how is your sleep? do you take, or have you thought about using a sleep supplement on cycle?
My sleep is pretty decent, I don't wake up until the morning usually. I think its hard to get out of bed mostly because its cold as **** and I'm on holidays haha. Haven't had any more headaches over the weekend, went through a heavy leg workout with no issues this time so I think it was probably just my body adjusting to the compound.
-Weight: 272lbs/123.3kg
-Weight gained since beginning of cycle: 6.5lbs
-PR's from todays workout: Did front squats last night, 110kg for 3 sets of 6 reps. I haven't done front squats in ages but since doing them last my regular squat has gotten a lot stronger, so 110kg was a PR for me. I went as deep as possible on them too. Followed that up with hack squats, 3 plates a side for 5 sets of 6-8 reps. Then did some ghr, managed 4 reps with my bodyweight then did sets of 12 with some assistance from bands. Then some leg extensions and seated and standing calf raises (3 sets to failure).
My quads feel ruined today, I really want to get some more size on my quads during this cycle. Seeing as I usually squat in a powerlifting style using my posterior chain more than anything else I've been left with a big arse and 28 inch thighs but very little detail or shape in my quads so I'm going to be working on hack squats/leg extensions/front squats a fair bit from now on.
-Side effects: Headaches are pretty much gone for now, I woke up with a couple of zits on my shoulder today, not really worth mentioning but I'll keep my eye on it. Also bought some benzoyl peroxide face cleaning stuff just in case.
New breakfast for extra protein:
6 whole eggs scrambled 36g
1 tin of tuna mixed in with it 16g
1 tomato cut up and mixed through
1 cup of raw oats
1/2 cup whole milk
2 scoops whey 50g
1 scoop waxy maize
500ml whole milk 17g
So meal 1 has about 120-130grams of protein, not sure on the calories but the food I eat for the rest of the day is a bit more calorie dense, 1 day ends up being around 6-6.5k calories
