I agree with the guys. It's important not to eat the same thing every day. You can develop allergies.
great update and workout broHere is my mid-week update.
I was able to hit all my reps on flat bench but last few sets I was about 3" from the top of my chest on those, getting a huge stretch.
I feel like I have plateaued on incline bench for now and will work towards 8 reps over the next few weeks.
Third set of Arnolds was brutal 20, 10, 5,5,5,5 each with a short pause my rear deltoids and front deltoids hurt so bad after I lifted, pains gone now but I definitely can tell I worked out today.

What about salmonella risk if I drop 8 eggs in the blender and make a shake? I struggle eating that many eggs scrambled.maybe drop out the liquid egg whites for real eggs
Going to introduce more tuna and chicken as protein sources.Nice consistency to your eating routine. But you may want to consider cycling out some things and bringing in some new foods as well.
I'm confused why can't you split it in half?I have a dosage question on Deca. I am nearly done with the Deca from the pharmacy which was 200mg/ml, the Pharma Deca I ordered is 300mg/ml. Since I cant really split a half unit is taking 4 units at 120mg okay? My current dosage is 300testC/200Deca.
Thanks guys

I can try to split it but the deca I ordered is 300mgI'm confused why can't you split it in half?
@man05 you can split in 1/2 why not? dont use insulin needleI have a dosage question on Deca. I am nearly done with the Deca from the pharmacy which was 200mg/ml, the Pharma Deca I ordered is 300mg/ml. Since I cant really split a half unit is taking 4 units at 120mg okay?

@man05 i would eyeball 1/2 150mgs and then 1/4ml 75mgsI can try to split it but the deca I ordered is 300mg
I was on 5 units @20mg =100mg twice per week.
I will eyeball it to try to hit 105mg so 3.5units.
I don’t think I thought this through before posting, thanks for the acid test.
Err you can. Literally nothing to say you can't. It's just 2/3rds of a ml to get 200mg from a 300mg/ml productI have a dosage question on Deca. I am nearly done with the Deca from the pharmacy which was 200mg/ml, the Pharma Deca I ordered is 300mg/ml. Since I cant really split a half unit is taking 4 units at 120mg okay?

@man05 you can increase to 300mgs but if you are on 100mgs? im not clear i just checked your log again bro, seems you are low dosing it right so lets stay around 200mgs not higherThe deca from doctor was 200mg/1ml, I’ve been on that for 8 weeks. My new deca is 300mg/1ml.
I use 1.5” 25guage for glute injections.
I will stick with 3.5 so that I’m close to 100, if the suggestion is to increase deca to 300mg week150mg 2x week would I need to increase test by 60mg or so ?
Sorry for the confusion and incorrect terminology “ units” .
Thanks guys
@man05 dont worry you had to drive so less than 400 grams you're fine make it up tomorrow bro and keep pumpingHere is my Friday and Saturday update, sorry for the late post was on a drive home from Kentucky soccer tournament for my daughters.

Thank you for all the help this week with meals, weights and getting dosages accurate, best I don't overthink such things.
Have a good weekend

I have been taking 200mg/ week deca since day one. Sorry for my miscommunication
Yes, 200mg the entire time since I started the cycle. With test at 300mg. I figure if I went to 300mg deca test would be around 360 and if I did 400mg deca I’d be at 460mg. I base this on the ratio trt doctor provided. 300mg seems conservative to adjust to, 400mg I’m curious but am wondering if that much deca and test would increase estrogen too much.so you have stayed at 200 mg the whole way?
I take 50mg daily 25mg am and pm been on it since day 1, I take n2guard daily 4am/ 3pm on second bottle, following program to a T.proviron is what i recommend with deca. works well
Rest day today, I hit my legs hard yesterday those one leg squats with a bar are tough I like them a lot.How was your workout today or did you just take a rest day?
Yesso you have stayed at 200 mg the whole way?
@man05 feeling good is crucial, you keep pumping the dose for now and stay strongFeeling pretty good overall, I emailed doctor and gave him an update and he said it’s up to me if I want to increase test and deca. He advised since this is my first deca cycle to not exceed 300 and keep test no higher than 360mg. Do you guys agree with him or shall I stay the course for the next 8 weeks?
Next update tomorrow after my pull session.
Thanks guys
@man05 if you feel good on the cycle you can stay until week 20 and switch to TRT keep logging as we get into a cutting cycle.So a 20 week cycle instead of the planned 16?
Will I be able to do a cut after that?
Would you estimate recovery from this cycle around 6 months and stay on trt dose and keep diet on point and maintain training discipline to retain some of my gains?

@man05 you did fine with the weights but i would do higher reps if i was you not just low reps, combine high and low rep daysGreat workout today, mixed up using dumbbells' on chest, definitely hit the chest in different angles.

On weights if I can hit 5-6 reps over 5 sets @225lbs is that as good as if I did 8 reps and 5 sets of 215? Been reading about hypertrophic versus heavy lifting, can the two be worked twice per week in alternating sets versus hammering away two heavy chest sets?

Thank you for the help, next update will be Saturday evening.
So as an example@man05 you did fine with the weights but i would do higher reps if i was you not just low reps, combine high and low rep days
@man05 something like that but push for 15 reps on 1 set and 50 reps on a burn out set with small weights or just barSo as an example
BB bench heavy 5x6
Incline bench 3x12
Flat DB 3x13
Incline db 5x6
Something like that?
With deltoids should I just keep same weights and push for 12-15 reps?
If this pattern looks correct I will kick this in tomorrow for my pull workouts l, thank you so much sir.

Weights
On weights if I can hit 5-6 reps over 5 sets @225lbs is that as good as if I did 8 reps and 5 sets of 215? Been reading about hypertrophic versus heavy lifting, can the two be worked twice per week in alternating sets versus hammering away two heavy chest sets?

For each exercise, correct?
@man05 you should stick to 40 dips if you can, the heavy movements split them for sureJust ran that Pull set in 1hr 35 minutes, took about 2 minutes between each set, failed at 50 dips hit 42 and was locked up couldnt go any more. Should I run the drop set as my second set split for the week and keep the first split heavy movements?
You guys have so much knowledge, thank you for sharing.

@man05 the 50 rep set is just 1 time for 1 bodypart just to get a real good pump I hear thats what Arnold didHappy weekend guys, meals are getting easier, still trying to branch out and away from what's so convenient.
The Drop set workouts have been tough but enjoyable. It is not clear to me how to add in the burnouts properly.
Would I perform normal heavy workouts with 3-5 sets then throw in one 50 rep set of lighter weight? If so do I do this on every exercise or just per major muscle group? I want to keep going, I am motivated but I lack the understanding of how to properly structure my workouts. Todays legs actually left me feeling a bit tired whereas I normally feel okay. Walking lunges kicked my butt big time and I was actually shaking from lactic acid after doing 50 squats with a 2 minute break of doing 15 heavier squats. As usual thank you for all the help and guidance.
Quick question: My brother friend is pretty heavy into lifting and i told him how I'm running Deca and loving it, he said he ahs a product I may want to consider , he drove home and came back over with a new in the box bottle of Pharma mix 4, it contains Test with npp and deca. What sort of product is this if the cycle length is at 8 weeks? Deca kicked in for me about week 6. I was curious and currently just holding onto this for possible use down the road.
Here are my meals and weights for the past two days.
