I know in the past, GH from TP(The Provider) who sells meditrope, is considered very good for generic. I’ve seen him sell mauve tops and now blue tops which I saw a test from Jano show 99%+ purity and very good potency. Would these still be trustworthy? A source here in the US sells them and I’ve been curious.

I did about 10wks and it was maybe 80% of where I should have been. My Hgb and hct was out of range and I had signed of b vitamin deficiency. I fixed the deficiency and I thought if I added IP6 back in as well as carditone, it’d be fine and for the most part it was, but when my bodyweight hit 240, my bod ywasn’;t having it. high bp and no appetite, so I’m doing a long 12wk cruise on just 200mg test and currently feeling immensely better. I have a photoshot in june so mini cutting to the 220’s, holding there while continuing to push strength and if my labs are 100% good I’ll do an enhanced cut but with more moderate doses on everything and keep tabs on everything better

Currently waking with BP in the mid 130’s/mid 80’s and lowest weight since the cut started in 231. I normally drop pretty fast initially and strength is at a very very good spot so when i bring food back to a relative maintenance, that should feel even better.

[Gavin McCort]

I’m sorry I’ve been gone for so long time without posting. I have had a ton go on. I spent 2 months studying for my Registered Dietitian exam and failed by 1 point and of course the holidays. After seeing Joe’s rebound recap video I thought I’d start posting again.

I started a cycle of
400 test E
400 DHB
500 NPP
12.5mg aromasin EOD

but I was foolish and started with less than perfect lab values. As a result, after 8 of the planned 12 weeks I had scary high blood pressure, I had no appetite, and didn’t feelt that great in sessions. I immediately dropped to 200mg Test E per week and upped my health supps. Currently taking

8 caps morphogen nutrition morphomega
6 caps morphogen nutrition morphoprime
375mg tudca twice a day
1000mg IP6 per bed
1 carditone
4000mg astragalus split AM pm

And as of monday I have started a mini cut. By the end of the year I got to 240lbs and that is where I felt way too fluffy. I started the cut this monday after a rest day at 238.6 and today I’m 235.2 for my weekly average. Goal is to get down to 225 and push back up to 230 and just get stronger there. I have a photo shoot in june, so I’m thinking I’ll get down to 210 or so for that.

Currently doing DC Training 4 days per week(Yes I know dante recommends 3, but I run it like an upper lower split and strength and recovery are fine)

Macros are currently

3300 kcal training days
250p
400c
80f

2500 rest days
250p
50c
150f

currently aiming for 7-8k steps per day, no cardio. Just doing walks for heart health

[Gavin McCort]

A few sources here in the US brew 200mg primo and I’ve tested it and it came out to 194mg/ml, so I feel confident with that

[Gavin McCort]

Dr. Dean, I agree on the BS. Just like he was recommending lantus pre workout for “endomorphs”…didn’t know psychology principles applied to physiology.

[Gavin McCort]

Well it’s been a while since I’ve logged on here. Weight isn’t where I’d like to be and with the end of my internship and the stress of moving about 700 miles back home to Alabama…let’s say diet wasn’t my priority.

Current bodyweight: 225-226lbs at just over 6wks post show…yes that’s about 25lbs since my show which is NOT what I wanted but things have calmed down so I’m just rolling with the punches, training hard and just trying not to get super sloppy.

Current macros:
Training days
300 protein 100 fat 400 carbs
Rest Days
300 protein 145 fat 150 carbs

Currently running a PPL split as I wasn’t mentally getting into the full body anymore.

Tomorrow is my birthday so I’ll be cooking up a good meal for that!

I love cooking almost as much as I do bodybuilding.

I’ll be dry brining 2 usda choice ribeyes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, cooking over wood charcoal to 120 F and searing them to 135F which is a perfect medium rare

I’m making loaded twice baked potatoes, home made rolls with honey cinnamon butter,and a home made biscoff cheesecake

Cheers everyone!

After yesterday’s training day, weight is 212.4lbs.

Sleep was poor quality. I have nightmares at times from experiences in the military and sometimes will go a whole night without sleep once I have an occurance.

No snacking last night. Despite lack of sleep, I feel ok, not very lethargic. Coffee helps thankfully. Will definitely catch up on sleep tonight and possibly a nap after my afternoon walk.

Will wait a few more days to see how weight steadies out before considering dietary adjustments. For now, keeping calories the same and plan to keep bodyweight between 210 and 215lbs before my next push up in early october. For now just focusing on dietary consistency and gym progression and finishing up my coursework before I move home mid next month.

[Gavin McCort]

Also professional pictures came out from my sho. Condition was way off, even if you do consider I spilled very badly. I will say, I as pleased with my v-taper and my quad development. Shoulders, arms, and chest are priorities this offseason and that’s confirmed by this shot.
