Dont worry I was weary of using that stuff at first after a report or two and filtered it, Managed to get a refund on my second order and placed an order with UGL for some more Test P and a vial of Sus to try out, should be posting a touchdown this week.smart switch
happy to hear you're making smart moves
Might need some Klow for support on your next logger top up.
Feeling better with some rest got a nap in the afternoon and passed out pretty well last night, nice to mentally switch off instead of having this thing in my head saying must go to gym and lift. Kind of makes me feel lazy if I havnt done any gym for the day.Might need some Klow for support on your next logger top up.
@Pound2749 the leg training looks fantastic. I hope your elbow soreness can clear up. Try the Graston technique. It gets the blood flowing through your forearms.
Apreciated will look into it
What are you doing to mitigate it?
Amazing follow up man. That’s a good one.
Hopefully your elbow tendon issues can get better. @Pound2749 might want to look into backing off of it, especially on exercises where you are moving them too much.
Yeah might be worthwhile deloading instead of just pushing
Don't mess around with your elbows until the tendonitis goes away. You don't want to end up with a chronic elbow problem; then you won't be able to train at all. @Pound2749
Alright, I'll do some abs and cardio gym sessions and try focus on steps and sleep backing off from lifting till this clears up
@Pound2749 I got all the confidence in you. I like the leg raises and I like that you are thinking of switching it up to the hanging leg raises. Why not do a little bit of both?
Never really done them before, and when I see people doing them they tend to swing instead of performing the exercise properly, don't worry I'll give it a go with proper form.
Bros, I hate that sh*t. That's the worst type of injury. It makes it worse too because I'm a plumber. Sometimes I'm having to use the wrench and I can feel that pain too. @Pound2749
@Pound2749 Smashed your pull day bro!
That's a good idea. Chronic injuries are a huge problem as we get older.
Give you a lot of credit for pushing things.
Sometimes you just stick with exercises you know and have done hundreds of times, watched a few videos shouldn't be too difficult to add in between sets etc. working out in a commercial gym sometimes does my head in with people hogging equipment or getting in the way, spending so much time looking at their phones etc.
You might want to consider getting a home gym if it's bothering you that much or finding a gym that is less crowded when you like to train.
Actually thinking of moving to a more bodybuilding focused gym and it's cheaper too.
Yes you don't want to regret overdoing it and getting yourself injured.
Yeah today was another rest day, not many steps but has been good to wind down, maybe should end up getting a deep tissue massage and float in a isolation tank.
That's definitely what we want to hear. Keep it up.
For sure and also keep in mind that gyms do change. Sometimes they get better but most of the time they do get worse as the owners and management tend to stop giving a damn.
I tend to push hard when I'm in the gym, listening to music and dialed in whilst everyone tends to be taking up benches looking at their phones, people don't seem to care to rerack or return weights and equipment.
Yeah those types of gyms mean that they are not enforcing any rules. They're just letting people do what they want so it might be time to definitely change the gym. One person starts doing it, then two people do it, and so on. It's like people who don't pick up after their dogs in your neighborhood
I always bring a gym towel, am I crazy or not but most people in commercial gyms don't bring towels?
@Pound2749 hopefully that elbow heals up quickly. Those injuries that just keep nagging are the worse
It's a huge problem. You can spread some super bugs via your sweat
good training the volume is strong but if you feel tendon issue is it inflamed ?
It was inflamed but has calmed down, only certain exercises seem to affect it
get an infrared lamp
Based on the photos, I would completely disregard the scale for now. Although there hasn’t been a dramatic change in overall weight your appearance has clearly improved across all three pictures.View attachment 190375
Really loving working up a real sweat with cardio
Here is some progress photos
Early January
Early Feburary starting this log and @Unitedau Mots-c Reta Tesa and GH
Yesterday Late Feburary
Sure lighting is different January was around 108-109kg, 107.5 starting this log with 106.8kg being most recent
Appreciated, I'll also take fasted measurements and post them here, MyFitnessPal only allows 3 measurements but have a spreadsheet(multiple bodyparts)I'm going to fill out and post here weeklyBased on the photos, I would completely disregard the scale for now. Although there hasn’t been a dramatic change in overall weight your appearance has clearly improved across all three pictures.
In addition to the reduction in the love handle area there is noticeable improvement around the midsection particularly near the navel. The previous “hourglass” shape is starting to diminish which is a clear sign of progress. From my perspective that is tangible and meaningful results.
Continue to focus on visual progress rather than the number on the scale. I would also encourage you to share periodic update photos for objective feedback. Those who don’t see you daily are often able to provide a more accurate and unbiased assessment.
We had a productive discussion today on Threema, let’s continue building momentum, refining the plan and pushing forward.
Well done. You should be proud of the progress you’re making.
wow you're bigger and leaner amazing!View attachment 190375

105 protein for the whole day??? @Pound2749
128grams total, the red line is the amount im below the target of 230 grams, friday was abit of a busy day so easy to forget to eat, then I didnt want to eat as it was too late in the evening.
Sleep is hard for me too man something we both have to dial in
Yeah I need to cut water in the hours leading up to sleep, havnt taken any glycine in the past few days either, gets abit much pins pills powders and food.
Good looking workout even if it was lighter. I'd have all the back exercises at the start though so fatigued bi's don't affect those movements.
Really good progress in a short time mate. Definitely leaner and being that your weight is similar shows you've gained some muscle as well.View attachment 190375

can we talk about you drinking protein shakes and adding bars to bump this? @Pound2749 if you're busy eat a protein bar
Don't worry hit 229grams of protein today
Yes 1mg every evening, fasted right before sleep, it's been working well always feel recovered from my heavy workouts.
That’s good to know. How long of a fast usually? I’m just about to start next week. Was thinking of starting with 500mcg and tiltrate up towards 2mg if needed. Good to know 1mg is working well for you
Usually I don't want to have any food 2-3 hours before, but then again I'm on reta so digestion would be slow anyway.im not sure going up above 1mg would get you any more benefit better to stack ipamorelin for the GH pulse, just my 2 cents others might have more input on this. @Unitedau
I'm less worried now
Good stuff mots-c is great the stuff I got from @Unitedau has worked great. Reta would have done some positive changes to blood work, lower triglycerides etc but all depends on diet and what you eat.
Yeah bloody looking forward to it just quietly. Reta has been amazing so far.
That sounds like a plan 1mg assess for a couple weeks then tiltrate slowly up as required.
Will be going up Wednesday morning mate when I’m back from workwhen will you put up your log?
yup I heard thisWill be going up Wednesday morning mate when I’m back from work

Im pretty basic, some straps and a belt might be something I need to invest in.
Figure eight straps are mad and lever belt is best.
Is that an app or a program for all your tracking. Looks pretty neat
Yeah MyFitnessPal mobile app, but those screenshots are from the website

macros and foods seem dialed in
the core powered mac cheese is that a meal prep place?
Yeah their meals are in supermarkets or ordered corepowerfoods.com they are pretty good used them off and on for awhile the loaded Mac and cheese is covered in beef. Pull ups are something I'm afraid I'm bad at, I've used the assisted machine in the past, maybe I should add it in now that I'm leaning out and gaining strength.macros and foods seem dialed in
on training can you do pull ups too? @Pound2749
I see its a local thing
I've always found their macros to be well balanced over the other brand I previously was using, some meals being so much rice and just hard to consume that much on reta. They are kind of the original meal prep brand before all these new players showed up.I see its a local thing
I used to smash muscle chef meals all the time they were tasty af
perfect

I think it is a tight tendon which became inflamed, thinking about a deep tissue massage soon for some recovery.
nice
something I learned today
180 on the leg press is huge wow!
Personally used to Hammer strength equipment, I was really pushing hard to get those reps lol also was nice to use a proper hacksquat than the linear hacksquat machine.
hammer is the best, I love their machines, true deep pump in them!
Techno gym leg curls with this second set of pads on the knee is annoying, just why. Ended up just getting on another machine for leg extention anyway.
@Pound2749 keep up the good work, boss. I like the different stats that you put together. Gives you a good reference point going forward.
Bros, I think you should eat more whole food options. There is too much processed junk in your diet. Are you not doing any food prep? @Pound2749
