I felt like changing up my workout schedule so it was a back workout today:
Assisted pullups machine was hogged up my a romantically awkward couple who wouldn't give it up so I moved on.
Bent over barbell rows: 2x10 135lbs 2x10 155lbs 1x12 155lbs
Dumbbell rows: 2x10 1x12 75lbs each side
Cable pulldowns: 2x10 170 lbs 1x10 187lbs
Seated wide cable rows: 3x10 187lbs
Treadmill: 15 mins. 1st 10 mins were 6 incline 3 speed ending 5 were 7 incline 3 speed.
Felt super strong all through the workout today even thou was tired n busy at work and the past weekend.
In addition to this, my kickboxing session today was good as well - core exercises and movements combined with alot of low intensity cardio.
My lunch was only my protein shake. Busy days so couldn't take a picture of my shaker cup at the time
Home now and munching on beef - and drinking the husk water. Will get some Almonds and walnuts in.

It's a Saturday and after groceries, I went for a swim - fucking exhausted but I was able to swim on my back and did make some progress.
Once I was home, I had to do a bunch of stuff and then someone came over and had stuff to do.
My carbs today are again from nuts, the milk in the protein shake (19 grams from it). 15 grams from husk. idk how many from the nuts.
Meals are very high fat, thats what you want.It's a sunday today, had 7 eggs with a diced onion in em as my breakfast.
Not as busy. I felt like working out so its a chest day today:
Flat barbell press: 1x10 175lbs 2x10 185lbs 1x12 135lbs
Incline barbell press: 3x7 175lbs
(I couldn't push more, my soulder injuries started to creep up. My angles n everything was good. Idk what happened)
Seated machine press: 3x10 130lbs on the shit machine.
Pec dec: 1x12 140lbs 2x10 160
Cable flyes: 3x12 40lbs each side.
Cardio: 7 incline 3 speed 15 mins.
Before anyone asks, i actually have multiple injuries, my right ankle, right knee, right shoulder n bicep, left elbow, right side lower back, both wrists.
Most of these injuries are from fighting tournaments and a few from lifting heavy.
The injuries in my right shoulder n bicep are from a jujitsu tournament in 2019, i was stuck in an americana and while trying to escape i dislocated my shoulder but it got popped back in.
An ultrasound showed that i had multiple tears in my front, side and a few in my rear deltoid. My bicep tendon also had fluid in it and some parts of my bicep has micro tears as well. In the following months my left shoulder compensated for my right now and it got a bit injured as well. My bicep isn't bad anymore but its not a 100% however, my shoulder still makes a popping sound and thats the only reason i sometimes cannot lift as heavy.
No, i dont have a doctor anymore and cannot get it looked at. Wait times for mri or ct scans over a year even if i get one prescribed by some miracle. Testosterone definitely helped with recovery back in 2019 and early 2020 and in 2022 when i started lifting again, test helped alot with the injuries and i felt like a million bucks!! Was able to bench 225 for multiple sets n reps.
I am fine, no problems just wanna get thru this and back to lifting heavy - i know i can.
Back to today's workout, it was a good workout with higher intensity cause of lower rest periods in between sets. Super pumped up chest and i loved it!
Time to cook a dinner steak!
Damn really? I didn't know there was an egg shortage. I usually get eggs from the hutterite colony. $7 for 30 eggs.Man I'm really missing eggs in the US we have an egg shortage
One of those things you come to miss when they're gone
Hey man,Meals are very high fat, thats what you want.and the injuries those seem serious did you get BPC157 for them? @zucchini
BPC157 is a peptide, I will do an article about it, its for recovery of injuries.Hey man,

Approved sources. Umbrella Labs will have itThanks brother. Let me know once you publish the article. Also where can I get it?
Canada?Approved sources. Umbrella Labs will have it
I just don't like people hogging equipment or weights for a long time when they are just on their phone.gotta love people. This is why I can't wait to quit my gym and get a home gym next year.
people are just idiots, especially in a gym.
Thanks!the food. Looks incredible. Nice, bedly of vegetables with the meat.
You are right, that's how I was able to get Test as well.you need to check the canadian sources on here for what they have.
A lot of sources that sell steroids will also sell bpc. It's in demand.
I will look into both.i would stack bpc + tb500 together.
They aren't cheap at all but they do work well.
I am trying my best! Everyone here being supporting and pushing me further towards better helps alot. Thanks man!You eat very good for a Canadian. Keeping your diet healthy is smart.
Thankyou!Breakfast, looks good. That's a nice meal prep.
All the sauces I use are sugar free and my hot sauces are most all 0 caloriesMake sure with that sauce, it doesn't have too much bad things in it.
Or you can make your own sauce naturally.
Yeah, I learned this a long time ago, used to watch alot of videos and read up alot of articles. I vary my grips depending on what I am working onNice shoulder day, man.
Really like the different exercises and the way you vary up your grips.

@zucchini Please boost the fats
Sounds good, but trying to keep the protein up and getting the fat even higher, I might go over 2k calories which i think is a good spot for me to keep.@zucchini Please boost the fatsstill a bit low.
Calories dont matter at all, it's an arbitrary number, why do you assume you need 2000 calories? @zucchiniSounds good, but trying to keep the protein up and getting the fat even higher, I might go over 2k calories which i think is a good spot for me to keep.
You need to increase cardio, this is why the ketogenic state is not coming. @zucchiniArms day today
Biceps:
Hammer alt curls 3x20 (45lbs dumbbells)
Concentration curls 3x10 30lbs each side
EZ bar Preacher curls 3x10 (70lbs ez bar)
One arm cable curls 1x10 20lbs 2x9 25lbs
Triceps:

Overhead cable extensions 3x12 (75lbs)
One arm cable pushdowns 3x10 (25lbs)
Skull crushers: 3x10 80lbs
Treadmill: 15 mins 7 incline 3 speed.
Pump in the biceps was great, triceps was good as well but not as good as biceps... I have been noticing this since i have been struggling on one arm pushdowns, i might switch to an overhead db extension next workout to see how it is.
But i am happy that my biceps are reacting well to almost every exercise i try now.
From my previous experience, when I would diet to get the far down a bit, I always found that me staying below 2000 calories was fruitful.Calories dont matter at all, it's an arbitrary number, why do you assume you need 2000 calories? @zucchini
Before training 20-30 and after training 20-30? Damn that's hard to do ngl. but I will try n give it a shot.You need to increase cardio, this is why the ketogenic state is not coming. @zucchini
