    Apologies I didn’t mean bad ratio , I meant a strong ratio where estrogen might be suppressed

    Steroids and estrogen levels directly affect hair. Hence hair loss / growth etc. low estrogen is linked to dry hair.
    You’re running a bad ratio of testosterone to mast & primo so
    It would explain it. But as always, get bloods done and see where your hormones are. And follow Meg’s advice on shampoo etc

    264 today so held after 2 rest days and last nights cheat night

    2 rest days were perfectly timed, had an awesome back session today , one issue I am starting to see rise is my left ark bicep / forearm tendinitis. Common issue

    So I think in gonna put a mid week rest day in. Wednesday. So legs will be just one day

    I’m gonna try anyway, really enjoy training every day in the week right now. So we’ll see

    Either that or reduce volume a little this week

    Food wise, gonna throw in another cheat meal tonight. I want my back to have every chance to recover and grow, since last nights cheat didn’t bump me up, and it’s chest day tomorrow, I’m gonna go for it tonight

    Probably a big bucket of fried chicken and some fries.

    If I’d gained a couple lbs today I probably wouldn’t cheat, but I feel it’s needed : D

    264 lbs today. Holding still even with the travel yesterday.

    Rest day number 2 today. Definitely a good idea taking 2 days off training back to back. I’m really tired today so it’s been nice to do nothing

    I’ve leaned that when traveling / in the road. It’s always wiser to write tone down the training or rest all together.

    Sunday cheat night tonight going for pizza again I’m addicted that’s the 3rd pizza cheat in 7 days lol.

    Big back day tomorrow so every calorie counts

    The rebound “honeymoon” phase definitely over , that full vascular pumped look is fading. And that’s cool cos it’s time to get huge.

    I’ve only every once when above 270 lbs in 2017, so it would feel cool to see that again and in better condition this time

    264 yesterday and today so holding likely back at this higher

    Loooong way to go. But a great start to this off swaps. I expect things to slow down a bit but we’ll see. Then it’ll be a slow uphill climb to get as much new muscle tissue on me as possible by next year

    Quad focused legs yesterday
    No training today since I had a meet and greet at a gym down south. Samson Dauda was there too and it was so cool getting to catch up with him and his wife.

    He’s a great champion, and someone I love to see represent the sport. Not sure huge and insane shape but a gentleman and professional too. He motivated me a lot. And his dog awesome lol

    So rest day today plus some road trip treats. Haribo , flapjacks and coffee : D

    Tomorrow I’m gonna see how I feel , might take a 2nd rest day. Make sure you tendons stay pain free.

    But I’ll see how i feel.

    New weight high today 264.

    850 carbs and 65 fats seem to hit the spot

    Today was my mid week cheat, I was very naughty and went for pizza. Naughty according to the bodybuilding purists. For me it’s just some extra carbs and fats haha

    I digest pizza well. So I don’t mind. I had dough balls, pepperoni pizza and ice cream. Had it 3 hours ago and I’m ready to eat my next meal

    Had a mega delts and traps session today too. One of those where I did my first warm up and I was super pumped up felt great

    Condition is definitely dropping but that’s absolutely fine. As long as I’m growing don’t care how soft I get.

    It’s time to get huuuuge

    No weight today. I forgot to jump on the scales haha

    Last 2 days my alarm has woken me up. Before that, I’ve been waking up below my alarm for months. So my sleep is getting longer.

    I’m definitely on the right path to growing

    Fun day Sunday yesterday. Rest day with 2 off plan meals. A lot of food. I won’t up 262

    Have meal 1 and 2 a usual. Lunch at mums chicken lamb rice ice cream. Meal 4 was regular and 5 was 1 x 14” cheesy garlic bread, 1 x 14” ham and pineapple pizza , 1 tub of Ben n Jerry’s, 3 whjte chocolate cookies with peanut butter poured on top

    Somehow I dropped down to 259 today. I think I gained 4 lbs from Saturday to Sunday of water. Not sure why

    Back day today and I felt some aches and pain in my joints mainly shoulder and elbow / bicep forearms.

    Do you ever suffer sides from GH? I’m running 6iu all before bed and my arms and hands just go numb as fuck lol. Quite hard to sleep! I may have to split it and see if sides reduce. Running Medis, what GH are you using?

    lol no I’ve run up to 12iu before bed in the past and usually ok regarding numbing / tingles. It’s day time shots I don’t like especially if food is higher I feel watery. But bedtime shots I seem to process really well. But it can be person and lab dependant… I’m running 2ktropin right now. But I try get pharma pens too if / when I can and split my dosages.

    259 today so held weight even with the off plan meal yesterday

    Must have been that leg day, cos my legs are nice and sore today

    Bumped calories up a touch today too by way off 2 large muffins post workout

    I had the appetite for it and since I’ve such a great few days of training and getting quite sore, I’m gonna bump food a bit over the next couple days where my appetite allows . Which it will, since I’m hungry 24/7 lol

    PEDS wise I’m gonna drop the eq out soon and keep at 600 test. I know this isn’t trt , but this is where I feel really good and I’ll get bloods done to see if I can continue a cruise on 600
    Test or if I need to drop.

    If I can carry on, I’ll do 4-6 weeks on this dose then blast. Most likely high dose test and eq, with gh and insulin.

    You have remember I have a goal of making it to then Olympia and then retire in the next couple years. So I’m willing to push my genetic boundary’s and see what I can achieve.

    Risk vs reward….. if this was me trying to get a local show or even a pro card, then I’d be on 200 test and prioritise health more, but this is a big goal, this is a pro win, Olympia stage, my income, this helps put food on my table and keep my mrs and sons healthy and happy, and I just know I can achieve this before I hang up the posing trunks… so
    the risk is very much worth the reward for

    I need size thickness density up top to win shows. Condition and symmetry only gets me so far. It’s time to change rings

    Today was arm day
    And it was awesome

    Arms and abs
    Cable single arm curls 3 x 8-10
    Rope hammer curls 3 x 10-15
    Preacher curls 3 x 6-10
    Cable single arm extensions 3 x 8-12
    Close grip bench 4 x 8-20
    Rope extensions 3 x 15-30
    Rope ab crunches 4 x 10-20

    259 today so getting back up.

    Last couple days I am starting to feel body fat climbing a touch. But that’s expected and I’m happy with it

    Training is on the up fast. And I’m looking and feeling bigger consistently so I’m pushing on.

    I don’t plan on staying lean. I never perform as good in the gym when lean. Goal is grow, so whatever food intake and body fat it takes I will go there

    If I see growth slow cos of fat gain then I’ll slow it down

    If I see growth slow cos I’m not fat enough, I make sure I get fatter / heavier : D

    Full Leg day today and filmed it for my YouTube channel felt really good !

    Leg day
    Standing ham curls 2 x 10-15
    Laying curls 2 x 8-12
    Leg extensions 3 x 15-25
    Hack squats 3 x 6-10

    Adductors 1 x 3 rest pauses

    Hey man!

    Do u take all orals like anavar AM? Or du u Splitt?

    Hey bud yeah this prep I did all orals like anavar Winny halo etc in the am. [/quote]

    Thank u for the answer mate! Was there a Special reason and Did u notice and difference?[/quote]

    I workout after meal 1 so I like the orals to contribute to performance in the gym.

    And before bed I just don’t like knowing there’s toxins being processed whilst I sleep. Nothing science about it, just a personal preference. I take a lot of my health / organ supplements before bed so I don’t like mixing liver toxic anabolics in with them. Plus, when I’ve split them Am/PM in the past I haven’t seen a big difference in results to be honest [/quote]

    Your the man Sas! Thank so much for every informativ and Kind answer! I rly appreciate this and can learn so much! Much love for this!

    It rly make Sense to me, when u explain it like this and I often ask myself this question if there will be a noticable difference between Splitt Dose or take it all once a day.

    I looked up the last few sites and follow u a Long time, but I cant find much about your Morning Routine a can u give us a look about this? When u say u Train After the First meal, how do u use your t3/t4, Clen, etc pp. And do you Cardio before the First meal fasted?

    Reason why im asking this is, i also work out After my First meal, because I work After in the day and I ask myself often how is the best way to use my stimulans, Clen, etc. Or orales and them of course my Health Supps.

    Maybe u can give us a look how your Mornings in Prep Look like?

    Kind regards![/quote]

    You’re very welcome buddy I’m glad this helps you : ) it’s what I’m here for.

    I like to think about everything I do / take / eat etc as a bodybuilder and if it makes sense , how it makes me feel, and if it works.

    My morning routine during my latest prep was like this most days

    5am- wake:- water, t3, t4, Clen, gh

    Do 10-20 minutes steps

    Start work / go coffee shop

    6am- coffee, water

    Work for 2-3 hours

    8-9am:- meal 1, health supps, anavar winny etc

    10:30-11:- pre workout & train

    I do rest if my cardio / steps later on.[/quote]

    Hey mate! Hope u are good!

    I like to think about everything too, but sometimes it is like “Ah, everyone do it this way, so I do it like they do” – So therefore im so happy and glad that I can have these conversations here to think again, lookin for new ways and do the trial and error way.

    Do u think it is managable to incorporate fasted cardio in this scenario?

    I ask,. because my mornings are exact the same, expect that I do cardio.

    – Wake Up, water, Clen etc.

    – Steps 20-30 minutes

    – Cardio 30-40 minutes + vacuum etc. pp.

    – Health Supps + Meal 1 – then training.

    What health supps do u take in this scenario in the morning and which do u take before bed?

    My healthsupps with meal 1 are: Nattokinase, NAC, Curcurmin, Citrus Bergamott, Astragalus, Telmisartan – When I take all my anavar in the morning, which would you take out?

    And one question – As prep gets deeper, I have here and there some joint issues and my sleep is meh – I have Join In and Dream Sleep at home – I know u use these too – do u take it together before bed?

    Thank u very much!

    [/quote]

    I personally wouldn’t do 30 minutes steps then 30/40 minutes cardio fasted. It seems too much. Have to remember in the morning you’re more prone to doing catabolic. Pick one but if it’s a time thing and you can’t cardio later then that’s ok

    I take all tbjp health supps. Love heart, heart care, vitals, vit d, curcumin, omega, join in , osteo, insure (insulin sensitivity) ,

    Yes I take dream sleep with join in before bed every night. I take unwind post workout also.

    I only take telmisartan if blood pressure goes up. Right now it’s ok. [/quote]

    Thank u man!

    The Walk / steps is a chilled one, for waking up, get sunlight, fresh Air, etc. Pp.

    When doing Cardio later, when would u do it?

    You dont think These Health Supps Affect the Training? Heard often anti oxidants not around Training, Like Curcurmin, Join In etc. Pp. [/quote]

    When doing cardio later, anytime really. Maybe a little post workout, some more later on in the evening. I don’t do conventional cardio, I just go for an easy walk. And if I split it up throughout the day , it still works

    The anti inflammatory type supps try take a bit further away from training. So

    Since I train in the morning I take curcumin , join in before bed [/quote]

    Thank u Sas!

    I have to do Cardio sadly, cus im a fat bastard 😂😂😂

    I changed a Little bit since we talk, Works great!

    May I ask u, how Long do you keep Insulin in, when im Prep? [/quote]
    Haha I’m glad it’s helped

    I don’t use insulin in prep. Maybe on some very high car day refeeds. But I just find I don’t need it. Blood sugar control is very good in prep

    So yesterday I held 257. Today I’m up to 258

    Yesterday was chest day and it was SUPER good. I felt so strong. On smith press I went up to 3.5 plates per side comfortably for 10 reps which I haven’t done in a while. Then also did 4.5 plates on the incline hammer for 10.

    These 2 movement I might try and progress IF my joints are up to the task on the day

    Today I decided not rest , cos I felt good, so I did hams glutes and calves.

    Very good session again.

    I just feel right now my recover is so good; every session I am performing better and better, and visual AND scale weight I am getting bigger. So 6 days isn’t hurting me

    My form and execution is very precise right now. Reps are slower than usual. I am making lighter weights feel heavier and volume is still lower for me, so my body isn’t trashed all the time.

    So let’s roll with it

    Todays hams glutes calves
    Laying ham curls 2 x 8-15
    Deficit stiff leg deads smith 3 x 6-10
    Seated leg press wide 2 x 8-12
    Seated ham curls 2 x 10-12
    Kick back machine 2 x 10-12
    Donkey calf raises 3 x 15-20
    Standing calf raises 3 x 8-12
