Last weekend's training, my coach and I have diagnosed a potential cause for some issues. Hot week last week, so fluid intake needed to have increased from 4.5L on average to 6L with a hydration supplement to help carry those fluids. Ended up training the Monday as opposed to Sunday because I...

No problem bro, happy to provide whatever knowledge and insight I have. Yeah, I'd sit on a sports TRT dose January to April. You definitely won't miss out on any gains to be made. The PEDs will ultimately still illicit gains, just maybe not as dramatically as opposed to 2 grams drug load for...

If it were me, I'd use the event in May as a peak/training day to lead into July. You could potentially start titrating your doses up in April to give yourself a bit of leeway into July Once that event is over I'd be pivoting into a GPP phase until towards the end of August, still programming...

Weekday training recap, Thursdays bench session was a bit of damage control mainly to see what the lat was doing. It's definitely improving which I assumed it would by then but I wound up straining a pec on bench that day 😅 that's almost gone completely at this point in time though Sponsored by...

Solid PR on the hack squat bro!

If it's shown signs of improvement then that's super reassuring bro, hopefully the MRI comes back with a good result!

Do you have any good allied health practitioners around you? Maybe a physio/osteo is worth going to see? Considering you've got notes as to what is wrong/what hurts already, it'd be fairly simple for them to create a rehab plan for you to start moving in the direction of recovery

Thanks guys, I've got an appointment for active release tomorrow. I managed to get under a bar to squat tonight without any discomfort so it leads me to believe it's just a bit of scapula dysfunction. Thanks for following along everyone! Heaps more to come!

Last weekend's training, unfortunately I've run into a new issue this week cutting the week short come dead's. I had something go crunch in the back of my right armpit around the teres major/minor area and quite a lot of discomfort after that. I couldn't manage rowing 6kg on a cable row the...

Touchdown! Super communication and excellent delivery time!

Big week so far, got the green light for a bit push on all mains this week and it's been excellent so far! Drug escalation as of Thursday as well which I will cover in the next post Sponsored by @NORVEXpharma! Tuesday - Lower 1 Copenhagen Planks: Set 1 - L 10/R 10 Set 2 - L 9/R 9 Set 3 - L...

Great program, solid numbers too!

I think more time is better. You can titrate up a lot slower to keep a handle on side effects that way. 10-15kg in 4 months will definitely do something negative to your health markers and not all of that weight is going to be muscle

Last weekend's training, was cooked come Sunday after Saturday's efforts. Forgot to mention in my last post that there's been a slight bump in drug load which is much welcomed Sponsored by @NORVEXpharma! Weekly Averages: Bodyweight - 113.7kg Sleep - 6hrs45mins Steps - 7142 BP - 123/69 RHR - 69...

100% agree with this, either get it out of your system or find a way to work it into your plan
