Man, if I had the funds, I would definitely fly out to where you are at just for that comment and work out with you.
Bros, I would train with you for sure. I would bring my cousin too. He's a big BBC as well. We both would push you hard.
Great log update. Love the change up on legs. Work is going greatView attachment 182457
Changed things up a bit today. Replace the back squat with some belt squat and pushed a bunch of weight. Felt good to really turn my legs into jelly

Weekly Symptom Tracking
•Overall I still feel good with plenty of energy. I had a few rough days this week but I’m still feeling on top of things. I had a bit more soreness due to the increase in volume.
I guess 227kg belt squats for 12 -15 were a little more than my ass was expecting

Anxiety / Irritability 2 Mood 0 Libido 10 Sleep Quality 7 Appetite 6 Joint Health 4 Water Retention 2 Acne 0 Soreness 8
Notes:
I’m chomping at the bit to increase my testosterone and start a bulk but I know I need to wait for my bloods to come back good. I’m gonna do a mail in blood test tomorrow that should have my e2 and then I’ll have my doctor run it again at the end of the month. After that one comes back I’ll be ready to push as long as all is well.
On a separate note, I had a great time talking to @Mobster and @stevesmi for this podcast. I hope you guys get something out of it. I imagine we will have some more to talk about after I get a good blast in since things have changed quite a bit since our conversation.

Good you made changesToday was a killer but unfortunately I did have to change up my pressing movement for my shoulder. The landmine floor presses were just not working. I tried a few different things and the main ones I came up with that didn’t hurt were close grip pushups with my hands around a slightly suspended barbell, superset with cable flys. Then I got to thinking and I pulled a bench over to the cable machine and did presses where I crossed my arms in front of my body alternating which one was on top and that made my upper chest cry but also didnt hurt my shoulder. Still on the lookout for more options but those really got my chest good.

You know what, one month doesn’t make any sense to me for esters like Deca, EQ, or even long‑acting Masteron, because the saturation period for Deca or EQ is about three weeks of use. So in my opinion, it’s not worth the effort.Great workout this morning. I feel good and had lots of energy. View attachment 185414
@US-pharmacies
I was listening to a podcast and it got me thinking. Does anyone ever run short low dose cycles of different peds to see how they react with their specific body? For instance a short test cycle followed by a short break then a short test and mast cycle and another short break then a test and EQ cycle (maybe a little longer for the EQ) the a break then a test and deca… with monthly bloods. I’m thinking a month on and a month off but I don’t know.
My question would be what would be the best dosage for each and is a month long enough to see what the compound is doing in your body with the exception of EQ?
Just thinking
Thanks. That’s exactly the kind of info I’m looking for. If it doesn’t make sense then it’s clearly not worth it. I’ll just run a regular 8-10 week high test only cycle like I was planning and make sure I get good bloods for that. Then the next will be a longer test and EQ cycle. Then I can try something else after that. I’m really curious about how each different compound reacts in me specifically and I’d like to find the most efficient way of figuring that out.You know what, one month doesn’t make any sense to me for esters like Deca, EQ, or even long‑acting Masteron, because the saturation period for Deca or EQ is about three weeks of use.

If you want to run short, rotating cycles, then six weeks on short esters would make more sense. But I played around with that in the past, and even those six‑week runs felt like too little time to really make proper use of the compounds — there are too many fluctuations afterward.
Exactly. Just remember that the foundation here is nutrition and the appropriate dose of testosterone — whether for building muscle or for cutting.Thanks.

you can do short cycles that works but if you use long compounds like eq they have a long half life, you're not sure which aas is doing what at that stage @BigVelvetGGreat workout this morning. I feel good and had lots of energy. View attachment 185414

You could do that with the shorter acting counterparts, like mast p, npp, bold ace/cyp for example, but even then, being faster acting compounds they will hit harder and faster so you will likely feel sides alot more.Great workout this morning.

Just trying to lift like you big man. Just kidding. The belt squat is deceptive in my opinion. It feels like I can’t get a good tension on my legs unless I have at least 600 lbs on it for high reps. That’s where I start to feel it but it really kicks in when I get up around 700Nice work on hip belt squats
Belt squat is funny in the sense that it seems like the weight is lighter so I have to use more. But it feels good and it doesn’t put my shoulder in a bad position like a back squatMoving some nice weights there man, belt squat at 300+ is impressive
Yep, mobility daily and pt once a week. Next week I’m seeing an ortho that does some shockwave therapy and stem cell stuff so I’ll report back on how that goes@BigVelvetG shoulder issues are a HUGE problem. you working on mobility work daily? there are some decent YT videos on that. if you keep hammering away good chance you end up with a tear so don't push it
i gave up on pressing and militaries years ago. i do flat bench, regular rows and stuff like that. but nothing overhead or incline that puts pressure on shoulders.. otherwise they said i would get a full tear and need surgeryYep, mobility daily and pt once a week. Next week I’m seeing an ortho that does some shockwave therapy and stem cell stuff so I’ll report back on how that goes
I’m also avoiding any press movement or anything that puts my shoulder in a painful position like back squat. I can still overhead press and do cable crossovers and flys without pain so I’m still doing that. Also trying to focus on back work to build and tighten that up
Flat bench kills me right now both straight bar and dumbbell. I can do light incline dumbbell but that’s about iti gave up on pressing and militaries years ago. i do flat bench, regular rows and stuff like that. but nothing overhead or incline that puts pressure on shoulders.. otherwise they said i would get a full tear and need surgery
if its that bad i would say dump any sort of pressing for a while with substantial weight. just go super light to keep conditioning.Flat bench kills me right now both straight bar and dumbbell. I can do light incline dumbbell but that’s about it
Yeah that’s the plan. If it hurts the injury at all I’m not doing it. It’s frustrating because I was seeing some chest growth before and now it’s stalled.if its that bad i would say dump any sort of pressing for a while with substantial weight. just go super light to keep conditioning.

If it hurts the injury at all I’m not doing it. It’s frustrating because I was seeing some chest growth before and now it’s stalled.
You'll never go wrong with this type of training consistency. @BigVelvetG I like how you layer things. Now next workout maybe mix up the training and do the eight exercises in a different order.Monday and Wednesday workouts in line.
Had a bit of a hectic week but I’ve been getting it done. Cardio on Tuesday and Thursday

I like that idea. I always want to do my heaviest work first but the rest I can switch up. I need to swap out similar exercises as well to hit some different parts of the musclesYou'll never go wrong with this type of training consistency. @BigVelvetG I like how you layer things.

@BigVelvetG really nice man. I like the layout on the training that you're doing. It looks really solid and the repetitions are on point.Monday and Wednesday workouts in line.

Heck of a job on this my man. I like the different repetitions you're doing. I like the bicep curls and cable push downs. That's what we like to see. @BigVelvetGMonday and Wednesday workouts in line.

Yeah you just don't want to get bored or have your body get used to the same workouts.I like that idea. I always want to do my heaviest work first but the rest I can switch up. I need to swap out similar exercises as well to hit some different parts of the muscles
I can do all the sets of dips to at least 15 then I use a thin blue band to get the last couple but I’m working on getting rid of that bandNice workouts there mate. Covering everything well.
Are those dips all unassisted? That many sets of 20 is crazy!
if you can get it ramped a bit fastedI generally only get cardio for an hour 3 days a week on not lifting days right now. When I ramp back up in a few weeks I’ll go to a 5 day lifting phase with 20-30 min cardio daily and a longer session on Saturday.
@BigVelvetG way to keep track of everything man. It definitely does help.Monday and Wednesday workouts in line.

Also, if you haven’t read it yet, check out Dorian Yates, from the shadow.
It’s a great book. I’m listening to it right now. View attachment 193264
good day but not sure what the reps are
Ive never been into cardio like that, I just grind out my time on the ellipitical, but looks fun
It’s basically CrossFit-light. I just do whatever the trainer says do for 45 minutes and try not to stop. I usually leave in a dazed pile of sweat. My wife runs the gym so I get free membershipIve never been into cardio like that, I just grind out my time on the ellipitical, but looks fun
Bro I love checking in on your log and seeing the old school Yates style hand writing log you keep. I like the daily rating of mood, appetite, etc too, very detailed. Also, your zero fucks half naked pics still make me giggle and that's how I knew you were militant.
Ha! Some girl wrote that whiteboard. I just snapped a picture of it after getting my ass handed to me for nearly an hour.Bro I love checking in on your log and seeing the old school Yates style hand writing log you keep.

Your white board writing is so perfect you must have crouched down at the bottom to write the Plank Jacks and Walls Balls LOL.
Anyone who's ever done wall balls know they are no joke! You grind hard brother and it shows in your pics, great work!
Hahaha now this all makes sense!!! I didn't think that was your writing it was too 'cute'.Ha! Some girl wrote that whiteboard. I just snapped a picture of it after getting my ass handed to me for nearly an hour.
Amazing chins bro! And cable pushdowns, nice weight and volume. I haven't done cable shrug in a long time I'll keep that in mind!
I saw somebody doing them a few weeks ago and I liked the up and back movement pattern. I think it’s a good switch up every now and thenAmazing chins bro! And cable pushdowns, nice weight and volume. I haven't done cable shrug in a long time I'll keep that in mind!
100% I'm gonna try these when my deload is done. Traps have always been a sticky point for me despite the fact our damn androgen receptors are supposed to be super densely populated in that area.I saw somebody doing them a few weeks ago and I liked the up and back movement pattern.

Nice looking workout there mate. Good selection of exercises. Weights looking good on the deadlifts with 130 for sets of 5. Good weight on the seated row as well.Wednesday workout complete.

Bloodwork
I got my bloodwork back and my e2 was back in range but my test was low and I was feeling it. so we bumped it up. I was taking 80mg a week. Now, I’m pinning 75mg Monday morning and another 75 mg Thursday evening. This already feels better.
Shoulder issue.
I also saw an orthopedic doctor and she did an ultrasound. Turns out I have subacromial bursitis, an old tear in the supraspinatus and scarring on anterior deltoid and a tight pec… we tried shockwave therapy on it and it felt better for a few days. We’re going g to 8 sessions of shockwave and see how it goes. I’m hopeful that this will get me some relief
Question?
In the meantime, I have another question. I did a search on the forum and it looks like guys have done a small dose generally half of their trt dose of deca for joint relief. Does anyone think this is a bad idea for me? I would split 75mg 2x weekly and take it with my trt shots. I’ve got a vial of it from @US-pharmacies looking at me right now….

It was only 80mg a week before the bloods.You're looking good in the piclean @BigVelvetG but clarify for the blood work you did 80mgs testosterone/week or 150mgs test/week? before the bloods above because your T levels are low!
