What do you want to know?
No Iām not in charge and I have never pretended to be but Iāve been around here for a few years and have no issue helping people when they ask. All I ask I return is information so I can make informed decisions about what I am helping with. You have given me nothing except resistance. You claim all is good on your end but youāre not making progress and in fact you are out of shape. Your trying to rely on gear to improve but your off base as gear is not the driving factor. maybe your at your genetic limit? Iām also 47yo and can move more weight than I ever have in my life. Do I take gear? Yes. Do I take a ton of gear? No. Iāve been doing this long enough to understand my capabilities and limits. I can assure you more gear is not the answer. Using the right gear and doses for your goals can be a huge benefit but like I said 95% of it is genetics diet and training.
You have pretty much 0 cred on here so if you want solid advice I would suggest you listen a little more than run your mouth. As far as advice from me itās not gonna happen. You have burned that bridge. Again, good luck to you.

This isnāt a forum for sources.
Go somewhere else.
Youāre are also younger with higher testosterone levels, big deal
Its a forum for whatever i want to talk about.
So wait: before, it was āIāve been doing this since the 90sā, but now when I bring up something I did when I was younger, itās āitās only because youāre youngerā.
When my total test was 38 (no, not 380, 38) I was still moving more weight my dude.
You asked
Donāt be upset with the answer.
Everyone here is WANTING you to get the results you want. We are trying really hard to help you get there. That includes people who DO know more than you about certain things. Itās why I said you need to empty your cup here.
And I have also been at this since the 90s.

Outstanding perspective dude. If you are able to take the time to write out your training and nutrition, even just 1 sample day, it would go a long way in being able to help.

What is your goal with that diet? Youāve listed protein, but no other macros. But even then, if thatās all youāre eating, itās no wonder you arenāt growing bigger or stronger: thatās only 1610 calories. For a 250lb 5ā10 trainee, thatās not going to support any sort of workload, and itās definitely not going to take advantage of the gear youāre running.
For what reason are you performing sets of 4 on leg abduction and adduction? Iām not used to seeing that move trained for low reps.
Is the purpose of this training to build muscle? If so, Iām not sure the squats at the start are helping there. The intensity is quite high while the reps are low.

This is exactly the mentality of the people who die from steroids while they dont even look like they lift.
They track every one of their inputsā¦ weight, calories, macros, training, sleep, recovery, etc.
Their coach then tells them what to adjust and when, based on results.
Yes, they take lots of drugs, but only AFTER theyāve done everything else right.
Stop giving the rest of us crayon eaters a bad name.
How many calories should i be eating? For the abductions and abductions Iām training to failure. If my max on squat is 405, what should my squat workout look like? Thanks for the reply
Who said i donāt look like i lift?
I wrote down abductions snd aduction incorrectly, its 4 sets to failure which is about 25-30 reps
And what do we mean by macros?
Crayon eaters, lol

I canāt answer these questions until you answer the ones I asked you. They werenāt rhetorical: they were diagnostic.
What is your goal with that diet?
I need to know the answer to that. Is this a fat loss approach? You previously mentioned a goal of wanting to be bigger. Knowing why you are eating this way will help me know what needs to change to meet your goals.
Is the purpose of this training to build muscle?
Again, I need an answer to this question. The training to build muscle is different from the training to maximize strength.
I wrote down abductions snd aduction incorrectly, its 4 sets to failure which is about 25-30 reps
Now I need to know if the rest of the training is written correctly.
But Iāll share that, irrespective of training goals, I donāt see the point in going to failure four times on a single movement. Going to failure sends to signal to the muscle to grow. After that signal is sent, weāre not going to send MORE signal to it, but what we CAN do is overfatigue ourselves and compromise our recovery, which just limits growth, irrespective of goals. Iām not the biggest fan of training to failure, but if itās going to be employed, Iād aim to employ it correctly.
And what do we mean by macros?
This is short for āmacronutrientsā. Protein is one. Fats and carbs are the other 2. Alcohol is sometimes referred to as āthe 4th macronutrientā, but Iād REALLY hope youāre not mixing that with steroids.
Protein is used to build tissue, but fats and carbs are the energy source necessary to promote that process. If all we eat is protein, we eventually experience rabbit starvation and die.
