Thanks brother!

My calories on my largest muscle groups right now are at about 5,108.. and this will probably be increasing a bit more as well. I find to bump my weight at all I need to consume a significant amount of calories, I won't be surprised if I need to even bump it further - not to mention when I increase gear usage my metabolism speeds up and due to increased nutrient partitioning my food needs to jump as well.

I looked and it didn't seem like they do - which is a shame

Labrada by far - I've never really been a huge fan of Frank Zane... Labrada had some size, beautiful posing, great symmetry, etc..

Whats the overall goal brother? What other compounds are you looking to add in?

Are you taking the MK? Because the exhaustion can be coming from a variety of sources. If you're taking the MK during the day - expect to be tired and lethargic. My main assumption is the lack of food. I understand from what you're posting (as I'm not too familiar with Victoza to comment) that you have no appetite, have you thought about introducing any low dosed stimulants (not the best option,BUT its an option). I would say the Anavar is a great addition, in the very least to help maintain nitrogen retention. I'm curious are you guys taking any other measurements for progress other than the scale? Like calipers? Dexas? Etc...

20% is a fairly significant amount for a genetic mutation - but that’s very cool. I’m looking forward to seeing more and more research come out on the area as it’s an area I’m quite new to

I don’t necessarily think it “works or doesn’t”... just like gear I think we have people that need to use different amounts. With CBD it’s taken me awhile to find my sweet spot, and it’s a fair amount. When I first started I used a little and didn’t notice anything. So I gradually increased until I found it - now it’s one of my favorite recovery tools.

Welcome Jake! I think you've done a great job so far

LOL I'd have to agree, I used hgh frag during my last prep (first time using it) and honestly didn't notice much from it per say. I say that, but I was also using several other things at the time. I think Frag is best to be used multiple times a day shot in a fasted (or carb deprived) state then immediately jump into some cardio. There are a few people I know that love it, but they also include intermittent fasting through half the day. So my ultimate conclusion is, its OK - but depending on how often you're able to use, it gets better.

Great resource to have!

Regardless of what the culprit was - I want to congratulate you on putting your health first... I see too many people sacrificing there well being for an extra pound or two of muscle. Have you gotten blood work again since stopping usage to compare?

You don't need any sponsors to compete man, I don't know why you think I have sponsors lol I just like to log what I do/take and share my experiences. If you do want to pursue sponsorships in any way - become known! So many people think whether its gear/supplements whatever that once they start competing people will pursue you. But think what can you offer them? Are you marketable? Have you achieved anything? Do you have a great base of knowledge so people will listen? I'm not only a competitor/coach but I'm also part owner of a supplement franchise - so I'm involved in the fitness industry in many ways. Build yourself up then pursue them! Don't expect anyone to come knocking on your door.

Welcome brother! Lots of great knowledge here to soak up!

Welcome to the board brother! Hope your prep is going well!

I think its a common misconception that we need to give our receptors a break, androgen receptors have been shown with additional stimuli to have a multiplication effect and increase in our body. HOWEVER, I would judge on when to pull back training/gear usage based on how your recovery and progress has been. I've spoken to many high end coaches that have produced many pro's and depending on how hardcore you want to be there are several different routes you can choose. Without going into too much detail like I would with a client here's an overview of things I may consider: 1. Don't plan a certain time for your blast or your cruise. Get bloodwork, make notes on how your recovery is going. What's the sign that you need a rest? If you don't know, how will you know when you're ready to go again? I like to chart this all out with my clients - eliminates wasted time. 2. Timing of meals will really depend on what your day to day is like and when you train. These should be your primary focus in designing timing of meals. 3. Foods you should be eating should be easily digestible, again surrounding important times of the day (ie training), should vary depending on what you're training and what type of training stimulus you're using, will depend on your recovery and what type of gear you're on. 4. I'm a HUGE advocate of increased fat intake, for many reasons I won't get into as this post is getting long enough lol So you have 8 months to build more than 25 pounds? I don't know if taking 3 months or so off would be in your best interest, and I'd also advise don't get obsessed with the scale a sharp 235 will look much better coming into a prep than a sloppy 250. You'd have to diet much harder to get in shape and risk losing more muscle mass.

From the research I've done and the people I've spoken to - It aromatizes like CRAZY (so a fair amount of water retention), I knew of some people running arimidex and letrozole. However they also loved it. I'm looking to give it a try here soonish lol But to you're question I would actually replace the tren in that scenario with Ment not the mast.

I was just going to say that TB500 has proven to be VERY beneficial for many. ALSO, high dosed (high quality) curcumin - If you decide to take this make sure you take it with a black peppercorn as its a significant difference in terms of absorption.

Thanks brother, Offseason logs are tough - changes are slow coming and I've had to make some adjustments. So here are some updates, I'll also include some pictures here in a bit. I decided to part ways with Nick, no bad blood or anything - I hired him for knowledge and received a fair amount but I also realized we share a lot of the same ideas and it mostly came down to a financial decision. So now I'm on my own, pretty confident with what I'm going to do. So I'll lay out the idea for my diet. The main goal here is to improve recovery and help with my waning hunger. So my first three meals are higher fat, moderate protein my next 6 meals (including my pre intra and post "meals") are all heavy carb meals. The idea here is to place energy where I need it. Gear wise I'm following the same protocol although I have tweaked the next portion a bit - but thats not going to start for another week. So still maintaining: test E 900mg/Week EQ 450mg/Week NPP 600mg/Week Arimidex 0.5mg/ED GH 2UI (3 or 2 times a day - 3 times a week, specified days) Insulin (3 times a day - specific days).

1.99 for ephedrine lol but I also have a huge tolerance for stims - so I see where youre coming from

I fall into the camp of thinking an AI right off the bat is overkill - I cant say this enough, circulating estrogen for growth is crucial. ANYWAY lol I'd 100% have some on hand as you never know how you're going to react. Maybe I missed it but is this your first cycle? Also, I'd say anywhere between 3-500mg per week is a solid first cycle. I would bump it over 250, but thats me. Make sure even if you run 250mg that you're splitting it into two shots of 125mg for more stable blood levels (also, aromasin ED for this amount of test is OVERKILL). I like that you're starting small with the gear but also get your diet in a better spot - not enough food and you won't grow no matter how much gear you put in your system.

I would agree meridia is quite effective - but ephedrine runs roughly 6 bucks lol

Welcome to the board brother!

Welcome brother - great to see another member from Atlantic Canada.

I never stated anything in regards for this not to be mainstream. I simply left a short answer of knowing Taureau is behind this lab and all the shit he pulled I'd stay away. Since you chose to dig in deeper, be my guest.
