Thanks

Some natural orgs will allow you to be on HRT so long as you get regular blood testing to show your testosterone levels are still in the normal range. I would email the organizations, explain your situation and see what their response is

Hey Layne, big fan of your articles. Was hoping you might be able to help me out. I'm really sorry if you've answered this somewhere else already.
I'm about 160 pounds and probably around 12.5 - 13% bodyfat, and have been trying to make an outline of a program for the next 18 weeks (ending at the start of summer over here in Aus)
I've been thinking about doing a
6 Weeks 500 calorie surplus
2 Weeks 500 calorie deficit
After this I will analyse where I am at, if going well then
4 weeks 500 calorie surplus
6 week 500 calorie deficit
My end goal is to gain muscle mass, and start summer with relatively low bodyfat (thinking around 7 - 8%) so I can start seeing good definition.
What do you think of the above idea? I'm not competing in any contests
Still trying to work out what kind of macronutrient ratio I will try using, but right now I was wondering about supplement timing.
I've been thinking
Breakfast
- Protein Shake
Morning
- 5g BCAA
Lunch (1-2 hours pre workout)
20 min Pre Workout (1/2)
- 15g Dextrose/maltodextrin
Immediately Pre Workout
- 5g BCAA
Post Workout
- 25g Whey Protein (cont 5g BCAA)
- 5g BCAA (so total of 10g BCAA)
- 30g Dextrose/Maltodextrin
- 5g Creatine
Dinner
Between Dinner and Bed
- 5g BCAA
Before Bed
- Casein Protein
(The list above are just the supplements, will be eating normal meals aswel)
I'm sorry it's such a long post, but I've read your answers to other questions and seems like you like to want know a decent amount of detail before you answer. I'm really just wondering if you think it sounds ok?
Your opinion is GREATLY appreciated
Thanks in advance

I know there's a lot of factors that you can't take into account over these forums, but was just hoping for a bit of a nod of approval that I was heading in the right direction
Sorry, one more thing. You've said that you don't always train to failure on hypertrophy days. I was wondering how you judge when to go to failure and when not to?

Hey Layne, I just finished watching one your old team norton vids on bbing.com and you mentioned having buldging disk issues. I have been in the gym training again after some time in therapy for a C7 budgling disk and was wondering if you had any insight on progressing in the gym with this type of issue. I have been reading up on your PHAT training and would like to give it a shot but honestly a lil worried about squatting and deadlifting again. I know i'm being a girl but I just wondered what your experience was like in this area. Thanks Doc!
