Prep

Change n2

Will update tomorrow

259 today time to crank it up a notch now overall feeling good , the look is improving slowly but surely 🙂

On track

What changes were made?

[ZR]

245 today so back down. Kinda thought weight might drop as I’ve felt quite tired last night and today.

Albeit had a great session in the gym, but could tell i wasn’t 100%

It’s quite a big change for me split wise , doubling up on some body parts isn’t something i do often so I think it hits me a little harder recovery wise

But it’s all good, tomorrow is rest day and cheat day family fun Sundays are back (till I start cutting go the O of course.

So I’ll eat some regular meals but also just enjoy fun foods across the day and finish with a cheat meal + snacks at night

Something I do often during the off season to push calories up

I didn’t have a Turkish kebab last night , had my regular chicken and rice meal so it’s been a pretty strict week

So tomorrows calorie fest will get put to good use and I’ll get to enjoy it with my family

Today was delts and chest pump / light day.

I did enjoy it , but not sure it added a great deal of benefit but you give it a couple weeks before I fully decide

Rest of the new split I’m very happy with though

Tomorrow is shot day , I do all my injectables for the week incase anyone doesn’t know yet , I might increase masteron slightly. Test at 1500 is perfect but it’s quite high so want make sure I won’t need a as much arimidex , and it’ll help keep things tighter since this isn’t a full blown off season

What dose of Reta are you using Sas?

[ZR]

259.7 rest day

Slept great rhr sitting at 57 with Clen in & cycle

Recovery feels great, body feels good

Do you personally use Nebivolol? What is your perspective in using Nebivolol and Clen simultaneously?

[ZR]

Weighed in today 128.5kg

Rest today after a big leg day

Slight change to the leg day set up by Kuba

Seated d handle bicep curl x 3

Seated hamstring curl x 2

Leg extension x 2

Lying hamstring curl x 1

Pendulum squat x 1

Hyper extensions x 2

Standing calf raise x 2

So 1 less lying hamstring curl set and added hyper extensions

Quads are blowing up massively and I need more hamstrings. Glutes are definitely very strong due to the depth I squat and leg press. Due to always getting injuries with deadlifts we’ve opted for the hypers

2nd day on 20iu GH pre bed. Have seen a reduction in sleep quality seem to be waking up a lot so will keep an eye on this as I was sleeping great with 15iu

Will keep you posted

Hey Joe, what was the reason for bumping the GH to 20IU? Not trying to sound dumb, like obviously more is more but is this temporary during this minicut to see if there is an increase in fullness or recovery? To see improved fat loss? Just to see if you can handle it? Just curious the thought process why that decision at that time! Thanks!

[ZR]

How’d bloods come back? Still going forward as previously?

[ZR]

261, pull – excellent session. 2 rounds of posing after.

2 days of eating was 100% right call today high energy great session and look is already improving with drugs coming back in

Cycle will stay moderate I held my strength with low drugs so keeping around 2g total will be perfect for this next part keep my body fresh and feeling good just test mast primo Gh

T3/4 staying at replacement I won’t touch it

Clen 40 – will move it in and out based of what I need.

Plenty to tools to play with so we keep rolling

I’m thoroughly enjoying the detailed insights you’re sharing here. Your ability to manage everything and provide your thoughts and changes will make for an incredibly informative follow. I was surprised to hear that you consult with Steve. While I personally find him a bit and salesy, I always respect asking others for help.

Do you still have the baseline peptides that you used for a while?

[ZR]

Hi Kuba,

I’ve been watching some of your appearances on different recent podcasts, as well as the restart of your podcast, it’s great to see you back and getting these awesome guests.

I’m curious whether any of the conversations you’ve had recently have influenced your thinking going into this upcoming cycle. Have they changed your approach to training, recovery, or how you’re weighing the use of testosterone versus other options?

Also, are you incorporating any new medications, therapies, or health strategies to optimize your health and longevity moving forward? I’d be interested to hear if your perspective has evolved and what factors are shaping your decisions now.

[ZR]

Sleep was a little better last night , most likely the extra food and gh

Appetite wasn’t as high this morning so fasted until around midday and then ate meal 1 after a little move around

No training just time with the little ones and managed to have a 20 min sauna

Tomorrow back in for upper

With the current cycle change, is this going to enter a specific “rebound” phase, or were bloods simply not skewed and are now transitioning into the off-season? If you don’t mind expanding on this, what is the projected plan?

[ZR]

270 – team meet day

Amazing day trained legs before

Conclusion

I won’t be touching Eq ever again, my Estro is totally crushed, I know how I feel when it’s dead and it’s just such a shit situation. Very hard to balance, some clients I am having massive success with but for me with how volatile my Estro management can be it just isn’t something il consider.

If you are prone to low Estro – it’s not a drug I advise.

Anyway

Solid leg day

3 curl

2 leg ext

1 leg press

1 pendulum

2 hyper

2 calf

Quads are flat knees are sore – all signs of Estro rock bottom

This week I start prep and I transition into my health phase il run test only next 3/4 weeks – had bloods pulled today

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts on EQ as it’s so varied. Where did your cycle end up “finishing” that had your estrogen crushed if you don’t mind sharing? I know things are tweaked along the way so I’m not sure if it changed from when you originally swapped it for mast following the log

Photoshoot at tbjp gym for the latest clothing drop yesterday. Was out at 7 and on the road. Long day but well worth it. Meeting everyone some for the first time like hope and Lilly and to catch up with all the others was really nice. Was a rest day for me so did my steps and cardio at the gym and then drove home. Had a tonne of work to get on with then just crashed out was absolutely shattered.

Strong push session today and body weight is dropping nicely still. At a new low today and still 3 more days until check in. However I still look fucking wank and fat lol. Little change from Zac 5 min extra cardio and mast increased to 700.

What’s that have the full cycle at? Haven’t seen an update there

[ZR]

Busy morning of work

Cardio and 6k steps ticked off before heading to airport to fly to scotland

Arrived around 5pm and headed straight to the gym

Food shop on way back from gym to the air bnb and rest of evening spent finishing off work and meal prepping

Check in day tomorrow for me again

Do you split your t3 at all or just take all 50 in the AM?

[ZR]

Morning guys. So we’re into the last 9 weeks of off-season now, bodyweight creeping back up after the break and sitting at 257lbs. No real changes here, we’re just letting the body get back where it was before the 5 days drop in calories.

Rest today, then another big week to box off ahead!

Can you give an update on current nutrition and cycle?

[ZR]

Excellent leg day

268 holding

4 sets curl single leg

1 45 hyper

2 extension

2 leg press

2 calf

1 bicep

Rest day usual business, productive days ticked off and as always just cracking on

Overall feeling great, made some slight cycle tweaks

1400 test 1100 primo 400 mast is my peak this time

Dropped mast for eq, week with mast removed sleep improved and joints feel less cranky, mast dries me out a lot, can see it in the look as I wake super hard still, im lean still so I don’t mind dropping mast out now, whats interesting is my HR also dropped

Not a fan of eq with guys who struggle with BP or higher RBC count, I haven’t used it in years and currently have to with some guys especially in USA and getting a lot of success over usual mast using higher test with lower eq.

Beauty of this game we get to run some experiments and see

Feeling better that quickly along with the HR drop is very interesting. I would expect maybe with mast p but I am assuming that’s e?

Did you swap same dose for eq?

Super interesting as you would assume that would be estrogen related but given mast MOA and eq being very strong at actually lowering the e2 but feeling better? You baked it with the work experiment. Would be curious what you think is/will be happening here

Sunday – Rest day and update.

5 weeks into this diet run while cruising and playing around with the Mots C and reta.

Total assistance used.

Test -240mg. – puts me at a test level of 45

GH -5iu pre bed

Mots C -1mg on wake –

Reta – 3 weeks at 250mcg x 3 – 1 week at 250mcg x 4 (1mg) and then last week at 250mcg x 5 (1.25mg)

SLU PP – 600mcg on wake.

5iu fast slin pre workout.

Weight has dropped from a post xmas/ski holiday of 222-223lb to 209-210lb –

No direct cardio – just walking the dog etc and steps between 12-14k

Food has been on the lower side – 150g carbs daily – additional 100g carb powder TBJP performance fuel around training

Protein – 280g

fats. – circa 30-40g.

Training 4 days per week.

pretty happy with visual changes and I am going to keep pushing this another 5-6 weeks into a trip away I have and see just how lean I can get before I then reverse into growing.

I am very very impressed with the mots C – energy and focus is just superb with it in all day, I wake and have CV burn plus the peptides and then no addition stims/coffee etc all day and I feel just as focused and energised at 6-7pm as I do at 6-7am.

Reta – Still not sure here, I know my dose is low but im not finding any reduction in actual hunger. I still get the same hunger pangs etc in the morning and can eat just find. In general I dont honestly have cravings so im not really going to notice much here.

I do feel last week I was a touch more bloated at times than I would normally be as the dose went up. This week I intend to go to 1.5mg and see how I feel there. U doubt I will go much higher.

Overall tho I am getting nice and lean comfortably here with none of the usual clen/t4 etc in so this in reality is a much healthier way of dieting and getting lean lean that running clen etc. Dont get me wrong clen IMO isnt really a unhealthy drug per say overall but it is causing heart rate to increase and putting some strain on the body were as these peptides are having none of that effect.

Blood work will be done at week 8 of this to see if there is much different here in comparison to previous bloods and then when I move to cycle I will keep these in at lower doses to asses if any improvements in blood work hold as I move to cycle.

From here I intend to then bring in SS 31 and NAD and see what these bring

Finally nice to see a well conducted experiment with some more controlled variables. The whole internet is just throwing these all in at once saying they’re amazing and then have no tangible evidence to back any of it up or differentiate the benefits. Very keen to see any bloodwork improvement that you can differentiate from previous bloods even with the weight loss here which will see improvements. Thanks for your patience and sharing your results!
