Got my bloods back today and my e2 was in range at 23.1 and that’s with 1mg Adex. Other than some elevated liver values (expected) everything else was within range. Very pleased.

1 hour BJJ. Normal humbling from the training. Moving good and feeling good

My son is a Brown belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu, and I’ve got a black belt in Kenpo Karate, but the training I went through in the 70s thru the 90s isn’t anywhere near what he goes thru in BJJ. I firmly believe it’s the toughest martial art to train in and advance, and absolutely counts towards cardio. He also wrestled in high school so the conditioning and training translated very well for BJJ.

That’s so rad and very impressive! I, unfortunately, didn’t fall in love with it until later in life. So thankful I found it regardless. You’re so right, it’s a beast to train in. I would imagine your son is a well rounded badass with high school wrestling and a brown belt in BJJ. Congrats on that!

Yeah, he’s really good, and has met a lot of world class practitioners including quite a few in the UFC, but he has a real good job and doesn’t compete, but he gets to help teach and train others, so he loves that. His 9 year old son, my Grandson, is the one I could probably see in the octagon one day. It’s unreal how fast that little guy picks up on things. My son teaches him BJJ and when we go visit them I’ll show him some stand up Kenpo and Muay Thai, and he tries it once and has it. That little guy is crazy impressive.😎

Took 75 minutes total. No rest between the 3 exercises in the super set and 60-90sec rest between sets. Transition and set up time between exercises but with pace. Maybe 3 minutes between exercises. Chest and back is different- 1-2 minutes between exercises in the super sets. Leg day, no rest between exercises in the super set and 60 sec max between sets.

Looking thick, but still got the abs, always a good sign. With the arm workouts you’ve been putting in, looks like you’re putting on some good size.💪

Thanks Mike! Like you, lifting has been a life long friend. I enjoy the strategy and application of building these workouts almost as much as I do executing them. I’m sure you have a solid bag of workouts as well. 💪🏻👊🏻

I just turned 59 last week, but you have a very similar build to what I had at 39 years old. This is about 20 years ago.😎

Arnold is my inspiration too. I loved that Encyclopedia. I just modified it to fit how my body seems to respond best. 1-2 working sets per exercise, 6-10 set per body part and 2-5 mins rest for each set. More volume and less rest my body seems to flatline.

Feeling a little beat up, pumps aren’t as great and the motivation is going away. All signs that it’s deload time. Will take it easy and get back at it next Tuesday or Thursday depending on how I feel.

Maybe throw in some light stretches and hit about 50% on weight with your dumbbell work for a week. Generally makes for a little better deload when coming back, unless something is causing pain.

Took a couple of days off from BJJ, ate a ton and got some good sleep. Also, I switched brands of HGH and I think that it’s more powerful than the brand before. I believe that it was contributing to me feeling sore and tired. I took a night off from that and I feel and look so much better too. I’m going to dial it back on hgh (from 3iu daily to 2) and take 1-2 days off a week. Crazy how terrible it made me feel. No deload needed yet, thankfully. I have a ton of momentum to ride out.

Yeah, that’s the tough part when we have to get our compounds from UGLs is there’s always a chance of getting hold of something that is possibly contaminated, which can cause inflammation, that can show up with many different symptoms like pain, lethargy, even a fever and infections. But usually you don’t see that with GH, but obviously there may be something off with the first. I got some from a trusted source that burned like it was DHB or something. It definitely wasn’t as good as other GH I had, but was working. Finally I trashed the last few bottles and switched brands. All though there does seem to be more legit GH out there now and not as much fake as there was the few years before COVID in 2020. I think more labs don’t want the reputation of bad gear.
