Back In Black - I'm (Still) Just Making My Play

[Rusty11]

Sorry to hear that. There is absolutely nothing worse than a screwed up back. Can't walk. Can't sit. Can't lay down. Can't roll over in bed. Can't get dressed. Hope it gets better soon, man.

[tarmyg]

I hate anything that makes me not being able to hit the gym. Had a fever on Monday and I felt guilty about not going to the gym and I felt, out all things, lazy. Hate it so I feel your pain here.

Well, I can't really feel guilty, there's no way I can train today but I am missing it. It means I will only have trained twice this week but it really isn't worth the risk and keeping me out for longer.

Now, the really sad part is that I have to cut my carbs on training days to take into account the lack of training

Bib sorry to hear about the back man. Hope u get feeling better soon! Btw i got the keto strips wednesda. Thx buddy! Andfor the chocolate.. Just what i need!

[Back In Black]

Trained today for the first time in a week (exception of the ill fated leg press set on Thursday). Having to be careful because of my back so will be mostly machines this week and I will use it as a deload week too.

Back still really sore, just needs managing

You told me mate, I replied a couple of posts up.

Good memory on the fence too, that was about 15 months ago and I did it about a year before that too. It's a pain in the ass but I reckon it's going to be an ongoing thing, my lower back being as tight as a ducks arse.

Are you going to run your keto plan then?

I remember the fence too, just checked in and saw you hurt the back again. Glad you are back, hope all is well soon.

^^keto plan.. not sure. (lol) right now i am running a diet i ran back in 2012. it is a 7 day carb cycle but a bit different than the one i was on a couple weeks ago. im also back to doing fasted cardio 6 days per week. i havent done any in like a year. fun fun fun..

man the portions im eating right now are hilarious!. back to 5-6 meals per day.. in any event my progress has slowed to a crawl and ive been trying to pinpoint it. i think the obvious is the culprit, but for some reason i didnt recognize it.

too many calories and too little cardio! and i think i do well with am fasted cardio vs afternoon cardio..

Back improving each day but still not great. Trained today but having a deload week.

Dropped my carbs as a result of not really training but it appears a little too much as I'm down 2lbs to 196 this morning. Gonna run a mini cut for 3.5 weeks up to my holiday. It's only a drop, on average, of about 250cals per day.

[--->>405<<---]

didnt u just come back from 2 holidays??

didnt u just come back from 2 holidays??

what can I say, my Mrs loves going away

A weekend in London count as holiday though We had a week in Greece in May I think. She's paying too

[Back In Black]

Back is feeling a whole load better. Still not risking training legs or lifting weights from the floor but I have had a pretty good workout week, all things considered. Hopefully I can hit it hard again next week.

[Back In Black]

With the exception of Romanian deadlifts I have trained as normal this week. I had to sub in horizontal leg press instead of the 45 degree version for the sake of my back though. Lost a rep or 2 on some exercises but gained a rep or 2 on others.

Weight at 196-197lbs. Holiday in 2 weeks so might lose 2lbs before then.

Hoping for my first Nebido shot next week

Is this only for TRT or can this be used instead of, i.e. 250 test-e 2 times/week?

Thanks

TRT. It's one shot of 1g every 10-12 weeks. Not sure how one would use it to cycle other than pinning 4 or 5g all on day one and then starting a PCT on week 12. That would be 16-20ml worth of injections all in one day though:/

glad to hear that the back is getting better bud

i know it is killing you not to train hard, trust me, i know the feelin

[Back In Black]

195lbs today and noticeably leaner despite it being only a loss of 1lb in 2 weeks. I'm also on the third lower carb day in a row so it's a slightly false reading I guess.

Workouts have been good, back has mostly been good. Only missing one exercise from my regime to rest my back but I will be adding that back in over the weekend.

What's your BF% at 195lbs? Also, remind me - how tall are you?

5'11.5"

I would ballpark me about 12-14% I reckon.

Ah ok, you have me by about 1.5". I have you by about 20lbs, but I'm a fat fvck so as we've established in the past, we're probably very similar in terms of LBM.

That's where the similarity ends, you look way more muscular than me. And I need over 3000cals daily to maintain. (That's not always a good thing. But mostly it is)

[bikeral]

Every time I stop by you are getting blacker. Is that what the "back in black" is all about?

[RaginCajun]

someone say slow metabolism?

[Back In Black]

195lbs again this week though that's after 4 lower carb days.

Mediterranean holiday next week so I am expecting to come back in excess of 200lbs and I can then jump back into a lean bulk for a couple more months or so.

My hotel has a gym that I think is well kitted out with techno gym machines so I should still get some workouts in. I will use it as a slight deload week so I can launch a 4 week HIIT plan when I return.
