Approved Log My Training Log - Another old man trying to live life as a young man

Today's training has been a fail, I was up all night with manflu and currently typing with the sweats. Annoying as my gear came this morning from @nexuspharma and was ready and raring to go.

I've only just started taking NAC and Citrus Bergamot so probably best to take this for a few days first anyway to prime my liver and kidneys for the increased oxidative stress.

I'm very pleased I made a bulk batch of chicken pasta at the weekend, nothing to worry about making to eat today.

Well still suffering from the remants of my cold, did a mini workout at home to see how I feel, ready for smashing it out hopefully on Wednesday. Upped to 300mg of test this week but will start the Anavar on Wednesday. Sure is much easier to extract from @nexuspharma test vials over the primoteston ones. Anyone know what carrier oil is used?

Well had my DXA scan, not surprising but disappointed. Inconsistency and having two weeks off test to drop my levels hit me harder than expected, had the same issue losing weight doing this three months ago. Need to either work on my getting my levels as high as I can without going over the clinics arbitrary limit or go the UGL route full time.

I've missed 12 sessions in three months, Christmas holidays, two long weekends and neck injury, essentially a completely wasted trimester.

But on the positive side a great motivator to make sure I get back and don't waste the next three months. And my bone density t score has significantly improved -1.2 > -0.9

Photos look good. Nice work on the lean mass gain.
 
Thanks I'm getting there. My goal is 90kg and >10% body fat. I think this is the ideal size for my frame and sports. Also I don't think I can get much more out of three weight sessions a week. I'll give this workout another three months along with some drug assitance and see how I get on.

I know I really need to train more, but with two little kids and their after school activities, plus work and my other training make it way too hard for me. I know I can get up at 4am like some of you do and train, I just struggle as it is. Hopefully I'll get there one day!

Life does get difficult and everyone has different responsibilities, as long as you stay at it you'll get there bro even if it takes a little longer I'm sure you will
 
So I started today's workout with a ***y pair of new gym shoes. They were heavily discounted, not sure if this was because they were last years Metcon's or if it was due to the pink on them!

I reached 90kg a few times whilst on cycle but never close to 10% I don't think. That has been my goal as well.
 
What I don't understand, I see other people of similar height who weigh the same as me, and they look so much bigger. My bodyfat is 12% so don't think it's that they have much lower bf. Maybe I'm carrying a lot of water, but doesn't feel like it.

A good example of this is Jesse James West, in this youtube video he weighs 84kg, and he's 180cm.

They might look bigger even at the same weight and height cause their muscles are shaped differently or packed more densely. Could also be just how their body is built, their genetics. And I think water retention does play a role here. It can make you look smoother more rounded and full while someone with less looks more defined.
 
Workout from home today, very fortunate to have been in a good place financially during covid and was able to turn half the garage into a gym. The last few years of daycare though have absolutely cleaned us out, and with the wife's work doing bad, there is no way in the world I could do it these days. Still trying to avoid the discussion around selling it all!

Nice mix and good volume. I do like the setup, no need for the gym.
 
Thanks all, the only real thing I'm missing for my workouts at home is a leg extension/curl machine. Would love to have one but can't afford it, and don't have the space. I still prefer working out in a commerical gym, mostly as the gym is next to work so gives me a nice break in the day.

So today I started my Anavar cycle, only 20mg a day for 8 weeks along with 300mg a week of Test E. Thanks to @nexuspharma. Had PIP from switching to MCT oil from Primoteston, this is my second week and is vastly improved. I never thought I'd have to get used to another carrier.

Just back from workout, naked chicken burrito for lunch. I've reduced weights and increased rep ranges for my compounds, really want the next three months to be hypotrophy focused.
