Didn't skip leg day even though I wanted to.

Don’t worry, the days will come when you actually start looking forward to doing legs

 

[SpoonT]

Arms feeling super tight after today's workout.

Yeah for sure, 125mg a week would be much better if you're comfortabe with that, split it across 2 pins a week... that's more TRT territory

I agree with this as well @SpoonT

 

[SpoonT]

I think I might need to switch some of these back to single leg again.

 

[SpoonT]

Woah I forgot to post Fridays work out. Don't worry guys, I didn't skip it.

 

[SpoonT]

Little bit more of a weight jump, but still not being concerned yet. Plus, it was nice to enjoy the far too many birthday celebrations in the one week.

Leg extensions and lying leg curls, those weight numbers are good.

I would'nt be worried with at

Absolutely, very happy with where my strength is heading. Just gotta get lean without losing any of it.

 

[SpoonT]

Very happy to be at 100kg for my working weight on bench now.

 

[ironguru]

Absolutely, I had pretty good results on 250mg, and I'm pretty sure that's not even considered much of a cycle.

Did you see/feel a big difference with the 500mg a week?

Not hugely but the numbers kept heading in the right direction. Muscles up, fat down.

 

[SpoonT]

Another late post, but getting real happy with my squats form and getting back to enjoy them. Looking for to starting to push hard again.

Your cruise will help you with that

Your cruise will help you with that

That's the idea, plus a basic cut.

 

[SpoonT]

Pullups are stalling a bit, but form still feels strong. Arms are starting to get real sore and I can feel the pump on arm days now.

 

[hubbles]

Pullups are stalling a bit,

Keep at it, but if you’ve been stuck for a while try mixing in some negatives for strength.

 

[SpoonT]

Shoulder felt pretty good today, feels like it's on the mend. Legs switched to singles on extensions and calves.

 

[SpoonT]

Starting to plan what's next, when I go back to a cruise and a cut in a couple of weeks, I'm thinking I'll dial down the intensity and add in a bit more cardio and core focus and do a big push for leaning out. This is the PPL+Cardio plan I've put together for myself. I'm a simple man so I've kept it pretty simple, I'll still be aiming for 8-12 reps and pushing for progressive overload, but ultimately happy with maintaining strength or only slow increases. I hate cardio at the best of time, so I've kept it pretty light, just hitting the treadmill initially, but as the weather improves, I might try getting outside onto an oval or something and attempt some interval jogging or something.
