Krugerrs Accountability

[krugerr]

Its the epitome of evil.
I did it on sunday after my shoulder workout. And I've been in agonising paid.

Standing Calf Raise
*14kg x 15 reps, warmup and stretch
*27kg - 6-8 reps, forced, imediately into 20 flat calf raises, repeated 5 times until I saw black.

Man I screwed it up and half assed it cos I couldn't find the exact workout (rep speed etc) on the thread. It still sucked, but I was so fried from squats and stiff leg deads.

I got bloods done today as well. Lol

Ah damn!! Well write it down now!!
I threw mine in after a shoulder workout. It really only takes 5 mins if you've got a spotter to help with forced reps.

Yeah? For TRT?

Doctor issued another script. This time I got Testogel sachets. This stuff is much better. Absorbs much faster, non sticky too.
It does come in sachets though, and my daily dose is 1/2, which isn't accurate. I just guesstimate and squeeze it out.

No rash. But I got a glimpse of the notes at Dr surgery. Says if no luck with this refer immediately to Nebido. So I think I'll drop him a call tomorrow and see what he says!!

Trt related, been on since 2012 unfortunately lol. Do they not prescribe test cyp in the uk?

I think the only injectable is Nebido, which allows for injections only every 10 weeks. Much better than using Cyp/Enan twice a week!

Krugerrs Diary Entry - 1

General summary of how things are going, and how I'm feeling. First thing though, Calves are back to 75% performance. Woohoo!

Weight has leveled out, I seem to be stuck at the 280lb mark. I've dropped some inches around the waist, as none of my office wear fits anymore! Im just stuck in limbo, I find the that its easy to eat my meals when Ive prepped them, I've no problem with eating the same thing day in, and day out. I fall down the hardest in the evenings when Im on the sofa with the kids, watching a movie, or studying. I get overwhelming urges to snack. Even after I say to myself "You're not hungry" I still go to the cupboard and hunt for things!

Im away at Doncaster strongman even this weekend, but I think I may revisit my diet and see what I can do there. I really wanna get back down to the 15% mark before may, Novastep, expect an email!

Training has been ok, still feeling quite weak overall. Few things are off, I was decline benching 160kg (350lbs) for 10+ reps easy, and this week couldnt get 90kg for 10 unassisted. Disheartened, but driven to achieve this again! I was "that" guy that intimidated the other gym members when I trained, and currently I'm not. I wanna be back at the point and size where people stop and watch me grab the massive dumbells again.

TRT has been good so far, Kelkel and BIB helped on my other thread regarding this. The new gel is much easier to use, dries almost instantly which means I dont have to wait 30mins with a sticky jelly on my stomach. Unsure how im feeling on it, its obviously considerably lower than a cycle, and I know how that feels when it kicks in. Ive been so low naturally for so long, I dont know how "normal" is supposed to feel. Ive had no trouble with libido this week, the Mrs thought all her Christmas' had come at once. Even found myself getting urges to look at p0rn, which is a first for many months. I havent felt any increases in mood at all, still feel kinda down, but this could be working two jobs, 7 days a week along with having a 2month old daughter, a 4 year old, and a 27year old Mrs to entertain on top of that! Everything feels like effort, and Im still quite short tempered and moody, I suspect this will pick up when my hormones level out. Still lacking in motivation, the gym is a real bummer, I love it once I am there, but getting there is like drawing blood from a stone. My brother has been a godsend here, meeting me at 6/7am just to train me, ensures I dont hit snooze and leave it.

Works been excellent recently, passed one of my exams, Im booking another for early March. I'll then be changing roles, and my salary could triple by year end. Ive just had another 10% pay rise as well, I am hoping that I'll be able to quit bouncing later this year, which will level out my sleep pattern, and give me more time with the family at weekends. Selfishly, I'll be able to relax more too.
7 days a week is just killing me, monday - friday I do 9:30 - 5:30, with an hour commute each way so my 40 hour week, is 50 hours with travel. Then I work friday and saturday night 10-late, usually getting into bed around 4am. I seem to sleepwalk through the weekend and wake up Monday ready for work again.

Anyway, I guess I have rambled enough. Wanted to get my thoughts out on paper.

Thanks to those following, and supporting me, in this thread and others, genuinly appreciate the comments and feedback.

We have a standing calf raise machine, so the weight seems off. However that 27kg felt fvcking heavy!

You are 280 lbs? I didn't think normal people could be that size. I guess you are not normal, damn - that's huge!!!!!!

I don't have kids, i have a decent job, a demanding wife and a demanding dog. I thought eating 6 healthy meals and working out are so difficult for me. I was truly starting to believe I was working really hard.

I am so happy you wrote this post and I stopped by to read it.

I can't imagine balancing life, work, family and gym with your schedule. And you are killing it at 280 lbs with abs (I saw your pics)

Very inspiring.

Hahaha, thank you very much my friend. I'll go back to the pictures and check my wording. They're about 18months old now, depending which you looked at, I was around 250lbs in those I think. The most recent one on here of me, is the one of my naked ass at the stove!

I have always found it some what easy to be large, I gained weight considerably easy, but a lot of fat as well. It is hard work to balance it all, but also rewarding when we have the good times, and im not moody!

Thank you again for the kind words my friend!

Doncaster - Giants Live WSM Qualifier

Was excellent, for those wanting to watch it at on TV I wont spoil the results. However a great day out again, wicked performance by all the competitors. Eddie was on form again, but he always is!

Diet was a little off point, but it was a weekend away with the old man, and brother, so we indulged a little in dining out.

New diet plan is underway, with approximately 15 weeks until my holiday (10th May) I think Ive got plenty of time now to cut some BF and look semi-reasonable!

[RaginCajun]

you have plenty of time and it is always good to set a date in regards to goals.

that's awesome that you were able to see those monsters live!

Yeah, ive got plenty of time!

Saw them last year too, great day out. The differences in strength is just phenomenal.

[NACH3]

Looking solid considering where you started... Muscle Memory is a Great Thing, Krugger! Looks like you've got sometime left too! It's amazing what just a good diet can do!

You just got 'the gel' too, correct!

Oh and btw - how fvkin tall are you?

Lmfao. Those are in reverse order! I was 260lbs and I started after Christmas at 300lbs! I'm just making this worse lol.

Yeah I've had gel now for about 10 days. Hoping to upgrade to Nebido injection in s couple weeks

Even the top guys here still learn things buddy! Hopefully though there will be some bits that help you on your mission too!

[krugerr]

I havent posted every workout, apologies for that! Feeling good, motivated, and not hungry yet! However the girls in my office bought in a ton of snack food today. Cowbags!

Legs this morning, felt good. Still gaining back strength, so a lot weaker than Im used to. Calves are still tight when stretched, 10 days after that fvcking routine! Just did two lighter sets for calves to stretch and get some blood in them. I will hit them hard with a blast on sunday probably.

Chest feels like it was beaten with a mallet. Had a day off work yesterday, i felt absolutely exhausted. Diets on point, and confirmed by Nova!
Weight has crept up slightly, but thats two weeks into my TRT, so im unsure how this is effecting it. Libido hasnt picked up as much as I had hoped. I am noticing mood swings. Once a day dosing, and I have read this is an 8hour half life. Nice one Doc!

Ive got another blood test in two weeks, but I am thinking I'll book one for next tuesday instead. See if I can expedite the change to Nebido.

Strong lifts on the bench press (working set) I guess that's why you need 3 warm ups - I would call them warm ups working sets at the moment for my self #feelingweak

Everyone's weights are personal my friend. These lifts are very low for me, but I'm a lot bigger than you.

I'm sure my strongest points were mediums sets for the big boys here. And even still, their lifts compared to Brian Shaw are tiny.

Always someone bigger my friend! So don't compare your lifts to anyone else.

Sorry, missed this!!!

Yeah I'm hoping so too. Such a ball ache. I actually self dosed for about 18months because the NHS system is so poor.

I know what you mean about time. I just finished my full time job. Got in, eaten and now I'm heading out for my 2nd job.

I tell you what, I miss my routine on the weekends. Bouncing means I get up 4-5 hours later on a weekend, which means Im already two meals behind. The mrs and kids wanna go out and do stuff, so I usually end up improvising some meals. The calories and macros are not wildly out, but theres definitely variation. Example, I made a baked chicken wrap as opposed to chicken and couscous. I blended my spinach with whey as opposed to having it with each meal. I threw in a cheat meal of eggs on cheese on toast!

Tomorrow is my birfday. I plan on just switching my dinner for a prawn or steak based dish, although Im stuck for ideas. I kinda fancy steak, chips, and eggs! It'll bring the calories up, and the fat, but I think by an acceptable value. No cake though!

Baked some flapjack cookie things yesterday out of boredom. They ended up a bit dry, but the Mrs loves them. So that'll keep her quiet for a few days!

Blood test in the morning, I wanna see how levels are doing. Im really not liking this gel though. On top of its ridiculous half life, its just a pain to keep applying it. I just dont have time to stand there bare-chested and let the bloody stuff dry. Two young kids and two jobs, plus studying, not plausible. Fvcking hate this stuff. Missed two applictions last week due to being too busy and forgetting. Which probably isnt helping my mood swings!!

[krugerr]

Day off work today, thought Id treat myself as it is my birfday. Family are all coming over tonight for a chinese, thought it was only right that I went and destroyed a bodypart in the gym. Ive been picking Marcus' brain recently, and hes really fired me up. And helped me realise a particular muscular goal for this year, I want to add some serious mass to my legs, and target my shoulders too.

So, after a trip into town this morning with the Mrs and Kids, came home, and popped to the gym for some pain. My brother, as I think I have said before is really in tune with me on training. I dont have to signal when I want a spot, or when Im done. He pushes me the way I need to be pushed when doing HIT. Really good session, and was done in 40 mins.

Legs

Leg Extension - Double
*Warmup - 40kg x 15 reps, Light
*Warmup - 40kg x 15 reps, Light

Legs are suitably sore this morning!!!

Had a huge chinese last night with the family, and a couple of whiskeys too! All in all, it was a good birthday.

Up this morning at 5:45am for a 6am gym session. Hit shoulders, was an okay session, didnt hit the weights I wanted on shoulder press, but I'll aim to improve that. Had no headphones, got caught up in conversation with the gym owner and missed shrugs. I'll hit them tomorrow with back.

Why are you gaining fat though? Quick read through your log and your meals seem really well dialled in! You do any cardio?

I should have dated them. I was bulking slowly, those first 3 pictures were over about 18months. That final picture was a year after that, Id stopped training and got fat. The final picture the Mrs took and showed me, which spurred me to returning and kicking this all up the arse.

I havent posted any pictures since I restarted. You're right though, diet is pretty dialled in, im logging it all. No cardio though!
