Non training days are my lowest protein intake, with a target of 280g.
Training days are 300-310g of protein.

Session:
Week 5 - Chest, Triceps & Shoulders
Strong session with a good combination of chest and tricep movements, and finished with delts to complete the pump. Tried out some new movements today, so some of the rep ranges ended up a bit higher than planned due to me feeling out the weights, but overall volume was good and the pump came on well. Triceps work included both overhead and pushdown variations, and finished with a cable lateral raise to get blood into the shoulders. Energy was good but not as dialled in without the usual preworkout. Still got a strong pump, especially through the chest.

Cardio:
No formal cardio, but did hit 10,000 steps for the day.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre and intra-workout nutrition attached. Used two cans of Oxyshred instead of Disorder, and while it gave a hit, it didn’t provide the usual energy or focus. Intra included water and pump juice, and hydration was solid throughout. Digestion is back on track after the weekend drop in intake.

Recovery:
Slept 8 hours and 20 minutes, though quality was patchy due to waking up a few times with a blocked nose. Body felt fine once moving and training didn’t feel compromised. Planning on an early night tonight to get back in front.

Current PEDs:
Test E 437.5mg/week
EQ 210mg/week
NPP 210mg/week
GH 5IU/day

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Injected left delt this morning with no issues- smooth pin as usual with @UGL OZ gear. Libido continues to rise even with a bit of sickness. Blood pressure this morning was 118/72. No cialis used today.

Adjustments Made:
Some newer movements today, but worked the planned muscle groups. Training layout may shift slightly later this week depending on how the sickness progresses.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight not recorded. Muscular fullness remains good and performance is holding.

General Comments:
Tested positive to COVID this morning but symptoms remain light- just a stuffy nose and some fatigue later in the evening. Working from home for the next couple of days, so juggling kids, work and meals may shift the usual rhythm a bit. Hoping to keep the training week on track if the symptoms stay manageable.

300 is like the perfect level of protein bro you are king with constant
but the sickness part
u going to rest off?

Not feeling anything other than a runny nose at the moment, so will do a workout later this afternoon.

Session:
Week 4 - Back, Biceps & Abs
Session included single-arm cable rows, machine pulldowns, hammer machine rows, and three biceps-focused movements using cables, dumbbells, and the EZ bar. Finished off with hanging knee raises. Good controlled contractions throughout and pump came on nicely. Nothing missed despite feeling under the weather. Still managing to hit training with solid intensity.

Cardio:
No cardio today. Step count under 6,000.

Nutrition & Supps:
All meals drawn from what I had on hand in the pantry/fridge at home (rather than go shopping, I tried to make the most of what I had). Dinner planned is chicken breast, jasmine rice, zucchini, and green beans. Probably will throw on some hot sauce to add some extra flavour. Pre-workout included oats, whey, honey, salt, Oxyshred and pump juice. Intra was pump juice and plenty of water. Post-workout was cereal, milk and whey. Digestion has remained strong throughout the day.

Recovery:
7 hours and 35 minutes of solid sleep. Woke up still feeling under the weather but it didn’t impact training. Elbow continues to be managed, with just some minor pain on certain movements. Energy and mood both holding up.

Current PEDs:
Test E 437.5mg/week
EQ 210mg/week
NPP 210mg/week
GH 5IU/day

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No injection this morning. Libido remains elevated, blood pressure steady, and mood good. Covid symptoms haven't worsened- mainly just congestion.

Adjustments Made:
None today.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 111.0kg. Despite being sick and reducing output slightly, strength and training quality are holding steady.

General Comments:
Balancing work, kids, and covid but still getting everything done. Motivation is high and the current setup continues to feel effective. Monitoring symptoms and will stay flexible if needed, but hoping to continue training uninterrupted.

Good work

Session:
Thursday - Lower Body Focus (Deload)
Deload lower session prioritising execution and control across hamstrings, quads, glutes, and calves. Lying and seated leg curls were used to warm up hamstrings and connect early, followed by targeted quad work through single-leg extensions and adduction. Dumbbell split squats were steady and controlled, with no intent to over-push loading. Finished with hack squats and leg press calves. No performance PRs chased- focus remained on tension, tempo, and maintaining output while recovering from illness.

Cardio:
None. Step count just over 12,000.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre: Oats, whey, salt, berries, honey, water, Pump Juice, and tried a new pre-workout.
Intra: 1 scoop Pump Juice and plenty of water.
Post: Oats, WPI, salt, cinnamon, water. Tasted a bit average, so probably won't have this exact combination again.
Appetite high again in the evening, consistent with EQ onset.

Recovery:
7 hours 49 minutes of sleep. Quality was strong with symptoms mostly gone aside from the occasional sniffle. No session yesterday allowed energy to rebound well. Body felt fresh enough to move today without overreaching.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Still positive for COVID but symptoms minimal. Hunger up noticeably. BP holding well at 120/75. No issues at injection sites. Digestion continues to feel consistent and efficient.

Adjustments Made:
None today. Training held to deload intent.

Progress Updates:
No weight recorded, but holding around 111kg.

General Comments:
With deload and illness overlapping, this week has been more about keeping quality high rather than pushing thresholds. So far, signs are good that recovery is on track. Looking to close out the week smoothly before returning to regular intensity next block.

@hypogaeum good job on the recovery. 8 hours of sleep is huge. i wish i could get 9 hours even

 

[SteveMobsterG]

Deload for me is a temporary backing off. What I actually do is cycle back my strength periodically 2-3x a year

Session:
Friday - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Deload session to finish the week. Volume slightly reduced and all sets focused on clean execution without chasing load. Movements included machine chest press, seated and underhand flyes, triceps overhead extensions and rope pushdowns, as well as three shoulder exercises (lateral raises, reverse flyes, and cable shrugs). No joint pain, pump came on well despite a bit of fatigue in the afternoon. Solid closure to the training week, especially after bouncing back from sickness.

Cardio:
None.

Nutrition & Supps:
Meals have still been adjusted around what’s available at home, but macros are tracking fairly close to target. Pre, intra, and post meals included the usual oats, whey, berries, salt, and a mix of pre-workout powders. Main meals were built around high-protein ready meals and easy-to-digest carb sources. No appetite suppression despite multiple shakes- still feeling the EQ-driven hunger in the evenings.

Recovery:
6 hours and 4 minutes of sleep. Quality was decent despite being less time than it has been recently. Feel like the last of the covid symptoms are gone now. Training didn’t suffer. Digestion and energy are both strong.

Current PEDs:
437.5mg Test E, 210mg EQ, 210mg NPP weekly. GH at 5IU/day.
Injected left ventroglute today. No issues.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Hunger spikes later in the day- possibly from the EQ. BP holding steady and within range. Libido, energy and mood all in a good place. No issues with injection sites.

Adjustments Made:
Deload week completed. No load progression attempts, just focusing on execution. Will transition back into heavier progression from Monday.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight 111.2kg. Tracking closely now that the blast is properly underway and will make sure not to let things get out of hand over the next 4-5 weeks.

General Comments:
Getting back to baseline post-covid. Motivation remains high. Diet has held up well despite being away from routine and meal prep. Looking forward to returning to normal structure next week and putting a solid couple of weeks together before bloodwork. Currently feeling really good on the PEDs at the current ratio, so will be interested to see what the bloodwork says (and whether it reflects what I'm feeling).
