Waist: 33.00"

Well boys, I pussied out. I dropped carbs by 40g on medium days. So still a big jump of 80g on high days, and 80g on medium days, but based on how I felt yesterday, water/food weight increase today, and I guess just intuition, I decided the 120g jump on medium days was going to be too much.

That being said, I did pose after cardio this morning and I looked really good. Ab veins, tight skin, just a touch bloated from the extra food yesterday. I'll ride these next two medium days out, see how I feel and see what the scale is doing and adjust from there.

Macros:
High Days: 225P / 735C / 0AF (2x/week)
Medium Days: 250P / 545C / 35AF (4x/week)
Low Day: 275P / 185C / 65AF (1x/week)

My left knee is still bothering me. Hurt pretty bad yesterday after extensions and leg press. I need to find some KLOW and see how that works for me. I've never run bpc/tb. Plan for tomorrow is to do (4) sets of leg press instead of (2) leg extensions, and (2) leg press. I can feel my knee being bothered even in my warm up sets on extensions so maybe that is actually the exercise that is bothering it the most. Not sure, just trying to play the elimination game to keep me progressing.

Leg press for (4) sets sucked but we will see how my knee feels this afternoon. Even though I physically feel like shit from this big food bump, my gym sessions have been great. Pumps coming back strong. Chest was blown up today after just two sets of DB press. I'm sure i will take 5-7 days for my body and digestive track to get used to the food increase.

I always keep my feet on the bottom of the pad for more quad activation. Over the last few weeks, I've tried every position at the bottom of the pad to see if I can get some comfort on my left knee. It all feels the same to my knee. I've done heels pretty much heels together toes 10/2, feet inside shoulder width apart 10/2 and strait, and also feet shoulder width apart 10/2 and straight. Nothing really helps my knee. Only difference I feel is more adductor soreness the next day after feet being wider.

is that 500 primo enough to control your E2 in this stack design or are you using an AI as well?

Knee actually does feel better. Still pain, but probably 50% reduction in pain. I'm going to pull leg extensions out for the time being.

Good session today. This food is doing work. Had ab veins all up my midsection after training today. That being said, I am definitely feeling the effects of a large increase in food. My breathing is heavy but my heart rate is still low. My digestion is noticeably slower. Going to give it a week to see if I acclimate, or if I need to lower/drop the reta. My post meal on high days is 220g of carbs. I've split that into 170g immediately after training, and the other 50 one hour after that to help with digestion. Worked pretty well today.

More than enough to control my E2. Primo is a very strong AI in me. Anymore than 50% my test dose and my E2 tanks.

What part of knee,? Like under your kneecap ?

Seems like it is the outside of my left knee. Not really under my kneecap.

Made a mistake last night and dosed my reta like my gh shot.. So instead of taking 3mg reta for the week, I accidentally took a total of 4mg. Not a huge deal but I did it at the absolute worst time.

With the food bump this week, my already slowed down digestion, and me not as hungry as I have been, I'm hoping these next few days aren't terrible. I will compensate with my Monday dose so things level out.

Weight is creeping up as well as waist.. Pulling 20g of carbs out of meal 3 today. That should hopefully keep me right at the upper end of my goal for the week after fasted weigh in tomorrow morning. That extra reta did slow down digestion more than usual, which sucks.

Hamstrings have not progressed at all for a week or more, while everything else is getting stronger and better each week. I dropped volume this week which didn't seem to help. I'm going to keep the volume next week, but lighten the load and focus on temp and execution. We will see if that nudges progress for me.

Well, I over shot the food bump last week. 80g carb increase on both medium and high days was too aggressive. Probably should have done 50g or so. Average weight is up 1.7lbs and waist crept up 1/8". Towards the end of the week, the waist was creeping up almost daily so it's obviously too much food. The increase of 1.7lbs isn't crazy, but my upper threashold is 1-1.3lbs at my current body weight. I feel like anymore than that is just going to spill over into fat, especially if that rate of gain is sustained for multiple weeks.

Check in pics look good, but I have an obvious layer of water over me everywhere. I just look softer overall. If I pull back a touch, I'm hoping that water goes away and all the negative effects of the food bump i've experienced this last week will subside.

I pulled 30g out of my high days, and 20g out of my medium days. Goal this week is to get my rested breathing back to normal, get my appetite back to a 10/10, improve digestion, and see if my waist comes back down under 33".

Training wise I'll focus on progressing upper/mid back with a couple tweaks to back movements, and try and get a different kind of stimulus to my hams.

Had vascularity in my chest today before training that I've never seen before. Pretty cool seeing changes like that.

I decided to pull the reta completely and see what I notice. I've been torn about pulling it for the last couple weeks. With me misdosing it last Thursday, and the big food bump last week, I thought I'd pull it and see what happens. Might have to increase insulin with my pre and post meals a bit, but I'm thinking the food will be better utilized, and it will move through me much quicker giving me better performance in the gym and make my stack more efficient. I'll update here with anything I notice.

How much insulin are you currently use with pre and post meal, how many hours before workout do you usually have a preworkout meal?

1iu per 10g of carbs directly after my pre meal (1.5 hours before training), zero insulin intra, and 1iu per 20g of carbs directly after my post meal. I seem to be very sensitive right now. Anymore than this and I fight hypo.
