I’m not sure if this is the right place to share this skill give it a go and face a scolding later.
4 months back I ordered an upright pulley system from a company here in the Nashville area.
I have met the owner and he’s an upright man making high quality accessories here in the states.
Today my system arrived, for those of you who lift at home or in small spaces this may be the ticket for you for upright movements.

@man05 protein is good and i like your carb intake lets get oatmeal in there
That's way too much for one day
These are meals and weights over a three day period not one day.
So had I been eating like this during cycle it’s conceivable that I would have had more gains and more energy, lots more energy.
make sure we learn from our past and improve things for the future that's why we're logging
I think you're being a little hard on yourself
you've made some really strong progress
you've made some really strong progress
bro what we doing this weekend anything special?

Driving to St Louis with my youngest daughter tomorrow and back home Sunday. She’s on the highest level of youth soccer so we have to drive a bit to play the competitive teams. Saturday I’m working Back and biceps in the hotel.
Bringing all my food , my salmonella fun from Atlanta was enough for me to endure one time.
What about you?
Vadim, per your request, I present to you red lentil soup. I will eat off this for a few days with chicken and more vegetables and sweet potatoes.
I’m finding out that meal prep is the key for me.

Weights: this week was a reloading phase on all days, felt really weird but felt really refreshing. Thus far in 2024 I’ve learned to eat better and in doing so it’s easier to eat quality food, and the second is taking a recovery week to allow my body to heal, I am hopeful this next meso cycle I do will pay dividends.
I will update next Wednesday with new meso cycle and meals. Lentils have been a big hit at home so im going to make some more. Eggplants and some orange roughy this week.

@man05 i like your meals not would like a bit more protein but stay on this
volume can go up too more and more with cardio
I’m increasing sets starting Monday 3-4 sets no more than 8-10 reps. Cardio for me has been long walks and slow jogs, keeping HR low mostly.

@man05 good stay up on it and add slowly more cardio
Hey guys here's my midweek update, today was an off day which feels kinda weird but I am actually pretty sore from Monday so the rest is good.
Currently on a 150ish of Test C give or take a drop or two, introduced HGH a couple weeks backs and post consultation I will continue to do that long term for health benefits, possibly some gains but I don't think my dose is enough to warrant that. My diet is feeling pretty good and I'm excited to see what this brings once I do cycle again and as I have already seen better nutrition helps in physical and mental recovery.
Monday I started a 4 day per week program (@mobster) for six weeks to see how I feel, I plan to move to a five day per week program possibly once I start up a little cycle in 6 weeks and Ill run that for 8 weeks then cruise on Test and GH low dose. I need to see how I respond to a 4 day program and if that extra work day brings value to my next run.
Here are my meals, I will update again Saturday for the rest of the week and I am now logging full weeks of nutrition 7 days per week.
Here are my weights:
I will Post Thursday and Friday Saturday later in the week with the rest of this weeks nutrition.
Have a great night guys

@man05 I like the program mobster puts out, @SteveMobsterG is his user on EF not @ mobster
on fats you can up to 100 grams IMO with a bit more omegas
and fiber please add more psyllium husk for digestion
Off days happen. Heck, I allow for them in my training cycles
Between the two of you I can’t go wrong. Steve you've helped me and continue to refine all aspects of my exercise program and with moderation greater things are happening, thank you sir!
Yes sir, you suggested this over a year ago but I had to learn the hard way, more gear, more time on weights doesn’t make me stronger or a better physique. Rest both on and off makes for more gains.
I rest more than most people and my gains are off the charts.
And you said the same thing to me as I was crashing and burning, eat better, less reps etc.
I’m doing 8-9 exercises now 3 sets on average and anywhere from 5-8 reps, have a few that are still 10-12 which leads me to believe I need to add weight to reduce reps. My squats are gonna hit close to 300lbs before I even start anything new and once I do that gonna be a 8 week thing with no extra month add ons or jumping straight a cutter, back cruise. I’m on 4 days and off 3 for this program, I’m curious to see how I respond.
My goal is to increase to 4-5 sets 5-7 reps each once on cycle.
Your log is awesome man, I’m liking the fasted cardio, I’m gonna get a wind bike for the garage because jogging in high humidity is awful, I grew up doing that in Houston and Port Arthur it sucked now I’m in Tennessee reliving my suffering as an adult
Hey guys, I need a new belt, I’ve been running an old school leather rogue and while new it was stiff and felt supportive now the edges feel soft and I’m having a time trying to cinch it down.
Are gym reapers garbage? Any suggestions? Stick with an original fastener or a cam fastener which seems easier and quicker to take on and off.
Thank you

Thank you
I had inigual hernia surgery last year, I healed fast with peptides but don’t want a repeat performance. I want the additional core bracing and piece of mind.
APPROVED LOG
Bro did the doctor say to use a belt
I'm not sure a belt will help cover up that type of surgery
your sleep will be key if you're pushing the workouts
I like wearing a belt when I squat mostly for support, the surgery was a success and healed nicely with mesh placed over tear. I like the abdominal pressure and yes the doc suggested that i don’t do heavy squats or deadlifts without.
Getting 9+ hours nightly
It keeps abdominal pressure high which helps to prevent inigual hernias.
@man05 I'd like to see the belt I dont see it
It’s just a leather rogue weight belt, nothing special, just not very stiff anymore on the edges.
Glad you got it sorted out and u got good advice from the doctor and you are utilizing the advice.
Thanks but I was just asking the forum about a new option for a belt, like a brand and not sort of spiraled.
I don’t personally use one
@man05 I see it but many of us dont use belts because it weakens your lower back leading to injury
lift less if you need a belt bro
ive followed your log for a long time you dont need a belt
The only time I use a belt is on heavy lifts so I can get good bracing. Squats and deadlifts is when u need a belt. Benching as well when going heavy.
Here's my Saturday update, first Saturday I haven't worked out in over 3 years, I definitely can attribute that to overtraining and a lack of growth. I am finding a 4 day cycle allows me to push really hard and enough time to recover, I wonder if a 5 day program would be better on cycle or if a 4 day on cycle would be even better with the rest. Feeling really good and really strong with only 150ish test per week, diet is 100% effective in making me feel better and very healthy mentally and physically, I look forward to this diet on cycle as well.
Here is my last two days of lifting this week and my diet which I projected for my last two meals.
I am going to continue to log my diet 7 days a week to keep track of my food.
Diet:
Weights:
Camber bar on the front and back squats are tough, bench was tough as well, very big deep stretch, I could feel it more and I slowly pushed up and slowly lowered down roughly for a 4 count rep. I am actually kind of shocked that I feel stronger now than I did on DECA and test or Primo, I can only attribute this to diet and some cardio but mostly nutrition.
I am thinking I want to just up all the weight until I am failing at 7-8 reps leaving me 1 rep in reserve for 3-4 sets. Does this have any negative consequences? I am looking at leaving Calf raises maybe 12 reps with more weight. My Hammer Curl drop set I think should look like this 7-8 reps @45lbs then drop to 35lbs and push for 8-10, I feel like I was cranking out to many reps on the dropset.
At any rate I'm gonna rest up cause Monday is push and I want to push harder than last Monday even if that's one rep more, buildup starts next week with a weight increase.

Hammer curls are one of my favourites.
@man05 saturday get some rest next week too
i dont think upping weight is needed, I think staying with 7-8 reps is fine but 1 big pump set in end
diet is very balanced I see you really doing it right
Too many train too often. Glad to hear it
I’m only talking small changes 5lbs or so as I progress up the ladder then week six I drop about 70% and deload.@man05 saturday get some rest next week too
