Never in my life that I can remember have I had visible abs. This is my first time ever trying anything like this.
I haven’t added any psyllium. I didn’t think I needed to if my bowel movements were good and regular. Do you think I should?good bed there thats a pro one!and if you get hungry from anavar thats not usual, have you added more psyllium? @MrGainezzz
love that chart you got oldschool!
and sleep on point perfect

Just did a quick search on the benefits of psyllium and I didn’t realize it did all that. Prebiotic, cholesterol, satiety, blood sugar. I just ordered someI think you should for sure, it's not related to bowels, many factors
Yeah man it's good stuff!
I didn't look to see what happened with your shoulder but my right shoulder has acted up in the past as well. I do a lot of ROM exercises and 5lb dumbell stretching before every push day and so far so good. Hanging from a lat pulldown set for a minute or hanging from pullup bar helps my shoulder too. Targeting the muscles you want in the movements help to prevent any radiating shoulder pain. "Become one" with the muscles
This is basically the approach I’ve been taking. I’ve been warming up with a bunch of hanging scapula retractions, light rows and pec stretches and then continuing to stretch the pecs through the day on push days and squatting with a safety bar on leg days. I’ve also started using my shoulder reliever tool to strengthen it. It’s gotten more bearable this week so I’m gonna keep on keeping on till I see the PT next week hopefully.
Nice looking workout mate. Hopefully you can get your shoulder sorted. Things like band pull parts are good. Can do external rotations as well.

Decent workout today. I think I need to back off the heavy sets and do more high rep slow work with my shoulder acting up. 5 sets of 2 at 85% was a bit too much for it. I still feel good and the pump feels great.

good volume today
I like oldschool writing!you look good big chest, arms growing and shoulders showing @MrGainezzz
Bros. If you looking really like your shoulder hurting then definitely back off. Could mean you got shoulder tear going. Gotta let it heal up. Maybe get on some healing peptide ASAP. @MrGainezzz
a good workout if you ask me. @MrGainezzz You won't go wrong with this. You're looking super big as well.
Back off for a week or two
@MrGainezzz You definitely have a solid physique, man. Lots of muscle on your frame. From here let's dial things in and get things tighter.
40 minutes on the rower today 8500 meters. It wasn’t so bad and it made my back feel great. Maybe I should do this several times a week.
I think I can get it in as soon as I come home from work before dinner… definitely worth a try even if I just get in 20-30min a night and 40 on Saturday morning. I think it would show dividends.

45 minutes on the rower is no joke. Looks like your rowed your heart away. 8500m is amazing. @MrGainezzz
I was setting up my breakfast for tomorrow and thought I’d share.

good day today
@MrGainezzz very steady!I like your anavar intake but you not splitting preworkout sublingual? I suggest it
and your before after is amazing, you're like a model now compared to before EVO family suppport! well done!
and your wife is beautiful too!
@BeMe @HarleyGuy @vanlife_gymbum @s.gentz
@Allupfromhere @Pigsy @Dreamer @Freki @R.AP
@waggat @Yuri @rizzlekdizzle @Grumpy
@toddthelineman
So you think I should split it in half and take half sublingual? And the other half normal at the same time or take the other half later?
Or do you mean take half at my normal time about an hour before my workout then take the other half sublingual before I step off on my first reps?good day today

Huge transformation - and lovely that your wife notices
@MrGainezzz notebook for the win!!
I can never find an app that does exactly what I want. Plus, I write my workout the night before and then I have time to think about what I’m gonna do in the morning.
Hey man with shoulder pain on bench have you tried incline? I never do flat bench anymore and shoulder feels better for it - especially when you start benching over 100kg. @LevButlerov also got me onto doing a good pump set at the end of incline bench - 40kg for 30 reps really burns

Mate exciting times! Keen to see how you go. Macros look great! Would love to see a complete nutritional breakdown, and some bloodwork running that much VAR
How did you arrive at the 80mg/ week?
@LevButlerov
My bloodwork came back at 1400ng/dl when I was taking 100mg after 4 weeks so I dropped it to 80mg. I’m shooting to live right around 1000ng/dlMy E2 was on the higher end but not too badMate exciting times! Keen to see how you go. Macros look great! Would love to see a complete nutritional breakdown, and some bloodwork running that much VAR
How did you arrive at the 80mg/ week?
@LevButlerov
I ordered a pill cutter / crusher and I’ll start splitting the dose 25mg sublingual at 0500 and then the other 25mg around 1400-1500. Does that sound like what you’re saying?good day today

that will work, thats before training?
Yeah I get to the gym about 0530, red light for 20min, then lift. Honestly I’m trying to get 30min of cardio in around 1600 so I wonder if that will help
Today’s workout was fantastic. I tried something new today with leg day. I followed a John meadows style workout that left me with baby deer legs after. The main difference was working to failure on the first 3 lifts then adding some cluster sets in on several of the later lifts.
Lower weight higher rep foucs on the pause and squeeze can yield great results i do it a fair amount.
Do you put any honey or fruit in them? Needs some flavor!
@MrGainezzz amazing work man....keep killing it.......
Another 30 min on the rower tonight at 6300 meters.
Trying to get to 7000m in 30 min

Lev suggested I split my Anavar in half morning and afternoon and also take it sublingual. I started doing that on his recommendation and will keep it up.
8. What I’m Changing Next Week
-Always try to get more cardio sessions in this week specifically on the rower
9. Overall Mood & Motivation (1–10): 8
Summary of the week:
Still fighting with this shoulder but I went to the PT and it’s definitely an impingement in the rotator cuff. She gave me some rehab work that I’ll be adding in before each session I really like the changes I’m seeing but I’d like to see more come off the belly

bump the dips if you can
@MrGainezzz i think people on here should be mature enough to not consider a naked dude something sexual. and if they aren't then shame on them. anyway i like you posted this. can tell you aren't holding excess fat around the stomach and butt. that is a common issue with middle aged men
Thanks @stevesmi. I agree. And yeah, I just can’t get rid of that belly fat area. It’s hanging on hard
usually in men its the last place we store it. so you gotta keep losing body fat.
I just upped my Reta to 3 this week and I can probably drop a couple hundred calories. I’ve already increased my cardio so we shall see if it helps. I’ve also recently learned that my thyroid medication is probably making me hang on to fat that I would otherwise be losing. I’m about to change to an NDT from the levothyroxine that I’m on. Hopefully that will help too
Blood pressure looks really good, man. That is the most important thing. I like that you're also listing your headaches, and nosebleeds, and all the other stuff too. Seems like you're really staying healthy. @MrGainezzz
I definitely like the nude pictures. You should feel very open about posting that. @MrGainezzz I think it's very alpha to go around in nude. I walk around nude all day and night in my house.
My wife and I are the same way. It’s just more comfortable.
I’m really trying to stay on top of any issues and be honest with myself about how I’m feeling. I need to get a fitness monitor of some type that I can wear around. I just haven’t found one that I like yet
I always do a cluster set at the end of them to make sure I burn it out. I’ll do the last set, count to 15, then go for as many as I can, count to 15 and do it again, and then one more time. I try not to leave anything on the table
@MrGainezzz Bros, John Meadows is a good dude. I'm glad you're getting a good pump and you're pushing yourself to failure. That shows that you're dedicated.
That's good that your coach is challenging you. Metabolic conditioning 3 days a week is definitely something different. We don't see that very often. @MrGainezzz
He used to be a football coach for a few different colleges. It seems like he knows what he’s doing

Quick question for anyone. Has anyone experienced itching across the chest area using Anavar /proviron? Is this a sign of liver issues? I don’t think I have any other signs of issues. I ordered a urine test to check but I don’t know. I can grab a blood test early if need be. The itching isn’t terrible, just slight but I’ve noticed it for a couple of days.

nothing to worry about, likely just skin irritation @MrGainezzz
Thanks. It’s probably my skin getting used to the recent cold weather changes here.

Can see the difference man, your progressing really well
I generally shoot for around 2500 and I focus on eating protein first the I eat what I can of everything else. Lately it’s been everything else even with the Reta. Here’s today’s meals. This is basically what I eat every day with few exceptions
Thanks. It feels good to see some change for sure
nice - can see the abdominal fat decreasing nicely

Bro, psyllium husk with apple cider vinegar (with mother) before meals was a game changer for me. Then probiotics after eating.
Big difference in those before and after shots too great work, looking like BF% going down.
