Thread: RE-COMP Cycle

Good week and all is working well. I am a little weaker in the gym but that is because body adjusting to the drop in cals but should rebound back soon.

I revamped my cardio to fit in better with my work hours. I do 12 hour shifts with 2 days on 2 days off

So I do my cardio on work days first thing in the morning 30mins and on off days I just focus on working out. This fits in better and is the best fit right now. I will monitor cardio and if 30mins not enough I will increase it too 45mins.

So far so good and has been a productive week. My wife said the other day that my delts are sticking out more and my skin is thining out more around that area.

Week 2 down and progress is coming along nice.
Not weighing myself at this stage will do that at the 6 week mark

Week 3
MT 200 1ml eod
EQ max 2ml wk
40mcg t3
med hgh 4iu ed

still doing 30min cardio in first thing in morning around 3-5 sessions per week depending on my shift roster

I go about 3-5 days low on carbs then up for one day

so far so good

How'd you get the two tears, and what would you recommend for people who wish to avoid them? yeah you'll smash the fat loss mate, you've done it before obviously.

Both injuries was not from poor form or trying to lift more then I could handle

my pec tear came after I tried a test of strength on the bench press
at that time I could do 315 for an easy 12 reps but on this day while warming up my mate and I wanted to see if we could do 20 reps with two plates which is 225 x 20 well I did 23 reps and after the set my chest delts tris where as pumped as hell. I should have called it a day on my chest workout that day but I continued on with my workout. When I got to 315 I was preeing out on my 7th rep when POP my pec went. I put it down to everything being full taxed and pumped from my previous 225 bench.

My bicep was a completed accident I was doing dumbbell shoulder press and as I brought the 40kg dumbbell down to rest on my knee it slipped and I tried to pull it back onto my knee and BANG the biceps popped. I should have just let it fall.

I would say my pec tear could have been avoided but the biceps was a complete accident.

Agreed, they both sound unlucky. Usually it's 'I tried to max out without a warmup or spotter' type stuff.

where was the bicep tear? was it a ligament or the actual bicep muscle?
