MonsterMike Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Well after a few set backs I'm now prepping for my next show. Last show I did I was happy with my condition but truth be told I wasn't happy with my size. I had been just ok'd to train again after my 4th major (with countless minor) concussion after 4 months of not allowed to do anything when I decided to compete (and I mean wasn't allowed to train, work or leave my room for the first month and then training was the last thing ok'd). I lost 50lbs and weighed 210lbs the day I started lifting again and managed to step onstage at 218lbs. Here's a pic from my last show, looking forward to seeing how I do this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionsfan4 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Best of luck with your next show! What are you getting all the concussions from? Whatever it is, I would think it’s time to quit that activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMike Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Unfortunately it's from random events, my third one was a truck accident (flipped it off the highway) and fouth I just slipped on my concert steps during an ice storm and hit my head before my body hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterMike Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Little bit fluffy today, wife came home for the weekend (she's on course for the military until April) but weighed in at 268lbs, 14 weeks to make me shredded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 You have the time to do it, but you will have to push hard for the 14 weeks (unless you think you put significant stage weight since last show). If you want to come in at 220lbs on stage, that's about 3lbs per week. Doable, but you have to put blinders on and put in the work. Looking forward to updates.

MonsterMike Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 Don't think I'm gonna come down to 220lbs this time, the stage pic is from two years ago, but who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMike Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Here's a pic from my leg workout tonight, after squats and hack squats I did Hatfield lunges and got 420lbs (the bar is 60lbs) for a decent amount of reps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterMike Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Been asked what I "recommend" (can't say what/if I take due to career wise) but right now TND (test deca blend) Mast E and dbol, all from BT, I've "heard" they're the best price wise and quality. I've "been told" that's a great combo for someone like myself especially 13 weeks out from a show before switching to other compounds closer to the show. That cycle "apparently" allows someone like me, not saying me, to gain strength/size still while calorie restricting and losing fat until 8 weeks out where I guess said person would souly focus on getting shredded and maintaining the mass he had. Hope this helps people out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
