hi sas, if my weight in the offseason does not move up in a month but strength is better and i look better, should i increase food? currently post show 2 months

Strength better + “look” better doesn’t always mean you’ve added muscle. I would increase food

[Sasan Heirati]

245 today. Was 247 yesterday so that’s a good 5-7 lbs up from when we came out of a deficit.

Very happy with this weight since I am still lean. Not as sharp as I was at 240 but this is allowing me now to train harder and hopefully grow a little

Rest day yesterday. Work, family time, and sauna.

Back training today. Regular diet day (no cheat meal)

Felt good. The increased rest days are helping me right now

21 weeks out as of yesterday. Feel relaxed. Focused. Healthy. And happy

Hi bud you don’t need a keto diet to prevent those kind of diseases. Just a wholesome diet with natural foods, balance diet of healthy protein fats and carbohydrates. You don’t need cut carbs out there’s no magic in it and if anyone tells you there is then ask them show you the evidence

Some of healthiest longest living groups on people on the planet all have a perfectly balanced diet. It’s not a good idea to cut anything completely out

[Sasan Heirati]

You’ve answered your own q in my opinion. You’re doing it for bjj and it’s working, helping you recover, AND your progressing on this volume, so it sounds like you’ve got it perfect for now

[Sasan Heirati]

Arm day today. Back on the ol’ hated arm day lol and I felt awesome

I look at arm day now as kind of a recovery day. Light weights, crazy pump, slow tempo reps. I find if I try lift heavy with biceps or triceps my tendons will start to get very sore very quick. Slow / high rep range and they blow up. And will still grow

Cheat meal with cake tonight.

Rest day tomorrow and checking in with Chris too

you prefer more test with only masteron enath … ( if you choose any primo together with mast you will keep it at 1:1 ratio ?? for example 600 test with 300/300 ( primo /mast e ) or you will raise more the test at 800 at this point to keep test levels higher and control and better the e2 ??

Eq if some person want to use it in low dose 200-300mg and have any issues with hematocrit … will be better to make some donate of blood every 3 months the period which use the EQ ??

I don’t like primo at all. And I never have test the same as other compounds regardless of what it is. I always have test higher. If it’s test and mast I would do 500-600 test , 200-300 mast. Eq / deca etc same thing

I use arimidex to control estro if I need to

Eq effects everyone differently so i would start low then run bloods after 6 weeks. If hemo is higher then can donate blood and maybe add telmisartan. But if it’s very high then EQ isn’t for you. For short periods I don’t mind blood getting a little thicker. It comes back down fast for me [/quote]

I understand for example if you use dht ( mast e or primo /mast e combo ) at 500mg … the test you will keep it higher at near to 800 per week … or at 600 dht with 900 test .

If you want to push something in this combo you put something such eq or deca at lower dose ( 150-200) or maybe some anapolon pre workout ? and for e2 side you use some low dose AI

Telmisartan helps to reduce the hematocrit ?? Telmisartan has in my mind that help more the BP issues … and water retention issues .. [/quote]

So if I push test higher like 800-900, I might use deca or mast at 300 and eq at 300.

I like anadrol. 25-50mg 2-3 hours pre workout when I am pushing body weight and strength high yes

And then I will definitely use small dose AI yes when pushing things as I’ve said [/quote]

You work with very standard method … and nice method ! You have such mass base the test and the other use it in very moderate dosages only to help the progress …

You like to use deca and eq together ??? Or you mean you use mast such dht at 300 and such 3rd compound you choose the eq or deca ??[/quote]
Thank you. I’ve kept things very basic since I started. I’ve tried higher dosages but it never feels good. Appetite / sleep etc all suffer when I go high

I’ve built this muscle over 20 years. Slowly. I think it you take bodybuilding slow and respect your body, respect the anabolics and don’t rush, then you will build quality dense healthy looking
Muscle that will last a long time

I dont think of my cycles as dht etc. I know I good with eq and deca. Yes sometimes together too. They both help me get quick fuller thick and strong, pushing bodyweight up. Mast I like when I want to feel a little tighter /
Drier. So I mix and match depending on how I want to feel / look

Sup sas, did you counting macros for your clients or prefer go about the feeling?

Hi bud. For clients I have set diets / meals , here I know pretty much how much protein carbs fats (direct) they are eating. So I have an idea of macros. Then I adjust things as I see fit for how they are responding.

[Sasan Heirati]

You believe in health phase at trt only dose ?? Or in very low test at 200-250 with low dht at 100 per week is good for recovery phase and with good training and a lot food can have and progress with this at trt or trt + ?

Is maintaining and getting as healthy as I can I will do just test at 150-200 weekly

If I want to stay healthy but push slowly, I will do 300 test. I grow nicely on this and I don’t need anything else and this feels healthy for me

thanks for your previous answer sas. what is your current goal since you are still couple of months out til spain? just kind of “lean bulk”?

So I’m 21 weeks out. Currently recovery is the priority. Since we WERE meant to be 10 weeks out when we stopped, my body was cranking into high gear and responding so fast, we’ve had to pump the brakes.
Lowered PED’s. Upped food. More rest days and lower volume training.
Aim is to reduce joint pain, push body weight up a little and I grow slightly too whilst staying healthy.

[Sasan Heirati]

Yesterday chest + cheat went well. Weight gone up by a couple lbs to 244 today

Feeling good in terms of my appetite isn’t as crazy as it was, I don’t feel like I’m in a contest prep diet anymore as I’m fuller, softer and feel better in the gym which is the goal right now

Still prioritising recovery. Keeping to lighter weights and low volume

So far so good.

Today was back and rear delts that was also really good. Nothing exciting to repost right now since we’ve had to put the brakes on and slow things down. Boring really but necessary

Pec dec 2 x 10-15
Incline smith 2 x 6-10

Nice progress mate well done

I would add curcumin to that stack and focus on recovery / sleep / good nutrition as im sure you are, the re taking bloods in 3-4 weeks again so see some of those reds improve down like cholesterol, creatinine etc
Could also blood let 1 or 2 times to bring down blood thickness

Im sure others will add to this if they see something I haven’t
