AMH_Power said:Just thought I'd share something that may be of value. I've never taken anything along the lines of hormones etc with the exception of prednisolone for severe hay fever. Anyway... When I returned to training following a tear in the artery in my neck, I was just feeling down and depressed all the time; and put it down to side effects of having a stroke etc. Anyway, I got a blood test just in case. It came back at 12.1 nmol and 98 pnol for oestradiol; which from my understanding is on the lower side, but not TRT low low. A second test about 9 weeks later was 11.9, so wasn't a single bad test from sleep or stress etc. Anyway, I made some adjustments/habits/supplement changes: Fadogia Aggrestis: 800mg a day. Turkesterone: 1000mg a day. Tongkat Ali: 400mg a day. 8 hours sleep, religiously. Blast my balls with cold shower water 2x a day. Anyway, my last hormone test was 24.6nmol testosterone and 82pmol for oestradiol. I went on to bench 250kg and right now, probably the strongest I've ever been @37 and suffering some mega set backs. I don't doubt there's a mix and match of placebo/nocebo/actual change from the above, but even if one of them makes a difference, I'll remain as is. I'd exhaust this before making a leap into a hole without a ladder! Heard a lot about Fadogia and Tongkat - however wary of poor quality products - what brand/where do you get from mate? | |||

Ive seen a few on Amazon for around £100 (support up to 250KG) that might be fine but i wont want anythign too wobbly. I deally it needs to go low enough to bench and also to be abel to floorpress in an ideal world Any specific suggestions | |||

How do you handle this? Do you enforce a deload week on a schedule/routine? What does it look like? Can you "deload" from powerlifing type work and push hard on other work? i.e. do some biceps etc for somethign to do | |||

AMH_Power said: 16 total sets in the session divided down by the exercise types... The division allocation depends on the block. A typical week for me may look like: Mon: squat Tue: bench Wed: dead Thu: bench Fri: squat Sat: bench Sun: rest Obviously the following week be starting with dead. I literally toggle upper/lower and just rotate through my exposures. 16 sets was just an example, but some of my lifters (for example, Kieran Grey) does more despite being heavy and advanced. Frequency may influence the sets. I'd look at historic training to get a gauge. Keep in mind, GPE slots count, despite usually having a different fatigue. The other 3 classes will typically share fatigue. Ok so ignoring the number of sets - is their guidance to how often/how to schedule in the 3 lifts? or am i missing? | |||

Am I reading this correct that for Bench that would be roughly 16 sets 3 times a week in your example. Are Deads and Squat the same programming - so would be potentially 48 sets a session x 3 times a week? Im probably completely misunderstanding | |||
» compression shorts? (Go to post) | 12-01-2022 @ 09:21 | ||
Interesting and expensive but these look designed to give rebound as well as compression | |||
» compression shorts? (Go to post) | 11-01-2022 @ 13:36 | ||
Are these any good for squatting in and recovery or waste of time - I usualy have loose underarmour shorts or similar? Any recommended? | |||
