If it wasn’t upper lower I’d say a 3rd day is sometimes ok if it’s a smaller muscle group. But the demand U/L puts on recovery is very high so I agree with everyone else here

272 today and feeling fuller / better already

Chest today and it felt really good. Tested out the flat smith press and managed 4 plates for 8 reps so that’s a up there with some of my strongest sets

The whole session felt solid and strong. Pumps were much better today too

All in all a great day

Ready food wise I hit 950c 400p 80f

Aiming for similar today but get fats up over 100

1st day back to pushing back up woke up 270 and hungry. Finally!

Macros (roughly aiming for)
400+ protein. 800+ carbs 150+ fats.

Anabolics will go back up any week now

Back day today felt great. Felt strong, not overly pumped cos I haven’t been eating a lot last few days due to sickness

I’m excited to keep growing!

PIP is never ever a good thing and most people don’t realise how bad it can be to your health too. If it’s made with cheap synthetic (long shelf life) carrier oil which most 400 and over blends are, then it elevates systemic inflammation straight away for a few days

Bin it and get a better brand / batch.

Sleep can affect everything. But also, maybe it’s time to increase energy / improve recovery via adjusting volume or food intake… changing rep ranges sometimes helps me too. Also depends on your growth. And what your goal is etc

[Sasan Heirati]

Depends where that point in the cut is. And it’s also quite individual for example last few weeks of a contest prep when I am extremely lean , not only is there zero progress in the gym, but things drop off too, BUT that’s ok cos it doesn’t hurt my physique. IF it was hurting / shrinking my physique OR its early in the cut and it really bothered me, I would pull back on volume.

Aim on most cuts for me should be to retain muscle, this can be done on much lower volume training. And this allows your to stay / get stronger.

I don’t see any benefit to more
Rotations at this point

There’s no set answer for this and I think you should take advice from non fertility professionals with a pinch of salt.

Having said that, I had my first boy my coming off clean. Everything. Only when you’re OFF OFF, do your testes start to kick back in. HCG / HMG etc they’re all still synthetic and will signal your natural production to shut down

My 2nd child was conceived during a blast, I didn’t have time to come off. Just too 2.5mg cialis every day to boost performance.
He was conceived after 4 months

I maybe an exception to rule but that’s my experience

BUT you can conceive whilst on trt + HCG and FSH (better then HMG)

But for your case with 0 count it might be like difficult

I would run a low TRT with 300-500iu HCG x 3 days weekly. Then get your sperm tested again.

If still low , stop TRT and run HCG only

If still low. Stop HCG and just wait till your LH and FSH level starts to come back up and start creating sperm

It’s different for EVERYONE

Definitely get some bloods done see what level your hormones are

Ghrp’s- waste of time. Trust me. At your level A-you don’t even need them and B- you should live the lifestyle and train your body to become as efficient as possible on its own

[Sasan Heirati]

Depends how your pull day is set up? Exercise selection / rep ranges etc? If you’re loading your lowered back quite heavily on back day as well as doing heavy stiff legs on leg day this might be too much stress on your lower back without some rest in between

[Sasan Heirati]

Rest day today and a needed one to try shake off this stupid cold.

Not weighing myself since I’ve not been able to get much food down:

On the plus side I look leaner haha veins down my legs , and no bloat in my mid section

All nicely timed to start the climb to 290 as of tomorrow

Will I get there? Don’t know but I’m gonna give it my best

Thinking about how I want to look on stage next season, and how bad I want to win will get me there I’m sure

[Sasan Heirati]

Still feel like shit today, also dropped back down to 279

but managed an arm session which I arguably shouldn’t have bothered with lol

My strength and pump in the session was actually very good, which shows this sickness isn’t too bad, just makes it hard to see and breath cos of where it’s hit me

Anyway, lots of honey lemon tea tonight , as much as good as I can eat it’s destroyed my appetite, full rest day tomorrow

Then HOPEFULLY I can get back to pushing hard come Monday bb

Starting to think the higher dose rebound wasn’t the best idea, next year I won’t be repeating this method at all ; back to what I’ve always done and trusted

Arms
Dip machine x 3
Close grip chest press x 3
Single cables extensions x 4
Ez cable curls x 4
Single cable curls x 4
Hammer cable curls x 2

I like hitting calves 3-4 times weekly to really force then to grow. They grew best for me when when I hit them 5 days a week. Seated calf raises to work but I’d have that at the bottom of my to do list. I usually alternate standing, leg press toe press and donkey

[Sasan Heirati]

Weight up a touch to 274 as planned today. Last night’s extra carbs and fats came form crumpets, potato cakes, butter and jam.

Started developing a bad throat and sinuses through the night. Usually I’d go train if it’s just a head cold, but this one’s got my eyes stinging snd water and I’m out breath doing absolutely nothing

So decided to rest today.

Food as usual but some added chicken soup and veggies to try feel better

Hopefully good enough to train tomorrow

Also, my latest back training session I live on the site now so have a watch and let me know you think guys : )

[Sasan Heirati]

Use insulin sparingly id. Lagging body parts, peak off season food intake, and I would cycle it in and out. I think it’s well
Overused in todays bodybuilding

[Sasan Heirati]

If you’re healthy you can sustain that cycle for quite a long time mate

As Jordan said stay lean, stay fit, monitor blood pressure and resting heart rate, live the lifestyle !
