Feel like that myself lol.. im here thinking im jist getting started, then i remind myself ive been slamming it for the last 8 weeks already haha.Was feeling pretty sore and tired so was probably due for a deload or a rest week anyways.

Looking at your before and after photos it looks like you’ve been flat out at it for the last 8 years bro, hard to believe how quick your results have been achieved.Feel like that myself lol.. im here thinking im jist getting started, then i remind myself ive been slamming it for the last 8 weeks already haha.![]()
Haha its been a rollercoaster of a year brother i can promise you that. I just want to slam in the rest of this year.. next year is what im truely excited forLooking at your before and after photos it looks like you’ve been flat out at it for the last 8 years bro, hard to believe how quick your results have been achieved.

Amazon in USA but not sure in AU.Cheers Lev, i’ll get online and see where i can get one.
Cheers bro, we got amazon so i’ll check it out.Amazon in USA but not sure in AU.![]()
yes should be easy to buy you'll see a huge difference on injury recovery.Cheers bro, we got amazon so i’ll check it out.
There’s a retailer over here that sells a brand called Dr.Pen red light.
Thanks Lev.yes should be easy to buy you'll see a huge difference on injury recovery.
No problemThanks Lev.
Ey mate. No dramas.How's the injury coming along?
Oh yeah sweet , great time to take them then. I wanna see the difference too.Ey mate. No dramas.
Plan to get some bloods done this morning cause it will be good to see after a rest from gym, i had a few elevated levels , mostly liver, and im hoping its because i normally get my blood done right in the middle of heavy workout days.
Lat Still a little tight, but not pulled or torn, will get back to gym this arvo with same style program and work on more reps at lower weights and really work on form.
are soreness there or bruising you see? @bullybreedEy mate. No dramas.

No bruises mate, i probably could have kept going but gotta start listening to body.are soreness there or bruising you see? @bullybreed
Smart move listen to your body dont go too hardcoreNo bruises mate, i probably could have kept going but gotta start listening to body.
Perfect trt numbers broSuper quick return on the bloods, i won’t bother putting everything up as it all came back in optimal range except Urea @ 9.1 mmol/L (3.0 - 8.0), possibly high protein diet.
The test and e2 numbers have massively dropped since going to 2 injections per week 0.14ml TestE 300 so i think i’ve sussed my trt protocol.

Dumbbell shoulder press can be risky getting the weight up, i think a plate loaded machine right now after your tweaked trap is a good idea. At least you can start it from a safe position![]()
Good push session, reps in that 12-15 range with short rest kept everything pumped and moving fast. Bench and incline dumbbells were clean with solid volume, you’re getting plenty of chest work in. Smart call swapping out the dumbbell shoulder press next time since it felt off, no point forcing something that tweaks you. Triceps finished strong with skulls, extensions, and push ups to failure, no wonder it wrapped under 1 hour.As per Levs recommendation i’m going for minimum 12 reps up to 15 reps. I’ve backed weight off, focus on form and TUT and a strict maximum 60 rest between sets.

Do you think elevated urea could be due to high protein diet?Good push session, reps in that 12-15 range with short rest kept everything pumped and moving fast.

Clean bloodsgood news!
Yes, elevated urea can definitely come from running a high protein intake since your body has to clear the extra nitrogen. If your kidneys are otherwise healthy it’s usually not a big red flag, just a marker that protein is high. Best way to be sure is checking creatinine and eGFR alongside it, that tells you if it’s just diet or if there’s more going on. @bullybreedDo you think elevated urea could be due to high protein diet?
Cheers bro, egfr and creatinine both in range.Yes, elevated urea can definitely come from running a high protein intake since your body has to clear the extra nitrogen.

Big day, dunes and beach walk in morning.
Dropped my tuna, potato, broccoli meal for scrambled eggs, rice and veggies. Will take me over the 4000 cal and raises all macros.
I’m happy to go over the numbers, last few weeks been weighing myself at gym same time of day, after session and a piss, consistently between 82-83kg so my weight is unfortunately not really going up, but i do feel like there is some slightly better muscle/tone to show for the work.View attachment 120330View attachment 120331
Yeah pull downs were good, machine is called lat pull down diverging, and i definitely saw how much stronger my right side is compared to left, so will be good to work on.How did you like the single arm pulldown?
Dinner looks spot on bro![]()

90kg squats for clean 12s with short rest is solid work, you’re pushing volume over load and that’s why the reps climb even if the weight feels lighter. Session time under an hour with that density shows conditioning is there too. DOMS across chest, tris, lats and now legs just means the strict form and tempo are doing their job, twice a week on this setup will drive size and endurance fast.Friday - Legs

Bench and incline pressing moved well, hitting double digits across sets shows your base strength is climbing steady. Pump work with laterals, rear delts, and pushups to failure filled the session out nicely, arms and shoulders definitely got lit up.

Thanks Lev. Like i’ve said a few times, i’m on the same meals everyday, i know i wouldn’t stick with it if i had to work out calories/macros daily. Might be boring but i can usually deal with it for about 3 months till i need a change.Bench and incline pressing moved well, hitting double digits across sets shows your base strength is climbing steady. Pump work with laterals, rear delts, and pushups to failure filled the session out nicely, arms and shoulders definitely got lit up. Good to see you meal prepping chicken and rice with fresh veg, that consistency on food will carry the training even further.![]()

Big morning, i’m not gonna get time to take my dogs for their arvo outing today so we did a touch over 10km this morning and my gym went fairly well considering i already felt like i did a work out.
I hate cooking mate, so yeah simple it is and i got 18 dinner/lunches ready to go.Brooo my kinda meal prepeasy and effective
Workouts are on fire bro!![]()
That’s a strong pull day especially after knocking out 10km with the dogs first, good work pushing through. Chin ups bodyweight sets after the assisted warm up looked clean, rows and pulls in the 50s kept the back under heavy tension. Biceps got hammered with barbell and preacher work, nice consistent reps across all sets. Finishing with cable crunches stacked like that shows the conditioning side too, 52 minutes well spent.Tuesday pull -

That’s the best way to run it, same meals keep it simple and you know exactly what results to expect. Boring isn’t a bad thing when the food is dialed in and you can run it steady for months. We'd love pics either wayThanks Lev. Like i’ve said a few times, i’m on the same meals everyday, i know i wouldn’t stick with it if i had to work out calories/macros daily.

Prob using when no one is there lol. Good glutes are important to a rounded physique. No one wants a flat assBro, i’ve never seen another bloke at my gym use that machine. What’s the go?
Even without music you pushed through a solid leg day, squats at 92.5kg for 12s show good work capacity and the hip thrusts at 120kg across sets lock in glutes strong. Extensions with pauses gave quads extra burn, and pairing ham curls with abductor/adductor work makes for a complete session. Calves got plenty of direct volume too, and finishing with cable crunches kept core involved. Good pace knocking all that out in just over 50 minutes.Wednesday - Legs

I like the hip thrust, i tried cable pull through last week but didn’t really get much activation.Even without music you pushed through a solid leg day, squats at 92.5kg for 12s show good work capacity and the hip thrusts at 120kg across sets lock in glutes strong.

Hip thrust is perfect for that, loads the glutes heavy without beating up your back like RDLs can when you’re already squatting. Cables never hit the same, bar on the hips with weight will light up glutes and hamstrings way harder. Keeping quads in a bit too makes it a solid swap while your back recovers.I like the hip thrust, i tried cable pull through last week but didn’t really get much activation.
Hip thrust burns the glutes and hammies and the quads get a slight squeeze too.
I’ve used this instead of RDLs cause i want to give my back a rest while doing bar squats.
Your listening to the wrong music then.Music mustn't make that much of a difference
For sure lolYour listening to the wrong music then.
@bullybreed I honestly wish they wouldn't play music at all in the gym. It's honestly pointless, as you said, most people have headphones and otherwise, I don't want to hear the music.Wednesday - Legs

Another solid morning before gym in dunes with dogs.
Wowie i just re read this and even made myself cringe lol genuinely no pun intendedbecause you know you can just get to work and it all up from there.
Yeah i’m loving the machine, just a 20 on each side but tempo something like 3 2 4 1 ( think i got that right) so i actually think i can feel the shoulder getting a pump which i find hard on db presses.Love the amrap burnout on the bench brother,
Hows the shoulder press machine going? Finiding it better then the dumbbells surely. Looks good bro and always nice to fine tune the weight to reps ratio because you know you can just get to work and it all up from there.
Man i struggle on this phone typing, i get all kinds a stuff coming up.Wowie i just re read this and even made myself cringe lol genuinely no pun intended![]()

Haha i was referring to the all up from there/Allupfromhere referenceMan i struggle on this phone typing, i get all kinds a stuff coming up.
I didn’t even notice it cause i’m use to seeing it with no spaces between the words.If your getting the pump it means the muscles is being targetedi like that machine too and regularly bring it in when im trying to progress weight. Every now and then ill bring the dumbbells back in just because i love the old school style of dumbbells lol.

nice push day, pressing numbers look steady and the drop set on incline dbs was a good call to squeeze more out without overloading. shoulders and tris got plenty of work too, those jm presses and v bar extensions will pay off once you keep adding weight. session wrapped in under an hour is perfect pace, no wasted time, just solid work. dunes with the dogs before training is a great way to get warmed up and start the day right.Thursday - Push

Good swap, jm press hits the tris hard without the same elbow stress and will help bring that left side up. Don’t worry about comparing weights, just keep pushing reps with clean form and it’ll catch up over time.First time doing JM press, i like it.

Yeah bro, i know, i don’t really care if i lift 1kg or 100kg, muscles don’t know numbers, just saying the db skull crushers not effective for me at current time.Good swap, jm press hits the tris hard without the same elbow stress and will help bring that left side up.

Haha dont think just because i throw the 45kg ez bar crushers that i would get 22kg dumbbell crushers done too lol.

Still 83kg. I’m gonna add another meal a day for a month and see what happens, so base is 4000 calories @35/35/30 plus a bonus meal on top. Today is subway foot long double chicken all salads salt n pepper.View attachment 123066
I herniated my c6/c7 about 8 years ago and since then my left arm stops arm has never been the same, when i do the db skull crushers i don’t even get a pump/lactic acid feeling in the tri, it kinda just stops working, hard to explain kinda feels like my brain doesn’t know it’s there.Haha dont think just because i throw the 45kg ez bar crushers that i would get 22kg dumbbell crushers done too lol. The bar provides a lot of stability with the heavier weight.
When i was trying to bring up my left tri, i would move between 2 exercises; tricep pressdown and superset with single arm D handle extension on my left.
Or dumbbell french press and superset it with single dumbbell overhead extension on the left. I would lower the weight on the main movement just to try and slightly mitigate systemic fatigue before i was able to super set the left arm.
Yo 83kg you and me are almost the same weightyou got me by a couple hundred grams though

I could inhale a subway footlong now after seeing this![]()
Whoaa thats pretty crazy bro, are any downward extention variations more engaging for you? Or is it just and load on the left that gives your grief?I herniated my c6/c7 about 8 years ago and since then my left arm stops arm has never been the same, when i do the db skull crushers i don’t even get a pump/lactic acid feeling in the tri, it kinda just stops working, hard to explain kinda feels like my brain doesn’t know it’s there.
My 83kg is wet bro, i’m not sure what i weigh fasted. When ever i weigh myself it’s at the gym, same time, have had breakfast and 2 pints of water plus the 750ml water/eaa during workout, i go have a piss then weigh myself so i try and keep the conditions the same. I’ll have to get some scales at home weigh fasted.
Not sure bro, no pain anymore, but can definitely say some exercises just kinda feel like i’m not getting pump before it fails.Whoaa thats pretty crazy bro, are any downward extention variations more engaging for you? Or is it just and load on the left that gives your grief?

Forgot earpods, won’t do this again,music they play in gym is shocking, so motivation down but still managed a good session.
12-15 reps max is sweet spot, feeling good pump and muscle connection in this range.
Yep i put some plug in ones in my gym bag now.@bullybreed man I’m with you when I forget my headphones that absolutely kills my workout. I keep two sets with me at all times now, but sometimes I still forget.
That old c6/c7 injury explains the disconnect, once a nerve takes that hit it’s tough to get the same activation back no matter the exercise. Best bet is try different tricep movements where you can actually feel the muscle working, cables or pushdowns usually give better feedback than skulls.I herniated my c6/c7 about 8 years ago and since then my left arm stops arm has never been the same, when i do the db skull crushers i don’t even get a pump/lactic acid feeling in the tri, it kinda just stops working, hard to explain kinda feels like my brain doesn’t know it’s there.

Yeah i gotta get a new set of scales, ours are all over the place, don’t hold zero so they ain’t accurate at all.That old c6/c7 injury explains the disconnect, once a nerve takes that hit it’s tough to get the same activation back no matter the exercise.

As for bodyweight, grab a set of scales and check fasted, it’ll give you a true baseline instead of the gym weigh ins after food and fluids. Tracking it that way will show the real changes week to week.![]()
Good squat work, staying at 95x12 next time makes sense till it feels smooth before loading more. Hip thrusts and extensions show you’re keeping volume balanced, and calves look covered with both seated and standing. Finishing in under an hour with that much machine and accessory work is solid pace, legs shaking after adductors tells you they got hit. Extra meal just adds fuel back, nothing wrong with that.Saturday - Legs

Yes, 95 is max for a while, i think mistakes i’ve made is trying to progress weight to fast.Good squat work, staying at 95x12 next time makes sense till it feels smooth before loading more.

Holding 95 steady is smart, building reps and control there will carry you further than rushing the weight jumps.Yes, 95 is max for a while, i think mistakes i’ve made is trying to progress weight to fast.
Extra meal is just for a month to see what happens, this is my calorie surplus phase and i can still see abs so im gonna have to add more or change training next “bulk” phase.
