Without watching all his workouts (one form check video is 107 minutes long... you gotta be kidding me) I HAVE advised gym buddies on chest stuff from the bodybuilding point of view. I am, of course, training for strength. But 45 years of x equals being able to talk about it. One obvious issue is it's easier to show than type out (and I'm not recording how to train videos). That said:
1.
For ALL chest exercises inc flyes imagine there's a wire pulling your chest up into the space between your arms at the top of the movement. You want to have the chest FILL that space.
2.
On ALL chest exercises (not on any with dumbbells) , esp the positive, 'pull' your hands together. This is doesn't need to be much more than a gentle pull but it WILL engage the pecs more
3.
Back to the wire idea. The imagined fixing point needs to be inline with the area you wanna work (so low, middle or upper chest).
4.
On flyes (pec dec too). You do NOT need to over extend at the bottom but you can still feel a stretch but only in the muscle and fascia not in the tendons and esp not in the joint. I usually suggest squeezing the handles or dumbbells together at the top but once you learn to engage the muscle you wont need to do that.
5.
When doing a movement imagine you're flexing it into a pose. I can make my chest cramp up doing that with NO weights
I never recommend dumbell flys.
To easy to tear up your shoulder.
Speaking from experience. If you have to do them, do them laying on the floor. This keeps you from going deep. Pec deck is much safer. Or cable machine.
Try lowering your arms and or elbows. Too high takes out the chest and makes it all shoulder.
Atleast that is true for me.
Everyone is built different. You have to work around until you find your mind muscle connection.

Heck of a workout. Tried out the newly arrived Cerebus Extreme knee wraps - super stiff. Bitch to put on but judge for yourself the difference they made
Hatfield Squat
bar x 8 reps, 100kg/220lbs x 8 reps, 180kg/396lbs x 6 reps, 270kg/594lbs x 4 reps
Leg Press
232kg x 8 reps, 432kg x 8 reps, 750.75kg/1651lbs (just cos - so we could say we'd lone 3/4 metric ton lol)) x 3 reps (bit too heavy but quads lit up on both legs)
Lying Leg Curls
4p x 8 reps, 6p x 8 reps Hams lit up right away on both sets due to the previous sets
So as many of you know I have been out the game a minute due to shoulder and Knee injury. Had surgery at end of November and on road to recover. Been taking HGH, bpc-157, and tb-500 for the knee and shoulder. Both on road to recovery but no Leg Weight training for another 3 months or so. Should is btr but just wont completely heal. I believe I have a partial tear or a pinched nerve maybe both. anyways I cant take anymore time off its time to get the party started. So I started training again 3 weeks ago. Been on trt since August at 250mg sust weekly. Started cycle this week for the Bulk...
Hello everyone as many of you can tell it's about that time again for another log by me. I will not be pinning right away with my log I will be giving myself some more time before that happens, in the meantime I will be starting my 16 week diet for the log, with that said I figured I would post up my plans for this cycle regarding the diet and compound protocol for this run.
I will be completely switching this diet around and trying some fun stuff with this one. I think I will excel with this method.
The goal is cutting for this cycle and if I see the results I'm after following these 16...
As the title suggests this will be my Domestic Supply recovery log utilizing HGH & BPC157.
First of all huge thank you is in order for Greg helping me make this recovery log possible and getting the products out faster than an Amazon prime order.
The way this will be structured is the less is more approach as both of these compounds are being run for the first time with myself.
Protocol as follows:
Beltropin 1Iu a day 5/2 Split 5 on 2 off.
first two weeks so I can see how I feel and if i can tolerate the GH, if it goes well we bump up into...
I have been on a reduced dosage of test @150mg for the past 5 weeks, I feel great.
Original doctors prescription was 260mg. Through some consultation, research and speaking with my actual personal doctor I have decided to run a reduced dosage to see how I respond, its noticeable for sure as I am now running half the dosage I ran on cycle. I will have my blood drawn again to see where I am really at in a few months and I think I should have a better idea of if my TRT dose is adequate or needs to be raised up a bit. My Test was 297 prior to starting TRT last April. My most recent labs...
I weigh around 220 pounds but will check weight tomorrow morning before gym and update back here. Also ordered something to give me a good idea of body fat percentage and will post that here once I have it. Bloodwork done recently was good and will get more bloodwork done...
Been off for awhile with injury but I feel better so here we go. Training never stopped, just adjusted for injuries.

Just a little introduction about myself before I get into specifics about my current training, dieting and supplement use. This is my first log. I used to be fit in my early 20’s then life happened. I have a family with 4 kids and a supportive wife. I help coach two soccer teams. I had a knee replacement in December 2023 that I am still recovering from. I work for an engineering firm where I sit all day. I’m looking for help and guidance through this Journey.
LETS GO!
My plan is to loose body fat.
I would like to eventually get down to 215 LBS
Just a little introduction about my self before I get into specifics about my training, dieting and supplement use. This is my first log ever. I have never put my self out there for all to judge before, but here I go. I am an Aussie that loves training hard because it’s a part of my life. I have been training on and off for 22 years now but nothing ever as serious as I am now. 2018 I started training full time, never missing a session or a meal. In 2019 I started training under a coach (Eric Broser) I wish I would have done this when I started training at the...
I have finally started this cycle as follows:
300 Test C weekly
500 Primo weekly
50 Var weekly
After a week of TRT dose and waiting for final components I began increasing reps and dropping the weight a little bit.
Middle of last week I got Salmonella and required several days down time and iv hydration. Now that I am feeling better I am ready to go.
Here are todays weights as projected:
Hey guys here is my first go at a Cycle log so that I may work with experts to guide me and help me further learn.
I am 49, in very good physical shape I am 6'2, 209 lbs roughly 13-14% bf, I have strong cardiovascular properties as a results of years of competitive cycling and running.

I plan to start a little cycle for helping the recovery and try to get my olympic shape lol.
In a few words, i have always practiced a sport since my childhood (swimming, footaball, basketball, archery, running, bike....) and i started gym for the first time at 17 years old, i was born with a genetic abnormality, which can sometimes slow me down for the training and in generaly in the life (i get the treatment in the hospital every 3-6 months)
Actually i see a physiotherapis for some "strengthening" with stuff like leg press, trx, weight like crossfit dumbell ...
For context before I start at the bottom of this are photos of what I looked like after 8 years of hard training other then over the counter supplements I used nothing else I built my base the correct way. Trt didn't come into the picture till I was in my 30s what you see with these photos is what I am trying to get back to looking and feeling like.
I have a long hard road ahead of me, this isnt the first time and it wont be the last.
Fyi big genetic weak point caves for me it is what it is i will continue to grind legs and caves and see how we can improve that weak point.

Hahaha. I know we should all do it. I just got out...
I’m starting 500 test-e for 10 weeks. I’ve been on antibiotics for lymes for 5 days.
I know this isn’t a legit cycle and pretty boring but wanted to put it out there in case anyone ever has same problem. Seems Unlikely, considering this seems out of ordinary to me, but I’m planning to use test to help recover and keep my workout stronger. My only symptoms are extremely sore shoulders hips and glutes from like 4am to noon. After that I can move around and actually have some intense workouts. I know there’s not a doctor in existence that would recommend test to recover from lymes but here...
I will start the log here and keep it updated. Main goal of the cycle is to lose fat and weight while maintaining strength and possibly gaining some lean mass. I've done this successfully on my last 2 cycles. My diet while on this was 20/4 IF and keto. I would work out fasted, eat keto during the 4 hour window following the workout, and then be done again until the next day. I lost about 15-20 kg during the 12 week cycles and gained a little strength...
