You have a tear in acl and you walk and train normaly ? Or just patella dislocation and what cause you this probleme ,can give me a name for watching this op in youtube.i have patella dislocation too thanks

Is like you have a patella dislocation a lot ? And now you walk normal and traun ?

What name of operation you want to do and what probleme nathan ?

Solid posterior session today. Another very busy day in the laptop.

I have pulled my food down a little

Today to start bringing bodyweight down with my operation closing in. I see no need to be sat at this bodyweight for another 6 weeks so a good 10-15lbs can come back off, It’s not serving me for recovery, mobility, and just being functional. Especially with baby due shortly too.

I know I can push back up quickly and I’m responsive when required.

4 days is suiting me in the gym aswell getting a lot from the sessions currently and progressing nicely.

So i can gi agresive now and maintain at ramadan after can complete?

I think better option would be prepping away from Ramadan, spend entire time of Ramadan in maintance, if you are fasting then you are much likely to just lose tissue that is not a time I would spend in a deficit

What this unhealty choice or healthy choice?

264 today. Much happier at this weight. If I can creep this up close to 270 especially at this cycle level I’ll be happy. I won’t expect more, if I do go higher it’ll start getting you soft I think

Strength is up in the gym. Fulness is coming back. More importantly I feel healthier

At 3+g anabolics I didn’t feel good. At the time I didn’t realise / didn’t care. But everything was affected, sleep cardio putting my shoes on etc all felt so taxing and hard to do.

3 days ago one my good friends passed away. Heart attack. On of the first “big” guys I met and was inspired by. He made some unhealthy choices but ultimately it came down to just pushing the envelope too hard too far for too long from too many ends.

I’ve made much healthier choices and haven’t push as hard but still, I’ve been bodybuilding for 27 years. Assisted for the last 17 years. I’m an Olympian , I’ve been over 250 lbs for the last decade.

This is goes against me regardless of how healthy I try and eat / supplements etc etc…

I’m 40 with 2 young sons. I don’t want to risk harder than I have to. So I need to make smart choices

It’s a wake up call when you lose those friends you grew up with the lived this lifestyle with.

To add to this, that strongman passed away this weekend too , he was also 40 years old.

I won’t be quitting but I’m going be more mindful with how hard I push especially in the off season

Instead if shooting for 10 lbs stage weight (example) I’ll be happy with 3 lbs more size , if 238 lb Sas got me to the Olympia, then I’m sure 240 lb Sas can too.

Hope this makes sense

Sorry for the depressing talk! Sometimes it’s good stop and remember what we are doing. And if it’s worth it.

Risk is worth the reward for me right now since I do this for my boys. And I love this game Personally too so I do risk harder than most. But I’m aware of that and I won’t be doing this forever

What your calorie for this recomp ?

Saturday – a better day

2 x 25 minute dog walks
Eating was ok – 4 meals
didnt wrap up work till 7pm but then went to train

Shoulders/back/chest/calfs –
2moro will be arms/legs –

Trying something a little different this week

Session – very much just easing back in and dam everything felt sore and off from skiing and lack of training.

Seated Db laterals – 4 x 10-12
narrow grip press – 3 x 8
Overhand machine pull down – 3 x 8
1 arm HS pull down – 3 x 8
Chest press – 3 x 10-12
Chest focused dips – 3 x 12-15
seated toe press – 4 x 12-15.

I am going to run this out this week so 4 sessions total and design a new split. I have not trained legs now for 3-4 weeks so the increased frequency will bring things back quickly. Legs are my strong point so doing arms first helps prioritise those. I will then put qual volume through shoulders/back chest.

volume will be –
12 sets per week for shoulders/back/chest.
Bi/tri will be 12 sets per week
Legs will be 10-12.

the goal for the next 10 weeks as mentioned is to drive a hard recomp after 8 weeks of very sub part training and Nutriton. I want to get lean lean for my 40th and then spend the rest of the year growing.

PED use.

300mg test e only split MWF

GH – start at 5iu pre bed and build up to 10iu over the next 2 weeks
Mots C – 1mg on wake daily
NAD – 50mg 3 x a week
Klow – 10iu pre bed
fast slin – pre training 5iu for all sessions

Meal plan to be posted 2moro once finalised

For your weekly off plan meal you do just 1 cheat meal or a day whitout conting macro?

263 today so up a touch. Rest day today.. still don’t feel 100% days thanks to what ever this bug is it’s still lingering

Zero appetite so I’ve had to blend some whey oats and honey 3 times so far today to make sure am fed and I don’t flatten out some more

Took my sons to a garden center that has a Xmas train ride and Santa. Was nice but training

Now just doing some work, then relax tonight possibly get a kfc if I can stomach it just to try get some calories in

Hopefully be much better tomorrow

[Mehdi]

Sasan i am endomorph is hard to me to loose fat esy to build muscle and size.how the build a fire metabolism like you.i read in a post you are also endomorph and now you dont need cardio ,,

268 today after yesterday rest day. Can feel my body on the verge of getting sick, tickle / sore ish throat so I’ve increased vitamin c and veggie mite as well as doubled up on multi vitamins. And going easy in the gym this week anyway so I’ll try fight it off

Everyone in my house have been sick twice over the last 2 months so it’s likely I’ll get it too lol. Joys of having a 5 year old in year 1 school

Easy back session today. 4 exercises 3 sets each not to failure

I’m leaning further towards starting this “pull back” soon. Too many sings agains me pushing harder from here

Sleep hasn’t been great , appetite isn’t good and motivation is dropping so some rest is needed I think

I’ll lower the anabolics by the end of this week and update you guys on my plan

[Mehdi]

What you do for lipide mehdi just niacin and cardio or litle rosuvastatin.

Busy day today. And again tomorrow and basically everyday until Sunday. So organisation is key now. Was a tiring day today. Not much sleep early morning check ins and cardio. Went way way over on steps which isn’t ideal but it
Is what it is. Hit a pull session with my client tay today. Was ok he was just doing a light pump and I was trying to train properly so the synergy wasn’t there. Nowhere near as good as I would have liked. But again. It is what it is 😂. Rest day tomorrow so will have some more time in the day for work. Let’s see how to goes. It’s registration day !

[Mehdi]

Why you use a lot of honey.is not affect insulin spike ?

[Mehdi]

Your body feel beat even this push you do low volume ia just mental becaus all time you do lot of volume?

270 today. Definitely hitting a wall here. Body feels beat , having a deload week this week to see if it helps. So slightly less volume as well as lighter loads.

Most likely I’ll back off after this week for 2-3 weeks. Let body weight drop down to 255-260, reduce water and stress, reduce anabolics and gh, then come January start to crank up again. Push for 6-8 weeks then back off again before starting prep for next years shoes

Today was arm day. Yesterday was leg day. Tomorrow is rest day.

I feel sleepy ALL THE TIME haha. Which is expected when pushing this hard

[Mehdi]

Can i use insulin seringe if iam fat

I’d split it down as frequently as possible. Daily if possible….

Traps
Rear delts
Side delts
Lats
Triceps
Quads

There my go too

[Mehdi]

For your client ghasan is 400npp and test whitout ai peak androged load post pro card or post man physique show?

Last rest day done !! And as expected couldn’t train even if I wanted to I was sat working all day. Calls, podcast and check ins. Super busy. But we’re done and in bed with cardio and steps boxed off too. Weight down into the 93s which we haven’t been in a while but steps were higher yesterday. Up and out early tomorrow for the day of judgement… bloods. 7 weeks post show Saturday so will see what’s what. Hopefully won’t be bad but I have been on cycle for a long time this year with some heavy stints and a long prep too so fingers crossed. And I get to lift ! So looking forward to that big time. Gonna hit up muscle hut for my first session back and do pull. Push Saturday and legs Sunday.
