Another solid week in the books marking the half way point of this push up.

Little frustrated with training first half of the week as seeing little/no progression across 2-3 sessions. Reminded this morning by Kuba that this deep in the offseason big jumps would be a sign that training is getting worse.

In today for Upper touch up + arms which is…

I would be seriously questioning your lab/source for test, 250 test e + primo would have most people well over the natural ranges.

Check in ~2 weeks post show into the recovery phase

Returned to training Sunday although with current fatigue levels and being a complete write off yesterday Kuba has moved me to one on one off for now with devolume sessions. Mentally the energy and life is returning but physically still smashed.

Just ticking the boxes and making this phase… Read more

For a first cycle I’d drop the primo and just run test at 300 a week.

Just remember no ‘safer use’ model is truly safe, but if thats a primary concern less is always going to be more.

And prep is over

Unfortunately no placing on Sunday, not much to say other than I was very happy with the look we brought. Weight classes were decided on the day which didn’t play in my favour (ended up being split over and under 80kg).

Very mixed feelings overall with the season. I accomplished what I set out to do which was bring in some…

4 days out

Weight hit a new prep low and energy was pretty low yesterday but it is what is required.

Running the same food as yesterday at 50% baseline carbs. Not the most exciting thought but literally 4 days of the comp season left so 0 complaints to bring the best package.

In for a delt focussed push today which I am really looking… Read more

Back to 6 days out

Ran pro/fat yesterday. Today carbs are back but 50% of baseline diet.

Hunger yesterday wasn’t an issue but feeling it today.

Legs today was a good session, headspace was spot on and got just enough intensity to still be a fun session. Steps are done so will be feet up for the rest of the day.

Show day, sat waiting for the athletes meeting, top coat on. Third meal about to go in then a tripple espresso.

Novice and class 2 today so more stage experience which is only a good thing.

Look is good, very similar to last week which was the plan as I really feel we nailed the look.

So far impressed with the FitX production,… Read more

1 day out

Just touched down in Oldham, same hotel and venue as last time so no stress in that regards.

Look is good this morning, basically just looking to replicate the look from last weekend, maybe a few percent better just as my skin keeps thinning.

Photo from after yesterday’s pull session.

Food for today is/was:

1 g salt with each… Read more

2 Days out – Not too much to report although feeling good heading into the weekend. Body feels pretty fresh, similar mentally.

Back to 86kg which we know is around where my body has looked great heading into the first show, the longer we hold this condition the better I seem to look at it, skin a bit thinner, little bit tighter from…

3 days out

Dropped 3.2kg going pro fat yesterday and the look is back to where we want it. Good back to baseline peaking diet with 7l water.

Feeling great heading into the weekend, in for push today although no heroics just get in do the necessary and get out.

Well it’s a 5th place finish today out of 8.

Initially the ego definitely took a hit and it didn’t feel good but got that part finished quickly after seeing some footage.

Simply outsized by much more experienced lads and end of the day we can only control what we can control. We brought great condition and loved every second of being on… Read more

Show day has arrived!

Woke up feeling a very tight 85.6kg full as a house so not much to do other than hold, guessing I’ll be on stage around midday so the plan is get three meals in beforehand.

Heads in a great place, just excited to show the hard work off confident it’s the best I can be right and the best I have ever been, which is a… Read more

Birthday check in at one day out

2 days out 🤯

Not sure where the last 20 weeks have gone but here we are. Kuba is very happy with the look today so decision made to very slightly increase food. Sodium and water same again today.

In for an upper body session this afternoon. Obviously no heroics just two exercises and two sets per exercise at about 80%

Current diet:

*… Read more

Really showing through now, thanks man

Thank you man!

3 days out, time is absolutely flying by now

Photo from yesterday post workout I’m very very happy with. This seems to be the weight I need for a good balance of full and “dry” at 86kg. 5kg up from my lowest in my first prep although at least 5kg of fat less as well lol

Plan for today is rest, steps at 8k and food remains the same as it has… Read more

4 days out – little weight drop but seems to be water rather than fullness

High stress yesterday that ended in me having a proper wobble about being ready. Work related but then spilled over when traffic meant it would be a 2 hour trip to the gym one way, went to a local place for it to be closed, ended up in a less than ideal facility but… Read more

Just wanted to chip in and say the look at the weekend was immense and win was incredibly well deserved. Excited to see how the next one goes, good luck!

I’d check the quality of your tap water, you can get pretty cheap ones online (amazon etc). Living in Scotland I get pretty good quality water, when I lived in London I’d probably have preferred to drink puddles on the street over what came out my tap.

5 days out back to 86.1kg

Mentally in a very good spot this morning, ready to keep powering on. No changes today other than returning to baseline expenditure of 8k steps.

Todays delt focussed push session (all sets 1-2 RIR):

Dumbell lateral raise – 2 set of 10-12 micro pause at the top

Machine shoulder press – 1 set 1 set 8-10 reps 1… Read more

Thought I’d post some comparisons of my first showing in 2020 vs todays photos. Mostly as just motivation for myself. We all know the progression element of bodybuilding is key to why we do it – and progress has certainly been made

6 days out

Legs yesterday was exactly what I wanted out of the session. Nice pump, just kept calm and collected going into the set and made sure not to “send” anything. kubas attention to detail and specifics on how to approach the sets was absolutely spot on. Without trying to sound like a shill his coaching is literally another level.… Read more

7 days out! Game time!

Weight holding today and look improved again after a day of full rest.

Same again today with the last leg session before show going in.

Todays session will be as follows:

Legs 2

All working sets 2 reps away from total failure so 90% effort calm and relaxed

Lying leg curl
Set 1 8-10 2 second hold in peak… Read more

8 days out, weight dropped again on the same food which is a nice place to be, food will almost definitely not need lowered leading into the show now.

Rest day today and after a call with Kuba the call was made to keep off my feet only real output will be posing through the day.

Plan through for tomorrows leg session, last one before the… Read more

9 days out

Weight down .2kg this morning, look is definitely improved now I’ve trained push with higher food and presumably winny doing bits along with dropping gh. It’s nice having a pump and feeling a few % fuller

Going to try to get away from work early so I’m not training as late. Only having post workout before bed I can feel the lack of… Read more

I mean it’s only day 2 so not much to report yet but skin is looking thinner from the back already

11 days out and third day maintaining weight. Considering where food is at I’m very happy with the look as it is only getting better and slightly tighter through the lower back as we go. Kuba thinks food will remain here with some extra high days until show day which would be very welcome. Really enjoying the current food set up, at that…

It’s a week and you’re using a small amount with longer esters, pin the weeks worth on the day you leave and if you notice any difference you probably need to be more present on your holiday lol.

If you were away for weeks mid blast it might be a different story.

As always just depends who you listen to. Sure there’s lots of information on safer practices, that doesn’t mean people apply them. For as many as there as saying use TRT + Primo there are the same number saying it’s a waste of time and you should bang in a gram of test to grow.

Depends what echo chamber you’re in.

2 weeks out today and another weight drop to 84.7. Despite reduced output still felt like a bag of dicks BUT kept myself distracted so hunger wasn’t as bad as it had been for a few days so that’s a win.

Push session yesterday sucked, but got in and sent it, as we do. Matched numbers from last week although no progressions across the board… Read more

In my opinion back end of prep the extra few carbs and fats in the vegan whey will make a difference when every variable counts.

Whey iso will never mix as well/volumise as much as a vegan whey or even a concentrate/blend (casein is the goat for volume/consistency imo). It is slightly better in oats if you let the oats cool first before adding,…

Another drop today, 85.5kg. Waiting for glutes and a bit of lower back to pull through. I’ve far, far surpassed previous best condition so just at that point of getting fat off that’s never been off before.

Legs yesterday was very good considering where energy levels are through the day. No reps lost although no major progressions either. The…

Currently sitting at 2.5 weeks out from my first show of the season so decided to start logging headed into the show, mostly to fill five minutes of the day.

Coached by Kuba so in good hands.

Morning weight was 85.9kg today, maintained from yesterday.

Its been a while since I checked my calories but I will add my diet later on, same with PEDs since…
