OK, its finally time to do this. Not only as a way to track progress but as a way to put some pressure on myself to go at it full on with all the NL peeps watching. Im going to lock things down and give myself until June to hit 11%. That's 6-7 months more or less with a kick off date of Dec 01. (A lot of business travel coming up over the next few weeks) Stats: 38 years old, 6'3" @ 238.14lbs and I would put myself around 21% BF. Training off and on since I was 13. Biggest, 308lbs when I was power lifting, smallest (adult life) 198lbs when I was in a very bad place. Skinny fat and such. Current Diet / Supplements: (Macros are estimates) 6:00AM: 100mcg Synthroid, 50mg Proviron, 1 baby aspirin, cranberry extract 6:30AM: Curcumin, Q10, VD, Liver Support, Maca w/ HGW (adding a OTC fat burner when this officially kicks off) 7AM: Omlet (3 large eggs, 100-150g shrimp, 1 cup mixed diced fresh veg, 1 small wrap) 40P, 20C, 12F 9:30AM: Shake (2 scoots whey – 50g, 1 scoop flax seed, 500mg VC 600mg Calcium w/Mag, ) 50P, 8C, 5F 12:00PM: 1 8oz chicken breast, 2-3 cups mixed veggies, 1 cup rice, 3 caps fish oil, multi V 50P, 40C, 5-10F 1-2PM: (adding a OTC fat burner when this officially kicks off) 2:30PM: Shake (2 scoops Whey, 3 caps fish oil, 500mg VC, 600mg Calcium w/Mag, 1 tsp husk fiber) 50P, 5C, 5F 5:00PM: (Pre-Workout) 1 x 8oz chicken breast, 1 large apple. 50P, 50C, 0F 6:30 to 8:00PM: Gym (BCAA) 8:30PM: 200g steak, 1 cup rice, 2 cups mixed veg 55P, 40C, 30F Totals: 295P, 163C, 62F (1832+496) = 2328cal +/1 500cal Training: Leg, Push, Pull, (LISS) Legs A Leg Press 5 X 3-5 HFCLP 1 X Sumo Deadlift 3 X 8-10 Hip Thrust 3 X 15 Split Squat 5 X 8-10 Landmine Squat 5 X 10 Push A Incline Machine Bench 2 + 5 X 5 Seated DB Shoulder Press 2 + 3 X 8-10 Dips 3 X failure Rainbows 5 X 10-12 (each direction) Laying Try Extensions (behind head) 5 X 10-12 Pull A Deadlift 2 + 5 X 5 Deadlift 1 X failure (30% 1RM) Chins or Pulldowns 3 X 8-10 Chest Support Rows 3 X 8-10 Shrugs 5 X 10-12 Cheat Curls 5 X 8-10 Reverse Fly 5 X 8-10 Bicep hang x failure Legs B Squats 5 X 5 Squats 1 X failure (30% 1RM) Leg Press 3 X 8-10 Single Leg Press 3 x 10-12 Hypers 5 X failure Leg Curls 5 X 8-10 Calf Press 5 X 8-10 Push B Overhead Press 5 X 5 Overhead Press 1 X failure (30% 1RM) Incline Bench 3 X 8-10 Close Grip Bench Push 3 X Failure Landmine Press 5 X 8-10 or Cable Crossovers (multi level) 5 X 8-10 Laying Extensions (Arms Back) 5 X 8-10 Standing Laterals 5 X 10-12 Pull B Romanian Deadlift 5 X 5 RDL 1 X failure (30% 1RM) V Pull Down 3 X 8-10 Pull Downs 3 X 8-10 1 Arm Row 5 X 8-10 Hammer Curl 5 X 8-10 Seated Back Fly 5 X 10-12 Note: I try to put something AB based into the end of each workout (gymnast tuck, hanging leg raises, etc) normally 2-3 sets Note: I do 20-45min LISS after each session if I have time (incline treadmill) Note: Each workout is follow by 10-15min of full body stretching Note: Training is 3ON, 1OFF format. Note: If the gym is busy, some exercises that are not BCL might get subbed, or just for a change. I will also change feet or grip placement sometimes just to hit a little different angle. Extras: I am hoping to run a little something extra come March 1: Test (TRT Dose 150mg wk, Mast E 500mg wk, Var 100mg wk) I would stop the proviron during this time. Not also that I run 500ui of HCG Mon, Wed, Fri. Then back to TRT after this little blast is done. Advice I am hoping for: Diet: Any notes about the above. I was considering giving intermittent fasting a go (8/16) by more or less scrapping my first two meals and adding in some extra cals through the day. Training: Thoughts about the above, new program recommendations, etc. Extras: I am open to pretty much anything for the blast, but I am not a fan of overly high doses and this is for a lean out/little recomp. Pics: Ill snap a few "before" photos when I get back from this next business trip as I will be a little extra round then from all the eating out and whiskey. (I do not drink, as Im on TRT, unless I am traveling for work, and its not much) Cheers.

I have to admit bodybuilding have changed how many of you skip legs day? do you remember the mister douche with a great upper buddy with skinny ass legs ...lol genetic is everything I race motocross at young age and still race enduro and mountain sleds for that you need legs! ps: guys woman loveeee big legs I have serious football player at my gym , when uncle jet do is legs they look and say no fucking way this guy is natural love it!

It's not a country wide ban. You can literally go to government websites hit translate and read word for word what it is. Do you think the Chinese versions of Pfizer and Merck just shut down Jan 1? Where are Chinese pharmacies getting their products to fill prescriptions? You think they are importing from the USA lol? Part of the same legislation was to promote the innovation of these Chinese companies to invent new drugs how are they doing that if there is a country wide ban on hormones? China has like 3 human trials going right now for hormonal male birth control - 2 with steroids and 1 with a sarm. Are they abandoning this research?

I never skip leg day, I train them 2x per week and they are my favorite body part to train! I've always been strong and had massive legs even when I was a kid, I had a big butt and people would make fun of me but I just had muscly glutes lol

Mmmm.... I love me some sexy, hairless, chicken-legs - pass the hot sauce

I can see taking a break for healing, then keeping light for a while, but advising you to stop for good sounds fishy. I'd suggest see a sports doc and take it from there.

I have to agree with you. I've read quite a bit myself as I am hoping to make another miniature human sooner than later. HMG and HCG have been run together severe cases of infertility. Definitely an interesting subject that gives hope to many who have done some long term damage to their fertility. Good read on that study also!
