Technique matters! I have done meets where I did nothing heavy until the peak, nothing. If you can execute the proper way and have experience you don’t need to train that heavy until the very end...
Thank you for the reply! What type of needle do you use? I’m having a hard time as my needle is apparently not good with oil based.
Did you inject subcutaneously?
Chicken, rice and broccoli are cheap staples for bodybuilders and weight lifters.
I find it amazing that chicken is still as cheap as it is, for the Large amount of protein it supplies.

This is what I was driving at, perfectly laid out. I don’t think I really dialed in until this last year or so. Truthfully still have a **** ton to learn ion all aspects of lifting.
But...
Ok, helpful! And would the same principle apply for benching with elbow sleeves and wrist wraps? Ie., sleeves the whole time, wrist wraps one set or so before "needing" them?
It needs to be injected. I had a rough run with it but it depends on the concentration. PiP sucked on it and it was hard to pin because sometimes it will get clogged in the luer lock pin.
3-5lb swings weekly should be pretty normal I think just off hydration alone, how full your guts are etc but you've trended well for like 2 years now. slow and steady is definitely proving that...

Weight: 205.2
Been floating around this weight since I hit that last new low 204.4. Still in a deficit though. Driving on.
Not logging yesterday’s limb workout. Upper torso workout tomorrow...
So either more paused work if you just need to generate more chest power from a dead stop, or Spotos if you need to also reinforce lat control & positioning with the paused start as well. OR...
Another great deload, sounds like you are feeling good, excited to see the next block! On 531 is it 4 weeks then a deload or 3 weeks then a deload? I can’t remember
