Great leg session last night. Still sweating like a mofo during though. I did lose about 10min of training time due to one of the trainers hitting on me, and Im not one to reject a good pass attempt at the moment. Side note, hunger is getting a silly. No reason why that I can think of, but fml I go to bed dreaming about breakfast.

Things still looking good for the Toronto Pro given the new extension of the stay at home orders? How did the post prep rebound workout?

Any updates for the fan club? @musclebeauty

15lbs in a month...wild. Cant wait to see what you are looking like in a month or so. You definitely know how to dial it in from your comp pics.

How are things going man? Any word on the IVF results?

Love a good pubococcygeus workout. I used to love shoulder work, but have really been enjoying a lot more quad work as of late.

Quick update on some things I have noticed change this week for reasons I have yet to fully compile. Pumps have been silly. Forearm pumps, should pumps, lower back pumps...all to the point that they are affecting more training somewhat. My push workout yesterday it was hard to get good chest activation after my first exercise as the should pumps where just so painful. I actually ended up doing some one-arm kettle bell floor chest press to really feel the muscles work after my post workout meal, just to make sure that I hit it solid enough. Also, I am hungry as fook this week and I'm not sure why as I have not changed anything yet. Other than the above, feeling really good. Hamstring focused leg workout coming up tonight. Going to be interesting.

Thanks man.

Wild pull workout last night, not in a good way. For some reason the forearm pumps last night were so bad that I was having trouble pulling anything even with straps lol. Nuts. Workout was all mixed up as well as the gym was slammed so machine order was pretty much what I could grab and when. 20min post workout cardio also went well but man I was drenched after. Ringing out my shirt kinda drenched.

Thanks. Honestly, its hard to see it when looking at oneself. I feel small and fat most of the time lol.

20 weeks is long for sure, even at a lower dose. At one point I was thinking about going down to a generous (200mg) "TRT" dose and cruising for 6 weeks and then hitting a 12 week 600 test, 500 mast run with 50mg anadrol 2 weeks on 2 weeks off through it. Alot of things that sound like fun to be honest. But at this point, as you said, if it aint broke, so I will ride it out to the end at the lower doses and see what I can do with more cardio and diet tweaks. Use this 20 week run as a nice learning curve to dial it in for the next phase assuming my health markers dont go to shit or sides dont elevate. I have 9 months to reach my goal, so slow and steady. As much as I would like to be lean for summer...given my current level I doubt its achievable without getting a little drastic and risking rebound (and given what happened previous, my body does rebound hard) The next 6 weeks will all be weekly diet and cardio adjustments as warranted to see how my body responds. Daily weigh ins now as well and I will start to do bi-weekly pics (in theory).

Solid leg workout (quad focused) last night. Drenched in sweat after 1 working set lol. Pretty shaky walk to the bus station after. I wont be adjusting the diet this week to the new plan. The only change I will be implementing is the 2 x 20min cardio sessions to see what that does. If things move in the right direction I wont change anything until it stalls. Then I will either drop the post workout banana or add 1 more 20 min cardio session, etc. After about a month I will probably transition the the new diet if things stall out again. Less recomp focus now and more fat loss.

Thanks. I do have a good set of moobs lol.

Golden. Welcome to the board man.

You should grow the matching beard man. With the shaved head and beard you will look 5lbs leaner. Keep on it man, even with the Covid BS, progress (even slow) is still progress. Work on your posing too man (just for fun), be surprised how much of a workout you get practicing posing. Shit destroys me, moreso when I try to do anything with a vacuum.

Side note; my "friend" who gave the advice on the "supplements" above also just advised that I tweak my diet to "simplify it" to the below (it would also be about a 300cal reduction): Meal 0: 1Tbsp apple cider vinegar, half lemon (squeezed) mixed in 500ml water. Meal 1: 50g oats w/ cinnamon & 2 servings whey, 50g frozen blue berries, 20g nut butter. Meal 2: 200g chicken breast, 250g zucchini, 20g NPB Meal 3: (2 hours pre-workout) 50g oats w/ cinnamon & 2 servings whey, 50g frozen blue berries, 20g nut butter. Meal 4: (15-30min PW) 2 servings whey, 1 soft chew dark chocolate granola bar Meal 5: (2-2.5 hours PW) 200g chicken breast, 150g white rice, 250g zucchini Thoughts? Or keep doing what I am doing? Macros would look like:

Going to take scale numbers each day this week to track fluctuations. Im also going to add two post weight training 20min cardio sessions in additional to my daily AM 45min walks. Probably tuesday and friday as after training legs Im too gassed to even walk properly let alone hit a stair climber or treadmill. Anyway, I dont want to post it up as I feel l look like shit, but here photos taken this AM, )after a week off from the gym and diet), post AM cario/walk, no food or pump. Be gentle. I peg myself around 28% right now. And yes, after 10 weeks, this is a pretty big improvement over my post no-trt rebound. As always, holding a pile of fat in the lower ab/back area.

The rep has been on here in about a month now. No luck via email?

Just to reiterate, currently I am 114kg +/- (250lbs) at 6'3" So not huge, but not small. Id be 280 if I had a leg sweep like @MrGains (something I am working on) Just trying to hit 15% and make it my setpoint with some maintenance and then see if I can get into the 10-12% range before I turn 40 next year.

Honestly, the banana and Kirkland soft chew post workout was something I read in Jeff Nippard's recomp book. So I just kind did it. The soft chew is like crack. Current cycle is test(e) and mast(e) at 250mg week and tren(e) at 200mg week. Cleave of the ester and its not that much at all. I have been running that for 10 weeks and just had a week off as I can not carry or pin anyplace but at home. My current health stack is almost overkill for those doses but at my age its better to be overly safe then run high BP or lipids lol. All my health markers have stayed pretty much baseline except my BP sometimes creeps a little up over 120 and no side effects other than very mild night sweats and borderline super perv mode libido. The goal was to run for 20 weeks then take a nice long break to hold and hopefully let my body adapt to a new BF setpoint instead of being so comfortable at a higher BF%. The temptation is not to go nuts, but to bump to 375mg of test and mast and 300 of tren and hold there to the end. Some of the doses I see guys doing who are way smaller than me just floors me. A friend of mine who competes told me I should be rolling at 600 test, 600 mast, and 300 tren, but I think my head would pop off at those doses. He also recommended I run 50 to 100mcg of T3 or 100-150mcg of T4, but I don't have access to T3 here and T4 to my understanding is pretty much useless...although I can get that OTC here.

113.8kg this AM after a week off in the mountains where the diet was pretty much nothing but rice and vegetables as access to meat is limited. Back in the game today with 45min AM cario/walk and some mobility and stretching work after. Diet back on point but I will be changing the blackberries to blueberries in the AM (40-50g for now) and I am thinking I will drop the post workout banana after this week. I also may drop the omlet as my last meal and switch over to something more lite like a baked chicken breast (200g) and maybe 100-150g rice. Thats about it. Other than the desire to up my dosages for phase 2 of this recomp and start to focus more on overall fat loss vs. the recomp goal. Anyway, will probably keep things where they given the length of time on overall that this encompasses.

How do you find your BP on those doses man? Any issues with E2 on 800mg test? Looking forward to seeing you cut up. Hope your wife is still crushing it also.

Closing out the week strong, not literally though. Feeling a little run down so the week off next week is welcome and needed. Looking forward to really tightening it up when I get back. As always, feel free to throw down any advice.

I hope not all at once...jokes.

Your "that guy" because Im pretty sure your the most jacked mofo at your gym. Fak man, I would look like I dont even lift standing next to you haha.
