Day 69

After feeling very flat from not eating today I made myself hit the gym. I had some pre workout which really upset my stomach before hand because I felt so flat. Hit back and bi's fairly reasonably but not one of my best workouts..

Hammer strength high row 6 sets pyramided (50kg each hand max 8 reps)
Single db rows 4 sets pyramided
Wide grip lat pull down 4 sets pyramided
Bb up right rows 4 sets pyramided
Bb shrugs 4 sets pyramided

Double db hammer curls 4 sets pyramided
Single db hammers across body 4 sets pyramided
Reverse grip bb curls 4 sets pyramided

Weights took 60 mins plus 20 mins cardio


Due for a shot tonight

[auslifta]

Sounds like an idea.. Do you think I should change my split or just the diet?

Just the diet, maybe increase cardio. Run keto for a week

Day 69

Just did my shot in the left quad. I feel like throwing up but I don't know if it's from pre workout or pwo shake but it's too much for my stomach to handle at this point! I don't even know of I'm gonna eat again before bed. Diet has been so bad since Sunday!

[boxa06]

Day 70

Woke up at 84kgs. So sad I couldn't eat dinner or anything last night! Stomach just hurt and had no appetite. Can't believe how long this is going on for! Luckily I have the day off of work and can rest and try to eat.

[92G10]

Not all is lost. Always gotta look at some positives. In this case it goes to show to newbies the importance of training and nutrition despite what gear you are on. No good for you though huh! Hehe, just kidding... this will make you hungrier to feel good again. That's a big positive. There are no up's without the downs ;0)

Day 70

Started eating eggs today and more ham. Trying to get more protein into me today! Also bought 10 yakult shots so hopefully probiotics help my stomach.

[auslifta]

If you have a bug, it's best to starve it, bad for you right now. Smash those yakults and starve it for a day. Keep your fluids up.

[Blaz Kavlic]

Tough break box having an upset stomach when you need to eat! I got flu the other day for the first time in ages so I hope it is now out of my system before I start my cycle. You've got some good support from other guys here so keep on trucking. We're behind ya all the way.

Hey bro I've been sick this week but other than that it's been good. You been well? I'll put some pics up next week when I get back in the gym but I'm still looking sexy lol thanks for checking in bro

[boxa06]

Day 72

Woke up weighing 84.3kgs. I'm still feeling slightly dizzy in the morning but I think my apitite is back because I woke up hungry. Today I'll drop the fruit and try to get back into normal eating but the portions will start off smaller and hopefully I'll be back to normal in a couple of days. I plan to train today but I'm changing my split to

Quads, hams, lower back
Chest, upper back
Delts, tris, bis
Repeat

This will improve frequency but I may do less volume per muscle group. I like this split because it is easy to superset the entire workout if you want to. I was up to delt and abs then legs so I'll start from delts and arms then hit legs etc.

[sultan of swat]

Great progress bro, I love reading these logs. Any new pics?

Day 72

I just got in 5000iu of HCG. I have about 2 and a half weeks left on cycle plus 2 week in between last shot and PCT. So I'm thinking 1000iu every week for the next 5 weeks? Or is that too much..

[Macon_Bacon]

I'm glad you got the hcg . I'm excited to see how it helps with pct and overall gains. Hope you're getting back 100% after that stomach issue. Hit it hard these last few weeks.

Day 72

Still felt a bit crappy before I hit training so I popped 2 panadols and had my pre work out coffee and when I got going in the gym I felt better I'm still recovering but I'm happy with the workout and I noticed that I look more cut than before and I haven't seemed to have lost strength.

Plate loaded shoulder press 4 sets pyramided
Side lateral raises 4 sets pyramided

Ezy bar french press superset curls 4 sets pyramided

Is it ok to pin it once a week? Also can I do it IM? I don't have anything on hand for subq. I have no idea what I'm doing..

[boxa06]

Day 73

Woke up weighing 83.4kgs. I hope my weight moves back up in the next few days with the training and eating. I'm gonna hit legs and lower back this morning.

[ajordana]

id say do 500 IU every 3.5 days, thats usually the standard or every 3. you can do IM or sub q with it, sub-q seems to be preferred for hcg but you can do it either way really

[little men]

its not all lost man, look at your b4 and afters you look awsome so head up and be proud of the quality gains you have made

Thanks for responding man! I recon I'll go with IM because my mate that does sub q isn't around this week to show me how. But thanks for confirming IM.

Yea true! Thanks for the support and I'll try get a few more gains in these last few weeks

Day 73

I just trained legs and it went really well! Very intense! Felt like vomiting towards the end!

DTP squats superset leg curls 24 sets max squats were 140kgs 10reps, 160kgs 5reps, 180kgs 5 reps, 140kgs 10reps.

Weights took 44 mins plus 20 mins cardio



I'm still not eating as much as normal but I'm slowly increasing my meals. Yesterday and today I had the proper amount of carbs I normally would for morning, pre and pwo meals. Protein is around 30-60g per meal and slowly working it back up. I'm aiming for this diet that I was using around mid cycle.

Diet
Protein/carbs/fat

Meal 1 8.30 am
150g of oats
300g egg whites
30g whey
Universal animal pak
500mg vit c
73/85/15

Meal 2 10.30-11am
220g chicken breast
210g veggies
67/15/7

Meal 3 1.30pm
Same as meal 2

Meal 4 4-4.30pm (pre wo)
Large tin of tuna
150g oats mixed in 30g of protein powder
81/83/21

Meal 5 7-7.30pm (pwo)
100g of maxs pro extreme mass gainer
42g dextrose
40/80/9

Meal 6 8.30pm
300g home made lean beef or kangaroo pattys
200g veggies
90/10/15

Meal 7 11pm
50g micellar casien
4 1000mg fish oil tabs
1 500mg calcium tab
40/2/5

Total 458/290/79
Total calories 3703


Notes
When I train in the morning I will take in meal 1 plus half of the carbs from pre wo meal in 1 go. Then have my pwo meal. The ppwo meal I have been adding in the rest of pre wo meal 40g carbs and finding this works well to spread out carbs evenly. Also when I train in the morning I will still have that larger red meat meal at night as this is when I always get really hungry and I think that meal will tie me over nicely.

When I eat kangaroo in meal 6 sometimes I add fat to make up the fat macros as roo is leaner than beef.

I try to get a balance of protein and energy at 50/50. In this diet it looks as though protein accounts for 1800 cals and energy (carbs and fat) accounts for 1871 cals so it's fairly close to 50/50.

On rest days I won't eat pre or pwo meal but am starting to have carbs in the first few meals so make sure I am caloric surplus. If I am doing labour intesive work (2nd job) I will add more carbs while I'm working.

Day 73

Just did my first pin of HCG of 1000iu in my right delt and I think I didn't go deep enough. You can see a lump where I just injected! Hope it's nothing serious!

[auslifta]

Did you test it on a pregnancy test?

Ok lol so I just squirt like .1ml onto a pregnancy test? Do you think it's really neccesary though..

[boxa06]

Day 74

Weighed 83.4kgs this morning. The second half of yesterday I gained my apitite back. Maybe it was just getting back in the gym that helped. Today I packed all my usual size meals so hopefully I eat everything! Plan to train chest and upped back tonight.

My right delt is a bit sore from the hcg but it seems to look fine. No lump or anything but next time I'm going deeper!

[boxa06]

Day 74

I ate all my meals today so I'm back to normal I had a crazy chest and back session tonight!

Flat db press superset wide grip lat pull down 5 sets pyramided (max db press was 50kgs 4/8 reps with spot, lat pull down 140kgs 4/7 reps with spot)
Bent over bb rows superset 30 degree incline press 4 sets pyramided
Reverse grip lat pull down superst cable flys 4 sets pyramided
Bent over reverse flys superset shrugs 4 sets pyramided

Weights took 48 mins plus 20 mins cardio

Edit. I should have mentioned that today I put heaps of strain on my left rotator cuff by going too heavy. I felt a slight agrivation while training. A couple of years ago in a chest and back 5 by 5 routine I damaged my left rotator cuff and couldn't do pull downs or rows for a couple months. I will try not to go as heavy and try maintain more control especially on the pull downs and rows. I don't want another injury!
