    Evening all!

    4 weeks and 5 days out from the show then, we are moving quick now! Weight isn’t moving too much but condition is just improving every check in.

    Changes this week – Cardio increased to 45 mins stairs and NPP is out, Mast E in at 500mg. I’ve also just put the infamous Reta in at 1mg – not just from the appetite benefits, but to help the sleep. My mind is so busy with work stuff & prep I’m hoping it helps there!

    Rest day tomorrow as I’m up in Rotherham for the day shooting with Kuba & Meg. Next check in Wednesday morning so imagine after the way I feel today plus tomorrow, there will be some good visual changes again there 🙏🏻

    Is this the first cycle change you’ve made on prep? I don’t recall seeing any other mention in the vlog so far. Even fat burners?

    Rest day today for me

    Day out with the little ones , trampolining and trip to the park . Steps got hit pretty easily

    Tomorrow back to full work routine and then hitting an upper session in afternoon

    Can we get an update with the current plan? Few one of changes mentioned but hard to understand where everything is currently at. Thanks on behalf of everyone following.

    Yesterday’s upper session has wiped me out today ! Slow start to the morning as didn’t get out to hit steps due to a busier work load

    will be taking a rest day today which will allow me to be fresher for legs tomorrow

    Will do a full update of food and PEDs tomorrow

    Are you still going to share this update? Curious to see how things are looking currently.

    Test will go high if I feel I need it to

    Tomorrow is pull day. And man am I fired up to life hard and heavy.

    My back will be wider , will be thicker, will be better. I know it …

    Hope everyone has had a heat weekend so far

    yeh but it was also there when you were taking 37.5mcg is that correct? As that doesn’t make any sense

    The t3 was not taken the morning of the bloodwork, so it would be higher during the day b

    Im a litle confused

    Your free t3 read looks the same both now and when sing 37.5mcg t3 – so why would you add t3 in?

    It is at the very bottom range

    258.2 lbs

    Crazy shift in condition

    Pretty surprised at movement this week, fist day yesterday where I was like oh I’m in prep lol the look is changing nicely and days like this are the best.

    Productive sessions,going to be ready for this deload next week I’m spent.

    Legs today was epic

    Leg curl single leg 3

    Leg ext 2

    Leg press 2

    Seated ham single leg 1

    Hip thrust 1

    Calf 2

    How much was mast/test bumped up? Was this pre planned escalation? If not, why was the decision made to do this now? Loving all the YouTube content btw!

    So started my week today really after yesterdays mess up lol in for chest and bi and had a great session. Checked in with Patrick and he’s happy with where we’re at and keeps reminding me to really hold back and not bury myself in training – we’re in recovery phase and he really wants my body fresh and sensitive for when we go back on cycle. I already feel strong so I feel like this coming off season could see for some pretty cool heavy af shit going on 😂😂 bring it on!

    What does Patrick have you running hormone wise during this period if you don’t mind sharing?

    Can someone explain the yield of elemental magnesium on this product? If it is 1000mg of magnesium busglycinate how does it yield 250mg of actual magnesium? This percentage is higher than it can be from my understanding. Is this a labeling error?

    Great training Today, same session as the one that just dropped , have a watch , I talk about my thoughts on volume : frequency , and how eod legs has huge scope but potentially after a certain strength level , the sweet spot maybe every 3 sleeps where you can get more work in and then recover still . It’s an interesting thought process that I’m enjoying trying things at diff strengths levels ( being injured back to now and assessing the changes needed )

    This was an awesome video. So many gems in there 🙏
