After last months spike in restorative sleep im happy to see it staying at the same level.

Strain is the least informative reading my Whoop gives me as strength training produces low strain.
But its interesting to see the trends. Apparently my workouts this month was easier than in February.
Invalid Link Removed
Alot of yellow this month which is ok.
The one red recovery came on a Saunday and the reason is that I shared a pint of Ben&Jerry with my fiance on Saturday evening. Thats all it takes for my HRV and HR to go all out of wack.
Invalid Link Removed
I keep maxing out that sleep performance!
Invalid Link Removed
Her we can see the top behaviors that had an impact on my recovery.
100% Sleep - No shock there, enough sleep equals better recovery
Blue light Blocking Glasses - These have been a game changer for me
Added Sugar - This might be because I only add some sugar when i eat my protein pancakes on the weekend. I also sleep in a bit on weekends so it might not be smart enought to understand whats actually impacting it.

Ive now used CBD for 2 months and personally i felt the most effect the first month. The second month my HRV was never as high as the first. I have no stopped the CBD and it will be interesting to see what happens during April.
Invalid Link Removed
Last month showed a crazy improvment in both HRV and RHR. This month it still got better but at a lower rate.
It will be interesting to see if this dips down when CBD is taken out.

Cut is moving along nicely.
For March i dropped my calories another 200 on my workout days. So down 400 calories in total from my lean bulk and weight keeps dropping.
Plans for April
I am getting ready to finish my cut, but plan on running it our April as well.
Ive cut another 200 calories on my rest days (2 days a week) as I want to find a good way to carb cycle as i enjoy that.
So layout for the week is as follows:
Monday - Rest day: 2600kcal
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - Workout days: 2800kcal
Friday - Rest day: 2600kcal
Saturday and Sunday - Workout days: 3000kcal
Im adding 10 minutes on the eliptical after each workout and increasing my daily steps from 14 000 to 16 000.
Hopefully this will be enough to drop me down either to 83kg or below 10% on the scale.

It's directed to take 3 caps twice daily. If worried you could start with 1 to 2 caps twice daily and then bump up to 3 caps twice daily.

So for the M-Test you want to run the recommended dosage which is 6 caps a day. Split them up how you prefer, most do 3+3 but i prefer 2+2+2 (with meals for my part).
Unfortunately it is hard to get CEL and SNS in Europe right now. Predator has in stock and apparently they have a way to ship it without all the custom stuff. I havent tried it myself as their prices are pretty harsh. But they have both M-Test and Optimize-T in stock.

Had a solid green streak going there for a week, thats always nice to see.
The red day just means i had more food the day before haha.

I keep sleeping like the Viking I am! Great to see.
Invalid Link Removed
Her we can see the top behaviors that had an impact on my recovery.
99% Sleep - No shock there, enough sleep equals better recovery
Sound Machine - This is what i log when i listen to music untill i fall asleep. Seems to have some impact!
Late meal - This is when I eat heavy amounts in the evening. It always makes my HRV drop and RHR spike.
Invalid Link Removed
There we go. I used CBD for 2 months and now 1 month without and the data seems clear. Even though it felt like it worked great the first month it could have just been just random. Good to know, cuz its not cheap.
Invalid Link Removed
These numbers are just incredible. Im trying to think why this is happening. Is it because im now leaner? Maybe, but its not like i was fat before. Maybe its because ive been even stricter with my diet. So very few days where i eat everything in site.
Invalid Link Removed
Cut is over and Im really happy with my results!
Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
Plans for May
Now it's back to a lean bulk again and based on my training experience and age the experts recommend no more than a 0.5% to 1% weight increase a month. So no dreamer bulk for me! I will keep my calories realtively low so that I can allow myself 1-2 extra meals a week if I feel like it.
Monday - 2800 kcal (Recovery day)
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - 3250 kcal (Training days)
Friday - 2800 kcal (Recovery day)
Saturday and Sunday - 3250 kcal (Training days)
I'm going to do a 4:1 ratio of lean bulk and minicut, see how that treats me. So a minimum of 4 months in a lean bulk before i do a minicut. Will be interesting to see how this goes. Always fun to change things up.

Thanks guys. Cutting has never been a problem for me because of how structured I am. At this stage gaining muscle is much much harder. So if Im not on top of everything, 99% of my gains are water and fat. At my age thats just not worth it. So my "bulking" diet and cutting diet are pretty similar. Only with a few hundred extra calories a day when im bulking.

So about 2 weeks ago I ran out of M-Test after using it for over a year. You know how you get used to being in a certain state and dont really think about it anymore? Well almost immediately i started getting way more sore after my workouts. Nothing changed but the fact that I wasnt taking M-Test anymore. Very facinating.
So now im not running anything fun, just the basics. A bit boring to be honest, but im having a hard time finding anything worth my time in EU. So hopefully @sns8778 manages somehow to get his niew supplements to market so that I can partake in them!

Restocked on Intra Workout for the next 6 months!
- 2,5kg PeptoPro (15g per workout)
- 5kg Cyclic Dextrin (30g per workout)
- 100g Electrolytes (1-2g per workout will have to restock in a month or two)

What do you use to flavor these? Or do they come flavored already? Man, do I miss my HBCD intra-WO carbs... also, do you find PeptoPro to be bitter at all?
TheMrMuscle

PeptoPro comes flavored from Bulk, tropical. Its absolutely NOT the best tasting intra, but the effects are imo much bettet than anything else ive done intra. I mix it with a bunch of ice and put it in the freezer for an hour before leaving to the gym. It absolutely taste better when ice cold.

SNS Recomp20 LOG
Invalid Link Removed
It's finally time again for a log! It's been a while but I just haven't used anything worth logging. But I got a nice package in the mail this weekend.
Ill start off with the Recomp20 although ive gotten more that could be stacked I prefer to run them solo first ot see how my body takes to it. Then in the future I might do some fun stacks!
Dosing is pretty straight forward on Recomp20. 2 caps, twice a day.
I will take 2 with my pre-workout meal (meal 1) at 5am and 2 with meal 4 at 5pm.
So every 12 hour I will get a serving.
I've been Lean Bulking for 3 months now with very good results:
Invalid Link Removed
My plan is as follows:
August:
Add Recomp20 to my daily routine but without changing anything else. See what kind of results that yields.
September:
Potenitally increase my daily caloric intake while continuing with Recomp20.
October:
Based on how September went im either going to keep going with a Lean Bulk and Recomp20. Or add SNS ThermoScorch and SNS TTA-500 and run a mini cut.
November, December and January:
I will be out of Recomp20 and most likely done with a mini cut, so I'm going back on a Lean Bulk and adding CEL Ecdy-Plex.
Now, its not impossible that @sns8778 is going to release something else that I fancy at this time and get my hands on that. But if that happens I will update!
DIET
My current diet is a carb cycle setup as I love that. I do one low day (recovery day), 4 medium days and 2 high days (leg days). I also allow myself 2 free meals a week if I feel like it. Mostly it's some extra food on the weekend or if my fiance bakes or if we just feel like doing something special.
The last couple of years ive been following The Vertical Diet by Stan Efferding and i've never felt better. The diet revolves around getting enough of all the micronutrients thru a solid food selection and having optimal digestion.

TRAINING
Im lifting 6 days a week with 1 day completely off.
It's an Arnold/PPL hybrid.
Split looks like this:
Monday - Off
Tuesdays - Legs (with focus on hamstring)
Wednesday - Back and Chest
Thursday - Shoulders and Arms
Friday - Legs (with focus on Quads)
Saturday - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps
Sunday - Back and Biceps
Cardio
I'm following Stan Efferdings suggestion on doing 2-4 ten minutes walks post meals every day. The reasoning behind these walks are that they will improve insulin sensitivity, decrease gas, improve digestion, decrease DOMS and aid in recovery. I also walk my dogs a couple of times a day. I usually get from 14k to 18k steps each day.
Mobility
I start and finish every workout with mobility drills, stretching and foam rolling.
I usually spend around 30-40 minutes per session at this.
EXPECTATIONS
As with everything @sns8778 comes out with I know im getting the highest quality.
Ive never used this ingredient before and Im very excited to see what kind of results it can give me. With how detailed I am with everything its always pretty obvious if something works or not.
Hopefully it will help me keep gaining muscle without putting on more bodyfat while eating more.
So basically I want the holy grail of supplements, nothing more

My training is pretty intense and ive found that a combination og back off sets, myo-reps and DoggCrapp stretches gives a great stimuli while keeping the volume lower. This way i can have a higher frequency of training (6 days a week).
It was a good workout and i felt cute, might delete later

How long are your sessions typically? From the time you start your warm up/elliptical to the time you finish stretching

I usually finish everything in around 2 hours.

Impressive. Yeah I second what others have stated - if anyone can benefit from an intra, it's the person doing 2hr sessions.
I've been trying to be "better" about my rest periods. I'm usually 1.5-2.0 mins between sets, but I'm stretching it to 4-5 mins currently. It's extending my sessions (obviously), but volume is increasing due to more reps per set. It does get challenging to get in and out quickly, but I'm finding my energy levels throughout the day are also higher. More intraworkout rest I guess is helping. But fatigue can be tied to so many factors, so I probably shouldn't assume more rest between sets is the reasoning for better energy throughout the day

Yeah Ive found that perfecting my peri-workout nutrition has benefited me hugely when it comes to both performance but also recovery.Holy cow! No wonder you need that good intraWO cocktail!
I think it looks like more than it actually is. Many of the sets are Myo-Reps sets which basically is a fancy term for rest pause sets. So i do my initial set close to or to failure, take 5 deep breaths go failure again (3-5 reps usually). Take another 5 deep breaths then try to match the last set. Then continue until i cant match the initial Myo-Rep set.
Rest periods can absolutely benefit your performance and recovery. Ive found that when doing back off sets i want closer to 3 minutes rest to be able to go to failure again. But most of my sets are Myo-Reps so then its basically just 1 (long) set per exercise with minimal rest.

When I first started working out (1982) I would rest exactly 60 seconds between sets, 40 years later I need about 3 minutes!!

That's sort my "problem". Cognitively, I feel recovered in ~60 seconds for non-compound movements. But of course, the next set after a 60s rest period produces far less output then if I wait 4-5 mins. And my anecdote correlates well with the research Brad Schoenfeld put out in 2016.

The second leg workout of the week went pretty good!
Vertical press has been out of order for a while and was finally fixed today, its a favorite of mine.
The gym is getting around 50 new pieces the coming months from brands like Watson, Prime and Hammer Strength. Really looking forward to that!

Had pretty good sleep metrics last night. Im usually asleep within minutes but always wakes up a couple of times to go pee. Also our oldest dog Julian is 2 weeks outta surgery so he sleeps with a cone on. He also always sleeps between my legs, so you can imagine having a big ol cone moving around there. But I dont have the heart to move him, also he is so stinking cute!

Definitely cute! Is that a green cast on his back leg?

Yeah, he had surgery on his knee a little over 2 weeks ago. He injured his other knee last year and we had to rush him into surgery. When he was in there they said his other knee was showing signs of the same and recommended us to operate on that as well. Funny thing is that when we came in with him this time, they asked what we had done. Cuz he had built so much muscle the last year that a surgery almost wasnt needed.

I had to watch a video to see how it worked, it's looks like it would be painful to use (in a good way) until you got used to it.
