    FIRST CYCLE (test only)

    The biggest reason I'd avoid it at higher body fat is that sides will be worse. More fat means more aromatization of the test into estrogen, which will make the fat loss a little harder and will also just make your cycle harder to manage generally.

    I'll give it a shot for all of us and let you know how it goes.

    I hear insulin, GH and tren together are the secret for that. Give it a try and let me know how it works lol.

    I want to come back down to Texas next year looking like a completely different person from getting so fucking stacked.

    I personally love it when I have to update my wardrobe from getting too fucking yoked. Hoping to have to do it again real soon.

    Yeah, think it's a wait and see for now. The way I had envisioned it would be a growth phase to kick off the year, a health phase to get my blood work looking right and just maintain what I can, and then go into prep for the target being a late Q3/early Q4 first show, but I'm kind of going to...

    Sticking with the TRT and low dose GH for now since that has been treating me well enough, but depending on when we target for the show, I may start dabbling end of this year/early next.

    That's the plan. If I want to ever really be competitive at Classic Physique, I probably need to walk around between 220-230 off-season weight, but don't imagine that will happen any time soon no matter what I take lol. Think my weight cap is 202 stage weight for my height, so I'm a long way...

    100%. A big part of my rehabbing back was working back up to heavy RDLs and 45 Degree hypers. The spine will never be as stable as it once was, but I can build every fucking muscle around it until it is close to the same. Coach switched that exercise to a leg press, so that should resolve the...

    How old are you and how long have you been training for?

    Honestly, still a solid squat even with the back issues. 5 weeks feels like plenty of time to settle it out. Are you using BPC and/or TB500 or anything like that? Might help speed things along if it's soft tissue.

    Might give it a shot. Coach wants these done with a more posterior focus anyway, so I had my foot way up on the platform and kept vertical shins. The nerve damage is at my L5 and S1 nerve roots. For some reason, unilateral leg exercises seem to impinge that more and cause these problems. Assume...

    Yeah, had hoped doing them on the pendulum would help, but no dice. Knew I couldn't do a regular BSS or split squat from past experience, but figured I'd give that a try this week and see how it went.

    Had a call with the head coach last night to do a physique review and talk about possibly competing. He's very happy with the progress I've made since March (and so am I, frankly). Wants to stay the course and check-in on the physique again in 2-3 months since I've been making such solid...

    I've really only ever used gear to maintain muscle when cutting. Would not want to seriously diet down without at least something anabolic in the mix. But as long as you avoid the real wet stuff, you should be able to run your regular-way blasts while still chopping down body fat and weight...
