Training for this week (Some weeks I will go lower reps, heavier weight &amp; I often switch the entire workout around, switching the days I hit muscles on, or adding and subtracting various exercise: example some weeks Iâll deadlift, but every week Iâll squat).  I was using macrocycles that Dr. Stoppani talks about, but I found that my body seems to respond better in the 10-12 rep range. Also, I spent a lot of time doing rest pause, drop sets, etc.  However, I have not been using those much lately.  <br />

Diet log for today and every day recently<br />
<br />
Meal 1<br />
[INDENT]Multi Vitamin<br />
	<br />
MuscleTech - Platinum 100% Fish Oil: 9 cals.	1 fat,<br />
	<br />
Kelloggâs â Unfrosted Mini Wheats: 2 servings: 362 cals, 80- carbs, Fat 2 g,  6 protein<br />
<br />
Milk - Reduced fat, 2% milkfat, 1 cup: 121 cals, 11 carbs, 5 fats, 8 protein<br />
<br />
Dymatize Nutrition - Isoâ¢100 2 Scoop: 208 cals, 2 carbs, o fat, 50 protein<br />
[/INDENT]<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Total: 700 cals, 93 carbs, 8 fats, 64 protein</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Another Scoop of Dymatize Nutrition - Isoâ¢100 2 Scoop: 109 calories, 1 carbs, o fat, 25 protein<br />
<br />
<br />
Meal two, three, four and five are all the same (Except for the four and five get no olive oil and I use chicken instead of beef) <br />
<br />
[INDENT]Kraft - mozzerella part skim 2%, 0.25 cup: 72.5 cals, 1 carbs, 4.5 fat, 7 protein<br />
	<br />
Extra Virgin Olive Oil , .5 tbsp: 63 cals, o carbs, 7 fats, 	   <br />
	<br />
Baby Carrots, 1.5 oz: 20 cals, 4 carbs, 0 fat, 1 protein<br />
	<br />
Broccoli - Raw, 1.5 oz(s): 16 cals, 3 carbs, 0 fat, 1 protein<br />
<br />
Brown Rice Â¼  Cup: 95 cals, 19.5 carbs, 1 fat, 2 protein<br />
			<br />
Lean ground beef, 2 ounces: 84 cals, 0 carbs, 4 fat, 12 protein, <br />
	<br />
Xl Egg, 1 each	: 73 calories, 0 carbs, 5 fats, 7 protein<br />
<br />
Black Beans â no salt added Â¼ cup: 64.5 cals, 11.5 carbs, .5 fat, 3.5 protein		<br />
[/INDENT]<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Total: 488 cals, 39 carbs, 22 fat, 33.5 protein</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Times this by four, except for the fats, which is minus the olive oil from two meals (I also base the calorie calculation of the macros, and not what the food is listed as, because they hardly ever seem to match. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">1826 cals, 156 carbs, 74 fats, 134 protein</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Snacks usually placed in-between meals, and cottage cheese is last meal of the day </span><br />
<br />
2 cup Egg Whites (sometimes cooked in olive oil, sometimes added to shakes): 208 cals, 0 fats, 52 protein<br />
<br />
Cottage Cheese, fat free: 80 calories, 5 carbs, o fats, 15 protein<br />
<br />
Two Apples: 112 cals, 28 carbs<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Total: 3030, calories, 285 carbs, 82 fats, 288 protein </span>   <br />
<br />
I think the math works.  The Diet App I use can get things wrong sometimes, so I base things off of the 4/4/9 rule on Carbs, Protein, and Fat. <br />
<br />
Iâm actually aiming for 3000 calories a day, at 40/40/20.  I used to eat more, around 3500, but I seemed to gain body much fat faster by doing so.<br />
<br />
Also, since I started my cycle of test e, does anyone think that I should increase my food intake?]]></description>

Diet log for today and every day recently<br />
<br />
Meal 1<br />
[INDENT]Multi Vitamin<br />
	<br />
MuscleTech - Platinum 100% Fish Oil: 9 cals.	1 fat,<br />
	<br />
Kelloggâs â Unfrosted Mini Wheats: 2 servings: 362 cals, 80- carbs, Fat 2 g,  6 protein<br />
<br />
Milk - Reduced fat, 2% milkfat, 1 cup: 121 cals, 11 carbs, 5 fats, 8 protein<br />
<br />
Dymatize Nutrition - Isoâ¢100 2 Scoop: 208 cals, 2 carbs, o fat, 50 protein<br />
[/INDENT]<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Total: 700 cals, 93 carbs, 8 fats, 64 protein</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Another Scoop of Dymatize Nutrition - Isoâ¢100 2 Scoop: 109 calories, 1 carbs, o fat, 25 protein<br />
<br />
<br />
Meal two, three, four and five are all the same (Except for the four and five get no olive oil and I use chicken instead of beef) <br />
<br />
[INDENT]Kraft - mozzerella part skim 2%, 0.25 cup: 72.5 cals, 1 carbs, 4.5 fat, 7 protein<br />
	<br />
Extra Virgin Olive Oil , .5 tbsp: 63 cals, o carbs, 7 fats, 	   <br />
	<br />
Baby Carrots, 1.5 oz: 20 cals, 4 carbs, 0 fat, 1 protein<br />
	<br />

	<br />
Xl Egg, 1 each	: 73 calories, 0 carbs, 5 fats, 7 protein<br />
<br />
Black Beans â no salt added Â¼ cup: 64.5 cals, 11.5 carbs, .5 fat, 3.5 protein		<br />
[/INDENT]<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Total: 488 cals, 39 carbs, 22 fat, 33.5 protein</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Times this by four, except for the fats, which is minus the olive oil from two meals (I also base the calorie calculation of the macros, and not what the food is listed as, because they hardly ever seem to match. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">1826 cals, 156 carbs, 74 fats, 134 protein</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Snacks usually placed in-between meals, and cottage cheese is last meal of the day </span><br />
<br />
2 cup Egg Whites (sometimes cooked in olive oil, sometimes added to shakes): 208 cals, 0 fats, 52 protein<br />
<br />
Cottage Cheese, fat free: 80 calories, 5 carbs, o fats, 15 protein<br />
<br />
Two Apples: 112 cals, 28 carbs<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Total: 3030, calories, 285 carbs, 82 fats, 288 protein </span>   <br />
<br />
I think the math works.  The Diet App I use can get things wrong sometimes, so I base things off of the 4/4/9 rule on Carbs, Protein, and Fat. <br />
<br />
Iâm actually aiming for 3000 calories a day, at 40/40/20.  I used to eat more, around 3500, but I seemed to gain body much fat faster by doing so.<br />
<br />
Also, since I started my cycle of test e, does anyone think that I should increase my food intake?]]></content:encoded>

I have done the workout pretty successfully, going from about 166 when I first wake up in the morning to 181. I definitely look and feel bigger and have increased all of my lifts every workout till recently. I just hit a plateau this past A workout on the shoulder press and am stuck at 95 for six, so close to 7. But my pull down exercise has still increased to 170 which is up from 160 the week before. Anyway, I am mostly concerned with keeping this muscle after I am finished (trying to get to 190 but may stop after 185 as I am already eating enough to where I feel sick sometimes). I would like to shed maybe a LITTLE bodyfat after, but mostly keep my muscle I've gained. I find eating this way to be a little pricey for my budget, and it is uncomfortable eating so much for so long. How do I keep the muscle while reducing the amount I eat? Is that possible? Would creatine help? What should my routine look like after dropping Occam's Protocol? I'm kind of just wondering where to go from here routine and diet wise.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Right here goes . . . my first test e cycle . . .<br />
<br />
This first post is a bit of a book, but after today they'll be down to a few paragraphs!<br />
<br />
Bit of background first. I'm fifty two, been training for about thirty years, mainly for general fitness rather than size etc.<br />
<br />
My intention is to run 400mls per week of Test E for 12 weeks and see how it goes. I'm not so concerned with putting on as much size as I can, at this stage I'm just trying to regain and maybe surpass what I had twenty years ago. <br />
<br />
I have my training cycle all sorted and to be honest, it isn't really much different to the cycles I do generally. I usually train two days on, a day off, two days on and then two off, but if I feel I'm overdoing it or work gets in the way and I need an extra day I'll take one. Tempting though it is to train more often when I'm feeling good I try not to as it usually catches up eventually.<br />
<br />
Even though I'm (almost) doing the generally accepted beginners cycle I still intend it to be a personal experiment. By that I mean I'm not going to get carried away and add more test, nor add anything else. That said, I have Arimidex to use on cycle and Nolvadex to use for PCT. I won't touch clomid as my eyes are blurry enough as it is! <br />
<br />
Any suggestions are more than welcome, but please don't be offended if I don't take any/all advice offered. There are so many different opinions that to do as everyone suggest is impossible. I reached the decision to run 400ml per week as a result of suggestions and research. At my age I need to keep an eye on sides more than most, so until I know how I react I won't be adding more test.<br />
<br />
The reason this post is a bit of a book is because I'll have to back date a bit here because I did my first pin on 5th June so I'll start my log then, even though I've been following my present training cycle since early May.<br />
<br />
I cracked a rib about three months ago and wasn't able to train - not properly anyway - for about 5 weeks, so when I resumed training I trained hard and ate too much. During that time I put on about 8lbs, some muscle, some not. <br />
<br />
I've posted a few times about reducing carbs to lose fat and I usually follow a fairly low carb diet, anything between 80g to 200g daily. But not for those 5 weeks though! Why don't I take my own advice!!! I was eating more like 400g daily and boy does it show. My point is that since a week before my first pin I've cut back on the carbs to my usual average of about 100g daily and I don't seem to losing much weight (although I don't feel as fat or bloated). I need to find the magic point at which I can gain muscle without getting fat, so until that happens I won't be eating like a ravenous pig.<br />
<br />
Enough of that. Here's my log . . .<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">5th June</span><br />
</span><br />
I posted a thread about my first pin so I won't go on about it too much here. Let's just say that I squirted a tiny amount (20ml of test) in my outer quad just to make sure it wasn't some sort of deadly poison and then pinned another 200ml the following day.<br />
<br />
I didn't train today for various reasons. I feel I should add that I had followed my routine right up until 4th June, so inadvertently I'm treating these following few days of no training as a well earned break.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">8th June</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Chest Workout - Home Gym<br />
</span>I'm following the rep routine as suggested by CC (can't remember where offhand). I've never done it this way before but after translating the suggested percentages to different exercises I've found that I hit the perfect weight. I'll be honest, I don't understand the science behind it etc but it seems to work!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Flat Bench Olympic Bar Bench Press<br />
</span>3 warm up sets of 10, 2 and 2 reps<br />
3 sets of 6, 7 and 7 reps<br />

Again, the final rep of each working set was just about all I could push.<br />
<br />
And then loads of dumbbell and hammer curls<br />
<br />
I also pinned 175ml of test. That should have been 200ml but I read the syringe wrong. We live and learn.<br />
<br />
A quick word on the after effects of pinning. I wouldn't call it pain as such but for about three days after each one it feels as though I've been deadlegged.<br />

No workout but when I got home I pinned another 200ml. This time it was a bit of a comedy drama. Did all the usual things . . . warmed the oil, cleaned the vial, big needle to draw, small needle to inject, cleaned my quad, stuck the needle in, aspirated, no blood and slowly squeezed til the bubble of air goes in, leave it there for a bit and pull out. And then blood started coming out. Not loads, but enough to have me shitting myself coz I had nothing to stop the flow or clean up the mess!!! To cut a long story short I used my finger (not on the pin site) to clean it off my leg and rather than wipe it on my shirt I licked my finger clean - a few times, yuk! Then I worried about the health benefits of drinking test e, coz the blood tasted quite oily. Ice cream definitely tastes nicer! Anyway, I got away with it. I'm still here two days later and I've added some cotton wool and some much larger wipes to my little secret box of tricks that I keep in my little secret hiding place.<br />
<br />
While driving around the following day I felt a small lump where I'd pinned. When I was finally able to have a look without scaring any passing women and children all I saw was a bruise. I presume this is where the blood has spread just under the skin where I pinned. It doesn't hurt and to be honest the dead leg feeling this time is much less than he first two goes (I don&#8217;t really count pinning 80mls of oil with a dribble of test as a <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">go!</span>).<br />

Worked all day yesterday and then after a few hours break worked all night. I'm working tonight again, so this is one of those occasions where I'll take an extra day off. Leg day has been put back til tomorrow.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Right here goes . . . my first test e cycle . . .<br />
<br />
This first post is a bit of a book, but after today they'll be down to a few paragraphs!<br />
<br />
Bit of background first. I'm fifty two, been training for about thirty years, mainly for general fitness rather than size etc.<br />
<br />
My intention is to run 400mls per week of Test E for 12 weeks and see how it goes. I'm not so concerned with putting on as much size as I can, at this stage I'm just trying to regain and maybe surpass what I had twenty years ago. <br />
<br />
I have my training cycle all sorted and to be honest, it isn't really much different to the cycles I do generally. I usually train two days on, a day off, two days on and then two off, but if I feel I'm overdoing it or work gets in the way and I need an extra day I'll take one. Tempting though it is to train more often when I'm feeling good I try not to as it usually catches up eventually.<br />
<br />
Even though I'm (almost) doing the generally accepted beginners cycle I still intend it to be a personal experiment. By that I mean I'm not going to get carried away and add more test, nor add anything else. That said, I have Arimidex to use on cycle and Nolvadex to use for PCT. I won't touch clomid as my eyes are blurry enough as it is! <br />
<br />
Any suggestions are more than welcome, but please don't be offended if I don't take any/all advice offered. There are so many different opinions that to do as everyone suggest is impossible. I reached the decision to run 400ml per week as a result of suggestions and research. At my age I need to keep an eye on sides more than most, so until I know how I react I won't be adding more test.<br />
<br />
The reason this post is a bit of a book is because I'll have to back date a bit here because I did my first pin on 5th June so I'll start my log then, even though I've been following my present training cycle since early May.<br />
<br />
I cracked a rib about three months ago and wasn't able to train - not properly anyway - for about 5 weeks, so when I resumed training I trained hard and ate too much. During that time I put on about 8lbs, some muscle, some not. <br />
<br />
I've posted a few times about reducing carbs to lose fat and I usually follow a fairly low carb diet, anything between 80g to 200g daily. But not for those 5 weeks though! Why don't I take my own advice!!! I was eating more like 400g daily and boy does it show. My point is that since a week before my first pin I've cut back on the carbs to my usual average of about 100g daily and I don't seem to losing much weight (although I don't feel as fat or bloated). I need to find the magic point at which I can gain muscle without getting fat, so until that happens I won't be eating like a ravenous pig.<br />
<br />
Enough of that. Here's my log . . .<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">5th June</span><br />
</span><br />
I posted a thread about my first pin so I won't go on about it too much here. Let's just say that I squirted a tiny amount (20ml of test) in my outer quad just to make sure it wasn't some sort of deadly poison and then pinned another 200ml the following day.<br />
<br />
I didn't train today for various reasons. I feel I should add that I had followed my routine right up until 4th June, so inadvertently I'm treating these following few days of no training as a well earned break.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">8th June</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Chest Workout - Home Gym<br />
</span>I'm following the rep routine as suggested by CC (can't remember where offhand). I've never done it this way before but after translating the suggested percentages to different exercises I've found that I hit the perfect weight. I'll be honest, I don't understand the science behind it etc but it seems to work!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Flat Bench Olympic Bar Bench Press<br />
</span>3 warm up sets of 10, 2 and 2 reps<br />
3 sets of 6, 7 and 7 reps<br />
The final rep of each working set was just about all I could push. No rest/pause, drop sets or assistance just yet.<br />
