My road to glory part 1

[Chupapi7847]

What up gang today’s the start of a new week for me and I’m coming off a well rested rest day yesterday and feeling much better today and far less fatigued. Got up this morning and crushed fasted cardio somewhat easily had some bumps along the way and I’m getting started was a struggle, I wanted to go back to sleep but discipline is what builds a physique and I already skipped cardio once on Saturday for the first time and I can’t let it become a pattern. Soreness wise I felt great this morning thought my back was still gonna be sore from Saturdays workout based off the way I felt yesterday but today it was all cleared up. Still dealing with what I believe is high estrogen and I have check in with coach tomorrow so we’ll figure something out and make a plan bc I’m holding water like a motherfucker and the scales jumping up 3+ pounds a day sometimes. Today’s workout went great however still on a break from leg extensions to rest my knees up and see if that helps.
Todays workout:

• Seated leg curl 3x8-12@195 11/10/9

What’s happening gym folk got a few updates to share and a killer push workout so let’s get into it. Today started out rough yet again but this time I couldn’t pull through, woke up and felt like I had just fallen asleep and didn’t have it in me to get out of bed let alone hit cardio so I decided to skip fasted cardio which let me sleep another hour and I’ll hit cardio after my lift tonight. Woke up a bit better off but not much. Today was check in day with coach and we had several changes implemented starting today. First off we dialed back cardio from 5x30 minutes to 5x20 which I’m not mad at that the morning sessions been kicking my ass lately. Next is I’m skipping all leg work for the week to rest up my knees and see if a healthy reset will help them feel better, also all training this week will be done with 2 rir (I forgot tonight and accidentally went hard in the paint) Next up is I’m cycling off of mots c for the time being and starting a supplement called urolithin a 2x per night. And finally the biggest change is we’re dialing the gear back so I can come back to a baseline, new protocol will be 80mg test e eod and 40mg mast p eod. This is down from the current 100 test 140 mast. Coach thinks I may have low e2 based off our experiment and at this point I may just get a test done to find out for sure, it’s cheap and easy to do so why not. Tonight’s push workout was hella nice felt really strong today and was throwing weights around which is crazy considering I felt tired af most of the day but I’ll take it!

What’s up gang today’s the midweek check in and the last lift before an earned rest day tomorrow. This morning started off the same as the last several which is pretty rough and tired af but I powered through and got up and at it for fasted cardio which felt a lot easier today because I’m on a new protocol of 5x20 minutes a week instead of 5x30 so I had no excuses to not get it done. I was stuck in a daze until about lunchtime at work though tired as hell but then I finally found my second wind. Today was the first day of the new gear protocol which was kinda nice in the sense that it’s lower mg amounts so 1ml syringes do the trick and I don’t have to use that slow ass 3ml chonker lol. Todays workout went smooth and was relatively easy since I’m training 2rir for the week but I still worked up a sweat and a pump so can’t be too mad but I did have to remind myself a few times to make sure I was dialed back and not going hard af like I want to but my body needs a break so I suppose I’ll listen this time around.

What’s going on gang happy Friday to all whose work week ends after today! For me it’s all ot on Fridays which sucks but the moneys good so can’t complain too much I still get a two day weekend. Looking forward to sleeping in and waking up whenever I feel rested bc I’ve barely made it through this week. Coach thinks I’m experiencing some mitochondrial fatigue and possible estrogen issues as well on top of that. Got bloods scheduled next week Thursday to check my e2 and thyroid levels to see if there’s anything going on there. Training this week is also dialed back to 2 rir to try and give my body a break while still staying active, hard to not go hard af like usual but it’s necessary sometimes. Also no leg training at all this week to give me knees a break and see if that helps them feel better next week. So tonight’s workout was more of a mini workout given that it was just push no legs and 2rir but I still got a quick pump in and that still counts for something! Fasted cardio was a no go this morning bc I was tired as shit so planning on hitting that later tonight we’ll see.

Todays workout:

Day 5 push

What’s going on fellas it’s the weekend and I gotta say I don’t wanna do shit but relax. Nothing on my schedule today but gym stuff and I’m fighting against myself to get it done. Slept really well and got 9.5/10 hours of sleep although I did wake up a lot early this morning and forced myself back to sleep each time. Ain’t it a bitch when all week you want to sleep in and then when you have the opportunity your bodies like nah get up. Spent the day lounging around for the most part which was nice and ended up taking an unplanned nap before the gym bc ya boys always tired these days. After what should have recharged me for a workout I was dragging ass and had to force myself up to get to the gym. Then once I was at the gym I was just thinking about getting it over with and going home which is never a good feeling. Got through the workout though and it was an easier day since I’m doing 2rir for the week. Just thankful tomorrow’s and Monday (bc I’m skipping leg training this week) are rest days and hopefully I’ll feel better after that.

What’s going on guys sorry I’ve been absent this week and haven’t posted any updates in almost a week! I took a step back and took some time for myself to rest and try to get back to a healthy baseline. Today believe it or not is my first workout since my last pull day Saturday!! Coach suggested that I take a step back and let my body rest and called this week a deload week of sorts and paused all training until today, I didn’t like the idea of not training but given how I was feeling I knew it may be necessary to get me back to a more optimal position to train and grow. These last couple days have been weird since my whole routine was off but the rest I got from it was much needed and to top it off thanks to Easter my work gives me a 5 day break this weekend which will also allow me to rest up and ease back to training again without worrying about anything else. Honestly worked out pretty great! Decided to get some minimal bloodwork done to check things out to try and root cause why I’m feeling so rundown, got those done Thursday morning and checked my test levels,E2, and thyroid as those will reveal any potential issues that are relevant to me and my situation. Hopefully the results come in within the weekend so I can get an answer soon and begin to fix whatever’s going on. Today as I said was the first day back in the gym which went great once I got started but I was pretty tired and unmotivated to get at it but I can only rest so long before it really effects my progress so I got my ass in gear! Went pretty good for my first workout in 6 days but my knees are still pretty achy and I had to dial it back on the leg exercises to ease my way back into it. On the push side of things I felt like a straight monster pushing the weight up on several exercises or reps in general but felt really good there and probably should have taken it easy getting back into it but after doing that with legs I had to go hard on something to make me not feel like a little bitch you know what I mean? Felt good after not going hard for the past 2 weeks and I needed that reminder and adrenaline boost of feeling like an absolute unit!

What’s up guys it’s my second lift back today and damn did I not want to perform today, even after taking it easy this week I woke up tired and couldn’t shake it all day just feeling really worn down. Still made it to the gym after a nap that did nothing for me and got a workout in. Today I listened to coach and took things at 2sets and 2rir so it was an “easier” day today. Overall physique wise feeling a bit soft and fluffy and it’s really fucking with my mental but I remind myself to trust the process and trust in the bulk. Some updated physique photos below, currently sitting around 195 on the daily give or take a pound or two.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the fire Easter sale going on rn!!

What’s happening gym folk hope everyone enjoyed easter however they celebrate or not. Start of a new week and what better way to start it than with a leg day!! Today I’m still on the reduced training approach especially when it comes to leg training due to my knee issues being persistent. So I’m training 2 sets each exercise with 2rir but since it’s legs I’m also at 70% my 1rm as well. Check ins tomorrow with coach so we’ll see what adjustments are made, hopefully my mini bloodwork panel of e2 and test comes back by then as well so we can figure out what’s going on with me. Still tired af at all times regardless of how much sleep I get and pretty sure I’m holding mad water but hopefully these panels will help figure things out.

Todays workout:

Day 1 legs

• Seated leg curl 2x8-12@195 12/10
• Leg extension 2x10-15@140 15/15

What’s up my dudes today’s check in day and a solid push day as well. Still waiting on the my mini bloods panels to come back in which probably got delayed by the holiday weekend a bit but hopefully I’ll know by end of the day tomorrow. Check in went okay but I did cheat a little on Easter and had a slice of cheesecake and a scoop of buffalo chicken dip and I got a good scolding for that which I deserved since I also had a piece of pizza last week as well so I’m developing bad behaviors and was told it’s time to lock in. My weights been steady going up which is partly to blame from the water I’m holding ( I have edema in my legs now I’m holding so much water so I’m pretty sure I have high e2) but I’ve been lax on the diet here and there and it’s time to lock back into it and we’re treating this as a mini diet phase so if it’s not on plan don’t touch it type shit. Time to lock in so I can get back onto a growth phase and pack on some real mass. While on lower gear and potentially having to fix e2 problems and mitochondrial fatigue it’s the best time to diet down a bit and dial in while I get back to normal, that way once I’m feeling better we can blast off again!

Today’s workout:

Day 2 push

Respect for owning it bro, that’s how you tighten things back up. You on any mitochondrial peptides to help with energy and recovery?

What’s good my people today’s the last workout before the mid week break and we’re hitting one of the most important days in my opinion, pull day. Big thick backs win shows and I wanna struggle to walk through doorways because my lats are so big lol. First full effort back day in a week so I went hard af and like the other days I’m coming back stronger, that rest may not have cured my overall exhaustion but my muscles are performing better after the deload so that was a success at least! Still waiting on that damn e2 panel, it’s pissing me off tbh tomorrow morning will have been a week wtf mane.

What’s good playas coming back fresh off a rest day today for a killer push/leg workout let’s get into things. Today I set a pr in sleeping in and got a solid 11 hours of sleep in which in a way feels a little like a waste of my day off but I clearly needed it. However I’m still tired and lacking any motivation to do anything, really hope that goes away soon bc training has been rough the last couple weeks. Still managed to lock in after several attempts and got to the gym to hit the weights, it may be forced these days but I’m getting it done and performing well despite my lack of energy and motivation. Still taking things a bit lighter on the knees since they’re still bothering me but still got a solid workout in today. Bloodwork is FINALLY in, only took a week lol.

Last workout of the week and I did my best to make it a good one but man I struggled getting it done especially considering I got to the gym 90 minutes later than expected due to a fucking flat tire 👎🏾👎🏾. Now my whole evening is thrown off and I just wanted to get the lift over with. Got great sleep last night for a total of 10 hours but still just exhausted and every task feels like a giant ordeal to get through. This mitochondrial exhaustion is not for the weak I’m ready to be back to normal asap. Getting steps in will be difficult today and tomorrow bc my step mill broke on me last night so that sucks big time gonna have to order a new one, in the meantime I’ll have to either head to the gym or walk around outside if it’s nice out. Coach has me starting off on .5 anastrozole for the week and see what that puts me at and go from there.

What’s up gym freaks todays the start of a new week let’s all get after it and get some progress going! Skipped morning cardio this morning bc I was dead to the world and didn’t sleep great bc it was hot (temps are finally increasing here in the Midwest). Feel bad about it but that just means I’ll have to be better in the future but sleep’s important too and it’s all about a healthy balance. Todays a leg day and I’m going as hard as my knees slow me too and they actually felt pretty good today so I went pretty hard, we’ll see if I pay for it tomorrow lol. Check in day tomorrow so I will keep you guys posted on any updates. Still holding water and have some edema present in my arms and legs. Still experiencing some pretty intense exhaustion throughout the day so we’ll see where we go from here.
