I can only speak from personal experiences but whenever I’ve started a cycle bodyweight has jumped by 3-5lbs in first week and then dropped by 1 or 2lbs in the next week and then held for a week or until foods are upped or reduced.
After around 3 weeks strength should start to increase along with sex drive and you’ll just generally feel good.
There will be a steady increase in body weight as you’ll be upping food I’m assuming and as you’ll be aware it’s never as specific as 0.5-1% increases week on week. It’s up one week, same for maybe a week or two, bigger jump for a week etc. But it all goes up if foods going up. Same as when you diet down.

Rest day today. Was up in Doncaster with the gf as she gets her bits packed for new adventure in London. Going to be fun spending some time down there. Can find change tough as I like routine but this should be easy as will be based in one place so will have that as a second home. Kings Gym in Mitcham is 20mins away so will train out of there which I’m looking forward to.
Rest of day was spent doing a bit of work for Mortgage clients and out for a walk through the park and along the river. Nice and relaxing. Then did some posing tonight, just getting used to hitting the mandatories and quarter turns so I can get into the pose nice and quickly.
Got legs tomorrow so nice and rested for that.

Hi Tim
Just wanted to drop by and say great video on adjusting to morning training. Nice to see that there are others who thrive on the morning routine and have successfully adjusted their life to incorporate this, especially one who is striving for their pro card.
Will have a good thorough read through your log and get myself up to speed.
6 weeks to go – think I’ve jumped in at the right time!!

Yeah mate I believe it can work. I think training at any time when stress is at its lowest has to be a good thing. As long as you’ve had enough chance to wake up and get your body going, and one meal you, you should be good to go. Hopefully I’m proof of that, and I’m sure there are plenty of others who have achieved way more than I have who also do it.
Yeah man 6 weeks out from PCA finals so should be good to read exactly what’s happening. I’m very straight to the point, I don’t try hype anything up, I’ll just say exactly what has been done in the session and how my days are spent. It might seem like each day is the same and to be honest most the time it is. I like to live a simple life as much as possible. I’m not one for being all over social media, constant stories, voicing my opinion on and everyone and everything, I’m not interested in that. I love bodybuilding for the challenge and the educational aspect, not because it’s the in thing or makes me popular on social media. You’ll always get no frills approach with me so hopefully that works for people 🙂

Hi, I tried lats and quads for first time this offseason and had exactly same. Quads was worse. I think if you put a smaller dose into a new site it’s not as bad. Don’t make my mistake and jab 3ml into it ha. I split mine so if it’s 3ml of gear I’ll split it between both lats.

PUSH rotation 1 today. Did it at 4pm today at S20 gym in Sheffield as i had an appointment with Aaron at mofobodymechanics at 6:15. Worked from home from 8 til 3 then went gym. The session was a good one, lifts progressed and the fire was there. Think it’s safe to say it’s not just a one off and it’s no coincidence it’s since the change in gear. Frustrating to have lost 7 weeks but lots of positives to take from it and part of the learning. This has made me even more determined, final 6 weeks of prep will be owned!!

Hi Tim, enjoying following along with your progress here. Obviously without a batch test you wont know if your old lab was bunk, but do you mind sharing what lab it was and what lab you’ve moved on to?
Was Bayer – Testoviron Depot (Test e) and Medtech – Primo and Mast P. Switched to Pharmacom as I’d been told very good things and checked lab results, and everything back on track. I’d also had good results from Magnus and a few close mates have too. DNA lab has been very good too.

No way. If anything so you aren’t passing sickness on to others. I don’t want someone in the gym who’s going to make me ill. Also are you going to have a productive workout? I’d say rest a couple days and then go when feeling yourself again, eating right and not run down. By training you’ll just long out the period of being ill and make it worse.
I would look at your health supps and make sure they are in place too. If you are prone to getting ill that might be a sign you need to add some health supps to support immune system.

PULL rotation 3 today, and check in day.
First thing, check in. Fasted weight this morning was 228.6 which is up 1lb from 227.6 however condition is better, more detail and fuller. Physique seems to be coming back to life and body responding to the new gear.
Training day diet changed only, not rest day:
M1 (60mins pre workout) – 60g protein from whey, 60g ground rice, 100g blueberries, 10g coconut oil
15mins pre workout -18g prepare
Intra workout – 54g MPS Max, 60g sustainM2 (90mins post workout) – 300g chicken, 100g basmati rice, 100g cereal with almond milk, 200ml coconut water with 3g creatine
M3 – 240g white fish, 55g basmati rice, 200g zero fat cottage cheese, veg
M4 – 300g 5% mince beef, veg
M5 – 100g 12% salmon, 10 egg whites, veg
No changes to steps, they stay at 7000 a day.
Should see more changes this week. Another hard push and respond Thursday.
All lifts progressed in the PULL session which I did actually expect given how I’m responding since changing the lab. Will push harder and harder to progress the lifts. Love the challenge that prep brings as you get deeper into it, becomes as much mental as physical.
This evening I had some posing practice with my good friend Dean Butler. He has a good eye for detail and won’t blow smoke up my arse. Really puts me through my paces and this I believe brings out that extra detail. But more importantly it gets you comfortable holding the poses, learning how to breath shallow and get into poses nice and quickly. First in to the pose and last out of it. Give the judges as long as possible to look. All eyes on you.

I would roll with full body split in this instance. That way if you had to have two rest days in a row it’s not an issue because even if you Trained say 3 sessions a week you will still have hit each bodypart 3 times. Just make sure the sessions are hit with maximal effort and your maximum intensity.

Rest day. Very productive day of work. In a good place in and out of work and really motivated to achieve. I do find this is quite common when prepping for a show, but I find it also transfers when not prepping for a show. Teaches you discipline and organisation and to always push harder to get more even when things get tough.
Check in day tomorrow so I’m hoping for noticeable changes since last week given the way the week has gone and how I’m feeling since switching the gear. Fingers crossed.

Yeah give it a go. On non training day could push fats higher and carbs more moderate. And on training day have say one meal purely protein and fat (first meal if not training til evening or last meal if training morning) then add fats to other meals (coconut oil a favourite of mine), peanut butter in oats, use salmon as protein source one meal and mince beef another.

Legs rotation 3 this morning. Another good session in the book. Three on the bounce now so something seems to have changed which I’m happy with. All lifts were progressed so can only get better from here.
Took a tip from James Hollingshead with the V Squat and applied it today. I’d been progressing the lift but feeling it less and less in quads and more in hams glutes and lower back. Foot placement had got too high on platform so moved feet lower so knees were slightly over toes when in squat position and bingo, quads fucked up as a result. Small tweaks make a big difference.
Rest day tomorrow and another shot of the gear from the new lab. Will be a week on new gear this Thursday in time for check in so will see what JP thinks of how I’m looking and see if we are on track for finals still.

Rest day. Went for a walk round the grounds of an old country house near mine this morning. Love being outdoors whenever I can be. Clears the mind and you feel you’re taking in life rather than letting it pass by sitting indoors. Plus can’t miss out on the sunshine, been class and makes you feel so good. Got the food shop done too. Can always tells what stage you’re at in prep based on food bill. Start of prep over £100, middle of prep £75, end of prep never more than £50. Spent the afternoon at friends having a bbq. Makes such a difference cooking the meat on bbq rather than oven. Spent most the time chasing round after my mates little lad, so definitely got the steps in today.
Nice chilled evening ready for legs tomorrow morning and a busy final week of the month at work.

Slowly reduce cals week by week. Increase steps gradually weekly. But the two don’t always get increased/reduced at the same time. One may increase and the other remain unchanged and visa versa. Don’t use all your tools at once.
Don’t change any pre Intra and post initially. Work from rest days first and then increase output. Go between these two for a period then remove caps from workout day meals.
Monitor lifts each session to keep trying to hit the numbers / progress lifts. Don’t drop the intensity, but equally make sure you adjust volume accordingly the more you reduce cals and lower body fat gets.
Don’t be afraid to rest either. Don’t burn yourself out at the start.
