Long Off-Season to Classic D Class Weight Cap

Do you go up one plate at a time to accumulate volume or maybe larger jumps?
I like to get about 2-4 work sets including 1 to failure. I don’t accumulate volume for the sake of volume, as I will usually have 15-25 sets of work depending on body part. I don’t want to get to like 30 haha

On leg press I will go in 50-60kg, starting at 150kg then 200kg, 260kg, 310kg, Romanian deadlifts 40kg increments 100kg-140-180-220kg.

Cable/small machines will the same. Today for example i started at 50% of max (4 square weight plates) then added 2 after I finished each set for a total of 4 sets (2 light, 2 working)
 
Saturday: upper
Weight: 104.5kg/230lbs

Weight is really starting to stabilize nicely. So having less trouble with holding water under my fat and over my muscle. I was super sensitive before, Im still very scared to have a burger or something for a cheat meal after I got an edema last time. Honestly very bad. I didn’t get edema with chicken and rice Thai cheat meal. So I will get something very very clean with my wife for our cheat meal family restaurant meal Sunday.

Sunday: check ins, cardio, posing practice, cheat meal: Cantonese food (dim sum, roast poultry)

Still avoiding very salty things like burgers, reqlly want to keep electrolytes in check, and keep a nice amount of water. I think so far I am managing not bloating on test and eq with no AI well.

Weight:104.2kg. 230lbs
Posing was a pain today. i have shin splints and fucked up my calf in a mosh pit

A evidence by an and thigh gyno survey is almost fully healed. I have to practice getting a good vacuum in

Excellent, you've made a huge leap in quality since working with Luki. I don't seem to have seen it yet, but excuse me, how are you managing your diet and supplementation?

Knowing him, I imagine TD, NTD, and HIGH TD with maybe Lantus?

My diet is basically carb cycle. Training days: High carbs, moderate protein, and minimal fats. Even on my low days we do not put much fat, because I perform much better with carbs on low days to recover, and digestive health is much better. I have some issues with even moderate fats. Right now we do not have High Days, but it will be utilized later.

My supplementation is in several parts: health, digestion and electrolyte/minerals. Of course we have some for muscle building and androgen receptor sensitivity. The list is extensive and I am not going to write it all out hahaha. I will also use glutathione, tb500 bpc as required.
Later we will probably add SLU, and we do not use any GLPs.
If I have severe digestive issues (like illness or from flying on an airplane— sometimes for work I need to travel, or for visiting family) we add something like kefir, and I generally take probiotics or enzymes etc, always Greek yogurt, many types of carbs and fruits, vegetables to make sure my digestion is moving. Of course no overly processed foods etc.

I have some for liver support and so on, some for digestion and because I can have electrolyte imbalances we measure salt and add potassium and magnesium at required amounts. For example on my cut I had severe cramps at one point because my ratio of sodium to potassium was skewed severely, and my potassium intake was too high so we had to begin managing that.

If you are talking about PEDs when you say supplements, I use the same PEDs all the time. Test, eq, ment, to grow, test, mast, tren to cut. Always gh, and hCG since my wife and I may have more kids. Never any orals. Right now no AI, we just have a moderate amount of test and EQ to cover the aromatization.

Insulin currently is just humalog pre workout because my carbs are low, and im fucking starving even when I’m gaining weight. Honestly if I had more insulin I think I would have trouble not eating more than Im supposed to.

Later in off season we add lantus for high days, and I will increase humalog dosage before and after work out to perhaps 8-12iu (so 16-24 total). I think we did 8 last time, maybe 10. Lantus is basically 1iu per 20g carbs. So maybe like 50iu for 1000 carbs. Something like this if I recall correctly, I could be wrong, as this is just from memory.

Thursday: rest
Weight: 105kg/231.5lbs

Deep tissue massage— 2 hours

1 for upper- back, shoulders, triceps, breaking up scar tissue in supraspinatus
1 lower body, hamstrings, shin splints, break up scar tissue in and ventroglutes

I only pin these two locations, as advised to avoid shoulders because scar tissue build up was interfering with my ability to add tissue. After stopping my shoulders basically started growing faster again, not just getting stronger.
For this reason i dont inject to any muscle groups i actively work and am trying to grow. For example i will not pin my quads, or my lats or rear deltoid, and was advised to absolutely never pin my arms because it would ruin the detail, and size is hard to come by due to my bone structure.

Doing massage on VG to work out scar tissue to make sure I can get good striations in glutes without it looking abnormally inflamed on top. I’ve seen some athletes with extremely blown oit VG, and it’s very obvious where the oil is going.
Basically trying to not have any obvious scar tissue and injection sites that get weird shapes,
 
Forgot to mention: carbs are up. Training day is now 680, rest day is now 380.
Even on 4,000 calories I am still struggling not to over eat. I really want more food. It feels like my body wants to grow, I think this time is harder than the cut when it comes to not eating more. Maybe because there is no tren, no fat burners and we added eq— but I feel like my metabolism and hunger is borderline extreme. We even reduced t4 but it feels like the metabolism is like an old train engine constantly requiring more food. I can’t imagine how shit it would be if we still had my prior t4 dosage (it was double what I am using currently)
 
Friday: leg 2
Weight: 104.4kg

So today dumbbell rack was very busy so I went to barbell. Couldnt resist doing a heavier set before going into my higher reps. I still could not train calves because of my shin splints. I also am doing all cardio on bicycle now recently until my shin splints are gone.

All my lifts improved. Even though I didn’t go heavy on RDL in a while, I still hit a PR on that too. Everything is really consistently going up. I really like this hamstring dominant leg day.

Weight stable after adding carbs and leg day.
Making very solid progress in the gym right now. It’s exactly what is expected however Im actually blowing through a lot of PRs earlier than expected. My arms right now are reqlly responding to this program, more so than they have previously; which is good because my triceps particularly are seriously lacking visually due to my insertions and structure

Sunday: check ins fasted
Weight: woke up at 105 6am, 104kg at 8:30 am before going to take check ins.

Then did some abs, some vacuums. Finished off my weekly cardio.

Will have a cheat meal later— nothing crazy. Either salmon and rice, or some sushi and couple of almonds with honey or something . Just for a change of pace.

what do you categorize as moderate fats?

i do best on 0.5g fat per kg bodyweight aswell, you're defiently looking way more hard, bigger and leaner since last time i was in here
I’d say maybe around 80-100 fat would be moderate. Even around there I had some small digestion trouble, even if my food was low.
.5 per kg sounds pretty reasonable haha
Right now Im at .2-.35g per kg body weight and it’s been good

Thanks bro! That’s the point isn’t it hahaha
 
I’d say maybe around 80-100 fat would be moderate. Even around there I had some small digestion trouble, even if my food was low.
purely nutrition wise i think 0.5g per kg bodyweight is medium.

where you're at is with 0.25-0.35 per kg bw is probably on the lower end

and i think 1g per kg bw is really pushing it high, somewhere 0.6-0.8g per kg bw is high

i push very many farts out above 0.5g per kg so i never go above there i think you and me have same "digestion" problems haha. im 100kg so 50g fats is my max and im even lower in bw because im injured rn
