    Aside from nutrition and workout programs, what are other reasons of not progressing?

    So here's the thing, had my back workout yesterday, absolutely feeling fantastic after all the advice given here. My back workout had total 15 sets, increased it to 19, feeling so much better, huge pumps, and I always keep a good form. I study exercise education and ex.physiology, a "good" form...

    Aside from nutrition and workout programs, what are other reasons of not progressing?

    Hey Roush, thanks for the reply! :D No, I did not get a full body scan, there's that inaccurate scale, it has a 1-2% deviation, but here's how I know for sure : Strength did not increase, muscle's mass in the mirror did not increase either, I look chubbier, face got fatter and I always end up at...

    Aside from nutrition and workout programs, what are other reasons of not progressing?

    While diet plays a huge role, what are some other factors leading to one's plateau? I spoke with my lecturer who teaches us exercise physiology and he was unable to provide an answer. He told me to consult with an endocrinologist or an urologist. I'm basically stuck at 75kgs. When I ate more...

    Weird Blood Test Result on Test E Cycle

    Just curious, aren't we supposed to check Free Test rather than Total Test? I know someone who claims total test doesn't matter and only free test does, not sure about the difference and why. How much should be TOTAL/FREE test 5 weeks into the first cycle?

    Can you reset your body to need less AAS?

    My workout pal cycles once a year and sees great results, about the same pace as his first's, maybe a bit less but not significantly less. He still cycles 500mg/ew/once-a-year but throws in some other stuff to his cycle so I'm not sure whether it's a combination of everything or just the T that...

    doing only 12 sets just doesn't feel like a real workout.. I feel i'm going allout

    Awesome :D thanks !! I just feel like I won't make any more progress if I stay natty, my free test is only 10ng/dl in a range of 6 to 28, and I'm only 23. Are you natty? 13 sets is what I usually do. Sunday Legs + Shoulders, Monday Back, Thursday Chest. 10-14 sets each muscle group, once a week...

    doing only 12 sets just doesn't feel like a real workout.. I feel i'm going allout

    Alright, cool, thanks for the reply! Was really hoping to hear from you. What split / frequency would you recommend a natty guy to maximize his gains? I stopped gaining muscles at 75kgs, I can easily gain weight, but not muscles, I made it to 80 and even 85 a couple of times, but it was mostly...

    Blood work from First Cycle

    Hey, just a question, my recent blood tests showed 51 hematocrit and my doc said it's alright for people who workout. Is it that bad? Aren't we supposed to have high hematorcrit?

    Does test make you stink? (B.O.)

    I looked up google and didn't find anything related to scent. Perhaps you changed your diet?

    doing only 12 sets just doesn't feel like a real workout.. I feel i'm going allout

    Hey, I'm just curious if you meant, natty bbers or those that hop on a gear. Assuming I'm natty, working each body part once a week, 13 sets ea and still see progress, should I keep the same volume when I hop on a gear?

    doing only 12 sets just doesn't feel like a real workout.. I feel i'm going allout

    I went through the whole thread, can't speak for everybody, but personally working my chest 2x a week led me to no-where. I work it once a week, 13 sets total, and I progress alright (still natty). I actually wonder if I should keep the same workout routine and volume even when I step on a gear.

    First cycle for the new year's eve !!! (Need some info before I begin)

    Lol, I don't know what you guys call that term over there, but it's called "freezing sperm" here. Which means, head to a sperm bank, shoot your load in a cup, and they freeze it for you if anything happens so you can still have babies in the future. Most soldiers here do it. I was thinking to do...

    First cycle for the new year's eve !!! (Need some info before I begin)

    True, nothing fixes a lazy attitude. For me, working out isn't a choice, it's a lifestyle, it's either I do it, or I stop living. I wake up every morning, cook my healthy breakfast, workout, eat, go to work, come home and get my 8 hours of anabolic sleep. I'll try to do the same thing and...

    First cycle for the new year's eve !!! (Need some info before I begin)

    Yeah, I am, you guys do sound like experts with lots of experience ! Appreciate all your help :) Haha, I'm Russian so take it easy on me with the vitamin D. I do supplement with D, latest results showed 34 ng/mL in a range of 20 to 50 ng/mL. Assuming I'm alright. Haha, yeah, I'm sticking with...

    How can I go about asking my physician to send me to the endocrinologist?

    I have no idea what the medical system over there is like, but we get our levels tested without an endoc. I did have a couple of visits in my endoc's office, I asked my doc to set me an appointment with her because I had changed my lifestyle and diet and would like to know how positively or...
