Workouts: Continuing to feel strength increase and having no issue with recovery. Drop sets seem to be doing a great job targeting my weaker muscles. Made some adjustments to movements to spare my spine some stress, seems to be working well so far.
Food/Digestion: Digestion is still great, no issues. Honestly my biggest complaint right now is that I want to eat more, but I don't think I should due to rate of gain.
Self-Image: Overall I feel like I'm making some decent progress, legs and chest specifically seem to be responding well. I have put on some fat in my abdomen and lower back, but reluctant to lower calories anymore.
Injuries: L5-S1 degenerated, this just is what it is until I decide to get a disc replacement. May have aggravated my wrist moving some furniture around, but nothing major.
Current Issue(s): #1 - Sleep is still not consistently good, but appears to be improving. I've been swapping back and fourth between USP and Dragon Pharma HGH to see how that impacts and I'm starting to suspect the Dragon HGH is problematic for me. Going to call this one resolved, just making some minor adjustments with HGH to stop my arms falling asleep and waking me up.
Current Issue(s): #2 -
Very slight nipple sensitivity and very, very small lumps under areola (rice grain or smaller at the moment). Labs tomorrow to see whats going on and can respond with arimidex dosage and tamoxifen. Tiny lumps are present but 10mg of tamoxifen has reduced all sensitivity so should be resolved. Will probably stay on tamoxifen for 10-15 days and then remove and see how I respond.
Current Issue(s): #3 -
L5-S1 disc issue is fucking up my ability to target core. Switching to lower weight higher volume training style, as well as removing toes-to-bar movement and replacing with reverse cable crunch. Resolved, adjustments made a big difference, no discomfort.
Adjustments
- Calories - No change
- Gear - HGH from 3 IU to 2 IU
- Auxiliaries - Added tamoxifen
- Peptides - Added TB-500, lowered BPC
Workout - Pull
Workout felt great made some minor adjustments: swapped machine low row for cable low row to spare my spine some stress, and added concentration curls to the mix for bicep peak. Drop sets have me leaving the gym with my back actually sore which is a struggle for me.
