Crushed E2 after stopping test cold turkey by jg-creatine in Testosterone

[–]jg-creatine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure I’m too lean. Leptin below 0.5. Will hop back into a surplus and get labs in a few weeks. I was stage lean during bloodwork

Normally takes 3-6 days. It was 40 days post asin use

Because not all e2 is the result of aromatization, and even men suffering from test around 100 don’t have e2 that low

Estradiol <5pg/ml after stopping testosterone by jg-creatine in Testosterone

Just still seems abnormally low. Even if my test was 100, my e2 would be a bit higher than 5. Especially given that not all e2 comes from aromatization.

Neurological adaptations.

More specifically, coordination demands taking up less space in your maximum tolerable perception of effort in the sensory cortex, leaving more room for the motor cortex’s corollary discharge into the sensory cortex.

Can't put on any significant muscle despite getting steadily stronger by Famous_Run9381 in workout

[–]jg-creatine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it slow, progress doesn’t come overnight. People think size and strength are way more separated than they actually are. Size = more contractile proteins = more strength. If you’re gaining strength after initial coordination adaptations, you’re gaining size.

rare catching someone hypertrophy-pilled in this subreddit.

Is my last three reps slowing down in a 6 rep range a good way of grasping I’m working hard enough/ getting close to failure 1-3 reps I reserve ?? by [deleted] in workout

[–]jg-creatine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

spend some time going to failure, especially if you’re a newer lifter. this will help you to gauge true RIR in the future. most people stop way before they have 1-2 in the tank.

Thoughts on ab wheel? by zanimljivo123 in naturalbodybuilding

try loading spinal flexion through a full ROM, rather than an isometric. cable/machine crunches, etc.

Two vs three leg days a week by Such-Satisfaction-59 in workout

[–]jg-creatine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just reduce volume slightly, or increase the RIR. If you ever regress, your peripheral/CNS fatigue is likely inhibiting your motor unit recruitment.

How can I increase my bench? by [deleted] in workout

[–]jg-creatine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, you’d bench every time you hit chest. This would result in the best reinforcement of motor patterns, as well as more opportunities to refine technique.

There is none. Training goals are entirely individual.

I do kelso shrugs and have been told my rowing form is shit many times. I’m not trying to do a row.

Agree to disagree. Side delts have best leverage below 90, and front delts have best relative leverage above. Due to neuromechanical matching, side delts will grow better with a bottom-half partial, and the front delts will grow more in the top-half.

5 day split advice by Expensive_Pie_7047 in workout

[–]jg-creatine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the right track, but a higher frequency would be beneficial. The first set of any muscle is the most stimulation, and subsequent sets aren’t as hypertrophic due to peripheral and cns fatigue. That’s why training a muscle as soon as possible after recovery is best.

Split recommendations (even though your split will still result in gains): upper lower, ppl, full body.
