This is the fullest I’ve felt for a good couple years now so I’m hoping by January I’ll resemble something like a pro bodybuilder again 😀

[Sasan Heirati]

Sounds good Jack 🙂

[Sasan Heirati]

Ended up resting again today which I think was the best move considering how I feel and traveling

Tomorrow it’s a big back day 😀

Rest day menu today no changes sense last weeks rest day day plan

[Sasan Heirati]

252 again today and feel good

I’ll take test up to 400 this week which will be a nice boost up from the 250 that I’ve been on since mid august

On the fence as to wether I should train today. I’m traveling to Milton Keynes (2.5 hours south for me) so won’t be training tomorrow, very tired today with lots of work so I might opt for a double rest day

You should by now see a trend of lots of back to back rest days with me. They just work so well. If I don’t have the regularly my joints get bad , and I lose gym performance very fast

So I’ll decide in the next couple hours 🙂

[Sasan Heirati]

The fact you have better control within the current rep / load range shows progress, and also with everything else progressing like you say, don’t worry about it. BUT ideally you do want to see some more progress over the next couple rotations. If you don’t then maybe switch something up, rep range / angle etc …

[Sasan Heirati]

252 today holding nicely

Feel full, round, and not too sloppy yet

Biiiig steak meal last night, 16oz fillet, man was that good! And it helped today’s chest session. I’ll post the session below 🙂

Side note, my body LOVES high protein.

[Sasan Heirati]

Thanks for the reply Sas. You seem to enjoy a higher fat diet than the usual high carb/low fat approach.

We see a lot of people separating carb/fat meals etc but you seem to have more of a balance of carbs and fat. I take it as long as you hit protein and calories you’re not too concerned with the other macros?

Yeah for me it’s more about just energy balance, my body likes a balanced mix of carbs and fats. They’re both energy sources so can be used accordingly. Carbs for me do have more value, fullness, faster release energy and also metabolism benefits

But generally off season I like higher fats (carbs still high too) to lower the food volume all together, I don’t like high volume meal all the time, so if I can make them more dense I tend to feel better

[Sasan Heirati]

I like your approach as well. The aspect of more relax approach and enjoy some time with family friends and significant other ????

Always works for me. Contest prep I definitely go into more of a robot mode 🙂

[Sasan Heirati]

Anabolics wise.. My thoughts right now for myself
Test is still 250. Nothing else
I’ll likely take this up very soon.

I love test only cycles for off season with a sprinkle of anadrol. I feel great on test up to 600mg. But I’m willing to throw in a small dose primo to see how it feels and keep test around 400.

I’ll also add in anadrol soon for a 4 week period. My body thrives off the stuff.

So I’ll probably do 400 test for 2 weeks, then add 200 primo and 50-100mg anadrol to it , pre, for 4 weeks then go back to trt for December into January.

This should see me into the 260-270 lb range and not too sloppy. That’s where I’ll stay till I diet down.

Food will likely go up more still, but I’ll throw in more cheat meals to keep growing. Always works for me and I have fun doing it haha

[Sasan Heirati]

252 this AM. No change. Don’t feel as full as yesterday morning. But rest day today so well timed

At this point I actually feel fuller as a rest day goes on. It’s training that flattens me sometimes which means probably need more food.

Taking Leanne out for a steak tonight I’ll be eating big 🙂

[Sasan Heirati]
