You'd definitely feel the pumps with that approach. I use this similiar approach when I mix things up.

Bloodwork via Roidsafe collected by QML. A few head scratches, but there is the bloodwork 5 weeks on cycle

Yeah mate for sure, it feels awesome , will be interesting trying to drive after a leg day using this method lol

 

[hubbles]

Can't complain about those test levels

Thats true , happy with it, the absence of LMS means the nandrolone will show as testosterone as well , but very happy with the number, goes to show that quality gear can be of great assistance in smaller doses

 

[shawShanks]

From what I know, it can definitely inflate the total test reading but those numbers look good.

This morning session went :

Incline Split Press - 3 sets 12@ 30kg db
Flyes - 3 sets 15@ 10kg db
Dips - 2 sets to failure
Cable Flyes - upward 1 set [email protected]
- downward 1 set [email protected]

Targeted chest this morning, felt pretty good , slowing tempo down allows alot of hurt with a lot less weight, the light cable flyes at the finish were done with no rest between the upward and downward set , the slow tempo made it feel like my chest was full of battery acid. Will be using more of this type of tactic to finish with I think

Yeah mate cheers, the rbc count is a bit higher than I would have hoped considering it's pretty early and the elevated LD could be put down to many things, but happy with the hormone side of things

This morning :

Barbell Curls - 3 sets 15@ 25kg bb
Skullcrushers - 3 sets 12 @ 38kg ez
Cable curls - 3 sets 20 @ 12.5kg
Tricep Rope Pushdown - 3 sets 15@ 15kg

Training arms today , using the approach of time under tension as I've been employing all week. Felt awesome, arms don't deserve their own day in my opinion, but let's be honest how fun is arm day if you have one. Always fun trying to drink out of a coffee cup afterward . I will be swapping out skullcrushers which I love, for overhead tricep press which I also love , I feel you get a better stretch out of the overhead and can target the long head with a better range of motion , but thats just my general consensus

 

[shawShanks]

If you ever get bored of the overhead press you can try single arm cable overhead extensions or seated dumbbell French press both give that nice stretch without smashing your joints. Skullcrushers are great but they start to chew up your elbows once the weight creeps up.

Couple of quick ones

Yeah that's a fair point mate , you advocate for standing or seated French Press

Training yesterday went as follows

Leg curl - 3 sets 12@35kg mac
Leg Extension - 3 sets 12@30kg mac
Hack Squat - 3 sets 12@ 62.5kg mac
Standing Calf Raise - 3 sets 12@ 70kg mac
Bul. Split Squat - 3 sets 12@ 17.5kg db
Seated Calf Press - 2 sets 20@28kg mac


Changed the order I hit legs curls and extensions first to maximise targeting the quads and hamstrings , getting the blood into them with those iso exercises helped the squat quite a bit, could have moved more weight , but chose against it trying to really give that time under tension a nudge. Doing hack squats for a change up on barbell squats , plus enables me to go closer to negative failure. Did a bit of a mischief to myself on seated calf press, for whatever reason the pin removes the opposite way to normal so when I released it I didn't have the load supported , my right ankle did not appreciate it and I had a few words to say too. Wont be making that mistake again. Very happy with the way it went, will be pre fatiguing the quads and hamstrings prior to squat variations from now on

 

[Dan30185]

Training yesterday went as follows :

Incline DB Press - 3 sets 12@ 37.5kg db
Hammer Curls - 3 sets 15@ 15kg db
Pec Dec Fly - 3 sets 15@ 25kg mac
Lateral Raises - 3 sets 12@ 12kg db
Facepull - 3 sets 15@ 18kg mac
Tricep Press Down - 3 sets 12 @ 20kg

Did some chest, shoulders and arms as I missed a day at the gym through sleeping in. A few exercises I haven't done in a minute and some more focused extension work.

 

[Dan30185]

Starting to get some pimples on chest and stomach, there are two that a pretty painful, although if I woukd leave them alone and stop squeezing them it woukd help. But so far the only adverse side effect im experiencing

 

[shawShanks]

I usually go seated. You get a better stretch and more control through the movement. Standing lets you go a bit heavier but it can bring your lower back into it and mess with stability. Also find seated keeps the focus on the long head of the tricep and takes momentum out of the lift so form stays tighter.

Pretty common on cycle. Test and Deca can crank up oil production and clog pores. Just keep your skin clean like shower after training, change shirts often and don’t squeeze them cause makes it worse. They’ll usually settle once hormones level out post cycle.

Been a fair while since I've done them , will give them a crack though, cheers for the idea. I've been doing the old school tricep overhead press, where the back is slightly overextended over the width of the bench feet on ground and letting the weight go all the way behind laying accross the bench instead of in line with it. It's great but at 40 sometimes it just is a bit much on my back , it caused alot less discomfort in my 20s and even 30s lol
