Don’t call it a comeback

[Worf]

Damn man, you’re going throwing it right now. My friend had a bladder infection received and had to have gal stones removed. He’s been a wreck, lost a bunch of weight and just got back to training. He said his strength is terrains all
His joints hurt

Did they cut him open? I was like that last year when they took my actual Gal Bladder out...shit was terrible. Luckily for me, they did an endoscopy procedure this time, and were able to remove everything orally...my throat has been sore for 3 days, but that’s a small price to pay to not be cut open again. Apart from the unwanted 3 day fast, I feel better than I’ve felt in about 8 months...At one point, I thought it was the AAS, but my doses have been so low that it was nearly impossible. It got to the point about 3 months ago that I was in constant throbbing pain at the same place where it was before my surgery, which made no sense (not enough for the hospital, but enough for a shit ton of excedrin every day)...finally it got so bad my wife forced me to go in, and they found a bunch more stones and “sludge” that crystallized inside the stent they left, which prevented my stomach from making bile...fun times. After that’s been removed, the difference is night and day.

No they went through his pee hole? I think. Same thing as you “build up” caused stones to get stuck. Let out a half gal of brown piss when they cathed him. Fuck that noise man. I’d rather jump off a ship

Fuck man! I hated having a catheter the one time I needed it, I can’t imagine getting surgery THROUGH my dick...These types of things are no joke tho.

I’d probably pass out at the thought when it’s mentioned—no need for anesthesia lol

Hammer Curl

40 x12, 10

25 x25, 15

-These start to hurt my wrists when I go heavier. Might have to find an alternative

Try Pinwheel curls see if that works better for you. Basically hammer curl across your body, outside to inside

Body comp / cycle update: Once this EQ is done, I’ll be adding Tren @400-600 + Var @50mg to help speed things up. Looking at 210-220 before August. I’ll then take Sept-Nov off and cruise while eating maintenance, until Dec, where I’ll start a proper bulk (Deca + mast). Gonna try to stay as lean as possible while bulking. Gonna try to go 20 weeks and switch training up back to conjugate and get some strength back.

-Physique: DYEL? Things really are looking good now. I can’t do much for the loose skin, but god damn my arms have actually grown on 200 Tren 100-200 test, while in a deficit. Seeing a lot of vascularity in my arms that I’ve never seen before. Feels good bros.

Big changes brother
Well done

-Honestly, I’m now sure if my traps / delts are growing right now (??) or just everything is popping out because of the fat loss—I’m ok with it either way.

I find when I cut, I hear the usual "Shit bro, looking bigger" quite often ad opposed to on a steady bulk.

Probably a bit of column A and column B for us gear guys though lol

Makes sense on both accounts. I mean, I’ve been lifting for a while—but legit muscle definition is new to me. Lmao.

I’d say both

-Woke up at 235 today. Feeling good to continue cutting lower...I haven’t really lowered my carbs much at all; in fact I raised them again from 180 > Eating 250g on lift days / 140g on off days. I have to admit tho, i don’t eat the recommended amount of fats on most days (55-70g)...it just doesn’t really fit into my diet. I’m eating 30-40g most days. For being this deep in, I feel really good minus the strength loss.

-had an insane pump. Not sure from what...dips maybe? My biceps are trashed tho.

-Not much volume today. Arms got trashed pretty quickly.

Added conditioning, starting today. I’ll probably end up doing it twice a week—but once a week is good for now.

-Also bought raws for my next 2 cycles and test to cruise. Just hoping that shipping doesn’t take too long.

-Tire flips (about ~400lbs) 6x6
-Battle Ropes 6x30 sec

-4 am starts are taking a toll on me... cutting down the overall volume a bit for now. Still gonna add the conditioning, but session time / volume will have to be reduced to around ~1hr...good thing is that we slow down in the winter, and that’s bulking seasonb.
