Obsession can be a good thing but what you’re saying here sounds a little unhealthy. Maybe it’s the way you’re saying it, but it’s the vibe I’m getting. Focussing in all those things is great but shouldn’t come at a detriment to other stuff like (legit) relationships, building your career – eg if your ‘obsession’ for bodybuilding is so great that you can’t or don’t work hard and grow in that space, then like Clare said it’s time for a reality check. You can be obsession and STILL be present and progressive in other areas. Just my 2 cents.

As the guys said here you need to remove food sources one at a time and monitor changes (if any)… it can be long but of course worth it. Keep us updated how you go bud.

Just when things are going super well I always get I’ll. Been feeling a bit under the weather the past few days but not really paying much attention and today I’ve got stuffy head and cold. Going to take a 3 day deload and try and off set this getting any worse. No doubt it will lol. I usually try and power through and end up in an even worse spot but going to be smart this time and take a little step back so I can get back to 100% quicker 🙏

Ready to start the week with a bang tomorrow – I like Sundays as a day to unwind and be present with family and loved ones then back to the grind Monday. I also use it to plan out my week and know what I’m doing on each day.

I think nath has nailed this here re supplementation and stack design change – I’d also say mine Haider did to increase pin frequency, some can get away with less but you may not be able to, as seen with what you’ve said. 300mg NPP would also get me so I struggle with anything over 150/200.
Follow those principles (we’ll call them that) and see if things improve. Then reassess.

Pump was mad – I’m really liking what I’m seeing at the moment at the gym in my pumps and my look right now.

Probably the best week of training I’ve had in a long while. Everything just clicked and felt amazing. Feeling pretty gassed now and again ready for rest day tomorrow.
Pumpkin picking was a good crack last night, although I’m heavier now so was harder than anticipated trudging around with a lower back pump from the gods 😂😂

If I was you and was getting negative feedback from a site I would stop doing it
As Einstein said doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity … lol with the Einstein quotes
But yeah, I’d shoot delts and lats imo over glutes

Few hours of work to do this am then back to the gym.

Big man. So buzzing to see you’re back with Chris. Apologies if you’ve said already. But what’s your thoughts and plans for stage in the next season?
And has Chris looked at changing much from your training/nutrition/drugs etc
Hope you’re well big man.
