I planned to leave this thread but figured I should update it before I start my new one. I had a great time in the UK. I trained at 2 great gyms but not at the ones I originally planned to go. I just stayed local but they both had everything I needed. The gyms in the UK are amazing and cost a fraction ($20 per month for a great gym). I wish I could train in gyms like that as having access to all that plate loaded equipment only adds to results.
Sometimes when I go to the UK I just eat so much crap. I get to the point I think I should just go for it so it almost puts me off food so when I get back I don't crave anything. I go all year eating clean so it can be a shock to the system
The first day I got back at about 6pm and by the time I had gone to bed I had gone through 4 big bowls of cereal, bag of walnuts, bag of cheese, loads of bread, 2 bars of chocolate, roast dinner with beetroot and pickled onions, yoghurts, biscuits etc. I must have had about 7000+ calories that first night. One of the bowls of cereal I had was a small box of chocolate granola which was 1500 calories. I did also go through a lot of berries and dates as well.
So I just stuffed my face but amazingly I looked better for it. I done some massive full body workouts whilst there but the rest of the time was mainly spent watching tv. I trained for 2-1/2 hours 3 days in a row. Every session had many working sets and maybe 2-3 for every body part. I don't recommend that type of training as it's too much but I just done it for the few days I trained. I was recovering fine though because I was sleeping and waking up when I woke up (no alarm) and I was going through tonnes of food.
On the Friday night after training I decided to go out on a big night out. I didn't get back until 9am. Before we went out me and 1 mate went through a large bottle of cognac between us. As a result my body was a mess and everything was sore for a few days after. When you are sleeping and eating recovery is no problem but that was the complete opposite.
I had allowed my test levels to drop down but before I left for the UK I injected 150mg test planning to stay on TRT until I blasted again. However I changed my mind and decided not to inject again. Although it had only been 2 week since then so not long at all. I was going to leave things to drop off for a few more weeks but I just decided to start test and deca. Not a long break but I won't be going crazy with the doses. I usually kickstart with an oral but just using injectables now. I want to give my body a break and I know I can improve cholesterol even as I grow as long as I leave the orals and stay on the basic aas.
I will start a new thread but everything is basic with me concentrating on food and training to grow with a solid base of hormones in the mix. As posted I will also use some slin to help with the shuttling of nutrients and give my pancreas a bit of a break due to the constant carbs. I will outline everything in my new thread.
I have been surprised as I have been improving and things are going well. Most people tend to look better when they first come off a cycle though. Although I am pleased as my legs have improved so much recently. The added cardio has made a massive difference. My calves are probably going through their first ever growth spurt (excluding syntherol)
I have added some size to all parts of my legs and the veins seem to be coming out more every week. I attribute that to the hard cardio and on many days I do all my cardio on my tiptoes with a constant effort to do a calf raise with every step.
Training is brutal now and that's why I figured I should start the test and deca. I injected for the first time on Monday night (250mg test c and 150mg deca). My plan is to do 500mg test and 300mg deca. Later on I will up deca to 400mg and add in mast e at 200mg.
Even though I am growing my diet will be pretty much all clean foods. I went through a box of granola last night (pre bed) in about 10 mins. A 500g box and 400 calories per 100g so 2000 calories (not counting dairy milk). As a result I have had a bit of a turtle belly today. Adding a meal like that will definitely help you blow up but I am after quality over qunatity. I also want to minimize any waist growth as I move up in weight. Therefore I won't be having anymore nights like that and I will stick to my coconut/almond/hazelnut milk from now on. After going so long with minimal dairy intake I find even small amounts bloat me now. I also plan to do some vacuums and regular abs work just to keep the waist as tight as possible. It will grow (one of the first things to do so for me on higher calories) as I plan to pack on about 40 pounds but I will ensure it's minimal as it simply ruins the look when the waist gets too out of control. Details on everything will be posted soon in a new thread
