Week 18 update.
Evening my EF brothers,
On Friday afternoon, when I got home from limping at work all day, I looked in the mirror and the swelling from my VG had gotten so big that I decided it was best to keep my feet up for a few days and focus on cold compressions. This has drastically reduced the inflammation so far, so I’m hoping if work isn’t too harsh tomorrow, I will be able to jump straight back into lower body training and hit some higher numbers while the EQ is still in my system.
I’ve decided to end my bulk and drop the EQ going forward. So for the next two weeks, I’ll be keeping test at 500 and keeping calories at 4800 on training days, while dropping calories to 4200 on non-training days.
Following those two week, I will reduce test again to 300, for two weeks and drop calories on across the board.
Following those two weeks, I will drop test down to 175 and cruise, and adjusting calories to maintenance. Hoping this approach will hold on to as much of the new tissue as possible while getting rid of some of the fluff.
I’m also dropping GH back to 3ius daily.
I will take some comparison pics in the next few days.
