He started in September at 8 stone, he's 9.75 stone now. Up the protein, up the carbs . Pasta, rice its all good. Sounds like cutting isnt on the agenda just getting bigger, still young too. As long as he is eating clean and getting in as much protein as your bank balance will allow in his diet , he will continue to gain. Cant comment on squats , I am pretty tall and they have a habit of damaging my back when I get over 120, but I am not exactly in my prime at 37 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it has been around for a very long time (used in some cultures for couple of hundred years apparently) and i've only heard of it now makes me think it's a lot of sh-ilaj-it.

Yeah I am very suspicious that all the adverts are hype and sales marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try some Testosterone for your Testosterone 🤣 Not your cup of tea , Ive tried a massive amount of supps and get bloods done quite a bit nothing worked as well as a simple ZMA. Use Mobu for all of my stuff . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not going to put you in a hole in the ground in your prime , its pretty common practice now for men 40+ to be on TRT. Can be used sensibly, like everything else it can also be abused but its certainly one of the safest steroids available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sausage Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 On 04/01/2024 at 22:38, Captain Sausage said: Got a few gym goals this year: 1) Sub 1h20 mens singles Hyrox 2) Gymnast ring muscle up 3) 50m handstand walk 4) 100kg clean (this should be easy, but I get in my head anytime I get over 80kg and struggle to get under the bar) 5) Dubai Turf games, place top half of everyday category. Will be a good year if I can hit all 5 of them! We're at the end of March and I've managed a sub 1h20 Hyrox and a 100kg clean. Good progress so far. I haven't been to crossfit this year though, so 2/3 are gonna be tough (and sorting a team for 5!). I think I'm gonna focus more on bulking up a bit for the next wee while, Hyrox training meant I lost about 5kg. Anyone got any decent programming recommendations? Looking for someone to help with upper body focus for 6-8 week chunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of an easy to follow strength program Wendler 531. 'Boring but big' template would likely suit your goal. Could do 2 waves of it in 8 weeks.

Did some reading up on it and did my first session today. Simple and no messing around - my kind of workout. Was in an out in 30 mins (skipped conditioning as I'm doing a Hyrox PFT tomorrow).
