That sucks, man. Be safe.

Maybe it's like a snake bite and someone can suck your ass! Or is that too soon lol

Lol! Let me find some kinky girl to suck my quad till I'm good to go. I'm trying to be safe guys. Staying positive that I'll get to do my major lifts this week too. At some point
 
Also I've been sleeping 8-12 hrs a day. I work and sleep, eat then sleep again. On my days off I always train then sleep then eat then sleep again. I'm unsure if bad hormones are to blame or fatique accumulation from overreach is to blame lol.

Dude, I think I've been sleeping too much too. I'm always tired, it sucks. I slept at least 12 hours today including multiple naps and all I want to do is sleep right now, but I have some BS to get finished

Yeah I hate it. I'm leaning towards fatique accumulation being the cause maybe. How long have you been this tired?

This whole semester through now. I've had zero motivation outside of the gym.

Ah, I've been there. It sucks. I just had to decide to be more motivated and made it a habit. Mine isn't a lack of motivation but a strong feeling of fatique and if I lay down I'm out and asleep in minutes.
 
I hear ya. It just sucks that I have to pop caffeine to work up the motivation to do a little task that takes 30 minutes. Maybe I'm just a bum

Not headaches, but I have zero motivation to do anything and in extremely sluggish (like today, no caffeine)

Just sounds to me like your addicted to caffeine so I'd either lower your tolerance and suffer through a few days or create a more stable caffeine schedule to smooth out the highs and lows.

Sleeper stretch
Shoulder dislocationsx2, couldn't find hammer lol

Started to loosen up and was really getting the glutes to fire at the bottom.
Pause squat in flats with moderate stance
145x3x3, easy fast and actually hit depth with no hip pain or knee pain and control with glutes firing. Just happy hips opened up and surprised with my leg I could do most of this.
Notes: hip work was the hardest part of the day by far. Leg hurts. Still can't bend all the way yet I can squat after working into it? Beats me.
 
I'm not shocked that the Larsen presses felt unstable. Lol.

Caught up and agree with this. I'm constantly tired and do not have the opportunity to sleep.

I want you young bucks to set random alarm times in the middle of the night and have 8:30am being "man I really got to sleep in today" for me. Thanks guys


Congrats on the 6 bills pull ma man!

Thanks bud. After this meet I'll do it a few times just for you. But I'm not complaining I have some time to sleep. I'm grateful. I always respect what's parents due for their kids. You won't sleep for days and your kids won't be any the wiser, sure your significant other may never hear the end of it but the kids are never effected.
 
Woke up feeling rough today. My original guess was correct. I have been crushing my estrogen levels. Does not hold well for squats tonight but means I can address it before the meet. Knees hurt sitting down and getting up from a chair lol.
 
Will update fully soon. Thanks to hjh and the tightest wrap I've eve had I hit

530x1, 15lb all time PR
545x1, 30lb all time PR
Tapered today.

Fatigue accumulation is real right now. Each session is a test of mental toughness like no other.
 
Lou forgot to mention how easy 545 was. If he maintains that same force production, 575+ is going down.

Notes: the hardest part of this workout was the warmup. That's how beat up I was. I had an up call from a strict depth lifter to make sure I wasn't high. I had the tightest wrap ever on the PR sets. Not only did he wrap as tight as he could I also pulled it and helped him on each rotation. Brutal. The rest was light rehab and balance work. Finally know what carryover in wraps feels like. Came forward a touch on the 545 then corrected and smashed it. I can't wait to rest.
 
I was 220 about 5-6 days ago. I'm now 216 again. The fatigue accumulation from peaking as tanked my appetite and sleep patterns. One more day. Maybe some burgers too lol.
 
Careful as you let estro come up some to watch weight - if your knees hurt now, you're dried out some and you'll gain some weight in subq water as you return to a healthier range. Does your bird still fly at full force? If the soldier is still swinging, you didn't crush it too bad too long.

Awesome squatting man; wish I was hitting those numbers! This meet has the potential to be a very very good day for you it looks like!

Strong is not the word I would use. Libido has dropped as has force. I'm aware some bloat will come. I'm sticking to my macros for the most part ATM. I will ask you this. I have liquid adex. Its from rui and very strong at .5mg EOD. Would you drop to .25mg EOD or somewhere between those two? Since I can do so with the liquid and couldnt do it with pills.

Thanks man! It is shaping up well. You will get stronger and better. I honestly should be much stronger then I am in the squat. 3 years ago at 201lb raw with no wraps I squatted 475 in my first meet. So my progress hasn't been THAT great in the raw relm.
 
If you're on .5mg eod currently then yes, see what .25 eod does to remedy this. If it drags its feet coming up you could try e3d, or add more dbol (especially last week prior to meet). But you really don't want estro to rise too rapidly, so be patient - I personally think violent increases in estro affect gyno worse than total e2 levels.

Cool ill make that change thanks. Dbol is 20-30mg a day. Not consistent right now as I find my sweet spot and timing. Thanks for the help. I have ralox I havent had to use waiting for me if I need it. Plus I already have gyno that has been reduced from the Dex. So its deff low.
 
Yeah if gyno is shrunk even while on dbol and no nolva or ralox you're def crushing it good right now - my gyno swells while on any steroid (like a chick on her period, really). So you're low. Just pull back some and listen to your body.

Thanks bud. I will say I look really good ATM. But looking good doesn't mean a big total lol! My gyno wasn't even flaring when my e2 tested at 100. Which I was shocked about. Trest made it bad hence the high adex dose.

I crushed my estro in a letro only cycle, for a good 6wks I bet couple years back. I didn't really know what I was doing at all. Gyno shrunk a lot, but it comes back as soon as you finish the taper off really. Nightsweats, achey painful popping joints, hot flashes, no libido. Pecker didn't really work worth a damn for several months. I looked awesome as dry as I was, but there were multiple girls I had to send home disappointed lmao

I'm having nearly all of those sides ATM and just assumed it was all from meet prep. God idk what I'm gonna do when I feel good once this is straightened out. But I feel ya on sending girls home sad when estro is all jacked up. Lol

Good news on the joints man. I took OG erase 2-3 years back and that tore my knees up, i couldnt even imagine what overdosing a legit pharm ai would be like.

It was compounding I'm sure. But the old erase never really got to me that bad. It was bad with the a Dex though.
 
Nice benchin', Lou!

Arimistane (Erase) doesn't actually lower estrogen very well at all - most bloodwork shows it's almost negligible. But it does dry you out a lot, including the joints - it's harder on me than most real AIs.
