Journey to the bottom of the food chain; Angus gains 0.33g of muscle!

Don't worry about the weight fluctuations, just make sure you're consistent with your caloric surplus and give it time.

Regarding your split 6 times a week of ppl it would destroy me, be careful with your recovery. Yes i know, if you're in surplus and take gear you can handle it but still, for off season i think less sessions with bigger volume and same intensity is more optimal because you need time to heal and grow. But that's just my opinion, every person is different but in my case I'd do more frequent and smaller sessions while cutting and not in off season.

We're so impatient sometimes, we want it right NOW (at least I am), haha.

Thanks Eddie, this is great advice (like always). You're right; getting too beat up can be a problem, which is why I won't be adding more volume any time soon, I'll simply divide my current volume across 6 days instead of 4, and maybe push a little bit more towards the end of my progress phase when I know I'll have time to relax and recover shortly after.

I'm not as tough as I used to be, I can't mentally handle too high of a work load per muscle in one session, it really affects the rest of my day. I just do better on smaller, more frequent sessions.

I gotta say though when I switched from a bro split to PPL the first time I was so beat up after 2 weeks I was going to switch back; I eventually adapted, and I do enjoy doing less volume per muscle but more frequently as it allows me to get more quality work in. I feel that as of right now 12 sets is plenty.

I can always change things if I find it to be too hard to recover from (nothing is set in stone), so I'll definitely be on the lookout for any signs of impaired recovery.

it depends on volume, i do a bro split with medium volume right now 8 days on 1 rest day.

DOUBLE UPDATE, 14&15/05/2025
Bodyweight at 79.95Kg, FBG at 90

Photo updates, current condition (dirty bathroom mirror edition)

You can kinda see my umbilical hernia here, under my forearm. Anyways, looking a little fluffy but I actually looked noticeably leaner yesterday.

Late updates
Had a busy day yesterday; I missed my doctor's appointment due to extreme traffic conditions cause by Trump & the world leaders gang, lol. Authorities basically blocked all exists leading to certain vital roads which caused an extreme congestion throughout the city, ah well. Next appointment rescheduled 2 weeks from now.

Had a GREAT pull session yesterday

Pull B

Neutral grip pulldown x2
Neutral grip seated row x2
Strap pullover x2

SUPER
Reverse pec deck x6
Seated cable shrug x6

Machine preacher curl x3
Cross body dumbbell curl x3

Leg raises x1
Forgot to do crunches and planks

30 minutes Z2

Insulin update
Went hypo during my post meal, at 11ius Humalog (BG dipped to 40).

Today
I received my Element 26 early yesterday so I was pretty excited to try this out during training; it's a flexible belt used by many crossfitters for Olympic lifts. Actually really enjoyed it today during legs; I'll be using these on leg days from here on.

Breakfast
These were from the same batch I made last time, I'm going to be making these using oat flour for my next batch, though

Funny is despite this meal being very high in carbs my peak never actually goes beyond 120. Probably because I take Dihydroberberine with my first and last meals. Also, DELICIOUS.

Pre
The usual CoR.

My digestion has been SO MUCH better recently, probably because my body has settled into 4mg of Retatrutide.

Training
Legs B

The plan was to do 15-20 reps on everything today (well, by everything I mean quads). Worked out pretty nicely; crazy pump, but my legs gave in pretty fast, haha. I'll be adding 5lbs to my current 20 reps next session. I also started with leg extensions this time to warm my quads up a bit better.

Leg extension x2
Leg press x2
Hack squat x2 (decided to try these out after my sets of 20s, just watch my legs have a seizure at the end on a measly 1 plate, LOL)

Leg curl x3

Seated leg curl x3

Dropped RDLs for today to allow my tennis elbow to heal more

SUPER
Calf raises on the leg press (bent knees) x6
Abductor machine x3 (less volume this week in anticipation of DOMS) x3

Leg raises x1
Ab mat crunches x1
Plank x1

30 minutes Z2 (been watching a show called Ishura, pretty nice).

You guys believe me if I said I never tried blueberries on my oatmeal before? They tasted pretty good! Added a handful on top of my cranberries.

Insulin update 2
Went hypo at 10iu, again, but this time with slightly better BG (60), I'll be dropping down to 9ius next time. Reta is really messing with my ratios, lol.

SHICKEN

Delicious.

Update on pens
Those pens have been great, but I must say the plunger isn't as effortless of a push as a regular insulin pin. I kinda bent my 8mm pen needle pushing HGH into my quads.

That's such a bummer, man. Does your hurt? I don't even feel mine (as you can see it's very small), so my surgeon recommended that I don't actually do the surgery until it turns into a problem; he said many people have stable hernias that they live with for years.

I'll definitely be getting the surgery maybe after this progress phase, though (I have the way it looks, makes me look fat).

I wish you a speedy recovery, man. Please do let me know how it all goes! I'm very interested in your journey/recovery.

also the problem according to my dr is that "it could become entangled around your cord" and cause real problems, so i will definitely be getting the surgery, damn i have alot going on atm and its nothing positive unfortunately as far as injuries,, Getting old sucks when you have lived such a reckless life in the past,, "Adapt and overcome",, lol

You'll overcome this brother, it''s just a hiccup.

Updating your thread with an update: Back on my CoR grind because of you.

Welcome to team BABY FOOD ONLY! Haha. Try this:

75g CoR (or grind your own rice, it's cheaper and better)
110g banana (or a medium)
Tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp sugar/sweetener equivalent
5g Maple syrup
1/4 + 1/8 tsp salt
300ml liquid of choice (milk is best)

All in a blender, blend until it's all liquid then toss in a sauce pan and cook until it thickens up (it takes a few minutes, be patient), or you can do the microwave.

Once done squirt some honey on top and enjoy (you can also do berries on top to garnish).

It's SO GOOD. I personally rather drink my protein on the side than put it in my oats or CoR and make it taste funky.

 

[Vanargandar]

I'm definitely going to give it a try (have my wife make it for me). Also, 100% agree, I tried mixing my protein with my CoR in the past, but I just prefer drinking it on the side - CoR tastes better plus I feel like I'm "eating more".

EDIT: Do you just take 75g of rice and blend it, I'm assuming?

EDIT: Do you just take 75g of rice and blend it, I'm assuming?

Yes! But I do it in bulk to save time (I have a 1kg jar of pre-blended Calrose rice). You'll love it.

I won't be pre-blending anymore, though. Blending the rice in with the liquid kind of adds a rice milk-ish flavor (same with oats) and makes for a creamier CoR, I feel. Plus, it doesn't take anymore effort.

so you can just throw your " whole rice unground" into the blender with all ingredients and just blend? Then add blended mix to saucepan and cook?

Yes! Medium heat and stir every few to keep clumps from forming and it’ll start thickening once the milk boils, keep stirring after until desired consistency is achieved, but keep in mind it will thicken more once in a bowl

Recap of week 5 & start of a new week, 18/05/2025
Bodyweight at 80.25Kg

Woke up with a FBG of 96, which is really good for the morning after "cheat day"; I'm fairly sleepy so I'll keep this relatively short.

Recap of week 5

Weight going up steadily, and FBG is at a reasonable level, especially given how many carbs I'm eating everyday.

Eats from Friday

Two shawermas drenched in tahini sauce and pomegranate molasses, plus 5 "beef plates" and a side of fries. I also had a Chocolate Dough protein bar which tasted CRAZY GOOD.

Saturday, day 01 of week 6
Started the day off with my usual banana blueberry pancakes, except I made these using oat flour yesterday

Not as good as pancakes made with white flour, 5/10 would not make again.

Pre

160g of carbs, 10iu of Humalog; I feel much better on 10 than I did on 12.

Training
Push A

Machine incline chest press x2
Machine flat chest press x2
Pec deck x2

Overhead barbell press x3
EZ bar underhand front raises x3

Machine laterals x6

Tricep pushdowns w/ viking strap x3

Skin splitting pumps; I wasn't as strong today but I had a GREAT workout.

No abs, little cramping due to morning "activities".

Post

Oatmeal, 150g carbs, 9iu Humalog, didn't go hypo today. Sticking to 9iu for my post-workout from here in.

Daily shicken

Gear update
Shipping company sent me an email saying they were unable to retrieve my package, and to send them an invoice of my stuff so that I can be fully compensated; here's to hoping it all goes smoothly and I get my money back

Good news: received Reta 30mg from SSA today, possibly more stuff tomorrow!

W6D2, 18/05/2025
Bodyweight at 80.25Kg

Took some fish oil yesterday (I never take fish oil because I messed me up) and my HR was up 10 points during sleep; sleep wasn't the best. I always get similar symptoms even with the lowest doses of fish oil, it's possible that I'm either allergic to something in these or I have some kind of gene mutation that stresses my body out when exposed to fish oils.

Package update

More Ivabradine on the way! Should get it today, hopefully. Also, shipping company received invoice so the compensation process should start soon (I hope).

HGH pen update
I keep bending these 8mm needles when trying to do IM in my thighs, and at this point I'm really worried one is going to BREAK in my leg during an injection; seriously considering going back to doing SC shots. The pens are more convenient, but not as good for HGH IM shots, unfortunately.

Anyways, I woke up with absolutely no appetite today; I just didn't want to eat, but I did.

This is what's left of that oatmeal pancake batch I made before

It tasted surprisingly good this time (not as good as ones made with regular flour), unlike last time, DESPITE being from the same batch...

Pre
Still no appetite; had to kind of force this down, but CoR digests so that it wasn't that bad...

Same recipe I outlined above; all blended together first

Perfect consistency, took around 3-4 minutes

Little bit of date syrup and some jam cakes

160g carbs, 10iu of Humalog, THIRD PEN ALREADY

Training
Pull A

Neutral grip pulldown x2

Neutral grip seated row x2

Strap pullover x2

Machine preacher curl x3
Seated concentration dumbbell curl x3

150g carbs, 9iu Humalog (BG down to 72 at the 2hr mark, I was fine though, might push down to 8 tomorrow, or not)

Had chicken for my last meal.

W6D3, 19/05/2025
Bodyweight at 80.90Kg

Late night picture, 3 meals in, feelin' THICK.

Woke up relatively early today which is a good thing; I'd rather get in and out of the gym before traffic peak. My vacation starts this week so I'll have plenty of time to catch up on sleep and recover.

Also, I'll be visiting my parents in a couple of weeks and staying with them for the next 8 weeks after that, which will come with its own set of challenges (as far the my current protocols go), mainly around insulin use.

Diet thoughts
I have been thinking about how my diet includes a LOT of very high GI meals with very little fats to slow and even things out a bit, which probably makes for BG peaks that are higher than they should be, etc.

Now; I have tested most of my meals at the 1 hour mark and I almost never break the 120 point regardless of carb intake, but I would rather keep my insulin sensitivity as high as it can possibly be throughout this growth phase.

In other words, I'm thinking of adding 10g of healthy fats to each of my 3 meals (not counting pre workout, don't feel I need it there), to mellow out the blood sugar curve even more, this means removing around 65g of carbs, approximatly.

Is it a good idea? I don't know yet. First and last meals aren't so close to insulin window so that's really not a cause for concern, and I doubt adding 10g of fat from nuts to my oats post workout will have any negative consequences as far as fat gain is concerned, lol .

I'm probably worrying about things that absolutely do not matter in the grand scheme of things (something I do a lot).

Insulin
Current protocl is 10iu Humalog Pre, and 8iu post. I feel best on this (nearly 0 chance of hypoglycemia).

More Ivabradine!

Yum, I have an entire box of these bad boys at the moment (currently at 35 box, I need 10 more and that should last me 3 years/3 growth phases + rest).

Peptide pens
I'm really not a fan of these for HGH, to be honest (mainly because I do IM)... BUT! Someone in the pen thread found these bad boys

https://ar.aliexpress.com/item/1005008054211485.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2ara

And they look like they're everything I'm looking for! One press auto injects at a constant speed which is excellent because the jittery motion of my hand pressing 50 units through a hard plunger (the Ergo II pens aren't the smoothest) ends up bending those 8mm needles. Every.Freakin'.Time.

I'm terrified of breaking one into my thigh at some point.

Tennis elbow, plan of attack
As you guys know I've been battling this for a few months now, and it's not getting ANY better. I stumbled upon this today

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aICgYO0Hkf0


Tried it out and it gave me INSTANT relief. I'll be doing these plus Theraband everyday and hopefully that'll do the trick. I also started using this bad boy on my forearms yesterday, it does a pretty good job

Fingers crossed.

ANYWAYS!

Cereal for breakfast, with a little bit of honey

160g carbs

Pre
My usual CoR recipe. I actually forgot to put sugar in this and it surprisingly tasted pretty nice (I did add the sugar after 2 bites).

10iu Humalog

Training
Legs A

Had a great leg workout today.

SUPER
Seated leg curls x3

Leg extensions x3

These got me pretty warmed up with I liked, a LOT.

Leg press x2 (sets of 20) (felt amazing because I was pretty warmed up)
Hack Squat x2

I'm toast after these hack Squats but I was able to do a bit more than last time today, probably need a few more sessions to get up there in weight on these. Just watch my legs shake, lol.

Leg curl x3

I find that keeping my feet in dorsiflexion during these really does keep my knees well protected; if I don't dorsiflex they start to pop and move at the bottom of the range of motion.

Also, something amazing happened today; in this video (the original) two guys were recorded talking about me (they didn't see my phone).. first guy said hey bro look at that guy, goddamn those legs! Gave me somewhat of an ego erection, haha.

Calf raises on the leg press x6
Abductor machine x3

Ab mat crunches x2
Plank x1

30 minutes Z2

Post

150g carbs, 8iu Humalog, not hypo or close to it today.

Chicken
Those garlic and honey butter spices are pure shit. Never using them again (I had to re-season the chicken). I also had a sourdough slice with honey.

 

[FuriousAngus]

W6D5, 21/05/2025
Bodyweight at 80.50Kg

Quick recap on what happened yesterday
Decided to add some fats to my pre-workout meal; BG spike/peak probably happened later than usual which resulted in me going slightly hypo at the 1 hour mark (as soon as I stepped into the gym).

I started drinking my intra and relaxed for 10 minutes and did my workout (push B), ended up having an AMAZING session, lol (PRs all over). No more fats for me, nah.

Today
Woke up early and fixed me some cinnamon apple pancakes! Those are absolutely delicious (but I still prefer the banana variation)

I have also been doing some testing; same exact meal w/o a 10 minute walk would put my BG at 135-145 at the 1 hour mark (baseline at 120 minutes), but with a measly 10 minute mark BG goes down all the way to 105-115 at 60 minutes, which is absolutely amazing. I don't do this when taking Humalog because I don't want to mess with things.

Also, I decided to get rid of the rice cake w/ jam and just pump CoR/Oatmeal meals to 100g, less sugar that way.

Pre

160g carbs, 10iu Humalog

Training
Pull B

Goddamn my arms are getting THICKER.

Had a BLAST today; stuff I've been doing for my tennis elbow seem to be working, and on top of that I did NOT aggravate my injury any further today.

Cross body machine pulldowns x2

Single arm standing machine row x2 (those felt really good)

Strap pullovers x2

Single arm strap curls (strap hooked to forearm and not hand, gave me a NASTY pump and 0 pain) x3
EZ bar curls x3

SUPER
Reverse pec deck x6

Seated cable shrugs x6

30 minutes Z2 bike, followed by a locker's picture of my current back condition since I haven't posted back in a while

Feels like I'm getting much, much thicker all over



Post

100g of oats, about 150g carbs total (from the whole meal), 8iu Humalog

Had chicken sammiches for my last meal, the usual.

Legs tomorrow!

Bodyweight at 81.05Kg OFFICIALLY HIT EIGHTY ONE KILO JRAM GUYS

Sleep wasn't the best last night; I kept tossing and turning for some time. Also, I've been using these nasal breathing strips and while they do allow me to breathe better, I feel that they're really messing with my throat/giving me a dry throat.

Breakfast (leftover apple pancakes from last time)

Even more delicious than the first batch, not sure why but I'm seeing a pattern here.

Pre

This bowl keeps getting bigger; probably end up eating two bowls by the time I'm 100kg, lol. 160g/10iu Humalog

Training
Legs B

Had a great workout today (for the most part)

Superset
Seated leg curls x3

Leg extensions x3

Leg press x2 (sets of 20)

Hack squat x2 (still adding weight, but maybe I'll actually stop and start doing 20s on these as well)

This is the first set. During my second set I set my foot a bit higher on the platform and I guess that caused way too much knee torque I could feel my knee cap going PLEASE STOP within the first inch of descending, so I stopped. Unfortunately, I was too late; my left knee is all inflamed now, but hopefully it'll calm down by my new leg session. I was able to do my Z2 cardio without issues, so hopefully it's not TOO bad.

Lying leg curl x3

Calf raises on the leg press x6

Abductor machine x3 (will be adding more sets next week)

30 minutes Z2

Ab mat crunches x2
Plank x1

Went for sour cherries today, definitely a good choice. 8iu Humalog

Off day tomorrow; not sure if I want shawerma drenched in pomegranate molasse or some smash burgers...
