[QUOTE="kaotic, post: 1061525, member: 6378"] [SIZE=4][u][b]More Updates:[/b][/u][/SIZE] It's been a bit of time since I updated, but things are actually hitting all positives. [SIZE=4][u][b]Digestive Issues Resolved:[/b][/u][/SIZE] Some of you know I took antibiotics in January and wrecked my gut and digestive system. I couldn't shit right for months and it just sucked. About 2 months ago I picked up [b]VSL#3[/b] probiotics on the recommendation from an RVF member. They helped a bit, but still ran into issues. Then about 2.5 weeks ago my stomach went back to normal and then I realized something, [u][b]I had stopped taking isolated whey protein.[/b][/u] I went on an overseas beach trip and drank a shitton, did drugs, and ate like shit. Needless to say my stomach went back to digestive issues I had previously. A few days ago my stomach kicked back to normal thank god, so I'm super happy about that. I actually switched from iso whey, over to a [b]Vega Sport Protein[/b] (Plant protein sourced). Overall it's slightly chalky but decent, doesn't give me issues like the iso whey did. [SIZE=4][u][b]Food Changes:[/b][/u][/SIZE] I stopped cooking and meal prepping. I switch over to buying already cooked meal preps, my friends wife runs a meal prep company and she gave me a killer 10 meals for $80 deal. I'm only spending $10-20 more than I would making it myself. But I get piece of mind, no mess, multiple choices, and time saved. [SIZE=4][u][b]Back On Cycle:[/b][/u] [/SIZE] I started back on cycle on July 1st. This is what I'm currently taking: 200mh Test + 100mg NPP (Deca's Cousin)= Twice a week. So I'm doing: [u]400mg of Test + 200mg of NPP per week[/u] NOTE: I'll be upping the dosage to the following once I get more vials: 600mg of test + 400mg of NPP per week I'm rotating quads for injection sites. I'll be logging weekly pins. [SIZE=4][u][b]Workouts:[/b][/u][/SIZE] Obviously my strength has gone up and I'm probably going to be dropping the rep scheme from 30 to 20 and 35 to 30 for arms. Still doing 3 days a week, no cardio at the moment. However, I've added a Saturday workout: Bench Press Lat Pulldowns (inner or wide) Seated Should Barbell Press Bi's Tri's I feel fucking massive after this. I'll start logging my workouts again when I have time. [SIZE=4][u][b]BACK from the dead:[/b][/u][/SIZE] I've hit strides in rehabing my back doing the following. -Constantly stretching at the gym post workout and at work. -I purchased a memory foam back support for my chair, felt better, but slightly off the chair -Then got another chair with adjustable lumbar support, NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE. -Back isn't as tight anymore nor in pain when sitting for long periods, and not irritated in the car commuting. -Get deep tissue massages every other weekend. All of this has contributed to my back feeling better, and the PT has told he's noticed a difference as well. We've start doing leg press machines on light weight, also semi pistol presses as well. I'm confident ill be back under the bar squatting and deads. Overall I'm looking to expand my growth literally and figuratively at the gym. [/QUOTE]
