are your fats counted from all products such as rice/lean meat or is 70g of fat added from products such as olive oil/peanut butter?

My fats right now are pretty much all from whats in the foods I’m eating. I’m not adding much at all. Maybe 10g peanut butter post workout but that’s about it for now

I’ll post a typical days food plan soon

[Sasan Heirati]

Glad to see this log mate! Only YOU and maybe James wouldn’t blow your knee in that scenario haha.
Let’s grow 😀

Feel like I’m holding about 8 lbs of water haha but that’s ok. That’s muscle building environment ; )

I do feel a bit overly bloated / soft today so maybe tone the cheat meals down. But I’m not fussed since I know I’m growing very well

Today was delts traps and abs and it was a really good session. I felt stronger , fuller, more pumped. Ever rep just felt super precise and effective

I can’t complain at all about training right now

When I did check in pics for myself at 265 lbs it was still impressively lean.

I’ll do some pics for 270 lbs in 2 days and see how they look

Impromptu rest day today. Too my car for a service and health check to a specialist 70 miles away but ended up being there all day as I needed them to check something

2 off plan meals. 3 regular meals and 15k steps so hence the off plan.

Back to it tomorrow

[Sasan Heirati]

267.8 today. Yesterday was rest day. Start foods but had 750 carbs instead of 850

I feel big. My resting heart rate is another higher and I am getting out of resting easier, nothing crazy yet but something I’ve noticed. I’ll add more walking with the dog/ I’m lean so I still feel great

Leg day today was fantastic. I went super hard, was limping to the car park haha.

Upped carbs post workout to cover it; 300 carbs. So I’ll go over 950 carbs today

I might even throw a burger and fries meal in tonight for the extra calories and gains : D

Seated leg curls 3 x 8-12

Kick back machine 2 x 10-15

Do you Think its make sens to do

Lying leg curl

SL Lying leg curl

Lying DB leg curl

IF i have only lying machine for hammie or do only one variation with more sets[/quote]
I think it’ll be better to do more volume on laying leg curls. Not sure what SL is? And
I don’t think DB leg curls are stable enough to really overload the hamstrings.
Make add a stiff leg deadlift / rdl ?

Hi Sas i watched your chest workout and also Luca Back workout, your FIRST set was The heaviest like 140 for reps on Smith and then you do 120 and 100 do you prefer this style then typical pyramid weight progres or this is Better for chest for example in your opiniom ?[/quote]
I don’t have this set style everytime. I go by how I feel, so IF that 140 felt easier, then I light wine either stayed with 140 or even added weight. So depends on my strength, energy, how much joints feel etc etc. that day if I stayed at 140 or added weight, I wouldn’t have got enough reps or quality reps. Make sense ? I go by feel a lot

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

[Sasan Heirati]

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

Back and abs
Superset low row cybex with cybex pull down 3 x 10-12
Seated chest supported row 3 x 7-12
Panatta iso pull down 3 x 6-12

Rope ab crunches 4 x 10-20

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

[Sasan Heirati]

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.

Quads yesterday
Leg extensions 3 x 10-20
Hack squats 3 x 8-12
Single leg leg press 3 x 10-15
