That is true, but injury risk can be cut down by doing sprints on a hill. Charlie Gould has a great article on sprinting on here.
Feel this. Over the weekend I spent 6 hours organizing a tool room instead of writing a paper that needed to get done. I think even though it’s not what needed to happen, it feels more like an accomplishment to do a hands-on task that has a more visual sign of accomplishment.

Got my shipment of gear in. Time to see what all the fuss is about Tren.
I need to get back on the wagon for check ins and regular training. Its been 2x per week for a few weeks and it needs to be 3-4x per week.
Gyno surgery initial consult this Friday.

And so it begins!
You keeping it to 70mg a week for the first run or just titrating it up to keep an eye on sides?
You back in a good enough place and consistent enough place to maximise tren now?

I think I’m going to stick to 70mg weekly and see what that does for me.
I think so.
I’m getting back to work with coach.
I’ve been tracking most nutrition for a few weeks.
I just got invited to a private gym that I’ll enjoy more than the commercial one I’ve been going to.
And most of my gear is sponsored at the moment, so there’s some delivery expectations… major bad juju to burn a source on freebies.

Sensible on the tren run, I’m always amazed by how lightly people treat these sort of drugs, I remember one dude on here who’d just got off of heroin and jumped into 1g cycles of tren, not sure if he didn’t end up at 2g, people be crazy!
That’s a very positive update, nice to get some recognition, freebies and invites to swanky private places.
Looking forward to seeing the results!

I remember that thread!
Tren is genuinely not intended for human use, and its side effect profile speaks to that. Do i want to just slam this shit into me and see what happens? Absolutely. But its probably going to hurt more than help.
Mast, on the other hand? Yeah, I’d run a gram if it weekly without a second thought. No sides.
Just trying to be smart, despite the voices in my head telling me to go full send.

It probably doesnt look like it, but this is my 2nd session of the day.
No, it’s not optimal, and I’m well aware of it.
- I was excited to try the new gym
- I really needed the therapy session… Made a decision that could either be the best or worst decision I’ve ever made. It was long overdue. I’m just hoping this isn’t a horrible mistake. Time will tell. Yes, I’m being vague, no I’m not ready to talk about it yet.

All new equipment so some weight resets are expected.
Also drained as fuark with almost no food in my system… too stressed to eat.
New gym is pretty awesome, will have to see how she looks when the sun is up (when people are actually there).

I was give the choice to either push my gyno appt back, or move it up. Chose to move it up.
Had to cut training short, but it’s just as well… poor sleep and everything is still sore from yesterday’s double.
No real plan, just did shoulders and squats.

With tren there are two options. Run it lower/longer with less chance of sides or hit it hard for 8 weeks or however long you can stand it.
I ran it at 800mg/wk 1 time and by week 7 I was done. I prob will never do it again.
200-400 is a solid amount and you can run it for a while before sides creep in.
Sides will come though. Night sweats and trensomnia are pretty common. Mental sides can happen as well so you really need to keep yourself in check.

This specifically is my reason for not running higher doses.
I have a short temper and I’ve had some intrusive thoughts in the past on Deca… I don’t want to hear what Deca’s crackhead uncle is telling me to do 
I’m 4 days in and no sides except slightly elevated body temp.

Different kind of gun show, much faster reps.
Got her sighted and broken in.
Put a few 12ga rounds through the mossberg 935 too, but there’s a few modifications I want to make before posting pics.

I’ve been getting a lot of weird looks at this gym and people keep introducing themselves to me/wanting to know my name.
Is this just a powerlifting gym thing or…?

I’ve had this exact experience at heavy powerlifting gyms. Pretty friendly community. I’m personally not looking for that at the gym, but I guess it’s better than people being outright assholes.
