Bloods are a must before your first cycle. Most blokes skip it and just guess then have no idea what they’ve messed up when things go sideways. At least know your baseline before you start.

Smart call, recovery is very importatn. Try to dial fats back gradually, keep protein where it is and enjoy the phase of fueling :)

SDelts first makes sense and the arm supersets would give you that nice pump. Only thing I’d watch is shoulder fatigue before close grip bench. If you find strength drops, swap it earlier or keep one set in reserve. Otherwise looks good (y)

Nah mate you’re not broken. This is actually pretty common especially this soon after coming off and with deca in the cycle. Your only a week and half out and that’s usually when people feel the worst cause test is low, hormones are messy and libido does take a hit. Morning wood and ED...

These work outs look really good. Foods looking nice as well (y)

Bulgarians after all that is just cruel :ROFLMAO:… explains why legs are wrecked

Agree (y)

Reverse diet sounds like it did its job keeping weight stable. If you’re pushing up to 82kg just keep the surplus slow and controlled so it’s quality weight, not spillover. With more compounds in play recovery, BP and bloods become even more important, especially once EQ/NPP come in.

Some decent weights on there. These apps sure beat the old excel spreadsheets. I remember the days when PTs use to walk around with laptops during their sessions to keep track of clients workouts.

Yeah, this setup will grow arms. Volume, reps and short rests are exactly what works, especially if your elbows get cranky. You don’t need heavy low rep stuff for size and pushing that usually makes tendonitis worse. Keep most work in the 10 to15 rep range, train close to failure and progress...

Nice setup. How’s your training, are you able to post your workouts?

Feeling ‘fine’ day to day doesn’t always mean hormones are optimal. Especially in your 40s. If you do decide to cycle without TRT just be realistic about the comedown even with PCT. Getting repeat bloods first is smart either way so you’re not guessing.

Solid sessions 💪 keep recovery tight so the numbers keep climbing. Overall it’s very consistent and structured 👊

Not a fun one to deal with but it could have been worse (just another way to look at it I guess). It's good that you know what you'e doing. Nothing wroing with going light. The volume there is enough to get blood in and maintain strength without forcing it.

I get it 😂
