Like Hilly says I’ve been loving having bicep volume on lower days which allows for a bit more volume of both bicep and tricep without taking away from other muscle groups in upper. Personally I find arms can recover very easily

129kg today so a nice jump off the back of a refeed
The look is my favourite yet
Super promising to see my physique looks its best yet on its way down in a diet and on a cruise. Very excited to see the look when gear goes back in and we start pushing food up that rebound fullness and tightness is always so superior
Feedback from Kuba comes tomorrow so shall update on any set up changes

Checked in today at 127.9kg, yesterday came down to 127.7kg
We have done another feed today to slow things down a touch with being on a cruise and still 6 weeks left. Condition is coming in fast starting to see glute lines and waist has really come in which reveals a lot better proportions
Cals are still 4.5k training day and 3k rest day
No cardio
11k steps
No clen yet but that will be coming in the new week at 20mcgFeeling amazing mentally and physically. Cognitive function is up massively have way more energy across the day which feels great. The joints have been painless for a couple weeks now since resetting a few things and physique is holding a good bit of fullness due to improving the quality of some lifts due to the reset
Check in response will be Tuesday so any updates will come then

Week 3 of the mini cut begins
Weighed in at 129.7kg this morning
Taken check in pics and actually happy with the look considering heat coming down on a cruise now. Quad separation coming through and glute lines showing face
Crazy to think being at this body weight in this condition. Extremely exciting to see where I’m at with another 5kg off
Check in response from Kuba tomorrow so I will update on any changesJoe Gann

Like the above have said start the clen at 20mcg feel it out then bump to 40mcg so you aren’t hit with the shakes so hard. I personally am not a fan of Yohimbine for the negative feels and potential stress response it’s not worth the small benefits. I’d favour clen and SLU

I had a client with the same reaction a sore welt that lasted a few weeks I believe he didn’t use enough BAC water when mixing, like Adam says also inject it slowly helps with less of a reaction. A temporary raised itchy lump is very normal but should subside after a couple hours

New low today of 129.2kg
Victim weight (anything under 130kg is victim weight now due to inflation)
Really great day hitting legs. Have tapered back some load a touch to work in a higher rep range than I had been, mainly with my big lifts as I mentioned before to rest the joints during this cruise and mini cutLegs today went amazing. Knees feel fresh and don’t have the same level of overall fatigue post legs. Mainly from the dialled back mental aggression going into my pivot set
Nevertheless I feel great and super excited to keep digging on this cut

I personally prefer 2 variations for faster skill acquisition with lifts. Having the same lifts come around more frequently I find myself progressing a lot faster as long as you don’t too big of a load progression you shouldn’t get bottle necked. Total volume per session I find needs to be reduced from PPL/UL it’s quite taxing but for specifics I’d need more context

Coming towards the end of mini cut week 2. Weighed in this morn at 130.2kg
No significant changes made
Still sat at
Training day 4.5k cals
Rest day 5.5k calsCruising on test 400mg, primo 200mg
Only adjustment being bringing GH up to 15iu to enhance recovery and help with fullness during the cruise
Feeling mega tbh. Appetite is firing again which has given me tonnes more energy and taking off 5kg has me feeling a lot fresher

Agree with the above and nicely done mate most first timers neglect it until it’s too late. To add my own take also practice without a mirror occasionally as remember on stage you won’t have a mirror that throws a lot of people off

Big low this morning of 130.2kg
So first week of the mini cut down, started this week at 135-136kg
Big drop off in water and inflammation can see it across the whole physique and even the face has come in a good bit. Usually the first obvious sign of water retention dropping off
Feeling mega, appetite is firing and energy is way up with the food coming down
Had a great leg day yesterday with Kuba at UltraFlex took a lot from it as always and appreciate his time
Will be checking in tomorrow and will have feedback Tuesday but I’d imagine it will be the same set up as things are moving great

Halfway through the first week of the minicut. Weighed in at 133.4kg so just under 3kg down. Will be a lot of water retention and less food volume
Feeling mega to be honest, feels great to have my appetite back and looking forward to meals
Going to keep the physique under wraps until I’m shredded

Like Kuba said a smaller gauge. Warm up the barrel under your armpit for a couple minutes. Inject into a relaxed muscle. Don’t wiggle it about whilst it’s in. Light massage after. Other than that your first handful of jabs into fresh sites usually ache but it gets better
