Approved Log My Bulking Cycle

Yeah I thought typo LOL, ONE thing to keep in mind is that the gravy accelerates muscle strength etc, this happens Fast, the tendons and nerves do not have time to keep up and that can be a problem, so the muscles are in fact too strong for nerves etc and there U go BADABOOM nerve or tendon injury, doc is correct rest periods are most important for the entire body, NOW BE A GOOD MAN AND GO LIFT SOMETHING 😎
Exactly- after a few solid cycles the damage compounds. Surprisingly enough it doesn’t seem to be heavy low rep stuff causing it- Probably because lifting technique, Basic powerlifting movements and long rest periods are adhered to. This also gives tendons & nerves a bit longer to adjust. Tendons need very big loads( more than body weight) and big rest as they don’t have blood supply to rebuild themselves quickly
 
Thanks but 605 was a typo lts, only 65 haha in trying to increase by 5kg every session or 2, I'm not trying to ego lift or

If you continue to add 5kgs every week get comfortable with less reps or sets- that will keep intensity up without overuse injury ( as long as you’re warmed up with first 2 sets that are not working weight)

@chinz yeah I'm taking the increases slow to accommodate for the nerves and tendons, I'd rather get part way to my goal on this cycle and get closer to it on future cycles, thanks for your feedback
 
Been a bit slack on the food posts recently, breakfast has mainly been the same two heaped cups of oats, followed by protein shakes and fruit until lunch Bananas and apples , Six to eight eggs scrambled at lunch, more fruits and protein shakes until dinner, Two pieces of Porterhouse steak with baked potatoes cut into chips and baked pumpkin tonight, and earlier in the week meal prepped homemade chow Mein made with lean beef and diced veggies for when wanting a break from steak, looking forward to some chicken breast in the coming week

Clean 💪
 
We all get a bit slack at times mate, time to recharge batteries is as important as all the rest, one ot two days break from diet itself and training allows our bodies to recover and bounce back strong, U don't want to overtax ur immune system so backing off from diet couple days gives ur digestive system a break as well, 👍🙏

That's a good mix. Training smarter and more aware of your body is the way to go. Can get frustrating sometimes, but no point trying to force it. It's never worth the risk!
