ADDITIONAL INFO +PROTOCOL ETC. + REST OF THE PROGRESS PHOTOS(message was too long)

2) training:

Pull A - Push A - Legs A - Rest - Pull B - Push B - Legs B - Rest. repeat

Pull A	Back width focus	total working sets: 10 back, 5 biceps, 2 rear delts
Push A	Chest focus	8 chest, 5 shoulders, 3 triceps
Legs A	Quads focus	8 quads, 3 adductors, 3-4 hamstrings, 2 calves
Pull B	Biceps and upper back focus	6 biceps, 10 back, 2 rear delts
Push B	Triceps and shoulders focus	7 shoulders, 6 triceps, 6 chest
Legs B	More hamstrings focused then A	6 hamstrings, 6 quads, 3 calves, 2 adductors

10 sets for back are total for the session, on with day more volume is in lat work, on upper back day more volume is traps and upper back.

The focus mostly dictates the volume allocation and order of movements - eg. pull B - biceps first - traps and upper back - lats - rear delts.
So far the recovery is fairly decent, will do reloads if needed.

5) Protocol:
The dose is determined based on natural testosterone levels, so it's very low. (test levels were lower then expected 7.08nmol/l (US units that's 204 ng/dl)

150mg testosterone enanthate weekly, eod injections

- after the bloods at 10.2, I will see where my testosterone and estradiol sits and I plan to titrate up to 250mg weekly.

6) Blood pressure measured once weekly - 3 measurements average:

6/1/2026​	108/66
13/1/2026​	107/67
20/1/2026​	110/59
27/1/2026​	104/63

7) Fasting blood glucose - measured once weekly:

6/1/2026​	5.1​
13/1/2026​	4.5​
20/1/2026​	5​
27/1/2026​	4.9​

1 DIET BREAKDOWN FOR ANYONE INTERESTED:

​

one is training day one rest day

Honestly I have nothing to say about your post. You seem smart and orderly. It's a must in this world

The big problem you'll have will be filling your legs. They are genetically very long.
And also don't forget to trains the abs in resistance with load. Otherwise you won't develop any.

Your progress will be interesting to follow

Working on both!
Legs were always my best body part. Earlier in 2025 I did a natural shows and after that my legs literally went away

And yes abs were always a weak point for me, currently im doing 3ws two times a week for them.
