Should have already assessed which veggies sit well with you and don’t cause digestive stress. Dropping out veggies close to show may cause slower gut transit time due to reduced fibre intake leading to more bloating – opposite of what you want

nothing to worry about. Resistance profiles have only become popular in the last few years – whilst they are an improvement in our training methods, they do not invalidate the effectiveness of basic old school training. it only accounts for a very small %
If you dont have the required machines – just utilise what you have at your disposal

ideally need to know your e2 levels now on current test dosage to see if it is close enough to the reference range of e2 evels, that simply reducing the amount of test youre using and helping modulate estrogen by using a dht derivative compound would solve the issue.
There are some outliers who simply do need to employ an aromatise inhibitor, even with taking the approproate action above first – you could be one.

So the body gets rid of hematoma by re-absorbng it often by diffusion. So using logic we need to increase the potential for diffusion to occur. This means ensuring constant bloodflow that brings and takes away blood partcles from the surrounding tissue – as diffusion works down concentration gradients. – Some basline level of active movement, and also raise the area above heart level when you can, so blood can be pumped away with the force of gravity

Send a picture of what you look like buddy on here, so we know how developed your physique is – that will dictate what federation might be best suited for you

Everything looking spot on, just a case of time now and building more density. One thing I will say is men’s physique has progressed to a point where athletes have extremely developed midsections that are very 3d – So start early and build that up

Yeah me, my biceps are shite, insertions are poor and progress slow.
The bicep acts across a very simple hinge joint at the elbow. This makes it quite possibly the easiest thing to train.
Choose an exercise that allows you to anchor the upper arm in place (a pad or something) eg preacher curl. That’s all there is too it really, for exercise selection – can’t get any more specific for targeting bicep.
One thing I will say, is that poor biceps are almost never a case of training inadequately. – because they are such an easy muscle to target due to simplicity of the Movement – if you have biceps as a weakpoint then chances are they always will be slow to progress no matter what you do.
In the end I had to up volume and frequency up dramatically to make any sort of meaningful difference / like tagging them into the end of almost every session

So I’m very much in the same position, recently added back in powerlifting movements again, even though I know full well that it is a risky movement.
However I now ensure that all reps are paused, the change in direction of the chest is not a quick one at all. And I bench with a narrow grip with elbows tucked in. Basically trying to minimise as much unnecessary strain on that pec tendon
If these two things are done – the risks are greatly reduced, but not fully removed
Thanks! I’m just 16 and haven’t been lifting for too long (about two years), so I probably wont bench that much weight as of now. I’ll not do any risky shit and probably stick to triples and higher. Could I just bench at the beginning of my Upper days? Should I then add another pressing movement for the chest since lifting from point A to B ain’t going to create that good tension? Thinking of just adding 3 sets for 3-6 or something and then just adding weight or reps so that I get through the rep range? Does it have to be more complicated than so?[/quote]
Getting strong at bench and progressively overloading, whilst it isn’t an optimal exercise due to the lack of you able to converge (being your hands closer together) during lockout and so being able to fully shorten the pec – will still tear muscle fibres and create a sizeable hypertrophic response – nearly all the top bench pressers have extremely developed pecsBut to get full benefit, I’d follow up the exercise with an exercise that allows you to fully contract and shorten the pec

High androgens can cause this feeling, this is not unheard of. Effects some people more than others. Not a lot you can do apart from lower the dosage. Humans are not designed to run on hundreds of mg of anabolics pw

Only issue you may possibly get is low androgen/estrogen ratio from the masteron presenting as low E symptoms. – but can’t say for sure you will have to see for yourself
Clen is fine, but I’d also think about potentially adding in a diet break as you’ve been dieting for 12 weeks already dropped a lot of weight, and so metabolism will be down regulated as a result – a diet break will help rectify that

There are some things in bodybuilding that no-one can advise on, only you can make judgement. Training when ill is one of them, only you are living with the feeling of being under the weather – only you will know whether you’re recovery, strength, mental focus is off. Therefore you need to make a judgement call based on how you feel day to day

Not necessarily – depends on the resistance profile of the machine
But also depends on how you perform the exercise, having your wrist shoulder and elbow in line with the resistance will help train the shortened position as can more easily get it shortened
Having some sort of horizontal adduction where your arm comes across the body (up and across the ribcage) will place more emphasis on lengthened position/ stretch
