I am going to rotate the nautilus glute drive with deadlifts every workout and try to progress in both over the months. I have to be careful with lower back loading so following this system will be best for me. I will be training PULL every 3 days so all main movements will be hit every week. I really like the Nautilus impact equipment and the leverage machines feel really heavy and I will be focusing on them in the foreseeable future.

Good to hear from you man! Still on HGH as well?

I used Oxytropin HGH recently and it is great HGH. I stopped and restarted but was using it at 1/2 vial (5iu) EOD and that protocol suits me best. When I dose HGH daily I get too tired. I still struggle with EOD dosing but it's nowhere as bad even compared to the same total dose when done daily (2.5iu ED). I have rotated over to Genotrope and will be doing the same thing so 1/2 vial (5iu) EOD.

@luki7788 got me on this GH, very good stuff. I found it identical to serostim.

What were you using the TB and BPC for? What specific injuries? And how did you dose?

As I mentioned in other thread, I’m having knee issues.

I might be better telling you what body parts I am not using it for I started getting lower back issues again. I always have them but it actually seized up last month and I couldn't move for a few days. That's because I smith squatted and even though I only went up to 30kg per side and used perfect form and didn't go anywhere near failure it caused my back to seize up. It felt great in the gym and even the next day but the following day I woke up and couldn't move. It's connected but I get left hip pain as well. I have to crack my left hip pretty much daily and it stops my back from tightening up. Strangely after my last PUSH workout I couldn't lift my left arm up so it's helped with that as well. I knew it was a temporary issue and it's back to normal now. Lifting heavy weights and pushing my body is definitely starting to catch up to me though. It's mainly my left hip and lower back I have issues with.

The combo has actually worked well so I will have to buy more because it (and hgh) also got rid of my bi-cep tendon issue. Like with all my drugs I haven't been as consistent as I could have been but as I have only used them over the last month I have been much better. It's not exact but basically 2.5mg TB-500 twice weekly. I did say to myself 100mg BPC-157 twice daily but it's just been once daily. Sometimes I dose closer to 200mcg because it's only once. I I had to give you a protocol it would 2.5mg TB-500 every 3 days and 100mcg BPC-157 twice daily. After time you could move down in dose to 1.25mg every 3 days and 100mcg once daily. I don't know your exact issues but it should really help with your knees. Obviously you will have to also modify your training which I know you are doing. On top of that you could use knee sleeves/wraps and maybe some diclofenac/ibuprofen gel for the localized inflammation.

raw pina or canned???

I pretty much eat raw 90% of the time for the bromelain content and also the taste. So I will cook my rice and afterwards just throw the fresh pineapple on top. If I am going to cook with the pineapple it doesn't really matter but I still prefer fresh pineapple but I have used tinned in the past.

 

[Elvia1023]

@luki7788 got me on this GH, very good stuff. I found it identical to serostim.

Yes it is great HGH. It feels very clean to me. By clean I mean pure and without loads of fillers. Obviously all HGH will cause water retention but if I take 5iu of some brands I hold a shitload of water. I am super sensitive to HGH. I remember using 1iu Riptropin (1st ever time) and putting on 10 pounds of water in a couple of days. I definitely wouldn't mind 10 pounds of water right now but not the headaches that come with it

i adhere to the same philosophy brother

Things are going good. Let's forget not being able to lift my left arm after my last push day. That was just a one off and my fault. I was using a seated shoulder press and my left shoulder felt off but I carried on. I won't do that again but I knew it would be back to normal within a short time. The 2.5mg TB-500 and 200mcg BPC-157 I put in it that night probably helped as well.

I will keep this brief as it's very late and I am going to bed. 3 meals were lean beef mince and jasmine rice today. My breakfast was 5 whole eggs, 3 pieces of toast with butter and blueberries. I ended the night with a protein yoghurt and giant bowl of protein weetabix. I am going to stop having that cereal because I bloat badly from it. Tomorrow night it will probably be replaced with beef mince, rice and avocado. I used to have 1 avocado everyday but I haven't been eating them recently so I will bring them back in.

I took 20mg sdrol and 10mg MK-677 2 days ago and yesterday I had the energy of a snail. As a result just 10mg sdrol today and definitely no MK-677. I was just adding it in because of the sdrol but it's not needed and in addition to the HGH just completely destroys my energy levels.

The plan for tomorrow is a 1 hour walk with Flex in the sun. A high rep leg workout with sled pushes and lot's of beef, rice and fruit.

 

[Elvia1023]

It's about time I start updating this again. I was going to start a new thread but I will do that for the New Year when I turn 40. I will go over what I have been going through and I am 95% sure it was caused by the statin but things are confusing. Looking back I mentioned it but I basically started experiencing joint pain all over my body. My hips were the worst and the pain remained there long after disappearing from everywhere else. I had severe pain in my right hip for about 6 weeks then suddenly 1 day I woke up and it was gone and my left hip was in the same pain. About 4 weeks later it swopped again and since it has started changing almost daily from each hip and my lower back. If it's in my hip it's really bad but I can walk and walking even helps. If it's my lower back I can barely move and walking is impossible.

I came off everything for a short time and even took away all supplements and had some off time but now I am back on everything and trying to get on with things. Some days I can barely move and in a lot of pain and 1 hour later I am in the gym training hard. It's very up/down and whilst I do push things when I probably shouldn't if I don't train for an extended time the pain can get worse. I have physio and I will get an MRI scan so I can see what the damage is. It has to be my lower back and the nerves are causing hip pain because of the way it jumps from each side and goes from severe to zero pain.

For approx 1 month my calories were fairly low and all my food was clean but I was averaging 100-150g protein so that needed to be increased. Considering everything I maintained fairly well. Now I have increased everything and my diet is very good and I will be making more changes/improvements. My goal now is to just sharpen up for my holiday and lose a little bodyfat and look and feel good.

Nutrition now will be mainly beef and greens/veg twice daily. Pre and post chicken, rice and fruit. Morning is a shake with a variety of fruit, synthepure and some oats. Basically lot's of meat and berries and around training some rice etc. I started insulin today and just 6iu pre workout and my approach with that is very simple. 5 mins after I eat a banana and drink my preworkout with 1 scoops of EAA's and 25g carbs added. Intra is 2 scoops of EAA's and 50g carbs and 10g glutamine. I will probably add in some slin post workout and that will be a standard dose before my post workout meal of meat, rice and pineapple or honey.

Supplements are very basic and include a heart formula, joint formula and some liquid fish oil.

Training has been really good. Push, pull, legs and just having fun but obviously working around my injury. Usually very basic and standard sets but some days because volume has been on the lower side for me I have been finishing many body parts with a drop set. I have actually been doing some lower rep stuff as well which is more risky but fun at times. Things like failing on 3-5 reps with very heavy presses. I am changing that now simply to avoid injury because I go away soon and I have been lifting heavy for a couple of months and feel like a change. I will still lift heavy but for the next few weeks it's going to be a lot of super sets and pumping up my muscles as hard as possible.

Gear is test and mast and tren. I have had issues with tren in the past as many know so I was actually expecting them this time but weirdly I have been fine. It's actually making me feel better. I feel like a machine in the gym. I started at 10mg per day and gradually moved up to 20mg and stayed there for a few days then bumped it up to 25mg and now I am at 30mg and feel fine. I will probably keep it at this dose but I may up more as I only have 2 weeks left. I want to come off tren before I go just incase because of the issues I have had in the past (confined spaces can trigger things so travelling on a plane etc).

For the test and mast I wanted to take more but I had to play about with the dose and ratio. I have found a perfect fit and I feel great on this dose so I don't want to change it. I settled on 1ml test so 300mg because I am now using test e. I gradually upped the mast and I was feeling off when I got to 0.8-0.9ml so I have settled at 0.7ml (140mg). I am dosing that combo every 3 days. I was going to do it EOD but again just going on everything I settled with every 3 days. So it's 300mg test and 210mg mast every 3 days with 30mg tren daily. Not exactly big doses but all I need right now is to look and feel good so that is plenty. I am using no AI on this cycle. I am tempted to add in an oral for 2 weeks so I might do that but I will be drinking daily on holiday so I have tried to avoid anything overly toxic in recent times. Maybe I will add 40mg avar or 50mg winny. Below is what I done today and I will continue on this path moving forward.

Synthepure, apple, blueberries, cherries, kale, spinach, oats and almond milk.
5% beef mince, mixed peppers, onions and green beans.
Chicken breast, jasmine rice and 2 whole eggs.
6IU Humalog, 30mg tren a, 2.5ml synthetine, 1.5ml syntheselen and 1 banana.
1 scoop of Total War, 1 scoop of EAA's and 25g Dextrose.
INTRA (2 scoops of EAA's, 50g Dextrose and 10g glutamine).
Chicken breast, jasmine rice and pineapple.
Sirloin steak, raspberries and 1 spoon of peanut butter.

This diet is perfect for me and the added fruits always increase my well being. I will stick with this plan and just increase my activity levels over the next few weeks. If needed I will add in some low days which will basically consist of beef, berries and greens. I do those to really bring in my waist but that is happening anyway because of the lower calories/carbs. Nothing needs to be extreme because I just want to look and feel good but you know how it is and we always want more. Whenever I want my waist to come in as much as possible food volume can be extremely important so I may have some very restrictive days to finish this diet.

I am looking fairly lean now it's just been a nightmare with my hips and it's starting to get to me but I know I will find a solution soon. I should add funds have been limited and if they weren't I would have just booked an MRI ages ago and had loads of massage work and adjustments but that hasn't been an option. I will get pics done soon. I was never gone but it feels good to be back

A very interesting update. As I posted last I have had severe hip pain for the last few months. When it first happened I thought HGH may have contributed because it has caused me joint pain in the past so I stopped it. I was confident it was due to the statin but I just stopped both to be sure as I had been using both the prior few months. I have always posted I thought HGH can be amazing for many but for me it didn't really do a great deal. On top of that I am very sensitive to HGH's side effects so I have never been a massive fan of it so wasn't bothered about using it every again.

Anyway I have been in that much pain recently I figured shall I add it in to see if it helps. I figured it should only help my hips due to what I was feeling and my logic was it couldn't really get much worse. So the other night I decided to add in 3IU HGH pre bed and it's crazy because within 2 days my hip pain is literally nearly gone. My lower back still isn't great but a big difference overall so I am happy. I was probably a little too happy because I overdone things in the gym yesterday but with the fact I was not in pain and I had taken 2 scoops of preworkout you can forgive me for getting a little too excited My last 2 training sessions...

Horizontal Leg Press Calf Presses supersetted with Standing Calf Raises... 3 working sets.
Seated Calf Raises... 2 working sets.
Hip Abductors... 3 pump sets.
Hip Adductors... 1 working drop set.
Seated Leg Curls... 1 working drop set with 2 drops in weight.
Nautilus Glute Drive... 2 working sets of 15 reps with static hold (as long as possible) to finish.
Leg Press... 3 working sets.
Leg Extensions... 2 working sets.
Stretches.

Most movements were heavy but others were all about connection and getting as good a pump as possible. I have had to modify my leg training due to my recent hip and lower back issues but I find this way of training superior anyway. I only had 5PPS on the leg press but my muscles felt every part of the movement and I kept all the tension on my quads and away from my joints. They felt so pumped and my knees felt great. My calves have been killing me since though and I can barely walk today. For abductors I just keep the weight in the middle because of my hip issues and there is no need to push things. I took humalog pre workout and that really helped the pump and my legs felt like they doubled in size whilst training. The next day was PUSH and no slin for that.

Warm Up with DB's.
DB Chest Press... 1 working set.
Pec Deck... 1 working drop set with 3 drops in weight.
Smith Incline Press supersetted with Barbell Front Raises... 2 working sets.
DB Lateral Raises... 2 working sets.
Tri-cep Pushdowns... 2 working sets.
Machine Tri-cep Extensions... 1 working set.
Incline Bench DB Tri-cep Extensions... 1 working set.
Stretches.

I had a day off today because my body definitely needed it. I also feel tired from the HGH which is only dosed at 3iu. Well I have black tops and count them as 15IU and inject 1/5th of a vial so it's about that. I only had about 5 vials left so I picked them because the box was open but also because they fill you with so much water and I thought that should help. The problem is even at 3IU I get headaches from them (never get headaches ever). I have a kit of Endogenic Oxytropin I will be using next and they are much more user friendly for me.

Tomorrow will be PULL and I will likely stick to chest supported movements. I have been going really heavy recently but I will probably change my approach for the next 2 weeks which will be more moderate (still heavy) weight but increased effective reps in a short time period (supersetting movements and cluster sets etc).

Glad you were able to figure out the hip pain. I feel you on those headaches, I feel like everything makes my head explode

 

[Elvia1023]

I try to stay hydrated so don't usually get headaches but whenever I first use certain brands of HGH I always get them. It's obviously the surge in water retention and bp but weirdly I don't get the same with MK-677 and that does all of that too. I haven't really give it much thought because I know it's a common side effect of HGH and anything that adds water retention (plus increases heart rate and bp) might give you headaches. I know they also use mannitol (perhaps fairly high amounts) and that is also known to cause headaches in some so that could be a factor as well. It's nothing major and my body usually adapts within 1 week but it's a noticeable side effect that first week.

Maybe you have something going on that is causing your headaches if they are very regular so it's worth checking out. You could just be really stressed and overdoing things. Another thing that can give me headaches is tadalafil/cialis so that's worth mentioning as many use PDE5 inhibitors and they cause cGMP accumulation and that sudden widening of blood vessels can cause an increase in blood flow that can bring about headaches. I would recommend adding in some sea salt into a large bottle of water and drinking that daily (if you aren't already) and that should help the headaches.

 

[K1]

E, not sure if you mentioned it but how much do you weigh right now...You're tall, over 6' right?!

 

[Elvia1023]

E, not sure if you mentioned it but how much do you weigh right now...You're tall, over 6' right?!

I don't even know. I don't like weighing myself when I am dieting because it can play on my mind and I prefer just aiming for a look. I have purposely been eating less calories so I have definitely lost weight and probably quite a lot. When I was more bulked up I was 265 and when I posted pics last time and was much leaner I think I was about 255. I am 6ft 2.

 

[Elvia1023]

The addition of HGH has really helped my hips. It's a night and day difference but I will still be going to physio and doing anything else I can to get fixed. I am only using HGH for that reason so I have been dosing it at 3IU EOD. Even at that dose I notice I am really tired especially the day of dosing (I dose it prebed). I plan to stay on that dose and as I have posted many times I get a lot of side effects from HGH so prefer keeping it low and EOD just to help with my injuries.

The other day I trained legs and because of my back/hips I done an unusual workout but it was great. I usually do the same sort of split but this is was just something a bit different going on what my body was telling me. It was basically 7 working sets of calf raises, 7 working sets of lying leg curls and 7 working sets of leg extensions. Everything was great and I finished the workout with sled pushes. In my head I figured not super heavy like usual and more cardio based but still decent weight to get everything firing. Some guy left about 120kg on there so I figured that was ideal so I sprinted with that up and down 3 times. I was destroyed and I rested and repeated.

My legs were super pumped and it felt great but on the 2nd go I done it and when I finished I was so out of breath I had a fucking panic attack in the gym. So annoying and there was nothing I could do just wait for my breath to come back. Many people think they can't breathe during a panic attack but mine was created because I was so out of breath. It's like my mind just freaks out and I can't take anything because I knew it was happening solely due to my breathing so I was a bit of a mess and I just had to wait and after 5 mins I was fine again. I have felt great this time on tren but this is the first time I have been so out of breath but still I haven't injected tren since that day. I was going to stop it about 5 days after anyway so nothing major. I have felt great since and I will just be careful with getting too out of breath for the next few weeks.

I have been using 200mg dnp daily this week and tonight will be my last dose. It's really helped bring my waist in and I have been feeling heat in the night from that dose. I always sweat a lot during training from synthetine/syntheselen/preworkout so I haven't really noticed any difference at that time. Every time I go the gym it looks like I have showered in my clothes dnp or not On top of that my usual 300mg test e and 210mg mast e every 3 days. Because I had to stop tren early I added in 40mg avar preworkout just to give me a boost. Nothing exciting but it's enough for what I need.

I have been using 20mg accutane as well but I have just stopped that as well because I go on holiday soon and I will be partying a lot so I don't want to be on that and my course was nearly over anyway so I figured just stop it 2 weeks early. I started using melanotan 2 but I have been terrible with the dosing and started it too late but I will dose it daily until I go. I am really pale now and the accutane makes your skin really sensitive to sunlight so it will help in that regard. I will probably just take it over with me because I started it too late.

The rest of my training has been the usual and really pushing the weight. Although this week I incorporated more supersets and it's felt really good. I just got back from training legs and definitely no sled pushes today

Hip Adductors and Hip Abductors... 3 easy sets of each to warm things up.
Standing Calf Raises... 2 working sets.
Seated Calf Raises... 2 working drop sets. Crazy drop sets with the last having my mate push down as hard as possible on the negative stretch. I told him to try and hurt me but he gave out before I did
Seated Leg Curls... 3 working sets with the full weight rack with 20 secs rest between each.
Leg Press... 4 working sets (different foot positions).
Leg Extensions... 3 working sets with the full weight rack with 20 secs rest between each.
Ab Rope Crunches... 3 working sets.
Lying Leg Raises... 1 working set.
Reverse Crunches... 1 working set.
Stretches.

I will start shaving my body tomorrow and get some updated pics done in the next few days.

 

[jaxino]

@Elvia1023 Sorry for the question but accutane what does to your body? I have never used it and I am curious.

Love that leg workout, very simple and effective.

Do you track your steps?
How much cardio are you doing right now?

 

[bigzzz]

Are all your working sets do failure? Do you always train to complete failure?

Good to hear your hips are better!

 

[marssel]

Title says it all. I changed my mind and figured I am not getting any younger so if I want to push the size it's time to do it. So I will detail everything I do along the way and if you're interested please follow the thread. I hope to put on a lot of size over the foreseeable future.

Training is all about the basics and progressive overload. I aim to get stronger in all lifts. Although there will be no loading on my lower back as I 100% will get injured. For everything else I will push it to the complete max in the 6-15 rep range (plus intensity techniques).

I will follow a push, pull and legs split. Simply because I want to cover my whole body in a 3 day rotation. Therefore if training 5 days per week I can train everything twice over 8 days. The split isn't really important but the volume, frequency and intensity are. Although PPL suits me well as I am relatively balanced so just hope to put on size all over. In the far future I may swop over to a more specialized routine but for now this is perfect for me. Generally I will do 2-3 exercises for each bodypart and 1-2 working sets. I warm up slowly but go through each exercise fairly quickly so the volume will be fairly low (for me) most days. Below are some of my thoughts and goals for each training day...

Progressive overload in all movements.

PUSH- Very heavy pressing will be fundamental. Strong focus on medial delts as front will be covered with pressing movements. Dips, skull crushers, close grip bench and extensions for tri-ceps. Occasional intensity techniques such as dead stops, rest pauses and drop sets.

PULL- Lot's of unilateral back movements as I feel I respond best to them. Heavy rowing will be fundamental. Lat's will be a main focus. I will start most workouts with rear delts.

LEGS- As deep as possible leg press. Although I like to do 1 working set as deep as possible and another with my feet closer together with a shorter rom. Go crazy on select squat machines (lower back). Unilateral leg curls and extensions. Static holds, partials and drop sets will be occasionally used. For some movements I like to do one heavy movement then a drop off set for higher reps. Rest pauses will be utilized alot for my heavy leg press sets. Meaning pick a weight you can get for approx 12 reps and rest pause until you get to 20, 25 or 30 etc. For my final calf working set it's usually a drop or super set. Cardio approx 5 days per week for no more than 20 mins. I have been doing a lot of cardio on my tiptoes recently and the improvements I have made have been great.


Nutrition will be basic. Protein mainly steak, beef mince and chicken. Carbs mainly rice, pasta and fruit. Fats mainly avocado, mixed nuts and various oils. I do rotate food sources but the above will be my main sources. Most meals will be meat with rice and vegetables. I also like 0% fat quark and with that I mix eaa's (berry flavour for example), lemon juice, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. I also will have some oats occasionally and with that I mix whey (chocolate and peanut flavour for example), banana and coconut milk. I will also utilize cereal post workout some days as well and I usually have coconut milk with that.

Nothing is set in stone but just a lot of quality nutrition spread throughout the day. I will increase calories as I continue to grow. Generally I like to have mainly protein and fats for my first and last meals and protein and carbs for my 2 post workout meals. All other meals are usually a combination of all 3 macros.

I will also utilize some powders if I need to. I have a few whey and beef isolate powders. For carbs sweet potatoe and activated barley powder. Although in the last 2 weeks I have had 2 shakes (not counting eaa's) to give a reference so it's mainly whole foods. Although when I start pushing the calories more they will become very useful. I have various EAA powders which I always drink between some meals anyway. I use them mainly for taste so it's easy to keep my fluid intake high. Now I always have an intra shake and that won't change. At the moment I am using 6 scoops of Yamamoto Nutrition's Energan Intra (40g HBCD's, 15g EAA's, 8g l-citrulline etc).


Gear won't be crazy simply due to side effects. I think I grow better on lower (moderate) doses as my digestion and appetite are not negatively effected. I started my blast nearly 2 weeks ago so things are building up nicely. I always kickstart with an oral but decided not to this time mainly due to cholesterol. Although I will add one in later so it's a mute point really. I will probably go with tbol when I do at 40-60mg. Right now I am running...

500mg Test C
300mg Deca

I plan to up the deca to about 400mg soon. I will also add in 200mg mast e as well. After about 8 weeks into this cycle I will swop the test and deca over to similar doses of sust and npp (keep mast in). At the moment I inject 2 days weekly and on those days I just take 1 aromasin (25mg) and 1 Nolvadex tab (20mg). Just very simple and minimal injections for now.

Now I will add in insulin and hgh into the mix. I will most likely rotate insulin types but to begin with I will use lantus. I get severe fatigue with hgh so I will probably have to drop it but going to try and do 2iu twice daily. My hgh dose won't change but with lantus I will start at 20iu and see how I am. Looking at upping to 30iu then 40iu. I will monitor things and maybe drop it, rotate to short acting slin or maybe even use a combo of the two. I also plan to experiment with some high dosed LR3 a long the way as well.

I have some syntherol and plan to use it in a way I haven't done before. Basically to make multiple bodyparts stand out and really help me look as huge as possible. More on that later.

@Elvia1023 Sorry for the question but accutane what does to your body? I have never used it and I am curious.

Love that leg workout, very simple and effective.

Do you track your steps?
How much cardio are you doing right now?

Accutane is an acne medication. It can also be good for skin quality (anti-aging) as well. Last time I come off everything I got some spots on my neck and back. They didn't really go away and when I started using deca awhile back they seemed to get worse and stayed so I added it in at a low dose. Most people use it for approx 6 months but I only got 3 months supply. I was going to get another 3 months but I have stopped it 2 weeks early so have done 10 weeks total and will see how things go and if I need to do another 3 months I will but things are looking good now.

In regards to side effects all it's done for me is dry my skin (the reason it works) but it's been minor. It does make you more sensitive to sunlight so another reason I wanted to stop it. It's liver toxic as well so that's another reason I wanted to stop it before going away because I will be drinking every day for 1 week. I would never use more than 20mg ever (some doctors prescribe 60-100mg) because it's a very strong medication. Pretty much anything you can think of could be a possible side effect as it can be very toxic. It's also known to cause mental disorders (anxiety and depression) in some but it doesn't do that to me. I started it long after my hip issues but he can dry out your body so could issues with joints and muscles as well. I have never had bad side effects from it and I have used it a few times over the years.

No I don't track my steps. I usually walk a lot but haven't been recently but I will make sure to get out more. I would 100% recommend to people to track their steps (and do cardio) but just being honest I don't bother. When I have dated people who did we would always do over 10,000 steps everyday so I am active but that's not been the case in recent months basically because I have been in pain. Walking helped my hip pain but if my lower back is bad I can't walk that far before it seizes up.

No cardio at all. I had planned to add in cardio (plus sled pushes etc) but I haven't really bothered. I will start doing more cardio.

Are all your working sets do failure? Do you always train to complete failure?

Good to hear your hips are better!

Thanks. Generally when I write working set it's to complete failure. I do many more sets but it's usually only working sets I mention because everything else is a warm up. Sometimes I mention warm ups if I am not doing working sets because of a reason (like the ab/adductors the other day just to make my hips work without any big load). I would never write those were working sets because they were far from failure. Sometimes I do use the term "working" and it's not to what I call complete failure. It's very rare I don't go to failure though but sure not every single working set of every exercise is to hell and back. Although 90% of the time I am failing and it's on the negative as well so a hack squat working set to me ends at the bottom.
