Get Shredded!
Just finished up another PT appointment this morning. I cleared to progress in kneeling push ups and some very light dumbbell pec work. Currently I'm still hitting the gym 3-4 days per week while still in a fat loss phase. I'm hoping to get back to a regimented schedule after our child is born. For now I'm going by feel and keeping my gym time 90 minutes or lower. Everything is going to be brand new soon, training differently to avoid injury, finding time with a family to train and doing more around the house while my wife recovers from giving birth. Currently I'm still sticking with my 200 mg of test e weekly from PSL. Plan to get some bloodwork done in January to see where I'm at and go from there.

Well with the holidays I haven't checked in as much. Currently I'm getting 3 days of lifting and 3 days of cardio in. I'm not losing weight like I want but things are still varying. This weekend we have a scheduled csection because my daughter is too big for natural delivery lol. So I'm taking 2 weeks off to help my wife recover and help with my daughter. So that's going to throw even more chaos into getting things consistent with my training and nutrition. My end goal for bodybuilding as a new dad for now is 3-4 days training, 3-4 morning cardio sessions and how ever much activity I can get in. However the new baby will be the deciding factor on all of that. Currently I'm still using 200 mg weekly of test e. Planning on getting blood work done after the first of the year as well.

Its been awhile since my last update. Life has been very busy with a newborn. The gym has been very spotty as you can expect. I've been averaging about 2 days a week. I'm hoping over the next month or so to get that average up to 3 days a week. I am however consistent with my trt dose. I'm still taking 200 mg of test e weekly from PSL. Even with an off training schedule and reduction of the consistency I was use to I still believe I'm holding good size and strength. I've also moved to full pushups in my pec recovery. On push days I know try to get as little rest as possible in between sets and really focus on feeling the muscle while very slowly increasing weight. Chest training will never be the same but I'll find my way through it.

Things are still pretty inconsistent right now. Honestly not sure when they will get back some degree of what it was before my kid. I know my body composition is not in a favorable place right now. I am hoping once she hits the 6 month mark and starts to sleep longer I can incorporate some morning cardio. Right now I'm still getting the 2-3 days per week in the gym with 15-20 minutes of cardio after. I also tried some giant sets for pecs this week. I definitely got some doms that I haven't had seen before surgery. Still unclear of what I'll be able to maintain in my chest but every other muscle group is climbing in weight lifted. I'm planning on blood work in March to see if anything about my current trt and anti e protocol needs to change. I'm still taking 200 mg of test e weekly from PSL.

That's a tough one since I know a lot about some like hulk and iron man but not as much about vision and such.

I'd say based on what I know:

1 Captain Marvel - marvel's version of superman so really over powered
2 Hulk - power only limited by anger (not including Bruce in this)
3 Thor
The rest are mortal from what I understand so:
4 Vision
5 Iron man
6 Scarlett witch
7 Doctor strange
8 Black Panther

Been awhile since I I updated the log. There hasn't been too much going on with Covid shutting everything down. I've only been able to get in a few home workouts with body weight and bands. I dropped my dosage down to 150 mgs weekly of PSL test e. I even purchased blood work before all this started so who knows when I'll be able to use it. I'm definitely looking forward to getting back in the gym, new motivation for sure.

Nice to hear from you brother. I hear you things suck right now for people like us. When they shut down my gym I handled it like a true bitch. Got all depressed and used it as an excuse to mope around all day and be miserable. I mean training is the one thing that defines me. It's how I start my day, it's my cup of coffee. If I can't workout first thing in the morning my entire day is shot. I don't get that endorphin rush to set my mood for the day and put me in a productive, energized state.

So I did what any sensible person would do in a state of despair and desperation......I blew $2k on home gym equipment :). You'd be surprised how little $2k gets you, especially when everyone is taking advantage of the situation and price gouging. You wouldn't believe how difficult it was to find ANYTHING online or in-store. EVERYTHING was sold out EVERYWHERE. I literally sat and stalked Facebook marketplace and Craigslist and hit the refresh button once or twice an hour. If you saw something you wanted you'd better contact the person immediately because things were selling withing minutes/hours of being posted. I managed to find a guy who can get me anything I need. I have no idea where he gets it from nor do I care but he hooked me up with several sets of dumbells, over 200 lbs in plates, two benches (one adjustable, one flat with a barbell rack for benching), barbells, ez bars, tricep bar, elliptical, etc. Now I feel like I get a better workout at home than at the actual gym. Plus I can blast my shitty death metal and workout with no shirt on and flex in the mirror without judgement. I miss the women though :/.

A good idea would be to post up online what your looking for, as far as weights and exercise equipment locally in your area and to contact you on your phone. They have websites that are based on your city/zip code(even neighborhoods) for lawn mowers, guys that repair iPhones, just about anything. I was surprised at all the stuff people were offering. It called Next Door App. (It concentrates on your exact area)

No kidding that sounds pretty cool. I wish I knew about this a month ago lol. I'm actually all set now I have a pretty good setup. I'd say it was worth the investment.
 
This week has been a lot of the same. I've gotten more at home workouts but body weight can only do so much. I have been day dreaming about the gym. Once I can get back I've decided to focus must of my future quad work on front squats, Bulgarian split squats, leg press and some leg extensions. If I can get brutally strong with these I think I can add some size to my legs. I feel my legs haven't really grown in years since I've been focusing so much on growing the upper half. Once we get back I want it all to grow while also avoiding exercises that aggravate my knee. However the first goal is to get under 250 lbs. Currently still running 150 mg of test e weekly.

To everyone that commented, thank you for checking or even thinking about me. We are a bunch of pumped up meatheads but I'm glad people enjoy my log. I was just hitting my stride on rehabbing my pec and getting in some consistent days. This quarantine has only upped my motivation. Honestly I lost a bit after my injury but now I'm slowly plotting my hopeful return to competition.

I wish I had the money or space for a home gym. I work out alone anyway. That's awesome for those that have built some good home gyms, I envy you.

Everyone stay strong, stay safe and remember Carol Baskins murdered her husband lol.

So gym life continues to be at a standstill. The motivation to do another band workout is unappealing. Honestly I believe a gym with plexiglass separating cardio equipment would be cleaner than grocery stores. Wipe all equipment and weights down before after you use it and just like you allow people room to lift keep that same distance as much as possible. Workout partners are only liable to each and pose no greater risk to others. I don't get it. I know once they open up I'm working out as much as possible. Goal is to get below 250, see what my conditioning looks like and decide from there cut more or try to add some muscle. Currently still running 150 mg of test weekly from PSL along with PSL nolvadex on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.

I finally got a real workout in last weekend. I had to drive an hour each way but it felt great. We are still waiting for gyms to open in my city but I drove up North to a bb focus gym that got a variance from there city. Things are still far from normal but for a few hours I felt really good. Working out in a mask wasn't enjoyable but I'll do it. Planning another trip next weekend and keep hoping things start to open up safely. Currently still on my 150 mg of test e weekly from PSL with PSL nolvadex 3 times a week. Also order bloodwork before the pandemic so plan on finally getting my blood draw soon. Then I'll have a very good look at where my body is health wise using a trt dose for the last few months. Once I can lift regularly again and I've done my blood draw I plan on increasing to 250 or 300 weekly while I cut.

Attached our my latest blood test numbers. Since the pandemic shut gyms down I decided to go to the lowest dose I've ever used. I ran 150 mg of PSL test e weekly for 12 weeks. I also took 20 mg of PSL tamoxifen 3 times a week.

So I've concluded I need to increase tamoxifen or switch to a stronger AI even on HRT since my estradiol is 79.5 and above the normal range. Testosterone total is 861 which is at the top range for normal which is exactly where I wanted to be and more proof PSL sells quality and accurately dosed gear. Everything else was within range or very close. I'm happy with this off time and now I've jumped up to 300 mg test e weekly and plan to increase as I want to get better conditioning then decide the plan for bulking and starting another comeback prep.Screenshot_20200624-084025_Drive.jpg

On TRT amounts, your e2 is very high(cycle high. Definitely just take your time and lower so you don’t dump it. Everone has their own idea of what is normal. On TRT , the normal range on lab is what you want . Get it . Thanks for posting yet again Marvel. 553 post now? Eh

Received another touchdown from PSL. I've decided to up my dosage a bit. I'm leaving room to move up or down and only using testosterone. Currently I'm taking 400 mg weekly. I pin twice a week with each shot being 150 mg test e and 50 mg test prop. I stole this idea from Ken Hill. The theory is that the test prop helps with intial test increase and the test e creates a gradual incline in blood levels behind it. The current plan is to get below 240 then make a decision about what's next. I finally dropped some weight this last week. I dropped 2.6 lbs with 4 days of morning cardio and 4 days of lifting. Strength is definitely going up. I feel I'm deconditioned enough that I can drop body fat while getting stronger and maybe even add a little muscle. I know I'm not a genetic freak but with going so low on HRT and weeks of no hard training should generate some rebound effect with my current plan. I'd love to get to 5 days training but currently with my infant daughter that probably isn't a possibility for now. However going to push as hard as possible those 4 days.

Things have been going well, I'm down to 247 lbs. I'm thinking now though I'll probably have to be in the mid 230s or lower to have the right leanness to start adding some muscle. Of course that could change. Currently I'm consistently training 4 days a week and 4 morning cardio sessions a week as well. Hitting PRs on certain exercises while getting back to some of the same poundages from pre injury. As I expected learning to train my chest is the biggest hurdle currently. Each week I get a little more secure in what it can handle. Currently still running 400 mg of test a week. I don't see any need to increase till either fat loss stalls, strength stalls or it's time to try to add muscle more aggressively.

Not much to update. Things are moving slowly. I'm down to 247 but I'm thinking I'll need to be mid 230s before I can even think about trying to add muscle. Lifting numbers are still going up and I hit a new PR this week on the Magnum plate row. However I know while in a deficit I'm not adding muscle. I can definitely see more striations in my shoulders and legs. I'm also get more veins popping out so beyond just body weight I'm getting other signs that I'm making progress. I did bump up this week to 500 mg total of PSL testosterone. Currently doing 4 days of morning cardio and 4 days of lifting with cardio after.

Nothing big to report on. Down to a new low at 241 lbs with vascularity returning and getting more visible abs. I'm thinking mid to low 230s before i can start a mass gaining phase with my nutrition. My lifting won't change but adding in a surplus of calories and i should be able to add muscle. Currently using 500 mg of test weekly from PSL. Which is 100 mg of test p and 400 test e split evenly between two injections.

Currently I have changed my training by adding in more volume on my delts. I've decided that since my chest won't be a strong body part moving forward bigger shoulders could help my front and side poses. I've gotten decent delt growth but definitely not where I want them to be at.

Things have been going well. I'm down to 238 lbs. I think once I get to low 230s or high 220s I'll be ready to transition to a lean bulk. While I do enjoy that all my numbers are going up without plateuing yet and getting more vascular I definitely day dream about bumping up the food and adding muscle. Then again who doesn't love adding muscle. Currently I'm using 500 mg of test e weekly from PSL. I imagine I'll stay with this dosing for the next couple weeks till I hit my desired weight. Then I've decided once I switch to mass gaining I'll add in just 1 ml of EQ weekly and add some carbs to all lifting days. I'm going to keep things fluid right now. I think this is the best way to handle the current situation where gyms or normal way of life can change any moment due to covid. Lastly I'm training 4 days a week (push, pull, legs, pull) and doing 5 morning cardio sessions of 35 minutes each.

Everything has been progressing well. My weight hovers between 238 and 240 but I have visible abs and hamstring detail. I've decided to take 2 more weeks of cutting then transition into a lean bulk. My first 2 moves aren't major but should be a nice transition. I'm going to drop 1 of my after workout cardio sessions leaving on 2 HIIT sessions after lifting. Second I'm going to add 1 ml per week of EQ to the mix. Morning cardio and nutrition will stay the same. I'll wait 2 weeks at least then decide what the next change should be. Currently still running 500 mg weekly of PSL testosterone E.

I'm very excited for the close of this week. I'm ending my cut and transitioning to a lean bulk. I won't make it below mid 230s but I can see my abs and I'm happy with my current level of conditioning. So initially I'm going to add in 1 ml of EQ to my current 500 mg test e weekly bringing me up to 750 mg weekly of total gear. I'm going to continue with my 5 morning cardio sessions but I'm moving down to just 2 HIIT sessions of cardio after lifting. I'll stick with my current 4 days of lifting with the same volume. Those are the only changes for the first 2 weeks. I'll have to analyze how my body changes from those and decide on new changes. My goal is to add as much muscle as possible without losing my current conditioning.

I'm now on my 3rd week of my lean bulk. I've put on about 5 lbs but I know its water weight. I have gotten a little leaner since I've started. I've made some dietary adjustments as well. I've add at minimum a 1 scoop protein shake each day but I usually do a 2 scoop shake. My goal is to make sure I hit my protein mark then I fill in my carbs and fat based on training day, rest day and what my day looks like. Working from home and taking care of my daughter sometimes doesn't equal out to eating evey 2-3 hours. However I'm at the point in my life where I have to make bodybuilding fit my life not the other way around. I still dream of adding boat loads of muscle this bulk. My training is going very well almost every exercise is progressing, I'm still lean 3 weeks in and no pain or injuries. Now its all about nutrition and getting what my body needs to build the muscle.

That is a good place to be as far as your outloook! Water weight equals increased strength; which in turn helps you yield LBM and maturity each successful run! Keep on with it!

It's been some time since my last update. With holidays and the pandemic things are moving fast. I'm currently weighing 241 lbs at most likely 10-11% body fat. With new covid lock downs training has become a bit harder with 1 hour limits. Although I have found a strategy that works to get in a little extra time. I usually show up errands ask if the current hour is full, if not they usually let me start early. Then I try to sneak in another 10-15 mind after my hour. This has still caused me to drop some volume from my workouts and I have to time my rest periods. Just like most I generally don't prefer change, however if I continue to get good results I may keep these shorter workouts. I always think of the qoute "You can train long or you can train intense but you can't do both". Maybe it's time I train more intense and save some more time for my family. The biggest obstacle I have right now is nutrition and that's getting in enough calories. I know one of the reasons why I'm staying lean is because I'm probably not eating enough. With working from home and taking care of my daughter during the day some days are good some days are terrible. The days with lots of meetings and her schedule being off can lead to missed meals. However I'm doing my best to meet my protein requirements at least. I can always add in a protein shake. I've also paused morning cardio until we can get a better sleep schedule for my daughter. On the gear side I just had another touchdown from PSL. Going to include a pic hopefully, always seem to have trouble with those. I'm currently running 500 mg test e weekly and 300 mg eq weekly. 20201203_102643.jpg
