[Grape Ape]

Im off, no trt nothing, shrunk but couldnt give a fuck
It seems so vapid and pointless to me now

After finally realising its all a fucking sham I know in 12 weeeks I can look like I did when I won the UK in 22 if I wanted to.

I would humbly ask you to win the Charlotte Cup next year.

But its not all about a look or size, training is important for mental and physical wellbeing. Trt can also help with a better general outlook.

I do have a terrible outlook on life in general

I have never really enjoyed weight training, I only did it because it worked and I looked good
If I could have looked the same without training I would never have gone

I love training mainly as a tool to keep me right, I am also considering going back on a bit of test in December for the same purposes not because I have lost some size and strength which sucks but for a more positive head, my thoughts have been very negative at times lately.

It may have nothing to do with test. I've been much more cynical and negative lately as well. I think we all have been.

Absolutely!

Swifty,
I sent Bhanky over to slap some sense into you.
He may need you to pick him up at the airport though...

For best bodybuilding results, are you a low, medium or high volume guy?

If testosterone testing was as easy as glucose monitoring I'd consider going the more natural route for a bit, with supplements and drugs that only enhance natural production. Even low dose true TRT isn't physiological since the levels don't really change through the day.

I've heard even serious competitors how good they feel mentally after a cycle, like a load off their shoulders. But usually in a few months they start missing it again

Not to depth and shakier than a Parkinsons patient in an earthquake

Does he sleep in his squat suit because he claims he can roll out of bed and squat 405.  As shaky and crappy as that is, he thinks he will add 30% to his squat in a year....WITH his shitty fucking knees (*which is his wild card to get him out of every endeavor).  Geezus Mikey...even you can't be thinking he is going to be able to do that

my current programme

I've been seriously ill from april to november this year. shit happens. but i am back training now. no juice at all until say feb/ march next year. i trust the medical people who have kept me alive not some woman beating bullshitter who got thrown out of law school.

I currently train with 2 lads who compete- one at pro level one high up amateur. none of us does bad form or one rep maxes because we arent powerlifters


sat- back
pullover machine
single arm parallel pulldown
t-bar row
seated row
shrugs
facepulls

all for 2-3 sets high rep warm ups then 2 sets drop each movement

monday- legs
again zero rep half squats are of no interest we are looking to grow tissue and develop the muscles
leg press- 3 sets 30- this is a warm up but each rep is 4 second neg, 1 second drive no pause at top
leg extension
smith front squat 3 supersets 15-20 each set
adductors
abductors- 3 supersets
pendulum squat- 2 x 15
one leg standing leg curl- 2 x drop
seated leg curl 2 x drop

calf raise 5 x 20

weds- upper body ex back
pec flyes/ incline smith 3 supersets
decline bench panatta 2 sets
seated side raise 3 sets
seated front raise 3 sets
rear delt flyes 3 sets
dumbell curl 2 drop sets
seated tricep press/ dips 2 supersets
hammer curl 2 drop sets

thats it lifting wise.

I do 7,500 steps a day upping to 10,000 january

I will not be getting a gaycycle or a hair transplant.

I box 2 sessions a week. I do one muay thai session- these are done with an eye on heart rate etc etc etc.

there we go. losing fat and gaining muscle back nicely.actually enjoying not being on anything. key for me is cardio health and maintain as much muscle as i can while off. the doctors said my 'elite levels of muscle mass' there words not mine compared to the average 40 plus year old have meant i was able to fight the lung infection, huge inflammation and heart failure I suffered.

I am on the road back and josh has been a great help with his contact as have many others off here.

my goal is simply to get healthy and train. I may well do some form of competition. maybe muay thai maye an over 50's.

enjoying it all again. enjoying life again.

that being said even at my lowest ebb i'd kick hankins to fucking death. its great how his entire facebook is moaning like a bitch about get big. theboard he tried to close down. however the thunderdome isnt like law school brian- it doesnt just disappear.

and brian I am at prophecy. in case you ever decide to come over and 'train'. hahahha. finally my workout would break you brian. god knows what SC and kranks amongst others would do to you.

now enjoy your holiday without your wife.

My meds list is phenomenal! That being said I am now really enjoying training and dont take the gym for granted at all. It a priveledge to be able to train at all. Baby steps back for me! But I will keep moving forwards!
