In my powerlifting programming when I get to the week that I start not completing my reps at my 5x5 i then drop to 3x5 using the same weight I failed at then i continue the progressive overload. Then when my 3x5 fail I go to 3x3. Then when the 3x3 fail i deload and start over again at 85% of my 5 rep max at 5x5 my t2 exercises also drop to along with the 3x5 to 4x6 and then 3x3 to 4x4 but continue the progressive overload through the whole block. Then when i deload I start my 4x8 at 55% of my 5 rep max. Only thing that doesnt follow this progression is the T3 exercises. They stay at there weight until the amrap on the last set hits 10 additional reps. Then I will increase the weight. I am folllowing this programming until May Then I will start my programming to peak for my testing of my 3 lifts the week before I turn 50. MY goal is to reach a total of greater then 1000lbs for 5 rep maxes on the 3 powerlifting lifts. I will probably reach this before then so I may change my goal. When I tested for 5 rep max's for this block I am currently doing I was already at 930lbs. My goal then was to reach a total of 1000 lbs for a 1 rep max on the three lifts but I can probably hit that now. Then when I hit 50 years old in August I am going to make a new goal. I am thinking heavily about doing a cut and get down around 200 lbs since I have been bulking for strength since I started lifting September 2023. Then after that cut get back to pushing the total higher.
That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. I use EAA's and electrolytes with my preworkout on the drive to the gym. I think that Oxandrolone is kicking in making me hungry. It just started this week and I have noticed I am getting more pump in my right calf and right glute while working out. I then noticed today i got a pump in my lower back on the treadmill. It all goes away after i leave the gym. I could increase my taurine but I think for now see how it goes.
How many mg a day of psyllium husk should I take? I am glad you mentioned that I am about to order some supplements and can added it to the order.
You will surpass that goal. My goal is a 1850 total on the 3 lifts by end of next year.
Nice, I am watching your log. Do you have your training planned out until end of next year already?
the issue with AAS, especially at PED dosages is they make the body more insulin resistant. so you will find it more comfortable to spread out carbs but you won't die .. certain steroids are much easier to fast during. i can tell you if you try and fast while on tren it won't go well, the sides will get really bad

No I just self regulate everything. Basically just keeping reps in the 3-5 range in prep mode and increase weight each week or every other week. Also do a ladder up to maxes every 2-3 weeks on peaking phase and then dropping back and doing some working sets of 3-5 with lower weight to keep fatigue high so we can get a really good taper effect when we taper. I figure we will do 3-4 week taper this time. My wife peaks in 3 weeks of tapering while I peak on 4 so we will compromise. Probably go 3'weeks taper. To be honest I have no idea what my workouts will be until the day of. lol. It's not rocket science though. Increasing weights each week works until it doesn't. I am always on top of it though. Just lower the volume when needed as long as u can keep fatigue high. The whole key is to be able to stay relatively injury free and things go very well.
Good to know. Tren is not on the radar anytime soon or maybe never at my age. This is my first time doing anything with my TRT and it's only the 50 mg of Oxyandrolone split into two dose daily. Doing 8 weeks of this total. Then going to stop get blood work and see how that looks. Then cruise on TRT. Then later will try a higher testosterone Enanthate cycle maybe 400 or 500 mg a week. I am still in the beginner phases. If I was younger and still could produce normal testosterone I would have pushed my natty abilities first for many years. Glad I found a place to help guide me through all this and not guessing at it alone.
You really should look into deca. At our age it's a must. Sure lubricates the joints. 200mg is enough if stacked with test.
Ok I am looking to do a higher testosterone cycle in the future will look at adding in some deca. Haven't fully decided what I will do as my next cycle yet. Still learning about all the stuff out there.
No rush you have plenty of time.
psyllium about 20-30 grams per day but you need to drink a LOT of water bro gallon per day @kcates
EAAs before training mean you not fasted bro better you be fasted training @kcates
More water maybe. I doubt I get more than 6 pints
What about taking creatine, taurine, and pre workout before working out, do those make me not fasted either?
IF they are raw powder no sugar or fats or proteins added, you're fine, minus the taurine @kcates
