Ey bro, many thanks for the detailed reply.Hey brother log is fire and apologise im quite late in stopping by.
I understand where you at bro and have been there before with progress stalling or not progressing like i felt it shoud.
What time of day do you train? Or moreso what does your carb intake look like around your training sessions?
Something to consider also is progressive overload isnt always just increase in weight, can come from time under tention or further exhaustion eg drop sets, rp sets.
If you are specifically wanting to get stronger, why not take more of a strength approach for a few weeks to see how you respond?
Move back to a bro split with low volume higher weight. Focus on your bench first on chest day. Use the pyramid setup to get to working weight as in, do some mobility work at the start of your session to free up shoulders. First set run 15 reps of 50% of your current max working weight. Next set run 10 reps at 70% and the then your Acclimation set should be 3-5 reps of 90% max working weight. Now its time to work, what ever you max working weight was from the previous week add 5% more. Now your top working set just push what ever reps you can with proper form but dig deep too dont go easy on yourself. If you get more then 6 reps for this set your not pushing enough weight, if you cant get 6 reps keep pushing this each week until you can. When you reach 6 reps time to add another 5%.
Focus the majority of your carbs around your workouts pre and post if your training for strength your body will need the fuel.
This approach i used for all my bigger lifts when i wanted to increase my weights significantly. Even before using Ped's.
I definitely work on TUT and good form as a priority and weight progression as the secondary consideration, no point progressing if you have to take a month off with injury. For example on my bench press i always let the bar gently touch chest, hold there for half a second and way down try to count to 2 or 3 seconds, so i guess i could probably smash out a couple more reps if i dropped this style but im more interested in form.
I’m not really interested in massively increasing a certain number or smashing PBs every week, to be honest i don’t care if im lifting 10kg or 100kg, just as long as im in muscle hypertrophy im happy.
My goal is not to reach a certain number and not to complete in body building, i just wanna fill my shirt and shorts out and still have a 6 pack.
Unfortunately due to shift work my training times are all over the place, but it’s consistent and so is diet. As i’ve said to Lev, i make my diet at the start of program and will eat the same though out, at the moment it’s approximately 4000 cal at 35p35f 30. Im now feeling like this is overkill as i can feel more flab around the belly developing quicker then muscle, so i’ll keep at this for a while then next program/diet will be designed to lose fat and keep as muscle as possible leading into summer.
I’m very raw when it comes to proper training/diet etc always keen for advice.
My current protocol is 100mg test e per week and as of last week 3iu hgh before bed.
