Approved Log Bulking Cycle - with Sassy’s Pharmaceuticals

Week 8 Midweek Update

Good evening, EF!

I’ve changed up my training days/split, swapped a few exercises around, reduced volume on my shoulders and so far it’s boding well.

I will also be reducing my daily step-count (as much as work permits), going forward, as I believe that is also a contributing factor on my shitty recovery lately. Burning the candle at both ends, isn’t the best strategy for growth.

Will have a full rundown of my week training-wise, recovery, pics etc. on Sunday.

For now, enjoy some gear porn - touchdown from the best @Sassy's Pharmaceuticals @Sassy Rep

Week 8 Update.

Good evening EF brothers,

This week I changed around some of my training days and started off with reduced volume on my shoulders. However, some heavy lifting at work over Thursday and Friday inflamed my shoulders so I chose to sit out my upper body training. Training wise it wasn’t a huge week, more focused on my lower and core.

Sleep this week hasn’t been the greatest either. In saying that though, last night I slept a solid 8.5hrs. Felt good today.

Weight is trending upward though. I’m happy with my slow and steady progress.

I’ve attached a comparison photo. These are 8 weeks apart (obviously, considering this is an 8th week update). I’ve tried to replicate conditions for the photo, to the best of my abilities. About 1.8-2kg difference in the photos.

• After this week, I’ll be restructuring my training split to an upper/lower/rest/upper/lower/rest/rest or 2 on - 1 off - 2 on - 2 off. I’ll be really prioritising rest and recovery going forward, instead of just trying to push through the pain.
