Session:
Week 5 - Hamstrings & Glutes Focus
Session included lying leg curls, stiff-legged deadlifts, reverse DB lunges, cable glute kickbacks, single-leg cable adductions, and calf raises on the leg press. Strong session overall- body moved well and back was 95% sorted by the time warm-ups were complete. Slight tightness in the morning but resolved by training time.
Cardio:
25-minute walk at a decent pace over lunch. Good for circulation and helped shake off early-day fatigue.
Nutrition & Supps:
Breakfast was oats with whey and milk. Morning tea included high-protein pudding and casein powder. Lunch was a macro-friendly butter chicken with jasmine rice (picture attached). Pre-workout was custard casein, lite milk and Chex cereal (picture attached), followed by pre-workout, pump juice and ALCAR. Intra-workout was pump juice, carb powder, and creatine. No post-workout meal logged yet with dinner upcoming.
Recovery:
6 hours and 45 minutes of sleep. Not the best quality- felt a little flat mid-morning but improved after walking. Digestion and joints both good. Lower back issue nearly resolved.
Current PEDs:
Test E: 437.5mg/week
EQ: 210mg/week
NPP: 210mg/week
GH: 5IU/day
Current Health Supplements:
Same as mentioned in the intro post.
Side Effects & Adjustments:
Injected right glute this morning- no issues. Energy improved as the day progressed. No side effects. GH remains a morning pin due to impact on sleep when taken at night.
Adjustments Made:
No major changes today. Continuing focus on food quality and timing to support performance and recovery.
Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 110.7kg.
General Comments:
End of week 1 of this new block is shaping up well. Back is nearly fully resolved and legs are feeling good with the current hamstring/quad split. Will be monitoring sleep closely heading into the weekend. Looking forward to bloodwork in around 3-4 weeks to assess where things sit.
