    I would do what works for me and that's what I wrote in post #14932, nothing changes for me because my main aim is to preserve muscle tissue. 7 weeks till my holiday means nothing I would just go more smooth than lose the tissue. You may be different and you may want to cut your bf down fast but for me my experience tells me at my size tissue goes fast if not supported. All you can do is make sure your anabolic and increase your cardio.

    PS...I wouldn't of left it late to diet

    50-75mcg will be fine, concentrate on your cardio to create the deficit

    I'm not trying to be morbid but do any of you think about steroids and your long term health, does it come into your mind when cycling especially with all the bodybuilders who have issues. I know we can all say they had these underlying issues to start with but do any of you think about your long term health?

    Absolutely...but I have a struggle going on in my mind. I want to run a small cycle. I have one in mind, but I know bf% is still too high and I don't have a good foundation built up....yet. However, I have a stress echo coming up early next year and if my heart continues to remodel at the rate it has thus far, well.....I would like to do a nice light cycle in addition to my TRT.

    ...have I ever mentioned I have an affinity for tren base?

    But health is a primary concern and should be for all of us. If nothing else, think about those that rely on you...spouses, children, friends....

    That's one reason it saddens me to see people just jump into a multi-gram cycle utilizing test, 19-nors, DHT derivatives... because for them it will probably never be enough. Just add another oral, throw some 'slin into the mix, and whatever else they see.
    If they would just stop and think.....many of the top.competitors may use crazy amounts of AAS, etc. , but if it was that easy, everyone would be spiking and getting huge sitting on their "arse". There are no shortcuts to hard work except working harder.

    Doesn't play into my mind at all. Granted I haven't cycled yet, but I am in the planning stage of my first prop blast. First of many, I'm sure

    I've been leaning over from the back of the bench instead of leaning in from the padded side. I'll have to try leaning in from the padded side. Might be more comfortable.
    Just hang over the top of it. My head and arms are "over" the top of the pad. Arms hang straight down and nothings in the way of your dumbells. Everything will fall into place.

    All the time. And we've spoken about it at length both here and via pm. It's why most of my cycles anymore are basically just test. Also part of why I get full BW twice per year.

    Question about blasting vs a cycle. .

    Is it more likely that a trt blast will retain/maintain more of the size and strength gains then a typical cycle/pct?

    Any cycle will maintain better gains if your on trt rather than running a pct. On TRT your have no testosterone lag after cycle.

    I don't sfla i keep all the tention on the shoulder so the tri's don't take over. Try it do a set then one were you don't go all the way up stop the last 1/4 of the move and you will feel the difference.

    Ok like I said couldn't find any body builder demos for this movement. If anyone can find one for me I would appricaite it lamo.

    Just wanted to study proper form before hitting these but I think I have a good general idea. If I can get the wife to video I will tonight. but I think she will be busy doing cardio.

    Here is the link to this guy demoing the press (he is in good shape but still a tool . Which is why I asked the lock out question. He tells u to press ur shoulders up at he end of the movement. Which I will not do.

    I think Yates has a video somewhere doing these I'll have a look and see if I can find it.

    Tonight was shoulders for me.

    Db presses was a bit weak on them two hard sets and a drop set.

    Arnie db presses I love these.

    Farmers walk love these and the burn they cause.

    Side raises supersetted with front raises epic.

    Started out slow but really came good in the end

    All I can say is words can't describe how torn apart my back is after last nights session.

    Wide grip pull downs: 2 warmup, 1 feel, 2 working with a double drop on the first and triple on the second

    T-bar row: 1 feel, 1 working w 2 RP sessions before dropping and reping to failure

    BB row: 1 set to positive failure, 1 set with 2 RP

    Seated cable row: 2 feel, 1 working w double drop, 1 working with wide neutral grip and double drop.

    Again ive ran a lot of primo in my past but the actual amount what I thought was a good dose was 800-1000mgs anything less didn't touch me. The highest ive ran is double that but again I don't recommend that. Its a weak compound and doesn't produce huge amounts of gains its excellent in a cutting cycle because it doesn't hold water and gives nice small lean gains but what I would say its a good addition to a cutting stack, it gives you an edge.

    How To: Standing Straight-Bar Military Press - YouTube
    You make sure your core is very tight and your wrists are under your elbows, keep the abs and butt tight and tensed and try and grip the floor with your feet, this will keep your whole core tight throughout the movement, if you release your abs and lean back your in a position were your going to injure yourself so make sure all the way through the movement your core is tight and you press slowly and controlled. I wouldn't lock out and also only come down to your mouth/chin area or what ever is comfortable. You can use a standing military press machine, smith machine or just take it off the squat rack. Here is Phil doing it on the smith machine

    Pre workout shake with 3 lots of coffee, I never have coffee but was feeling tired so thought I'd give myself a lift. OMFG I was on fire sweating buckets and the fire inside me was burning so hard, I couldn't stop and I killed it.

    Biceps, Triceps and forarms

    Seated db curls
    3 warm upsets
    2 working sets plus 2 drops right down to halves -fuking killed me the pump was immense

    bent over concentration curls on the low cable for constant tension
    2 feel sets
    2 working sets to failure plus 2 drops - had to use my other arm for the last 3 reps wooow what a peak

    db hammer curls
    2 feel sets]
    2 working sets to failure plus 2 drops right down to halves

    My biceps were on fire, only had a minute rest inbetween sets and really concentrated on the peak contraction, my biceps exploded in front of my eyes, must of grown an inch easy with the pump and the feeling was horny as fuk. Didn't feel like my biceps when I touch them they felt numb and hard.

    Incline lying db extension
    2 feels sets
    2 working sets to failure plus 1 rest pause

    single arm cable pushdowns
    2 feels ets
    2 working sets to failure plus 2 forced reps which blow my arms and stretched my T-shirt, looked like I had a horseshoe up there

    slight incline close grip smith machine bench press
    2 feel sets
    1 working set to failure plus 2 drops, only could manage one working set due to the pump setting my arms like concrete,

    Taped when I got home because I am a sad cvnt and just about 20.5"'s not bad for a 47 yr old "has been"
