Need some help .... Be ruthless

[Lamplighter]

I was wondering about legs too... Well, if your knees are screwed up, that would make it very difficult. Whatever you do in the leg department, just make sure you don't do more harm than good.

What are your goals for a cycle? You want size/strength or you want to try to shred what you have? Also, if you don't want to pin, then I would at least try to get some androgel to do along with the oral to keep your test from crashing through the floor during the cycle.

size and strength would be my goal, I will do a cut once I get some more mass on me. I am looking at adding 12-15 lbs of mass.

I am considering a basic oral cycle like this...

dboll, and milk thistle for the cycle and clomid for pct

8 week cycle has been recommended to me by supplier, but not sure if that is just a sales pitch. should I stick to 4-6 weeks being that it is an oral?

and any gyno worries? haven't experienced it before, but this would be my first cycle.

(have done test/trib cycles before, not sure if they have gyno as sides)

Cheers,
Lamp

U said car accident, but what is the lingering issue with them? Amy movements not hurt them?


Sent from my SCH-I545 using EliteFitness

car accident was about 20 years ago if you can imagine. but the knee issue started to creep up about 3 years ago. Doctors said it was damage from the car accident on my knee caps that went untreated.

that and I was a basketball player / volleyball player in high school and college which probably made it worse.

I started training for marathons 3 years ago which is when it really became noticeable.

now any prolonged time with my legs bent drive me nuts. knee caps turn red and are hot to the touch, and click when I bend them.


elliptical doesn't seem to bother them which is why I have been doing that, I guess the fluid motion is just right. walking on the treadmill can irritate them but "suck it up buttercup" is all I have to say about that.

going to do some research on "alternative" leg workouts, see what I can come up with.


in the mean time I don't want to hold down progression on the rest of me which is why i came here for advice.


Cheers,
Lamp.

#1: Unless you're paralyzed, you should do some sort of leg work.

#2: People have got to stop thinking rice and oatmeal is good food. It's crap.

quit eating so much rice bro...

whats wrong with the rice? I assumed a healthy carb like long grain rice would be a good way to get solid calories.

what do you suggest I replace it with?

 

[Lamplighter]

Exactly. Don't be "that guy" that doesn't train legs. One of biggest pet peeves i have of the typical gym douches I see every day.

I hardly think an injury makes me a gym douche.

how about we focus less on my legs and more on the question.

#2: People have got to stop thinking rice and oatmeal is good food. It's crap.

#1 is just ignorant to think that is the only reason for no leg workouts. you know nothing about me, or the seriousness of my situation. if my doctor says no leg workouts ..... no leg workouts. as I stated before I have an appointment with a specialist to determine the best course of action for my situation.
until then .... no leg workouts.

#2 prove me wrong. every nutritional book I own says oatmeal is a great addition to your breakfast routine. and what is wrong with rice? how about a suggestion instead of just a critique.

if you cannot work your legs then you won't put on mass. not sure what you are not understanding.

you can just work your upper body i suppose but you won't get very far.

if you can't work your legs due to your accident than i guess you can't work your legs. wish i could wave my magic wand and heal you up

i know a guy who broke his leg and worked out just his upper body for like 6 months, once his legs were healed he went back to a normal routine. so it can be done

i do think everyone is being too harsh on you. your diet can be improved but if what you are writing is true then its good enough thats why you have improved your body fat. your workout routine is good once you get back your leg ability and add in that split

For the record, there is absolutely nothing wrong with rice or oatmeal if you are meeting your macros at the end of the day. If you are exceeding what you should be taking in on carbs, then cutting back on them is what you should do. However, brown rice and oatmeal is perfectly fine. I'm pretty sure a lot of guys that have been on stage and in the game for a long time use oats and rice on a regular basis. I know I do, along with sweet potatoes

I agree, I at oatmeal twice a day and have for over 10 years... It it my go to food and always will be... I just think he was completely overdoing it on the rice intake...
