Approved Log My TRT and Deca Cycle log

[MasonicBodybuilder]

You are doing amazing man. Logs like this are super motivational for not only the person posting them but all the members who read them. They actually become a great resource down the road too if someone is interested in trying out your plan or something similar.

Thank you, one of the members said that the log will write itself and I’m seeing that daily. Hopefully this is helpful to others. I’m liking deca and the results so far. For me it’s learning to run my cycle properly and not reactively. Also members pointing out that if it’s working no more gear is necessary and I have been motivated to push myself as hard as I can each session. I wonder at times what 300 deca would be like instead of my 200 and I think back to my first cycle of 500mg test per week eating dbol knowing nothing, eating too much carb not enough protein and I was an estrogen elevated bloated mess. This log and all future logs I’m doing for myself and for anyone else who will benefit. I love this community, great folks here, tons of wisdom.

Here is my first update for the week.
I performed normal sets of chest yesterday, today though I reduced by one set. IS the optimal set range 3 or 4?
Looking back some days when I was pushing 5 sets heavy I felt weaker the next day on different body part. Is it advisable to reduce number of exercises to maintain the 4-5 rep range? Sometimes all the high reps with heavy weights leaves me feeling worn out but I am not sure what causes this as some weeks I can crush it. Thank you in advance for your responses.

@man05 strong update you're really training hard

 

[SteveMobsterG]

In terms of volume I'd say 3. More so if you're doing other chest moves

 

[Quadsweep]

Three sets is completely fine for the range.

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro i say go 5. hit it harder my motto

 

[JasonPriest]

Feeling worn out is okay but it should not be a daily thing.
