Legs today and what a session!

hacks with added band tension from the bottom were added. Starting point was 350 x 8 reps which i was really happy with. I’ll progress this nicely. It absolutely fried me today. Week 4 volume but everything is moving in the right direction.

2 more big sessions then will be ready for rest this Sunday!

Will update my diet tomorrow as I’ve made few changes to food sources. Not long until Vegas and absolutely buzzing to experience my first Olympia as a fan!

Hey bud, what is the reason you would be thinking of taking 1g of EQ only cycle?

It’s a testosterone derivative but doesn’t have the same androgenic effects.

You posted a question regards your cycle with EQ I believe regarding feeling nauseous, light headed and lethargic? Which sounded like blood thickening symptoms. So I’m just curious why you would want to run 1000mg of EQ?

Regards the testosterone levels on your bloodwork that’s something you wouldn’t know unless you had your bloodwork tested.

I was just curious. I want to learn as much as I can. because of how I felt I took out EQ and lowered test to 500mg wk to see how I feel. EQ may be making my blood too thing. my Hematocrit leaves are always at the upper limit 51 when off. imagine when on cycle. I tend to get blood work 8 wks in to cycle. I’m looking to replace EQ for primo or masteron. trying to find the right cycle for me. Thanks for listening. I appreciate all you advice. I plan to compete next year. can’t afford a coach. so using this platform to help guide me.[/quote]

Hey bud yes as i said not a great idea if blood thickness is already at the upper limit when off cycle adding any anabolic back in will cause blood to thicken more. So adding EQ at that dose would certainly be dangerous. After speaking with a bloodwork analyst he assures me that EQ doesn’t always show as T on bloodwork. So can cause a false reading and in some cases has shown to lower oestrodial….He also mentioned that Nandrolone can sometimes show as T on bloodwork but can be intermittent.

My advice would be. getting bloodwork. Getting health markers into a happy place. Start low assess the response. If your gaining well whats the point in increasing until you plateaux?

My preferred cycle is always Test & Primo with a small amount of NPP added in. dosages are all individual based but the amounts your talking are certainly not needed off the bat.

Rest day today!! had a little lay in this AM 7am lol cardio boxed off and a little work check in with Cal and a couple rounds of posing!

Had the pleasure of Oscar staying with us for some posing with Pheebs. He’s such a breath of fresh air, wisdom and positivity! and he looks insane.

We spent the evening with Pheebs family for her sisters birthday which was nice.

Ready for posterior tomorrow. Im going to RDL again because i wasn’t fully happy with my RDL performance last week. So im determined to nail my pulls tomorrow.

328.9lbs this AM the look at this weight is a mad difference from the last time i was at this weight which is very very exciting for what’s to come.

Lovely day today. Woke up did Cardio. Had my pre workout meal dnd headed to train Arms and Delts this AM with Goodstyle coach Alex great session!

Me and Pheebs took our meals with us and showered up and had a day together. We went to Currys to sort our camera that’s still in for repair since June!

Then we went to do some shopping. We bought a few bits for vegas. Some new boots and trainers!

We had an off plan meal. Which for me was grilled duck and sticky rice with a whole egg (850kcals) basically my meal anyway.

Pheebs had a lighter option chicken sticky rice and loads of veggies around (400kcals)

We then had a costa and shared a donut….Which was awesome. Thats my off plan for the week. As i need to keep my weight in check. But you also have to live and be able to make sensible choices when your out with loved ones. The donut was probably not needed lol. But for Pheebs she is only 7lbs up from show day and still lighter than her first 3 showings of the year. so she’s control the rebound very well. She usually goes innnnnnn!

just finished up with client check ins and its time to relax and ready for a nice child rest day tomorrow!

Chest & Back at The warehouse!

Great session up on everything since last time i did this session here considerably. Feeling pretty full and pumps are great in the gym. Performance in a great spot. Appetite still flying.

did 20 mins CV this AM….boxed all check ins off and I’ve been and done a food shop this evening! 4 weeks until the Olympia and Im buzzing. Cant wait to get to Vegas and enjoy 10 days out there!

Early arms & delts tomorrow then me and Pheebs are going to run a few errands do some shopping and grab a coffee and have an actual chat and catch up because we have hardly spent any time together we have been so busy.

Its very important to make time for each other when you both lead busy lifestyles and it actually feels like im going on a date! lol

this is also probably down to blood thickness buddy, Lethargy, dizziness, nausea sound 100% like blood thickness alongside using EQ which is known for thickening of the blood.

Have you got anymore information regards your previous cycles, bloodwork, your experience, your current physique, diet etc etc….

This cycle is not what i would be recommending to anyone without even knowing your background information.

But this is very vague in terms of the information you are providing

This looks like a Chris Wormley diet and set up…..Can i ask is Chris still your coach or are you following an old plan of his. Chris was my first coach, and i still train at his gym now.30 weeks is a long time in a deficit. So there will be certainly some fatigue build up and hunger cravings. I would 100% start to reverse out now. But again if you currently have a coach then i would discuss your feelings and plan of action to move through this phase.hope this helps

Hi Nathan, yes Chris is my coach only started with him recently after he helped me with alternating my last plan from my last coach[/quote]

So i would speak to Chris buddy. I think he will agree that 30 weeks is a long time in a deficit and the onsets of fatigue probably need dropping. If you are feeling like you want to start to reverse and push up. Just explain this to him and you can come up with an action plan together

probably the most researched supplement that is proven to be effective dose 5g daily year round. It is also very useful as a GDA

Legs at Musclefactory swinton.

The cybex squat press was out of use when i arrived so i changed my session and reverted back to an old session which was a little more ham focused with 2 movements…..It was perfect today everything felt incredible.

Seated calves – 20 reps, 15 reps, 15 reps, 12 reps

lying ham curl (nytram) – stack x 10, 8 plates x 16

seated ham curl (cybex) stack + 2 x 10, 68 + 2 x 16

leg extension (cybex) 95 x 17, 113 x 12

hack squat (plate strength) 5pps x 10, 4pps x 16 (this is as steep as a cyber hack on rollers so literally hits hard in every portion of the rep. had to dig in with every single rep but felt great

SL horizontal leg press (cybex) 13 plates x 15, 11 plates x 20

adductors (life fitness) need a gym pin – full stack 3 sets x 30 reps

weight was 327lbs this AM i really don’t want to push much more than this but it just keeps creeping on.

appetite is still flying, performance, energy, sleep all good. So we hold here as long as my body allows!
