Hey Buddy. A pull back is 100% required here anything else is counterproductive.
Create a deficit and shift some Bodyfat pretty aggressively. This will be more optimal for muscle growth than your current position

Any specific reason for running nebido buddy?
Personally I’d switch to enanthate or cypionate. Rather than an undeconate ester. Drop your test down to 200mg/wk if your on a cruise. This should lower oestrodial a touch. Or add in a little masteron/pimobolan. 100mg/wk But if your just cruising then I would be lowering the test dose personally

Rest day today. A very busy day as always still Rest days are the only days i get to do anything else other than check ins and train. But that still takes the day up. Today Was sports massage and a haircut! then back to the laptop! still have 2 check ins left to box off before bed! We had a power cut on the street also earlier which slowed me down for an hour but we are back to it.
Back to Pull and Hams tomorrow, I have a goal tomorrow which I want to box off. So im gonna get these check ins done get my head down and get prepared to nail tomorrows session!

Hey Buddy,
Personally I wouldn’t be doing 20 minutes cardio before your session. If you are doin 5 mins treadmill warm up to get HR slightly elevated your body moving and your mind ready for the session this is fine.
But nothing to hinder your training session. If you cant find the time to do cardio at another point during the week post workout would be my preference. But ideally away from training altogether.

Hey buddy personally I would have things set up a little differently but theres definitely more than one way to do things successfully.
My preference would be similar weekly dosage to start.
300mg Test
400mg primo/Mast
150mg NPPI would then look at every 3-4 weeks progress the test dosage 50mg and the NPP dosage 50mg if body composition still good, no negative sides. And health markers are solid. You could progress the primo up to 6-700mg here
Working up to approx 1400mg Total load and run that for 6-8 weeks.
For context I’m not on 500mg of test at 150kg 335lbs this AM – but my Primo is a lot higher. I started at 600mg primo I feel the best I’ve ever felt in cycle

I think you need to go and watch more plates more dates YouTube regarding EQ and it’s actual role.
IMO it should not be used for the modulation of oestrodial. There’s way too much detail to go into regarding how it actually works in crashing E2 when ran alongside testosterone and I don’t think it’s at all positive for a cycle design. There are far better ways to modulate E2. 200mg Masteron or Primo would be a better choice.
IMO a lower dose of Testosterone and a higher dose of DHT derivative would be a better option. And NPP can still be ran successfully

If you are taking the weekly average and you are weighing yourself at a similar time. Then I wouldn’t worry too much buddy. Try to have same routine every morning. Wake up go to the toilet, weigh yourself. If sometimes you are sleeping longer then it’s natural that you will be a a touch lighter. Your further away from your last meal. You will be slightly more dehydrated. This will affect the scales. So just try to be consistent and take an average.

First session back after 3 days off. And it was a very good one. Everything felt great. Strength was up. Reps were up! And it was just good being back amongst it!
First time on the Cybex hack for over a year which felt great. 5 plates x 15 reps at the end of the session was awesome! This will set me up nicely for some progression. 6 was there 100% for 8-10 but I wanted to lay some foundations down for progression.
Session went as follows
Seated calves RP x 2, 1 x 30
Prime Lying ham curl 65 x 14, 50 x 18-4-2
Seated ham curl 65 x 14, 55 x 14-5-3
Gym shop Adductors 6 x 14, 5 x 15-5-3
Prime Leg extension 5T 1M x 20, 4T 1M x 18
Cybex hack 5 x 15
Nytram banded leg press 400 x 18Dead ?
Defo feel fresher after a 3 day rest. Push and triceps tomorrow which will be good to test the chest

Last rest day today….Had a good sleep, Got up did some posing and Pheebs check in pics then had breakfast and took the dog fo a walk. We are meeting friends for a coffee today and then going to see Pheebs family this afternoon. Then we will take the dog for another walk around the block and get settled for another big week ahead.
I have dropped from 339-340 to 332.1lbs this AM in 2/3 days. So there was some inflammation that needed dropping off, along with some intracellular fluid as Ive been on rest day food so around 800-900 calories down from mainly Carbs. No insulin around training and obviously no training response. Im pretty sure I will be back up a few lbs over the next week and ready to push on. One thing i have noticed is i have had zero back pumps for 2 days on my walks now.
My appetite is good Ive actually been hungry these last 2 days. Which is a good sign and Ive only done posing and steps no direct cardio for a few days. Ready for leg day tomorrow!

Another rest day today. Day 2 of the rest period and although I feel fresher in myself my joints feel a little banged up. Shoulders and elbows. My pec felt a little rough today too. Im hoping another good sleep and tomorrow rest should see me good. Then its back in for legs Monday! Signs of being heavy and old!
On a plus the cardio suite is on the way to being finished!

I agree with Hilly increase carbs on both days 50g per day would be 200kcals each day and see what happens with that small increase

Today was the first day of a 3 day rest period which should set me up for the final push of this phase. I dropped 5lbs from yesterday to today. Which potentially could be from a drop in inflammation already. So I feel this was 100% needed! I also had a nap today which freshened me up loads so these next 2 days I will rest and recover hard.
We had the cardio equipment delivered today too so I’m excited for the electrics, TV and mirrors to be up!
Leg day will be the next day back in and I’m buzzing for it

Hi Benjamin,
Hillys method is a very good method if you have no direct weigh or
Counting calories.Have you not got access to a scale? And can’t you consume foods that are easy to track.
A bag of micro rice
Packets of oats
Single pieces of fruit
Scoops of Protein
Packets of meat or tins of tuna
Protein barsThen at least you know you’re getting the same Amount daily “roughly” and go from there?
The question on how many meals to eat is completely dependant on your lifestyle, time, energy demands. There’s no set rule here. 3,4,5,6 whatever works for you
