    Mark I didn’t / I don’t care sorry . My fitness feels insane using the dada itpp , my joints feel insane and digestion perfect from the bpc etc . So I just don’t care . When I try something and I start finding Myself into positions that other people have never been , I then just couldn’t give a shit what they say. And I really like Steve , he is awesome . I am just focused on results and when I am getting them so fast , I couldn’t give a fuckkkkkkkk what someone else tells me

    Jorge , using them , just not listing . They have always been used will always be used

    Needed to hear this today! Sometimes we just need to listen to our bodies and stop giving a shit about what other ppl say or think…if it works and it feels right keep doing it 💪🏻🙏🏻thank you for this!

    277.4 , superb push session

    Prime flat press : best ever pressing by a good margin , eveyrhtjng to proper depth as per

    3 plates top peg + 3 plates + 15kg mid x 3 reps

    4 plates and 1.25kg top + 3 plates and 10 mid x 1 rep

    5 plates and 1.25 top + 2 plates middle x 3 reps

    6 plates and 10 top + 1 plate middle x 2

    8 plates top x 1

    Eveyrhjng very low rep there , but I can get a couple of the 2 into 3s and the 3s into 4s soon 🙂

    Super deep dips

    3 plates x 6

    4 plates x 4

    5 plates x 1

    Pec dec

    5 plates pinned x 5

    5 and half pinned x 3

    Pushdown 3 sets x 6 x 5 x 5

    Lateral 5 sets x 6 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 reps

    Very happy , will go over 280 at some point in the next couple weeks , have absolutely no clue how that’s jumping like that , but hey. It feels like I’m finally tapping fully back into muscle memory , but it just took a hefty fucking dose to get it coming back 😂 , I will fly through 280 and 290 will be very doable . I am absolutely not fat either as I am just not adjusting food . Obv a boat load of water but it’s not just going to be water on water on water all the way to 290 + 😂 . I now will stop even saying where the push will end , i will just let it do its thing.

    Hey JP , hope all is well! Did you ever get to that vigorous Steve video that said ITPP usage cancelled out BPC/TB500 benefits when taken concurrently ?

    200mg 3 times a week for the initial 6-8 weeks and then can pull back to twice a week or hold at 3 times.

    Does it matter when you take it ? AM /PM ? Empty stomach ? Thank you for answering

    Seems to work good at night stacked with 100-200 mg vitamin c and also helpful for the lymphatic system pre bed . I take 100mg each (5-7 nights a week)

    No Steve is very very smart , I’m pals with him , so defo don’t discredit anything he says. I will watch the vid today 🙂 .

    He’s def a smart dude for sure! Curious to know your synopsis after watching and if you think it’s not totally counterproductive to running both after hearing it. I’m sure there’s ppl he refers to that take far more ITPP as well… so that could be a factor as well

    I totally agree , i just heard the video and was like wtf .. entitled “Never Mix BPC 157 Or TB 500 With This One Drụg!”

    He goes .. “ if you inhibit angiogenesis but want to use TB500/BPC157 as a recovery aide it would be sending mixed signals “ is what he says in the video

    Clearly your physique has a hell of a lot more muscle than his , so I’d listen to you way before him.. but still an interesting listen

    Can’t eat , can’t breath , so no , useless drug in a push once your big and need food and need to carry bodyweight around. It’s the exact polar opposite to getting big , you need to be able to eat and be as fit as possible .

    Makes sense. Vigorous Steve just released a video saying you should NEVER mix ITPP and BPC157/Tb500 .. this sounds like bollocks and the first I’ve heard of this . Your opinion on this ?

    BPC-157 and TB-500 both promote enhanced angiogenesis (blood vessel formation), while ITPP promotes anti-angiogenic properties.. is supposedly the reasoning

    Adductor machine

    It wasn’t ruptured so didn’t need surgery

    Took me 10 months to fully feel like I could lift heavy heavy again

    I did daily rehab of blood flow

    Couldn’t adductor or quad compound

    Is tren something you will absolutely never again use on a push , i know you’ve touched on this a few times just curious if that’s where you still stand on it

    I just grew the most I ever have in a 15 week push , I didn’t get sick , or show any signs of inflammation , I didn’t need a single rest day and did that while juggling a multi million pound brand 🙂 . I will get the same again in the next 15 weeks .

    Right now I’m at pretty much all time size , that’s 100 pounds of actual stage weight since I started . It’s an amount that I guarentee you cannot even comprehend in terms of gains , so then getting 110/120 pounds which is what I want , takes what it takes .

    I KNOW more drugs will result in a better outcome , you just don’t think it does as you aren’t close to needing those amounts .

    You can follow the log , watch me grow the fastest I ever have again, and then draw whatever conclusions you want 🙂

    How much do you think KPV/BPC oral caps help with gut health? I’m assuming taking more of the injectable doesn’t yield same results or you would’ve done that? The orals just seem a bit harder to source , but if you think they make a big enough difference for gut health I’ll get them/find them 😉

    My apologies for duplicate post, i wasn’t able able to delete my other one for some reason , but after a week of getting my sleep back to normal schedule (it was under 6 hours due to a lot of personal stress) my RHR is back to 69… i even went to dr and had everything looked at. It seems as though stress and lack of sleep will do far more damage than we think to these markers. BP is good and cardio is daily… gonna try to increase intensity on that but 69 seems to be my average hr which is a lot better than what i thought it was , but would still like to get that to 60. Moral of the story stress and sleep loss will wreck your heart …

    To follow up after 3 days of good sleep .. it’s back down to about 70 .. which i could still improve but def better. For about a week straight my sleep was terrible 5 hours or less .. and lost 2 close friends . Crazy how much stress and sleep will affect those. But I’m def determined to get it 60s 🙏🏻with some HIT session . I also noticed if i forget to wear my cpap it’s also higher , so i need to cut the crap with that . These are all things that some of us may overlook or may think minimally affect things but as I’ve seen in last ten days these factors can certainly make a big difference in the big picture

    I dropped again as expected , and I can now clearly see I do not need to diet 😂 . I had never ran a 3g test cycle + the 2 bottles gh , I moved off 13 pounds water in what , a week ? And I can see I have a few more pounds to come off, so prob 16-17 pounds water . I have never held that before so it made it really hard to see when it’s that much , how much was messyness or not . Well once it came off I could see instantly that I’m still really fucking lean! So that’s diet over lol. Back to the main Cycle and continue for more

    Only diff is I will instead of the 3g test , run 2650 and instead have 50mg nandrolone a day / 350 a week , just for some of the stuff nandrolone can bring to the table that test and eq cannot !

    So we looking at 2650 test , 1500 eq , 350 nandrolone , 2 bottles gh . That’s a wild cycle , but fuck it , it’s about who has the most muscle and then is the most conditioned , I want to be both ! And I can endure the fuckery of that cycle ( just )

    I got some triseba today off hilly as he was down for the athlete shoot . Whenever I’m stuck to get stuff Hilly usually finds it for me 😂 , literally the most resourceful human I know ! so will see how that feels instead of Lantus , at 13iu a day still

    T3 is just 25 , no t4

    I really want to squeeze out another 14-16 weeks on this. I’m already at all time strength , so I think literally from here getting as far as I can past that will do a job and then I suppose it’s prep time and see what can be done on a stage.

    I am very ready to crack on with the rest of life now after this too and for me to turn the TBJP brand into what I know it can become , we are on track to do our 3rd consecutive £1M turnover month , and this is before anything to do with Dubai , or other areas . I can clearly see the path to doing £2-3M turnover months , but it will take every ounce of my focus and energy to manage it, which I’m very very up for .

    How’s your BP and RHR generally when you’re blasting ? Even with hard cardio it seems RHR of guys 250 plus will never be that of lance Armstrong 🤣

    Do you or have you ever thought about doing some hiit a couple times a week ?

    That’s a good idea , i will def do that thank
    You. And i didn’t mean to post this twice , i tried to delete the duplicate but the it stayed up🤯

    My blood pressure is under control 125/70 .. so i just need to try to drive this down a little bit , just gonna try to go harder on the cardio

    Dr isn’t worried about HR but i would still like to see it lower

    I am indeed

    Is mito stack something you can take indefinitely or would you suspect there’s receptor down regulation at a certain point? I love the way i feel on it along with klow stack and are hoping to run indefinitely

    261.2 , as expected . I will be back up a little tmo as it’s a rest day and then I expect to continue down ro 258 ish by end of next week where then I think I will hold , and then make another cal adjustment . I’m happy! I would say my glute ham are much better than before , which was a big goal , chest , shoulders arms are about the same , maybe a tiny bit behind but I will have them surpassed it comfortably in the next push . My back thickness is the only thing I can see that is a bit down still but I will have it matching by end of next push , before I start to diet

    I have 3 new glute pieces arriving today , which we will get to work on making better , they are prototypes . One is a standing hip thrust , one is a kickback machine and one is a keeling thrust .

    All in time as I have very much maxed out my current glute machines and need a break off them after months and months of hammering away at them

    I know you hate these lol but are you still running push, pull , legs .. off.. repeat?
