I read somewhere that you shouldn’t use milk thistle while on cycle. It supposedly blocks the androgen receptors and limits the effects of the cycle.
I use NAC and TUDCA for liver support.

When I started 5 yrs back, I spent at least a year doing the 5x5 progression program and it worked awesome... Until I just got stuck. My strength kept growing until it didn't. I started messing with it. It became 6x5. Then 8x5. Fast reps. Slow reps. Holds. I added more exercises to each day.

I still write on these sheets every day, every set, every rep, every weight. I have stacks n stacks of them. There is a key in this mess somewhere for me. Somewhere in the food, in the gym, in the AAS, to make this busted old body grow.

When I hit that last set, I put it all out there. My wife won't go to the gym with my anymore. She sees my red face, my bulging veins, my sweat. She says, "you're going to die. I can't watch that"
Young guy at the gym just last week jokingly warned me about how "you're going to pop a vessel man!"

This run is highest tren ever for me. Highest E2 ever. (I always kept it crushed until now)

Genetics. Age. Frustrating for sure

with your cycle your currently doing, I'm guessing it can only help. I like adding Mast to just about everything

[Cowboymike]

Hell yeah brother, crush them gains! Logs are the way to go... plus you’ll always have the ability to scroll back to review what works and what doesn’t... super beneficial! Look forward to following along!

Test Prop 490mg/wk

What do you want your macros to be? They look a little off.
Also, I would go HIIT on cardio and increase the time a little.
Do NOT listen to Cape and Obs. They resent cardio. LOL

Macro planning? Lol! I wish

Dude, I am SO open to suggestions! I eat as clean as I can stand but I'm admittedly weak. I spend all my feeding energy worrying about getting enough protein and eliminating sugars (my weakness) Where my fats n carbs end up is kind of a crap shoot.

I don't do the cardio for any other benefit except to break a sweat, get my heart rate in the 140s, and lube up my screwed up knees n elbows. I do elliptical because of my knees. These knees don't run. HIIT cardio I'd never heard of. Looked it up. Not sure I'm clear on the benefit? I'm kinda thick headed haha! I used to do rowing machine until felt like my heart was gonna explode! Sux! On Tren? Double sux!!!

I need to drop a bunch of fluff I know but I'm not concerned. Yet. Dropping weight during the holidays? Tougher. Maintaining weight? No prob. I'll get serious about the fat come January... Just in time to kick some ass next Most Improved Competition ;-)

I am a sponge tho. Trying to soak up every bit of info. Searching for the missing puzzle pieces that are holding me back. ALL assistance welcome! Thanx!!!

[Old Duffer]

Stayed home last night. Watched movies n researched revamping my exercise regime. Even on a day off I'm studying!

Cals 3275, carbs 26, fat 45, pro 29 (240g)

Something is setting my stomach on fire 1st thing in the morn, after pills n some coffee. Antacid time I guess. Two 'tren coughs' in a row too

[charger69]

What are you looking to do right now? I recommend beginning to dial in your macros.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Old Duffer]

Right now all I want is size. Growth. Don't care how wet it is. I'll deal with that later. The only reason I'm doing tren is my NPP got lost n I got impatient. NOW it has just arrived. Been on tren-a about a month now. As much crap as I'm having with it (stomach n anxiety) I'm just gonna dump the Tren n add the NPP.

Took wifee to Chinese for lunch. Nice plate of beef broccoli n hot tea. I get just a couple forks into it n we gotta leave. Stomach upset. Anxiety sensation. Suddenly really hot. Back home. Dammit. Pissing
me right da fvck off

I'll read up more on macros n its relationship to goals.

If you want size, I would probably go f/p/c around 15/40/45 (%). Each person is different. Because of my carb sensitivity, I lower carbs and up protein.
I have been noting you are taking in quite a bit of fat. Try it, allow time for your body to adjust and then adjust as needed.

I noticed you said "handful of useless shit"

Well, I to take a handful of useless shit in the morning too, as soon as they get in my gut, I get this hot feeling in my stomach and back of throat.

I narrowed it down to the herbal green tea thing I take with all kinds of "hyper" herbs and shit.

I found splitting the "harsh" vitamins up till after breakfast took hotness away.

But you're also on 900mg Tren, so I dunno.

Yup! Time to tighten up this ship. Headed to the store now as a matter of fact. Wifee is well intentioned but I gotta take charge

Thanx Charger! You don't know how much I appreciate the assistance. No homo. Ok, maybe a little

When you want to cut, I up the protein and lower the carbs. Once again, I am sensitive to carbs and a small change can have big results.
Also, I recommend HIIT for cardio. High Intensity Interval Training- we used to call it fartlic training. Run about 90% for 30 sec and then walk for 30 sec (or 1 minute). Work up until it is about 50/50 (same amount of time).
I find the treadmill is best for this. You get about the same amount of cardio as running in twice the time.
You can do this on a bike or even the stair walker also.
There have been studies that HIIT results in a longer calorie burn time than normal running.
I like it because I do not need to spend so much time doing cardio.
Swimming is also great cardio.

Been back from da gym half an hour. Heart still hurts! Lol

One of the many changes to my slacking is intensity. I have not tweaked my exercises yet. I still think I'm overdoing each muscle group per session. Meaning too many similar exercises per session. Anyway 1st tweak is try to truly max each exercise by 3rd set, quick breather, drop weight, max again, breather, drop wt, max again. I don't have a partner so some pre planning is required. By time I finished I was on my knees, Damn near fetal. I still feel like crap. It's awesome! Lol
