Haven't posted for ages. Thought I would drop by. Current physique is attached (this is cold after eating - my prior photos were all right after workouts). This year has been interesting - i haven't really overcome the medical issues I previously detailed. I appear to have every endocrine...

You can always do them prefatigued (eg after chest or after conventional standing press) with slow negatives also. This should reduce the weight sufficiently to reduce chances of injury

Re: Bodybuilding Routines: Post Your Bodybuilding Training For Help With A New Routin I need to change my routine to gain lower back size. Currently, the lower back exercises I'm doing are DL's (I am doing 155kgx5 or 341lb x5), back squats (135x5), static barbell holds (160kg for 45 seconds)...

1 week from double bodyweight squats (below parallel, not ATG) 145kgx1 next week

In the last test, my T was 9 and E was 65 i think. So I think the AI is needed. My doctor said 20-30 is the E goal

Yes I will press him on the reandron point when I see him next. However, I will get a T test first. Reandron levels take a while to hit their peak, from which point they are quite stable. Reandron is quite convenient so if T levels are acceptable I will stick with that. Micronised Arimidex...

He gave me reandron (he says that test e and sustonon are test ethers and convert more readily to DHT than natural test) and he's arranged for the order of (haven't received) micronised arimidex. I must say I'm less happy about micronised arimidex, simply because I'm slightly distrustful of...

I have a question about contrast showers. I was thinking of using these for my back and leg workouts as this is where recovery is the biggest issue. I was wondering whether anyone used them and found them of assistance. If so what protocol did you use? Did u target the muscle exercised only...

every day of the week? Could you provide an eg of such a routine.

My form is apparently excellent. I have it watched by a few people. And I'm not being conceited as I consider my DL and bench form to be poor. Maybe i just need to do more lower back exercises. I also find the low bar position difficult to hold on 3 minute breathing squats. I reserve the...

weirdly, i find my legs recover better on higher frequency. Yes, its an extreme style but I thought I would give it a go. I enjoy it and so far its not interfering with my 5 rep squats My lower back copes fine on powerlifter squats normally, its just the 20 rep breathing squats take about 3...

Finasteride has side effects in about 1-2% of cases (normally ED dysfunction). These can continue following cessation of use. My dr thinks my hypergonadism is finasteride induced, and if so, it has caused shitloads of problems for me. I have never been a cycle and took it for hairless. 2...

I have been doing 20 reppers twice per week - just started. Cannot be fucked doing the pullovers supersetted lol. Maybe I should try but ATM moment its the last thing on my mind. Hoping to do 20x100 (20x220lb) for Olympic squats next week or if not week after with slow negatives. My back and...

I'm wondering whether I should push for any particular AI. He probably has his favourites. From what I have read aromasin is the best but others seem more common. This doctor is very big on estrogen management though (has written a book which covered this significantly) so I will defer to his...

Further, in my observation for (1) lats, pull up > all else; (2) I agree with decline skull crusher being potentially number 1 and also prefer one legged calf exercises for some reason. (3) i have read that the hamstring muscle is more dominated by hip extention as opposed to knee flexion...
