Hi Joe, glad to see your preps going well.

I was wondering if you could provide some insight into your clen use. Wouldn’t it be healthier to achieve the same energy balance deficit through steps or cardio (shouldn’t be too hard given how low they currently are) rather than use clen? I understand that health isn’t neccessarily the priority here though, so perhaps you could explain the benefit of clen over these (other than it being ‘easier’). Does it provide a specific look, enhance workout performance etc?

Hi Kuba, hope you’re well.

I was just wondering why you opt for T3 supplementation (at a dose that I presume is above replacement level) rather than letting your food drop lower. Is this primarily for digestive/performance purposes or just personal preference?

Hi AJ, hope you’re well.

I’m interested in hearing more about your decision to implement yohimbine/vasoburn. Why have you chosen this route rather than to decrease calories or increase steps (or add cardio)? Is it entirely as an attempt to spot reduce? If so, at what point do you think someone should do this during a prep? Is there a certain level of leanness you’d ‘require’ a client to be before taking this path as opposed to increasing expenditure/decreasing intake?

Thanks for the input. You’re definitely right about needing to watch the recovery.

Part of wanting to do PPLR is honestly just the desire to be back in the gym more. Absolutely itching at this point!

I think with 3 rotations, you’re hitting those movements too infrequently. 3 rotations means you’re hitting the same workout every 12 days, and this goes up to 15 days if you need to implement an extra rest day before legs (which Jordan suggests is appropriate for most people). At this long of a gap your body may struggle to be comfortable with the motor patterns of each movement and you’ll just be progressing the numbers on those lifts very slowly.

I think stick with 2 rotations. 3 rotations is, in my opinion, better suited for UL or Full body splits.

Thanks for the input both of you.

I went to the GP on Monday and have an xray booked in mostly just as a precaution in case there is any break/fracture (21st of July was the earliest they could do!).

Swellings definitely down and so is discomfort, so hopefully it isn’t a very serious injury. Still taking it pretty easy, but slowly adding some movement each day. I think I’m going to start doing some upper body workouts from tomorrow. My weights actually dropped a few lbs which I guess could be due to less glycogen being stored and possibly lower cortisol from not having the stress of doing much other than sitting here.

From another perspective; you’ve measured your test at the absolute trough there. Friday night pins and Friday afternoon bloods.
You’re also pinning slightly less frequently than ideal for enanthate ester which will lead to less stable levels (higher peaks, lower troughs).

I’d opt for twice a week pins with Test E (for more stable levels and less side effects) and I’d take bloods 24hrs after a pin.

(although I would still expect your test to be higher with properly dosed gear!)

People who still have access to a gym posting workouts –

Inspiring or BORE OFF YOU TWAT?

I actually want to see them.

It gives a bit of normality to the current situation and also gives me ideas of things I can do when I get back.
