@rish bros the stretching and foam the bestUpdate
Been a bit of an average week training wise, been dealing with a bit of sciatic nerve pain which has been fucking annoying, seems to be coming right slowly now so hopefully it continues that way. Just treat this week as a deload week i guess.

Cheers bro, I dropped the fats slightly but still running them relatively high, getting blood work done this week so I'll see if I need to make any adjustments after thatare you still high on the fats @rish broly? i was looking back at the discussion
volume is very impressive
Yeah bro, it's super frustrating, it's healing now, but very slowly!Damn hopefully that sciatica heals and feels better that is frustrating.
try to adjust the fats they are real high brolyCheers bro, I dropped the fats slightly but still running them relatively high, getting blood work done this week so I'll see if I need to make any adjustments after that![]()
@rish looking jacked bro! Your must be a problem to roll with in jiu jitsu!Update
Been a bit of an average week training wise, been dealing with a bit of sciatic nerve pain which has been fucking annoying, seems to be coming right slowly now so hopefully it continues that way. Just treat this week as a deload week i guess.
Droped the calories slightly due to decreased training intensity (approx 4800 mon-thurs / 3900 Fri-Sun)

Weight has stayed stable at 110kg
110 is a stable weight for you and you look very lean on it, I'm surprised you're maintaining such good mass with your low doses, well doneUpdate :
Got blood drawn this morning, will post a bloodwork update when I get results back.
Blood pressure has been behaving, sitting 120/60 - 131/81 for the past week which is promising.
Still sitting at 250ml/wk Test E with 0.5mg Anastrozole Mon/Fri.
10mg Cialis on training days
4g beetroot extract
5g creatine
Added: 21mg B6, 900mg magnesium, 30mg zinc before bed last week too.
Weight is still stable at 110kg, food has still been a little lower (4500 / 3850 approx) due to reduced training intensity because of the sciatic nerve issue. It has improved a lot the last 4 days so hopefully we're on the other side of it now.
Pec/shoulder issue is probably at 90%, hopefully shoot for some PB's on the flat bench again next week.
Have been a little slack on the walks this week, have felt it with the appetite, definitely harder to get the food down without that little cardio boost.

Cheers bro!110 is a stable weight for you and you look very lean on it, I'm surprised you're maintaining such good mass with your low doses, well done
the squats, what were the weights? @rish
Very impressive genetics, you should consider stepping on stage. @rishCheers bro!
My natural test level was 300-400, which i sat comfortably at 100-104kg, so I'm guessing that's why I'm responding well to the low dosing. Be interesting to see where my test is sitting now.
The squats were just with the empty bar, tried 60 kg and my sciatic nerve wasn't happy about it, so I'll give the squats another week before I try hit those again.
To be fair I have been thinking about it, I've got 1 more race commitment in October so after that I may consider doing a pre next year.Very impressive genetics, you should consider stepping on stage. @rish
I think 2026 is a good time for a show, @rish many would love to sponsor you.To be fair I have been thinking about it, I've got 1 more race commitment in October so after that I may consider doing a pre next year.
The last time I competed was about 10 years ago.

@rish Good job. Getting the blood work done.Bloodwork update
I thought i had requested E2 and SHBG as well but apparently they weren't included...
high doesnt mean its ok brolyHey fam, cheers for the concern.
My AST/ALT has always run high (pretty consistent over the last 3 years). Since my GGT ect has still been in range, ive always put that to training volume/intensity rather than liver damage (i trained legs the night before so I'd say that would more so be why, ive never had a deload/ rest day before taking bloods).
Same thing with my kidneys, elevated CK values but eGFR is still in range so I'm not too concerned there either.
@rish good for you getting bloods man. Way to stay on top of your health!!Bloodwork update
I thought i had requested E2 and SHBG as well but apparently they weren't included...
Yeah i agree those numbers are good and needs to he addressed asap.@rish redo with e2 please
but your bloods not good alt ast and kidneys not good broly
that high fat is kicking your livers butt too much fat imo
@rish welcome back brolyUpdate
Apologies for the little hiatus, got sick 2 weeks ago and had a few things going on (mostly just lazy with updating my log, but whatever) Training maintained consistency, just lowered calories while I was sick due to lower training intensity.
I did give lowering my fats a go, subbed out eggs for lentils/split peas for 4 days. The digestion wasn't liking the increased food volume though (250g of.split peas-raw to get approx the same protein content as 4 wholesome eggs and 6 whites, which is what I usually have)
I also did get my E2 tested, came back at 111pmol/L (30.26 pg/ml) so all good there.

@rish Sometimes sicknesses are just part of the game. But I'm glad you came back strong. The posing routine. Looks fantastic. You got a great backshot.Update
Apologies for the little hiatus, got sick 2 weeks ago and had a few things going on (mostly just lazy with updating my log, but whatever) Training maintained consistency, just lowered calories while I was sick due to lower training intensity.
I did give lowering my fats a go, subbed out eggs for lentils/split peas for 4 days. The digestion wasn't liking the increased food volume though (250g of.split peas-raw to get approx the same protein content as 4 wholesome eggs and 6 whites, which is what I usually have)
I also did get my E2 tested, came back at 111pmol/L (30.26 pg/ml) so all good there.

@rish listen this is a good updateUPDATE
Still cruising at 300mg/week test, cals have stayed pretty consistent 5100 mon-thurs / 4300 fri-sun.
Going to start dropping the cals a little bit in the next few weeks, give my digestion again bit of a rest and hopefully drop a couple of kg's leading upto to the race on October.
Weight is stable 112.5-113kg, plan is to drop to 104-106kg by 10th Oct.
Trainings have been good this week, strength is still going up slowly and niggly injuries are all coming right.
