    December 30, 2021 at 8:52 pm in reply to: Fish and mercury

    Hi roy I always favour a varied protein intake, from Different sources. As Phoebe suggests ground lean beef would be a good Option over pork and reasonable in price.

    Low mercury white fish include cod, haddock, tuna, pollock, tilapia, and I eat prawns daily. My go to is haddock and prawns.

    My daily protein source intake:-

    Whole eggs
    Whey iso pro
    Haddock/prawns
    Lean beef or fillet steak
    Salmon

    I very rarely eat chicken and Turkey now. Just out of preference hope this helps

    Evening guys…..so today I felt off season for the 1st time. I actually feel heavy now. Daily tasks felt a Little harder, back pump whilst walking the dog which subsided I powered through. Probably due to not moving from the laptop except for cardio/steps and to the kitchen for food!

    This stage onwards is now what separates people who just want to be big and people who get fucking big. The constant 6k+ daily never missing a meal. For months on end. This is the business now which is gonna put me in the mix next year and I’m buzzing for it.

    Still plenty of work to do but I’m here for it! NYE pull day going down tomorrow! Let’s massive!

    I second what Jordan has suggested here. You only have to look at his back to see the set up works. I have stopped over complicating my Pull sessions and focused on the above points. I don’t think you need as much “fluffy stuff” for example 3 rear delt movements in Pull B? for such a small muscle if you are training these correctly 2-3 sets per session will do the job.

    Hip hinge Chest supported upper back row

    Lat Bias PulldownLat Bias RowRear delt workDepending on the emphasis of the session you could add in some hamstring work to start if you are doing RDL’s as your Hinge you could add some trap work in around the rear delt work and also some biceps at the end too. I would always do some activation work like pullovers or pulldowns but i don’t really count these as working sets more as Blood-flow work before my Lat work.

    What’s up Nathan!

    Could you explain better what’s is bias?[/quote]

    Meaning the muscle it favors – in a row you can do it many ways and whatever way you do will bias a certain part- so when you say a lat bias row you are talking about row favoring lat opposed to upper or mid back (would be row where que is elbow to hip)[/quote]
    Perfect! Thanks!!![/quote]

    Exactly how Darren explained it buddy….Apologies there

    December 30, 2021 at 10:13 am in reply to: Gaining Cycle

    Hey Buddy, i agree With Sas here i think this was excessive to say the least as a 1st cycle. I think you could still be making some really good progress with less and something that is going to be less harsh on your blood work personally.

    When you say you added EQ in your first cycle to cover aroma? can you expand here please? A little confused to why you would add EQ to cover aromatisation? Were you taking any AI’s? just looking at your HDL here.

    I think Hilly is on the right track also 250-300mg Test E and 200mg Mast/Primo to start would be a solid cycle to build from. I don’t think you would need much more than this if everything is on point.

    And a little tidy up phase would be my advice too. Dropping some body-fat would put you in a better position to start.

    Hey guys

    So check in day tomorrow weight has took a bump up this past few days the increase in calories plus my cycle kicking in has me at 324.4lbs this AM the heaviest i have ever weighed fasted by 6lbs and still holding decent composition.

    My appetite is good, my digestion is good, I put this down to movement and staying active with cardio and steps whilst calories are increasing. The best Ive felt being this heavy by a long shot. Its getting harder but im loving the fact im getting stronger and with new strength comes new tissue. My training has never been as accurate across the board. So progression is inevitable. Im excited for the next few months!

    Legs today went as follows:-

    Lying hip flexion – warm up x 2 sets
    seated calves – RP 12-5-3, 1 x 30 rep set
    prime lying ham top peg 1 x 6-10, 1 x 10-15
    Prime seated ham cam 3 1 x 6-10, 1 x 10-15
    atlantis 45* hip extension 1 x 6-10, 1 x 10-15
    adductor gym shop 1 x 8-12, 1 x 12-15
    prime leg extension top peg/middle peg 1 x 10-15, 1 x 15-20
    banded Nytram leg press (pivot_ 1 x 10-15, 1 x 15-20

    Back in for push tomorrow! LFG

    December 26, 2021 at 9:38 pm in reply to: Feedback on Women Figure/Physique Prep cycle

    Unless the female has had recent blood-work and has a low testosterone score then why would you use testosterone? I don’t like this idea either.

    HRT/TRT dosage possibly if after blood-work this is needed? But this is is to bring levels back into natural range. but this is very very client/athlete dependent, you cannot just put test E in the mix as a “female drug protocol” for each client as a base. It’s got to be be specific for the individual based off blood-work.

    Most female athletes won’t need test to build enough muscle for most of the categories, unless we are talking women’s BB… but Like jordan and hilly said you don’t need to map out a cycle you start with the least effective dosage dependant on her body composition and go from there. With different/multiple pathways if needed.

    As I write this I’m just tucking into my last Turkey sandwich for the night if I’m not 325lbs tomorrow I’ll be gutted! ????

    Today has been great! Trained push early doors to earn my food. Regular pre/intra/post workout meals!

    Then Xmas dinner 1 at 1pm – Indian which is now is very popular in Britain so we did the 1st part with my family! I had king prawns tandoori for starter and tandoori mixed grill with pilau and naan for main!

    Then 4pm we did round 2 at Phoebe’s full Xmas dinner 3 course the works!

    Round 3 after a 30 mins dog walk was Turkey and stuffing sarnies with some
    Doritos and a little chocolate!

    Absolutely stuffed! Ready for pull day tomorrow! Back on plan + 1 more
    Xmas dinner!

    I hope Everyone has had a fantastic day ???

    Anything heel elevated here should do the trick to bias the quad. Smith squat, front heel split squat, potentially a superset extensions with sissy squats Tom plate style
