I am good. I will start updating again
After I turned 40 I decided to downsize. It wasn't hard because I just ate what I wanted so all the same foods just less of them. Whilst I never really forcefed when consuming 5-6 decent meals per day I would have to tell my self to eat a meal every 2-3 hours. Otherwise I could happily go another 2 hours on my computer etc and not think about eating and before I realize I am at 3 meals for the day and it's bedtime.
I have the bug again though after travelling and meeting some great bodybuilders. Things will be slightly different as my aim is to look fantastic but also be able to perform at a high level as well. I will get fitter as I improve my physique so it's not just about the inside. My diet is similar but just more nutrient dense foods and less rice than before. More healthy fats and less starchy carbs as a result.
I went off gear then I done all different things. I was using test and deca recently but for some reason I am not responding well to deca like I have in the past. I started getting acne (back and shoulders) after adding it in so I am dropped it. Now I am going to just use test at 1ml (300mg) EOD for now and go from there. Before this it was literally 2 injs per week. So starting a few days ago I will be at 1.05g test per week which is plenty for me. I will definitely add something else in when I feel like it.
I am still training PPL excluding a few full body workouts recently. My training has been very intense recently and I plan to keep it that way. A mixture of rep ranges as usual but using the PPL framework to work from. I have been having issues when I push the cardio output (weight training) which is annoying because I wanted to do more training that gets my heart rate high. My anxiety was kicking off and another reason why I dropped the deca. Basically anytime I got really out of breath my mind/body would go into panic. It happened after an intense sled push set and after 2 intense hack squatting sets. As a result I have recently been doing more lower rep sets and trying to really control my breathing. I need to et blood work done and will see how everything is including prolactin and cortisol.
Tomorrow I will be training legs which should be fun. Today was an off day. I will start posting about my training from now on.
I am starting 2.5ml synthetine and 1ml syntheselen preworkout tomorrow. I will also add in insulin in 2 weeks and will start at 5iu preworkout and 10iu post workout. I will get some new pics posted soon. I am building the food up and today I ate...
5 whole eggs cooked in coconut oil, 2 pieces of toasted tiger bread with extra virgin olive oil, blueberries, 1 clementine, 85% dark chocolate and a black coffee.
Sirloin steak, sweet potatoe, 1/2 avocado, 1 banana and strawberries.
Chicken Breast, brazil nuts, walnuts, black grapes and 1 pink lady apple.
Rump steak, red/yellow peppers, extra mature cheddar cheese, raspberries and 1 actimel yoghurt.
Tomorrow will be similar but on workout days I will add in jasmine/wild rice (or oats) pre and post workout. My intra shake also contains EAA's and honey at the moment. So overall less carbs than normal but more fats. I will increase things as I move along but I am most happy when eating like this.
