Right on. Just keep the mindset that this is a marathon dude, not a sprint. Slow & steady (and smart!) wins the race here..
I dig that approach immensely. As a rule, my carb intake is lower on days where my activity level is less.what do you think of low very low carbs like 2 days a week? Everytime I cut carbs for a couple days it gives me a much clearer picture of where I am because carbs bloat me like crazy.
I am thinking Workout Mon.Wens.Fri and low carb Thurs, Sat, Sun. By low I mean 50-100, probably closer to 100 with 50g from oats for breakfast and the next 2 meals having about 30g each from vegis/beans.
Thanks man, you're helping get rid of some of the self doubt i was having in my planning. I always feel like there is something that I am missing but I guess thats just genetics haAgreed. I like the changes. You need to follow what your body is telling you. If you start seeing some adipose, adjust accordingly.
BTW - just for your edification, I liked the first diet too!
Give me some nig. Let's do this! My buddy just gave me Lunesta samples. Thanks for the warning!Ha I am not allowed to give metroba or strategicmove reps like EVER cause I need to spread them more apparently!
thanks guys...
I solved part of my energy problem, apparently lunesta was effecting me more than i though and creating more lethargy than I expected the next day.
Nice bro...thought you were taking it easy this week? Your vascularity was insane the other night.Day 35ish
There us no way I should be getting stronger but I am... Planning pictures then starting hcg next week. I am not looking for progress in the pics just maintanence. My nipples are a major problem and they still hurt even with nolva, p-5-p,1-carboxy and liquid dostined (which might be the problem, might need the pills). That is really scary cause it looks like i'll need the surgery at this rate and its also scary because there is no cause and that could signal a real problem...
Anyway...
Shoulders...
DB Press -
70's x 21
70's x 16
70's x 10
Barbell press -
125 x 16

40's x 10 (rp) + 5
Tele-Raises

15's x 10 (rp) + 5 (basically done the same)
2 Sets of high pulls with dumbells
Guess not.Nice bro...thought you were taking it easy this week?
The injury is definetly in the chest tendon not the shoulder because doing shoulders does not hurt at all its doing chest or even back that hurt. I am still figuring out what to do...Nice bro...thought you were taking it easy this week? Your vascularity was insane the other night.
Tricky area, that chest/delt tie-in. I had a torn labrum coupled with bursitis earlier this summer, some painful sh!t, didn't bother me too much on shoulder work (altho I still felt it), but it killed my chest on benches. Back work was fine for the most part. You can't really work thru those kinds of injuries, rest is the ticket. Hope you figure it out..The injury is definetly in the chest tendon not the shoulder because doing shoulders does not hurt at all its doing chest or even back that hurt.

i have to agree with sna. You should just do some form of activity that is useful in place of training chest. Anyways, Varitek needs to go bro...worst offensive player EVER.The chest tie-in tendon is too bad to do chest this week... guess that means only 2 days in the gym this week WOW
Ha I would die... I have only done light walking cardio 3 times in the last few years and never more than a walkDo some HIIT cardio in place of chest work. Keep that schedule filled with some form of activity. Just gotta do something different bro.
Didn't you do hiit that night in newark?Ha I would die... I have only done light walking cardio 3 times in the last few years and never more than a walk
Rubbing salt into the mans' wounds for crying out loud. JR, obviously a Sox fan. Bad enough they let the Rays beat 'em, they teased everyone by taking it to a 7th game again! Had they pulled it out, they surely would've been cemented as one of the greatest comeback teams in history (over a couple yr. span), if not the greatest ever. Their other comebacks the past few yrs. have already been unreal.i have to agree with sna. You should just do some form of activity that is useful in place of training chest.

Lol. I am a sox fan as well, so I was just as disappointed. I see the Phillies winning in 7 though in the series. They have great closers.Rubbing salt into the mans' wounds for crying out loud.

But I kinda like the Rays to win it all. Their only undoing will be nerves, they've got the better team. And they were built better than the Sox, a younger, more athletic version of Boston.
Input/Output. Cordygen is helping you move more weight, sure... You're giving a lot of output. Your food intake is too strict. Especially for weening off anabolics, with low cals your testosterone and LH will not spike. Even if you're just chillin around, get some good tasting, inexpensive protein drinks like All the Whey and fire up the blender throughout the day man.Well... Cordy is still the **** but things are going weird...
Lifts are shooting UP but my muscle mass is down for sure. I am still in a taper off of super sups and started hcg. Once I feel the HCG has some things moving the right way (prob 2 weeks) I will start some IGF and pegMGF along with PCT. After the first 4-5 weeks I will hopefully run AlphaSustain From PP with some Sarm s-4 if I have the funds and its back in stock.
Shoulders - tris's - LEGS!!!
Thats right I did legs for the first time in 3 months and really even then it was only for a few weeks after a couple years off...
I took 6 cordy5 and 2 meltdown and 60mg geranium lol, I finally got to go to a real gym again for a change so I didnt want to waste it.
Overhead Dumbell Press - 3 sets

Tri machine (the one that looks like swining 2 hammers) - 2 sets

LEGS!! - ATF Squats!
135 x 5
155 x 5
175 x 5
195 x 5
****VERY deep and strict, i am very good at squats so I had to fight the urge to go heavier. My lower back is already sore, hopefull I'll be able to keep from getting hurt doing legs/deadlifts like I always seem to.
As you can all see Cordy just helps you move weight but my muscle mass is WHITHERING! I have lost some cuts but also am down 4 pounds total so muscle is going away. I just dont look or feel pumped I I have been. I am upping my carbs to see what happens, I have lost cuts but I can't handle the muscle loss so I'll take the fat if I have to.
I like cortisol modulators during the cycle as well as 2 weeks into PCT. Cortisol levels are very high while on cycle and plus you're stressed out, so carbs may not be going where they're supposed to go. I'd for sure say something even like 3 caps of 11-OXO and a B-Complex (good one) would help a lot.Sounds good man but realize I am still on HRT type doses so not OFF and not losing fat but actually possibly gaining it.
Do you think I need to start the cortisol supps already like before I am totally off? could be the problem...
I should be losing fat if I was too strict. I am taking up around 3000 cals a day. Right now its about 300 protein 250-300 carbs and 60-80 fat. Could it be the banaba and yellow gold OD'ing I am doing causing the cabrs to not work right?
My weight is at 202 (three days in a row) which it was when i saw you but its a MUCH different 202 and at this level of bodyfat i should be 205-208.
Ahhh... both good stuff. For sure. Yeah man, I'd start the Relora NOW. It won't hurt your PCT either. It's recommended to wait a couple weeks before lowering cortisol in PCT, but those 2 you'll be fine no doubt. Relora will raise your DHEA levels too.My cortisol plan was EndoAmp at 1.5 times recomended dose and Relora
I've given up on it happening overnight... it simply was not happening.Your trying to recover adrenals and your taking 60mg of geranium?
both together is even better thoReset AD is a waste of money vs lifestyle changes when it comes to restoring your adrenals. Make the lifestyle changes first and your going to see a much bigger impact. What exactly are your symptoms of adrenal fatigue anyways?
Bro, excellent review! You should consider asking MST to run a sponsored log of one or a couple of their upcoming products when they are being beta tested. Your detail is outstanding!Phase 1 product feedback
Thoughts
Overall a reasonable success. Bodyweight stayed around the same, probably lost a small amount of muscle and gained a small amount of fat which is ok for all the things I had going on coming off super supps and synthetic t3.
Weights definetly went up which was very unexpected.
Shoulder dumbell press
1st week - 70 x 12
Strongest - 80 x 17
Incline dumbell press
1st time - 80 x 13
Strongest - 80 x 20
**Then got hurt... Almost better not...
Those are just two examples, I fought a couple injuries like always so my lifts had to change to fit it in but there was a feeling of "the weights just moved."
