TRAINING
DAY FIVE (
lower + arms)
(
4H, 2G, 4Q, 3B, 2T)
- Lying Hamstring Curl: (2) 51kg x 12, 12 (unchanged)
- Leg Extension: 61kgx15, 61kgx13 (
1 rep for set 2) - I’ve brought the seat back for these & dropped the load a little to engage more rec fem. Definitely feel it in the anterior/ middle quad more intensely (including DOMS) vs regular, more upright positioning of the backrest

- DB Walking Lunges: (2) 20kg DBs for 15 reps/ leg (unchanged)
- Good Mornings (v-squat machine): 105kg for 2 sets of 15 (
2.5kg/ set)

2.5kg for set 2)
- Close-grip Smith Machine Bench: 32.5kg for 2 sets of 12 (
2.5kg for set 2)
RECOVERY
This week
completes week 8 of my training block.
Next week I will implement a
training de-load to rinse off some fatigue + get my recovery back up to speed. During my de-loads, I strip volume back. My approach is to do a single working set of each exercise. I’ll either match the previous week’s load/ reps for that set, or capitalise on the extra energy by increasing the load. It really boils down to how I feel that day, as recovery is the priority.
If I am able to
increase the load for the single working set,
great! - I’ll use that as the
baseline or ‘start point’ when I begin the
next training block.
Food is high,
bloods look good, and
menstrual cycle has been restored post AAS use - which gives me the
green light to
go ahead with the
next part of this
push phase 
(props to
@RGSX for helping to keep my health in-check)
One thing I’m brining more attention to is the recovery of my joints and muscles. It does get tougher as training continues to progress, especially since I’m unassisted at the minute. When systemic inflammation begins to climb, it can have flow on effects to sleep, mood, and digestion - which can really impair progress.
I’m going to be utilising
BPC157 &
TB500 (500mcg each/ day). It will be utilised pre-bed to get the most benefit of the
anti-inflammatory and restorative effects,
without interfering with some of the necessary inflammation that occurs due to training (as some degree is essential for muscle growth and adaption).
I’ll continue to use 1iu of HGH each AM alongside these peps.
I’ll use my regular log updates to report back on my experience using these peps ‘
proactively’ - to facilitate improved recovery. I’ve heard it being said that the ‘anabolic’ effect that these peps can have is their ability to recovery joints and muscles at a faster rate,
which by extension, creates the
conditions for better training performance to occur (the
real driver of growth).
This
could be interesting, I’m very
data-driven so any subtle changes won’t go unnoticed by me. I’m keen for this next chapter of my build phase & to see where I can take it
Most of the user reports surrounding these peps are cases of post-injury protocols (where they do appear to be highly effective) - so I’m interested to see what they can do for an injury-free (knock on wood) but heavily trained individual like myself.
For sure I’ll be utilising
@Sassy's Pharmaceuticals BPC & TB. Self-funded (
I insisted! I like to contribute where I can) so you’ll get honest feedback from me (although you can always expect transparency from me regardless).
TD post (
& more) to come
My one sit-down coffee for the week (it was so good that I had a second):
