Back to the wagon...

[KngShisa]

After two hernia repairs in groin and one in belly button I wear a slimmer belt that fits tight tight and lift belt wide one over tight holding inner guts from popping out straining when I go heavy. But I haven't went that heavy in sometime lower back and neck disc getting two bad so haven't done belts lately.
Last surgery slip lower abs away under belly button and they stayed that way and it's been 7 years

Now that's some solid advice. I'm gonna go pick one up this weekend and see if it makes squatting more comfortable for me.

For myself I get slimmer stretchable belt Walmart has them then lift belt over it is can put it tighter and slimmer gives more support all of stomach region. Keeps them guts from protruding out especially when compensating for lower back. I curl really heavy sometime with barbell big one and use it on that amd rows and upright rows.
On everything works great gives good posture and support.
I will go get me new one cats got to mine in garage lol

My strength and endurance are slowly coming back and the lifting belt seems to be helping nicely with the squats.

This update is regarding the igf-1, which I started back on last week. I have to admit last week I was feeling a little disappointed with my performance and didn't think the igf was giving me the same boost in the gym that I remembered. Even earlier this week I wasn't experiencing the same pump and vascularity I expected.

What I must have forgotten was that it takes a little while to really kick in and last night it finally did. I pinned MC igf-1 lr3 in my upper pecs (60 mcgs split) and ate two packets of thinkthin berry crumble oatmeal and a banana and I didn't want to leave the incline bench because it seemed my chest got more swollen with each set and looked unusually round and thick from a distance with some decent separation up top. Up close, I could finally see veins in my upper pecs again and the veins in my right front delt were much more pronounced (my delts were also very pumped overall which seems to happen when I pin pecs). I've been on a pretty low carb diet since my surgery so I know things will continue to get more interesting as I add carbs back in. I also pin eod, so maybe it would have kicked in a lot faster if I pinned ed. I would really love to pin my lats to see how that works but I've never even tried. Anyone here pin their lats and if so, what size pin do you use?

I have never put shit into my lats lmao, not steroids, not anything lol!

Glad your doing a lil better daddio!

I pin igf with 50 unit slin pin 5/16" in lats and everywhere else.

Looks like your making a great comeback.

Yesterday was leg day. I started with squats but wasn't feeling it, so I loaded up the leg press and went to work. After that, I was feeling much better and moved on to leg curls, extensions, lunges and calf raises and ended up having a pretty decent workout.

One step at a time. All about being consistent. You got this.

So I started my bulk cycle almost 2 weeks ago but have been slowly adding carbs since I wasn't as lean as I wanted to be when I got started and don't want to become too bloated by the end. I've gained a little weight and possibly lost a little fat in the process but being that this is a bulk cycle, I want to gain as much as possible without losing all definition in my mid-section.

Currently, my daily intake is about 301 p/325 c/58 f (3262 calories), sometimes with fewer carbs on non-lifting days. I was hoping to increase my carbs and fats next week and focus purely on bulking but I'm not confident I'm lean enough to do so without ballooning. I think I'm around 12-13% bf right now(?), so if anyone has any suggestions either way, I'd love to get some input!

I am trying to lose midsection right now and get back definition.
With myself I just start bulking cycle and add more protein and carbs more clean food and I don't lose definition when I already have it.
Just add slow increase protein clean meals and control estro.
When I am already lean and bulk I do good if estro is controlled.
My last bulk last summer I gained some fat and just figured out my letro went bad and that was problem.
I couldn't figure out what was going on in hadn't changed nothing for the fat gain to happen.
Estro out of control got me and it was about 10 months that way.

Sorry if I missed your post. But if I bulk on deca and test it gotta be careful
If I do on eq not as careful but I can't use eq with my high red blood anymore
When I wanna stay lean and got it down if I add gear and just increase food clean with protein and not much carbs if any things happen.
Thing is I normally do ever gain fat, but that's me! As I said I did with that last deal and was baffled until I figured out about my ai.
See I blast cruise or trt but mostly stay on blast or high cruise, so that's how I really got into trouble with bad ai

I'm using only test and lgd for this bulk, along with MC igf of course. I'm actually using igf for the same reasons as you since I re-tweaked my shoulder. Do you get good bulking results with low carbs? I was on a low carb diet for a few years and got very shredded and vascular but I couldn't really put on any size or strength until I discovered the power of carbs. As for an ai, I'm taking 0.25 mg of adex eod.

Carbs make me fuller muscles fuller.
Just increase slowly if results are not coming. Something that I am not faithful with and should be is L-Leucine the caps between meals.
Protein synthesis gear or not slows down with age 35-40 it goes down alot.
L-Leucine will give more help between meals. I need time start it.
As I said I am leaning but alot of times when low bf I can put on 8 lbs on clean bulk without changing much but I don't hold it after blast. When I stay lean I don't hold it. But if I get more bf I hold more muscle then can lean bigger
Because of this I stopped trying to stay lean on bulk. Instead I went back to straight bulk then cut.
Having trouble but heat just started making me sweat alot more do fingers crossed
