Morning all, rest day for me today and a weight drop overnight. Generally I am seeing my bodyweight creep up when I have a higher day of food, then the next day lower calories and then the day after I see bodyweight creep back down to my previous lowest bodyweight or a new low. Today my bodyweight was 122.3kg, so 0.1kg down from my previous lightest bodyweight that I seen earlier this week.

Lower kcals today and 2 x 30mins walk / cardio on my walking pad at home today.

Chilled day today with my youngest daughter, a little shopping trip for her 🙂

Kerry flew off to America today early hours so was up to see her go as she hunts down her Olympia qualification for this year. I won’t be travelling unfortunately due to prep and also parental duties

Adam and Kamara give great advice here, I would take on board their input here

Upper session today, push focused. Really strong session after yesterday’s high day food. Patrick was really happy with today’s pictures, he said front and side poses are close condition wise and the rear is on schedule and coming in slower which is normal for me. Lower kcals nutrition today, but overall things are moving really well.

Session today was;

Primer – chest supported row x2
Pec deck x2
Low incline smith chest press x2
Flat seated chest press x3
Db side lat raise on bench x2
Triceps straight bar pushdown x3
D handle single arm bicep curl x3
Abductor x3

I agree with Kuba here. However, it’s individual based if you feel good and of works for you then stick with it. NPP doesn’t agree with a lot of people, myself included but once you know it’s easier to make a decision what you prefer

[Marc]

Another weight drop overnight from yesterday and also a new bodyweight low by 0.4kg. Bodyweight this morning fasted was 122.2kg and things are moving at pace. Patrick is happy with where things are at currently, and today a high food day set alongside my upper 2 training session. For those interested I will post this session up on my IG page later today.

I’m feeling really good, focused on the task at hand and as always 1 day at a time.

I agree with Hilly here. Looking at how your body responds to the volume, how your recovery is from the said volume and if you can sustain say 2 sets at one rep range for the period of your training block. Also look at your physique needs as some body parts might need different requirements based on stronger / weaker body parts, so adjust based on needs

Makes 0 difference pin your Gh while you eat doesn’t matter – takes a while for it to peak so food does not impact it at all

In my last meal i usually eat

50 oats

250 egg white with 30 isolate

20 peanut butter

Do you think i can take my hgh immediatly after meal amd go bed?

My goal is get in contest shape[/quote]
You will be fine. I have short window before my last meal and gh pre bed and it’s not affected me. Consistency is key, don’t overthink it

[Marc]

Today’s a rest day for me, check in with Patrick this morning weight dropped 0.5kg overnight so 0.2kg from my previous lowest bodyweight in prep that I seen a few days ago. Condition coming through some more today, Patrick was happy with what we are seeing from minimal changes since I started prep 4 weeks 1 day ago.

Lower kcals today, 30 mins cardio on walking pad AM and late afternoon.

Client work, sports massage / posing, mobility and haircut is making up my day today. Another day to take a step forwards, 1 day at a time

[Marc]

50mg divide by 3ml.

10iu gives 1666 mcg which imo is a solid daily dose

Pre bed

Insulin pin

SubQ

Daily

Sorry mate, can you give the same advice about bpc and tb? For injury[/quote]

BPC – 250-500mcg daily

TB500 – 2-5mg weekly

Duration 4-8 weeks. [/quote]

Are they both mixed with 3ml bac water too?[/quote]
How much water you add can vary, but once you know what dose you want, how big your Vial is of each peptide, if you type into google peptide calculator you will be able to work out how much bac water to add and where to draw this out too on your insulin needle also

[Marc]

I personally take mine after meal 1 and then again a second serving of each with my last meal of the day. Depending if you are assisted and what your bloodwork says, is a good indication of how much of each to take a day.

[Marc]

Morning all, check in with Patrick today bodyweight up 0.7kg after yesterday’s higher day food but bodyweight is still 1kg down on average over the last week. Lower calorie day planned for today and it’s also leg day

Session for today early afternoon will be:

Seated calf raise x3
Seated ham curl x2
Leg ext x2
45 degree leg press x2
Lying leg curl x2
Adductor x1
Abductor x3

Posing rounds
6 mins stairmaster

Another day to get after it, looking forward to today’s session

[Marc]

I’ve used both, results have been the same personally for me.

[Marc]

Things are moving, two days in a row a new prep low. 0.5kg down from yesterday, bodyweight today is 122.6kg. The look is improving, focus is one day at a time. Food today will be higher kcals and I will be training back and biceps today – my upper 1 training plan.

[Marc]

I train abductors directly when I move into comp prep. Not to build muscle but I have found when I get leaner this direct exercise helps to bring out more glute lines. If even it’s placebo I personally feel my glutes getting harder and I take 3 sets 12-15 reps at the end of each of my training sessions,

But what you need is really based on your needs / Training volume. I think it’s important to know what your body needs and adjust accordingly and don’t worry about what others are doing

[Marc]

Rest day for me today, sports massage earlier today, 30 mins on walking pad fasted and another 30 mins later today and posing . Check in with Patrick lower kcals food today. New prep Low this morning 123.1kg 0.4kg down from my previous prep low so things are moving with this carb cycling approach
