Very impressive write up. The part about tempo and actually reaching real failure is spot on and most people quit way before they think they do. I like the toolbox comparison too, makes more sense than the usual volume vs intensity argument. Only thing I say is recovery has to be on point. HIT...
You do have the frame and mass. Try holding onto the 2000 mark consistently for a few weeks, keep protein high and try not to cheat on the weekends. I reckon that will make a difference.
I perosnally wouldn’t add HCG now. HCG mimics LH.. it doesn’t restart your HPTA and it’s best used during cycle or right before PCT...not in the middle of it. He’s already on Nolva, which stimulates his own LH/FSH production anyways. Adding HCG now can actually delay proper recovery if mistimed.
