I fully agree with Hilly here…..
i would be removing the easy calories first….fruit juice, fast carb powders, oils, making sure i have solid whole food choices in place. You can make a big dent in your calorie intake here and as Hilly states add in some more movement 20 mins steady state fasted cardio.
I generally like a small recovery phase so i would have liked you to transition to baseline drugs for 6 weeks have some bloodwork and be ready to go! 250mg/wk Test and potentially 100-150mg/wk Masteron – you could still do this and start your prep cycle escalation at 14 weeks out and use faster esters so you get up to peak saturation a little quick than the enanthate esters.

Hey Guys…..
Busy rest day today.
Cardio, posing, haircut, physio, suit fitting – that took up half my day! The massage as needed today im feeling a little beat up at the minute. Weight is coming down nicely i woke up this morning and you know when you’ve dropped. Who you’ve done this over and over again. You wake up and within the first 2-3 mins of being awake before you step on the scales you know
“I’ve dropped today” 328.2lbs – 28lbs of my current composition we will be a very nice 300lbs i can feel it.
Then it was back to the laptop for check ins which I’ve boxed off. But i have a couple to catch up with tomorrow AM and a new starter plan to box off. Then im back in for push and triceps.
Ive got an ECG and echo cardiogram booked in for June which will be interesting to see the results of.
If you want to know anything please don’t hesitate to ask!

Hey buddy, as you are wanting to get in and out in 6 weeks the goal is to be more aggressive here with the deficit….So for me you need to be moving more however you are wanting to achieve this. First thing i notice is your protein is very low here….160g on a training day. For me for weight i would be looking at minimum 2.5-2.75g per kg of BW on day on both days Calories would only be 2500 kcals with your increased protein
add in cardio I would be going straight in at 30 mins daily fasted + 10k steps – assess after a week and make adjustments as needed.

Hey Buddy we would really need to see some physique pictures to give a proper assessment. Then we can assess body fat levels, as whats optimal for me body-fat wise in a growing phase may be different for you.
If digestion, sleep, performance, appetite are all good this is a good sign and 1lb a week is a steady rate of gain. But again pictures would be useful here buddy

The best bet would be tailored fit……
Charles Tyrwhitt is a chain I believe they suited the England Rugby team. I got a nice shirt from them for my friends wedding. They measured me up and were very helpful with tailoring too

Evening Guys – 329.4lbs this AM Cardio and posing rounds boxed off then in for Push. Strength still holding nicely in the recovery phase. If not taking a few progressions here and there. pull is the only session where I am really having a battle with holding strength, towards the end of the week is where it hits me the Pull session after legs. But soon the goods will be back in and we will be flying again.
Ive had a little tendinitis issue for a few weeks so I’ve gone to a arm giant set, on one session and 2 super sets on the other….. and its been class rather than top set back off for 2 exercises. May run with this for a while as my arms have definitely looked and felt fuller these last few weeks.
Filming Pull and Hams for the site tomorrow which will be fun!

Evening guys! Rest day today. Cardio, steps, some check ins then off to a show to watch a client who took home the win in mens physique. And narrowly missed out on the overall. Weight has dropped a few lbs this week. And we have now had the first food drop of prep. 1st day today on lower food! Am I shredded yet?
Up early for a busy day tomorrow and back in for push with the boys!

Hey buddy,
Great to have you on the site, So from the looks of the pics it seems you have the structure for a good physique. But to give an honest breakdown we would need to see some check in photos not in vest and joggers in natural or better lighting, in your mandatory poses for your class. Not black and white or with joggers and a vest. This will then give us a clear idea of where you are.
Enjoy the site! and soak up as much information as you can

Pull and biceps at Elite physique today and in person check in with Anton, who looking solid. 2 weeks out from his show. We have pushed him hard (just 35g intra carb) he’s never reached true condition before and taking over his prep 8 weeks ago we had to bring him in quick. We won our trial show 2 weeks ago with no proper peak. Now we dig in anther week before dropping output and reducing inflammation. And peak him for the main show!
Then it’s rebound time ready for a bi off season.
The first time today i felt the drop off in recovery properly in a session. Everything felt heavy….So i spoke to cal and we will be reducing workload over the next week or so to make sure we are fresh ready for anabolic to go in. Where recovery will be greater.
Rest day tomorrow and another client showing who’s looking onnnnn!

Keep 2 rotations buddy. This still gives you enough exercise variation, whilst still having the frequency to keep consistent movement patterns in so progressions can be taken.
Adding another rotation can complicate things. Until things stall it start to feel off rinse the exercises you have buddy

Here are my recent bloods….which I’m pretty happy with 6th week into my cruise…..
Coming off my biggest ever cycle which started at
300mg/wk test E
600mg/wk Primo
150mg/wk NPP
And titrated up to:-
500mg/wk Test E
1500mg/wk Primo
300mg/wk NPP
Reaching my heaviest very weight 341.6lbs
Eating the most I’ve ever ate consistently for months on end reaching circa 7000kcals
My training moving to another level in terms of strength, accuracy and intensity.
Things to take into consideration…..
I will be donating a pint of blood next week not because my blood is thick but I like to keep in line with this and i always feel great after. My haemoglobin has risen around 10-12 points since starting the cycle.
My red cells are a little low so I will implement vitamin B6 here to bring back up and this will help with slightly elevated prolactin.
CK is high…..but it always is taking into account the level of maculae mass I hold and the way I train, even after a week total rest this would still be elevated.
I manage inflammation as well as possible but I will double up on curecoming and add in some Glutathione, which will also help with my ALT score. My liver is fine apart from my ALT which again will be elevated from my size, training intensity and the amount of protein I consume 430g daily.
My HDL is low……it is always low. It’s gradually got lower each push I’ve been through and the bigger I’ve got.
I’m super consistent with my supps.
Love heart
Vital support
Omega 3
Red krill
I will increase the dosage here so my omegas are slightly higher and citrus bergamot is increased. This will be perky down to my size, my diet, and some genetic components. Overall my cholesterol is fine.
Triglycerides will start to right them-self as bodyweight comes down and calories come down. So nothing of concern.
Hormones as expected. My oestrogen naturally runs high. It always has. I do t see the need to take any AI’s here and as prep cycle compounds go in. Primo and masteron at a higher dose this will bring this down pretty quickly.
And that about covers the bloodwork
I will be having an echocardiogram soon. And after this prep I will be having a full calcium score to make sure everything is good. I will run these once a year moving forward.

Hi Nathan…
Hope your well bro. And thanks for sharing your bloods?
1. When you say your on cruise is that 250mg Test a week? Or TRT dose?
2. Don’t you get any gyno sides with your estrogen and prolactin so high?
3. Whats would be a sweet spot for estrogen to get best gains and strength?
4. Was your estrogen higher on course or on cruise?
[/quote]
Hey buddy. So current dosage is:-Test 300mg/wk
Primo 150mg/wkNo bud I don’t get any gyno sides here I feel this has a lot to do with body composition also…..if I was fat with these numbers then potentially yes. But again my E2 and prolactin have always ran pretty high. 6 days Post comp after 22 week prep oestro 167 and prolactin 497
Then after my last cruise before this cycle which was test E 250mg/wk Masteron 100mg/wk oestro 241 prolactin 329
Everyone is different in terms of where there oestrodial sits and what’s sides they get. Again body comp, tolerance to certain compounds and dosages. So this is why bloods are always important.
My oestrogen on cycle I can guarantee was lower as my primo was ran at a higher dosage which will Impact E2 it’s only when I have pulled this compound down so low I would have had a increase in oestrodial.
Hope this helps bud
