Hello Evolutionary Members,

I'm entering a 5k Challenge via Aussie Gym Whores. I posted onto the AGW forum the following as a way of introduction but I'm not allowed to mention the sponsors.

New member, registered through @xgresearch whose been taking care of my Peptides & Sarms. I've been a customer of XGResearch for just under a year. Mostly, HGH, BPC-157, TB500, Tesamorelin and GHK-CU Copper due on-going injuries, aging and combat training.

Thank you to @DofRandD for sponsoring my AAS Injection Cycle. XGResearch were out of stock and so a collaboration was made. I'm very thankful.

I do hope my log is well received.

Thank you to team o

My Story
•••

Began on the last Sunday of March 2024, when I woke up screaming 'I don't want to be fat no more!' I wanted to be fit, strong, agile, and springy like a Gazelle.

But let's be real, I was more like an overweight Kong 🦍. So, I started my weight loss journey and ended up becoming a spider monkey 🐒 instead. 'Did someone say '🍌 "

Now, as a spider monkey, I'm determined to remaster Muay Thai ... and capture a championship belt I love shiny things ✨

Seriously, I'm no Buakaw or a Rodtung or Alex Pereira. I'm a journeyman a 'Ronin' of sorts. I love fighting. My last fight was 2018 and captured a Mauy Thai title Bangla Stadium 77kg. Alright, a Bangla Stadium isn't nothing to write home about. Bragging rights is reserved for the men and women making their way into the sport. If you ever want to have your first Muay Thai fight or a fight in general. Fly and train in Thailand minimum 12 weeks and then go for it.

1. I've circled the problematic areas I want to tackle during the my proposed cycle. Shoulders need a fair bit of muscle development.

2. I'm carrying weight around the waist which has always been a problem for me. Especially, when I was heading into the mid 40's and now 50's. Actually, I lost a bit of weight around there!

You know, could it be the 6 month of hgh treatment that my body was able to keep burning fat during my cleansing phase started in May '24?

3. Legs: They look like freaking toothpicks! I used to kick doors off 69' Chevys.

Tons of squats, lunges, and kicks coming soon.

Results: Right knee tendon rehabilitation has been without problems and ble to perform deep squats without pain since treatment as of rewriting this post.

Right shoulder has been great too! Very happy with the treatment. But, I will be starting a cycle for the right shouldewhagain when the challenge starts, with addition of NPP. The reason is I rely on Boxing to setup elbows and leg kicks.

Longetivity: Once every 1½ years since 2015.

1 x 10mg Thymosin Alpha 1 ED - 21 Days.

Honestly, I'll leave it for Phase 2. I'm in no rush. Besides my workouts are resistence HIIT more than enough to keep myself occupied. I don’t want to go to a gym as I like training with kettlebells in a park. I'm not ready to lock myself into a fully-loaded training sport specific regime. That's for Phase 3 of my strength and development program.

The following 12 Week Cutting Cycle was written by Tilda @xgresearch and revised by myself. The ebooks from https://irongorillas.com has been huge help too!

I'm experienced with PEDS but if members can advise where I can map out my journey. Will be appreciated.

I'm serious about capturing an Australian Championship belt so I'm open to suggestions. Although, I'm stoic on keeping it injectable for the first 8 weeks. But, if members think I need to run Mast E too! I'll definitely reconsider.

For myself personally I want to know if running the 'Wolverine Healing Therapy" & NPP together would make a difference.

Sarms: Weeks 8 - 12

1 x SR9009
1 x GW-501516

I've chosen a 30 Days On 30 Days Off protocol for both. I want to see the impact they have on overall fitness and well-being.

Cardiovascular fitness is part of my. I just want to trial the above and see how things leading into Phase 2 of my training journey.

AAS: Weeks 1 - 12

2 x NPP 150mg (R) Shoulder per week.
2 x Sustanon 250mg per week.
2 x Primo 200mg per week.

It'll be my second time running NPP and Primo. But, I was stacking with Masteron. I don't want to run too many compounds this time round. So I've opted for Sustanon instead of Cypionate. Cypionate I prefer for lean muscle gains. Whereas Sustanon I prefer for a cutting cycle. This is from own personal experience.

NPP helps with calcification build up around the (R) shoulder rotator cuff. NPP is a lot less restricting on my lungs than Decanonate but I feel the benefits for my shoulder around the 8-10 week mark.

Conclusion: First 8 weeks I only want to run the above alone. Especially, to see the response my body has from the NPP & Primo.

Peptides: Weeks 1-12+

3 x 400mcg BPC157 5mg + TB500 5mg Blend.
2 x Tesamorelin 500mg 5 Days On 5 Days Off.
4 x GHK-CU Copper 50mg.

(R) Shoulder fully-loaded as my (R) Knee is near perfect from the last cycle.

⚠️ HGH: 3iu daily is what I want to also administer as September is fast approaching. Still waiting for the XGR: HGH 240iu to arrive?

Orals: AAS or Sarms or Nah ...

XGResearch will sponsor the following come week six. Though the results I have from Anavar & Winny in the past have been awesome. I'm leaning towards the Sarms. But, that's if I decide to or not. I think the SR9009 & GW501516 will be enough.

Option 1: AAS Weeks 6 - 12.

Anavar 50mg or Turinabol 40mg Everday.
Anavar 50mg or Winstrol 25mg Everday.

Option 2: Sarms Week 6 - 12.

2 x MK677 20mg Everday.
2 x Mk2866 20mg Eveyday.

Option 3: No Altogether

Nasal Spray Peptides

I've been administering The Power of Three, Semax, Selank and Oxytocin. I came off of Dexamphetamine in February '24. Long-term use was causing bouts of anxiety. I do have severe ADHD, however I don't want to be on the medication as it was interfering my cardiovascular fitness.

The Power of Three are a non-addictive alternative to ADHD treatment. I achieve a sense of calm, focus and community control. Meaning, I don't mind being around people when I have taken Oxytocin.

Dosage: 2-3 pumps per session.

If I want a bit of energy and focus at a snap I use Semax 260mcg. Otherwise Selank 2260mcg if I feel anxious to calm down the nerves.

Oxytocin 260mcg if I don't want to be around people but have to because of work.

Important Note: excerpt from The Power of Three article. XGResearch asked to ensure the following is posted.

"Semax, Selank, and Oxytocin are peptides and hormones that have gained popularity in some circles for their potential cognitive-enhancing and mood-modulating effects. Here's why some people might consider them similar to recreational drugs:

Misconceptions and hype: Online forums and social media may perpetuate exaggerated claims or misconceptions about these substances' effects, leading to their recreational use.

However, it's essential to note that:

- These substances have legitimate medical uses and should only be used under medical supervision.
- Their effects and interactions can be unpredictable and potentially harmful when used recreationally.
- More research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms, safety, and efficacy in humans.

Remember, using these substances without medical guidance can be risky. Always consult a healthcare professional before using any medication or supplement." - Tilda XGResearch

During the eating phase. I eat around the clock with the majority of carbs, proteins, fats and all sugars in the first meal. Calorie intake is dependent on how I feel. If I don't feel eating a meal. I simply don't. I don't like forcing myself to eat. I don't look at food as luxury I look at food as a resource of pure energy. Meal 4, is for when I train 3 times which is generally on lifting days.

I'm a Barbara O'Neil follower since 2014. She was my goto during the time I was battling cancer.

Upon Waking: 500ml - 1Litre of water.

Meal 1: King meal.
Meal 2: Noble meal.
Meal 3: Peasant meal.
Meal 4: Grazing.

Before Bed: Okazu - A Japanese side dish is known as “okazu” in Japanese, and they are an essential part of a traditional Japanese meal. These side dishes can range from simple pickles to more complex dishes like simmered vegetables or deep-fried tofu.

I like to consume an “okazu” to help with burning fat while. Of course there are resources that suggest otherwise. It's a ritual I took on while training and fighting in Japan.

Individual variability is in effect here and the ritual isn't a magic bullet. It's what I do during a cutting cycle or cutting weight for a fight.

𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Thursday - Sunday evenings.

I believe in the power of fasting. I want to hit 73.5kg as I'll be 3kgs shy of fightweight. I'll use the fasting to see how much weight I can lose without the loss of energy after a 72 hour water or dry fast.

✔️ 36hr water fast weekly.
✔️ 72hr water fast monthly, building up to weekly by October. I hope to be!

Awesome start to the log man. Thanks for sharing your story and all the detail. You definitely have a crazy story. This is going to be epic!
 
keep us updated on the "wolverine healing method" keen to hear about your experience and if it's effective
 
Good start. Detail is there

what's your goal for your 5k challenge.
I thought I'd answer your question first. I've been away busy with life and trying my hardest to keep out of trouble as of late!.

No Regrets
•••


I'm convicted to make up for lost time. In my youth, I had natural gifts, hand speed was the greatest of them, but I let laziness hold me back.

When I went Ronin. I didn't train overly hard at all. I was still in the frame of mind of party hard(er-est), train harder (sorta), suffer later (nearly died numerous times). Until, I was diagnosed with cancer, that obviously came to a stop!

I need this Ceo. I need accountability. I need to shut my mouth. I need to do the work. I need this for my own personal sanity!

Aussie All Day Brekkie Diet

I'm seriously looking at the 'Aussie All Day Brekkie Diet' first meal of my day over the 4 days of eating.

If my intake for the day is 2750 - 3500 calories. My first meal will be close to 1800-2250 calories.

✔️ Ezekiel or Rye Sourdough (Homemade Recipe).
✔️ 4 Eggs.
✔️ Baked Beans (Homemade Recipe).
✔️ Beef Sausages.
✔️ Sirloin Steak (300g).
✔️ Zucchini Sautéed.
✔️ Hash Brown.
✔️ Button Mushrooms.
❌ Bacon.

I don't like bacon nor pork. Not for religious reasons. Nope ... absolutely not. T'was that stupid movie 'Babe' about a baby pig that could talk and how it changed the lives of a small village town in England. It's given me PTSD.

Imagine a movie called 'Baby' about a baby talking cow! Freaking Hell.

Steroids in Muay Thai, MMA, Boxing

Being around the sport of Boxing nearly all of my life. Muay Thai 34 years. MMA 28 years. I've seen and know of fighters using PEDS. Judo and wrestling too!

During those years. I was like and rather perplexed,'Don't Australian promoters test for steroids?'.

As a man of integrity. I feel guilt as I'm seriously will be on a PED Cycle because I know for a fact. The competition is on the juice too! As young as early 20's.

I scoped the Muay Thai 72.5kg Pro Division and I can tell who is and who isn't on it.

Came up in conversation the other day. The Mark Hunt debate! I do agree with Mark but I also don't. The reason being is,'If you can't beat them. Join 'em'.

Reality
•••


Being realistic, I'd be a fool to think I can beat a man on natural organic supplementation? It's not going to happen especially not at my age!

I'd probably be stripped of a title if Muay Thai sanctions learned of my PED cycle. I'll be good with it though as it wouldn't have been the chemicals. It would have been the blood, sweat and.tears the hard work to prepare mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually for each and every one of the fights..Leading up to the moment.

Conclusion

PED Cycle NOW! Deal with the consequences later.

My journey with fasting is deeply personal and rooted in my experiences. Growing up as an orphan in the 70s, I was no stranger to going without food - it was just a normal part of life. I remember one time, I stabbed a 16-year-old bully who tried to steal my savaloy from my plate of mashed potatoes, cabbage, and tomato sauce. Yep, I was only 6 years old!

But as a child, I found faith early and as a Christian, I discovered the power of meditation and prayer. This helped me develop a deeper connection with my body and mind. Seriously, the times I starved were the times I would pray and cry out to God to make the hunger pains stop!

•••
Athletic Background
•••


My background in Amateur Boxing and Judo also taught me a lot about my body and its capabilities. With same-day weigh-ins and frequent competitions, I learned to listen to my body and understand its needs. This knowledge has been invaluable in my Muay Thai journey.

Cancer and the Power of Fasting
•••


But it was my battle with cancer that really transformed my relationship with fasting. I tried everything to stay alive - including fasting, superfoods, and CBD oil therapy. I learned about autophagy and even attempted a 40-day water fast (making it to day 23!). I was inspired by Dr. Valter Longo's work and his own 40-day dry fast. Then there's Dr. Yoshihiro Nishi, a Japanese physician who reportedly did a 40-day dry fast three times under close medical supervision. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

The Benefits of Fasting
•••


Fasting has been a game-changer for me. It's helped me develop mental toughness, clarity, and a deeper understanding of my body. During my cancer journey, fasting gave me a sense of control and empowerment when everything else felt chaotic.

Now, as I return to Muay Thai at 51, I knew I needed to tap into that same resilience and determination that got me through tough times as a kid. It's not just about physical discipline; it's about spiritual rebirth, self-reflection, and connection with my body. I want to be that kid again, who called upon God to give me strength when I hunger and training becomes intense. During the 3 days.

Fasting & PEDS
•••


I'll reiterate that fasting while on a cutting cycle works for me tremendously.

1. Insulin sensitivity: Fasting improves insulin sensitivity, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of insulin resistance, a common issue with steroid use.
2. Hormonal regulationm. Fasting has been shown to help regulate hormonal imbalances by increasing the production of certain hormones, such as human growth hormone (HGH), and decreasing others, like insulin and cortisol.
3. Reducing inflammation: Fasting has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help mitigate the inflammatory responses associated with steroid use.
4. Autophagy: Fasting induces autophagy, a natural process where the body breaks down and recycles damaged cells and proteins, potentially helping to remove harmful substances introduced by steroids.

•••
First Meal: Collagen Soup
•••


For first meal Sunday 6pm. Bone broth is nutrient dense soup rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid, which can help support joint health and skin health. It is my goto first meal after a fast.

✔️ Beef Bone Boil Up.
➕️ Potatoes.
➕️ Sweet Potatoes.
➕️ Pumpkin.
➕️ Carrots.
➕️ Cabbage.

Instructions:

1. Simmer animal bones (beef, chicken, or fish) in water for 12-24 hours.
2. Strain and don't discard the solids. They're still good for a snack sandwich.
3. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs etc.
4. Add vegetables 1½ - 3 hours from serving.
5. Enjoy warm or store in the fridge/freezer for later.

Note: Remember to choose high-quality bones from grass-fed animals for maximum nutritional benefits.

Soup first 500ml - 1 Litre. I wait for 1-2 hours and then have the solids.

Conclusion
•••


So, fasting is like a reboot for your body, right? It gives your system a chance to clear out the junk and start fresh. And for bodybuilders, it can be especially helpful for getting ripped and improving overall health. But, you gotta be careful, especially if you're on a cycle. Steroids can already be tough on your body, so adding fasting to the mix can be risky if you don't do it right.

That's why I'm saying, if you're gonna fast, make sure you're doing it under the guidance of a doc or someone who knows what they're doing. And when you break your fast, don't just go for anything, go for something that's gonna nourish your body, like collagen soup or bone broth. They're packed with good stuff that'll help your body recover and rebuild.

And let's be real, fasting isn't for everyone. If you're already stressed, or you're not sleeping enough, or you're dealing with other health issues, fasting might not be the best idea. So, just be smart about it, and prioritize your health, you feel me?
 
Great question.

Erased

✔️ The stigmata of being labelled a cheat.
✔️ My name being as Champion erased.
✔️ The legacy will become nothing less than a memory.

There's a lot of light in the sport of Muay Thai but is there's also more darkness than there is light.
a man of high morals, i disagree though bro it just puts you on a level playing field

A Troubled Past

My journey with fasting is deeply personal and rooted in my experiences. Growing up as an orphan in the 70s, I was no stranger to going without food - it was just a normal part of life. I remember one time, I stabbed a 16-year-old bully who tried to steal my savaloy from my plate of mashed potatoes, cabbage, and tomato sauce. Yep, I was only 6 years old!

FAIL: Calorie Loading
•••


I tried at a few different times of my life. Calorie Loading 7 days into 4 days. All four times wasn't a good idea.

My body was under a lot of stress from the food intake, dealing with the overwhelming threshold. While trying to adjust without food over 72 hours.

I personally wouldn't recommend it but everyone's genetic make-up is varied.

Here is my 'Approved Log' for the Challenge. I only submitted one photo, as it's the easiest body part to erase body tattoos. I don't want to be posting in-depth then all goes to my head. Before you know it, I'm arrested Andrew Tate style because I couldn't keep my mouth shut revealing who I am.

It is going to happen though. When I'm in a country where it's legal to purchase PEDS for personal use and a country where I know every man and woman is on the secret juice in combat sports.

Most likely Thailand or Bali.

You'll clearly see the muffins, there's at least a kg each side to lose?

I'm waiting on Body Composition Scales from Temu. When it arrives I'll do a comparison with an In-body or Evo 360.

(I hate it when Temu keeps rocking up on my #fyp's. Don't you!?).

Cycle Stack:

Last Peptide Cycle: September 01 '23 - April 01 '24.

Daily (R) Shoulder and (R) Knee. Both over 30 years old of surgery. The following cycle was localized to both problematic areas.

HGH: September '23 - April -24.

3iu before bed.

'Wolverine Healing Therapy' adopted by Ben Greenfield.

3 x 400mcg BPC157 5mg + TB500 5mg Blend.
2 x Tesamorelin 500mcg 5 Days On 5 Days Off.
1 x GHK-CU Copper 100mg.

Results: Right knee tendon rehabilitation has been without problems and ble to perform deep squats without pain since treatment as of rewriting this post.

Right shoulder has been great too! Very happy with the treatment. But, I will be starting a cycle for the right shouldewhagain when the challenge starts, with addition of NPP. The reason is I rely on Boxing immensely to setup elbows and leg kicks.

Peptide Longetivity: Once every 1 - 1½ years since 2015.

1 x Thymosin Alpha 10mg ED.
1 x Cerebrolysin 10mg ED.
1 x Eptialon 10mg EOD.

Results: For my mental well-being. I feel good knowing I'm placing stepping stones in front of me to improve the quality of my time here on planet Earth.

Last AAS Cycle: 12 Weeks 2013.

2 x Sustanon 250mg.
2 x Tren A Mirco Dosing 10mg ED.
2 x Mast E 200mg.

Results: Beast Mode.

𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗬𝗖𝗟𝗘 𝟭𝟮 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗦

The following 12 Week Challenge Cycle was made possible by

XGRESEARCH: HGH, Peptides & Sarms.
R & D: Steroid Injectables.

Photo of PEDS to follow.

𝗖𝗬𝗖𝗟𝗘 𝟭𝟮 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗦

AAS: Weeks 1 - 12.

2 x NPP 200mg (R) Shoulder per week.
2 x Sustanon 250mg per week.
2 x Primo 200mg per week.

It'll be my second time running NPP and Primo. But, I was stacking with Masteron. I don't want to run too many compounds this time round.

I will heading into the 4th week revise my health and perhaps add Mast E + Tren A micro-dose at 10mg ED.

I've opted for Sustanon instead of Cypionate. Cypionate I prefer for lean muscle gains. Whereas Sustanon I prefer for a cutting cycle. This is from own personal experience.

NPP helps with calcification build up around the (R) shoulder rotator cuff. NPP is a lot less restricting on my lungs than Decanonate but I feel the benefits for my shoulder around the 8-10 week mark.

Conclusion: First 8 weeks I only want to run the above alone. Especially, to see the response my body has from the NPP & Primo.

For myself personally I want to know if running the 'Wolverine Healing Therapy" & NPP together would make a difference.

Sarms: Weeks 1 - 8 & 12 - 24.

1 x SR9009 10mg ED.
1 x GW-501516 10mg ED.

I've chosen a 60 Days On 30 Days Off protocol for both. I want to see the impact they have on overall fitness and well-being within the first 4 weeks and the possible addition of MK-2866 & MK677 later in the cycle.

Peptides: Weeks 1-12+

3 x 400mcg BPC157 5mg + TB500 5mg Blend.
2 x Tesamorelin 500mg 5 Days On 5 Days Off.
4 x GHK-CU Copper 50mg.

(R) Shoulder fully-loaded as my (R) Knee is near perfect from the last cycle.

XGR HGH Brand: 300iu Weeks 5 - 24.

3iu daily is what I want to also administer starting in October.

Orals: AAS or Sarms ...

Though the results I have from Anavar & Winny in the past have been awesome. I'm leaning towards the Sarms. I'm leaning towards option 2 for athletic performance.

Option 1: AAS Weeks 6 - 12+

Anavar 50mg or Turinabol 40mg Everday.
Anavar 50mg or Winstrol 25mg Everday.

I'll need to cycle Taurine because I suffer from the phenomenon 'Anavar Back Pump'. Anavar for combat sport isn't a good idea ... that's what I think personally because of ...

Option 2: Sarms Week 5 - 12+

... Sarms being the better choice due to coming of age! The synergistic impact of SR9009 & GW501516 and the addition of these two Sarms. I foresee remarkable things to happen in way of 'Conditioning for Cardiovascular Fitness'.

2 x MK677 20mg Everday.
2 x Mk2866 20mg Eveyday.

Nasal Spray Peptides

I've been administering The Power of Three, Semax, Selank and Oxytocin since end of July. I came off of Dexamphetamine in February '24. Long-term use was causing bouts of anxiety. I do have severe ADHD, however I don't want to be on the medication as it was interfering my cardiovascular fitness.

Semax, Selank and Oxytocin are a non-addictive alternative to ADHD treatment. I achieve a sense of calm, focus and community control. Meaning, I don't mind being around people when I have taken Oxytocin.

Dosage: 2-3 pumps per session.

If I want a bit of energy and focus at a snap I use Semax 260mcg. Otherwise Selank 2260mcg if I feel anxious to calm down the nerves.

Oxytocin 260mcg if I don't want to be around people but have to because of work.

AI & PCT:

2 x HCG 250iu per week.
(on-hand if needed).

Letrozole - 0.5mg ED
(on-hand if required cycle usually for 14 days).

Nolvadex & Clomid. I won't be administering. As I'll continue on with an anti-aging & longevity 'Peptide Wellness Therapy', cycle and the continuation of sarms.

It's the switch from AAS to Sarms is what I'll be venturing into as I want to remain a beast until the day I die but without the burning inflammation of joints.

With that being said I'll still run an AAS Cycle on a yearly basis as I have penchant for Cyp + Primo + Tren A micro-dosing = 🔥

Supplements + Medication Used:

Breakfast
: Medication + Shake + Multivitamin.

Medication:

1 x Rosuvastatin 10mg ED
1 x Ibresartan 150mg ED

Shake: Collagen-Psyllium-Probiotic.

Ingredients

1 x Tbls psyllium husk.
1 x Tbls probiotic powder (or 1-2 probiotic capsules).
1 x tsp collagen.
1 x tsp digestive enzyme powder.
1 x Tbls NAD+.
1 x tsp NAC.
1 x tsp Glycine.

I've been taking the MultiVitamin for about 18 months. I have to say this a one good addition to my supplementation.

The MultiVitamin has 2000iu if Vitamin D per dosage of 3 capsules. Which is pretty good for athlete.

FYI - The capsules are like the size for horses! I don't take things down my throat too well.

Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) 50mg.

Crazy to think. I left out what I learned from The Book of Jeet Kune Do. In the Goal for Competition section.

Diet Overview:

Aiming for muscle recomposition to relevant areas for combat while reducing body fat.

Mediterranean Blood Type A+ Diet Plan by Vox: 2750-3500cal 3-4 x Meals Daily Mon-Thurs.

or

Bone Broth & Organic Vegetables: 2750-3500cal 3-4 x Meals Daily Mon-Thurs.

No intermittent fasting, during the eating phase. I eat around the clock with the majority of carbs, proteins, fats and all sugars in the first meal. Calorie intake is dependent on how I feel. If I don't feel eating a meal. I simply don't. I don't like forcing myself to eat.

I don't look at food as luxury I look at food as a resource of pure energy. Meal 4, is for when I train 3 times which is generally on lifting days.

I'm a Barbara O'Neil follower since 2014. She was my goto and her principles have been integrated into my own dietary planning during the time I was battling cancer. As a nutritionist and cancer survivor. I do plan to meet her one day.

Meal 1: King.
Meal 2: Noble.
Meal 3: Peasant.
Meal 4: Grazing.

Before Bed: Okazu - A Japanese side dish is known as “okazu” in Japanese, and they are an essential part of a traditional Japanese meal. These side dishes can range from simple pickles to more complex dishes like simmered vegetables or deep-fried tofu.

I like to consume an “okazu” to help with burning fat while. Of course there are resources that suggest otherwise. It's a ritual I took on while training and fighting in Japan.

Individual variability is in effect here and the ritual isn't a magic bullet. It's what I do during a cutting cycle or cutting weight for a fight.

𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Thursday - Sunday evenings.

I believe in the power of fasting. I want to hit 75.5 - 76.5kg as I'll be 3kgs shy of fight weight. I'll use the fasting to see how much weight I can lose without the loss of energy after a 72 hour water or dry fast.

I'll be posting often about my experiences with fasting over the past decades.

Training Schedule:

My workouts are resistence HIIT more than enough to keep myself occupied for the 4 weeks. I like training with kettlebells at home, at a park, beach, anywhere.

Equipment:

Rope: I need the footwork, speed importantly calf & ankle endurance. Cardio training too as it'll be better for the needs. I love jump rope, since I was kid. Rocky! ...

Callisthenics: Raw Organic Strength ... nuff said.

Kettlebell: I've been working with kettlebells since my late teens, introduced to me by bio-mechanics Victoria University of Wellington Dr. Igor Borisov. They're my goto for lifting.

Week 1 of 4: Kettlebell workout plan with cardio skip rope, callisthenics, and kettlebell exercises:

MyZone

For combat training, it's common to focus on the higher intensity zones, particularly the Yellow and Red zones, to simulate the demands of a fight.

Grey Zone

(50-60% MHR): 80.56 - 96.67 bpm (warm-up, recovery).

Blue Zone

(60-70% MHR): 96.67 - 112.78 bpm (technique work, drilling).

Green Zone

(70-80% MHR): 112.78 - 128.90 bpm (sparring, clinch work, grappling).

Yellow Zone

(80-90% MHR): 128.90 - 144.99 bpm (high-intensity interval training, conditioning).

Red Zone

(90-100% MHR): 144.99 - 161.12 bpm (maximum effort, sprint intervals, fight simulation).

Keep in mind that these zones are my personal estimates and may vary depending on individual factors, such as fitness level and training experience.

Monday (Yellow/Green).

Warm-up: 10-minute dynamic stretching.

Cardio: Alt. 3-minute rope/shadow work rounds x 4 rounds.

Callisthenics: 1-minute between rounds:
- 20 Hindu squats.
- 20 Push-ups.
- 20 Abs.

Kettlebell Workout: 2 x 12kg Time: 20 - 30mins.
- Kettlebell Rack Squat: 6 x 10-15 reps.

- Activities that I enjoy that does bring the heart rate to Blue Zone.

Conclusion

I won't be joining a Muay Thai gym not for the first 2-4 weeks. I don't like the culture all too much and the politics that comes with it. Because I've been strength & conditioning all my life. I want to enjoy the first 4 weeks of the challenge.

Goal for the Competition:

Body-Fat Cut Reduction > Body Composition.

Challenge Phases:

Phase 1: Weeks 1 - 4 - Strength & Conditioning.
Phase 2: Weeks 5 - 12 - Power Development.
Phase 3: Weeks 11 - 12 - Sparring.

Journey Phases

Phase 1: 12 Weeks - Strength & Conditioning.
Phase 2: 12 Weeks - Advanced Technique & Conditioning.
Phase 3: Week 25 - Fight Night.

Bruce Lee:

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" by Bruce Lee

I strive for perfection and I know. Sidekicks both sides, roundhouse kicks, calf kicks and shootboxing kicks need refining.

The importance of mastering a skill through repetition and dedication rather than just trying a variety of things once.

I'll be logging specific reptition kicks that fuse well with Boxing over the coming weeks and towards "Fight Night".

Recent Goal Achieved: Lost 27.7kgs

• 109kg April 29th - Aug 31st. 2024.
• 2250 Calories. Strict balanced diet, ate what I felt like.
• Easy to moderate exercise 3 times a week.

After the 'Wolverine Healing' program. I went into a deep organic natural diet and exercise routine.

I stopped ADHD medication due to severe side-effects. Strict balanced diet and 90% decrease on sugars. Allowing a midday protein shake with blueberries, pineapple fruit pieces. Plus, apple juice for added carbs.

Fitness Tests: Strength Level Goal

1. Kettlebell Overhead Press: Test Weeks 1 -5 - 13.
2. Push Up: Test Weeks 1 - 5 - 13.
3. Pull Ups: Test Weeks 1 - 5 - 13.
4. Run 5km: Test Weeks 1 - 5 - 13.
5. Confidence to prepare for Phase 2 of the next 12 weeks.
6. Improved flexibility is a huge one.

Nothing egotism. An honest and achievable goals besides I hate running but it's a sound indicator as to how aerobically fit I am. The sparring will be the gauge for actual real ring fight fitness.

Health Status

1. Aug 28, 2024. Injured (R) Shoulder rotator cuff during mobility work.
2. Pulled lumbar muscle (R) side, hard to bend from Jefferson Curl.
3. Genetic History of High Blood Pressure.
4. Ibresartan 150mg Calcium (prescription).
5. Rosuvastatin 10mg Cholesterol (prescription).

Regarding, 4 & 5 from what I know. Steroids may interfere with the medication but I'll see how I go after 2 weeks.

Conclusion

I'll like winning. We all do. Dont we? I have a very silent decisive competitive trait. I've taken the necessary steps to prepare for the challenge to prepare thoroughly for my return bout. Week 25, itime a plenty to prepare between tomorrow September 2nd, 2024 and March 23rd - 30th, 2025. I firmly this is the perfect time for fight night. If however, after the challenge and I'm on top of the moon. I'll look at week 16. Promise!

Oh yeah ... During the challenge I will be travelling to Bali and Thailand to train for a few weeks.

I will fight again. I had dreams of making it to K-1 Max, I fell short. But, look where I am right now! Twenty year's later. I woke up and dreamed to be Australian Muay Thai Light Middleweight Champion 70kg-72.5kg by end of 2025.

I want to win because my former Japan manager will be watching.

I want to fight so very bad. I want the fire in my heart to stop! I can't stop dreaming about being champion. I don't want to come across as if I'm JBJ 'Dana's son'. I'm not. Quiet honestly, I'm a lovely guy to be around. Fully-loaded with politeness, gentlemen like mannerisms and old skool wicked sense of humour. Which is a perplexed nature of what I'm capable of in the square circle.

I hope what I've written is received well. I wish everyone of the challenge the very best.

Here is my 'Approved Log' for the Challenge. I only submitted one photo, as it's the easiest body part to erase body tattoos. I don't want to be posting in-depth then all goes to my head. Before you know it, I'm arrested Andrew Tate style because I couldn't keep my mouth shut revealing who I am.

It is going to happen though. When I'm in a country where it's legal to purchase PEDS for personal use and a country where I know every man and woman is on the secret juice in combat sports.

Most likely Thailand or Bali.

You'll clearly see the muffins, there's at least a kg each side to lose?

I'm waiting on Body Composition Scales from Temu. When it arrives I'll do a comparison with an In-body or Evo 360.

(I hate it when Temu keeps rocking up on my #fyp's. Don't you!?).

Cycle Stack:

Last Peptide Cycle: September 01 '23 - April 01 '24.

Daily (R) Shoulder and (R) Knee. Both over 30 years old of surgery. The following cycle was localized to both problematic areas.

HGH: September '23 - April -24.

3iu before bed.

'Wolverine Healing Therapy' adopted by Ben Greenfield.

3 x 400mcg BPC157 5mg + TB500 5mg Blend.
2 x Tesamorelin 500mcg 5 Days On 5 Days Off.
1 x GHK-CU Copper 100mg.

Results: Right knee tendon rehabilitation has been without problems and ble to perform deep squats without pain since treatment as of rewriting this post.

Right shoulder has been great too! Very happy with the treatment. But, I will be starting a cycle for the right shouldewhagain when the challenge starts, with addition of NPP. The reason is I rely on Boxing immensely to setup elbows and leg kicks.

Peptide Longetivity: Once every 1 - 1½ years since 2015.

1 x Thymosin Alpha 10mg ED.
1 x Cerebrolysin 10mg ED.
1 x Eptialon 10mg EOD.

Results: For my mental well-being. I feel good knowing I'm placing stepping stones in front of me to improve the quality of my time here on planet Earth.

Last AAS Cycle: 12 Weeks 2013.

2 x Sustanon 250mg.
2 x Tren A Mirco Dosing 10mg ED.
2 x Mast E 200mg.

Results: Beast Mode.

𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗬𝗖𝗟𝗘 𝟭𝟮 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗦

The following 12 Week Challenge Cycle was made possible by

XGRESEARCH: HGH, Peptides & Sarms.
R & D: Steroid Injectables.

Photo of PEDS to follow.

𝗖𝗬𝗖𝗟𝗘 𝟭𝟮 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗦

AAS: Weeks 1 - 12.

2 x NPP 200mg (R) Shoulder per week.
2 x Sustanon 250mg per week.
2 x Primo 200mg per week.

It'll be my second time running NPP and Primo. But, I was stacking with Masteron. I don't want to run too many compounds this time round.

I will heading into the 4th week revise my health and perhaps add Mast E + Tren A micro-dose at 10mg ED.

I've opted for Sustanon instead of Cypionate. Cypionate I prefer for lean muscle gains. Whereas Sustanon I prefer for a cutting cycle. This is from own personal experience.

NPP helps with calcification build up around the (R) shoulder rotator cuff. NPP is a lot less restricting on my lungs than Decanonate but I feel the benefits for my shoulder around the 8-10 week mark.

Conclusion: First 8 weeks I only want to run the above alone. Especially, to see the response my body has from the NPP & Primo.

For myself personally I want to know if running the 'Wolverine Healing Therapy" & NPP together would make a difference.

Sarms: Weeks 1 - 8 & 12 - 24.

1 x SR9009 10mg ED.
1 x GW-501516 10mg ED.

I've chosen a 60 Days On 30 Days Off protocol for both. I want to see the impact they have on overall fitness and well-being within the first 4 weeks and the possible addition of MK-2866 & MK677 later in the cycle.

Peptides: Weeks 1-12+

3 x 400mcg BPC157 5mg + TB500 5mg Blend.
2 x Tesamorelin 500mg 5 Days On 5 Days Off.
4 x GHK-CU Copper 50mg.

(R) Shoulder fully-loaded as my (R) Knee is near perfect from the last cycle.

XGR HGH Brand: 300iu Weeks 5 - 24.

3iu daily is what I want to also administer starting in October.

Orals: AAS or Sarms ...

Though the results I have from Anavar & Winny in the past have been awesome. I'm leaning towards the Sarms. I'm leaning towards option 2 for athletic performance.

Option 1: AAS Weeks 6 - 12+

Anavar 50mg or Turinabol 40mg Everday.
Anavar 50mg or Winstrol 25mg Everday.

I'll need to cycle Taurine because I suffer from the phenomenon 'Anavar Back Pump'. Anavar for combat sport isn't a good idea ... that's what I think personally because of ...

Option 2: Sarms Week 5 - 12+

... Sarms being the better choice due to coming of age! The synergistic impact of SR9009 & GW501516 and the addition of these two Sarms. I foresee remarkable things to happen in way of 'Conditioning for Cardiovascular Fitness'.

2 x MK677 20mg Everday.
2 x Mk2866 20mg Eveyday.

Nasal Spray Peptides

I've been administering The Power of Three, Semax, Selank and Oxytocin since end of July. I came off of Dexamphetamine in February '24. Long-term use was causing bouts of anxiety. I do have severe ADHD, however I don't want to be on the medication as it was interfering my cardiovascular fitness.

Semax, Selank and Oxytocin are a non-addictive alternative to ADHD treatment. I achieve a sense of calm, focus and community control. Meaning, I don't mind being around people when I have taken Oxytocin.

Dosage: 2-3 pumps per session.

If I want a bit of energy and focus at a snap I use Semax 260mcg. Otherwise Selank 2260mcg if I feel anxious to calm down the nerves.

Oxytocin 260mcg if I don't want to be around people but have to because of work.

AI & PCT:

2 x HCG 250iu per week.
(on-hand if needed).

Letrozole - 0.5mg ED
(on-hand if required cycle usually for 14 days).

Nolvadex & Clomid. I won't be administering. As I'll continue on with an anti-aging & longevity 'Peptide Wellness Therapy', cycle and the continuation of sarms.

It's the switch from AAS to Sarms is what I'll be venturing into as I want to remain a beast until the day I die but without the burning inflammation of joints.

With that being said I'll still run an AAS Cycle on a yearly basis as I have penchant for Cyp + Primo + Tren A micro-dosing = 🔥

Supplements + Medication Used:

Breakfast
: Medication + Shake + Multivitamin.

Medication:

1 x Rosuvastatin 10mg ED
1 x Ibresartan 150mg ED

Crazy to think. I left out what I learned from The Book of Jeet Kune Do. In the Goal for Competition section.

Diet Overview:

Aiming for muscle recomposition to relevant areas for combat while reducing body fat.

Mediterranean Blood Type A+ Diet Plan by Vox: 2750-3500cal 3-4 x Meals Daily Mon-Thurs.

or

Bone Broth & Organic Vegetables: 2750-3500cal 3-4 x Meals Daily Mon-Thurs.

No intermittent fasting, during the eating phase. I eat around the clock with the majority of carbs, proteins, fats and all sugars in the first meal. Calorie intake is dependent on how I feel. If I don't feel eating a meal. I simply don't. I don't like forcing myself to eat.

I don't look at food as luxury I look at food as a resource of pure energy. Meal 4, is for when I train 3 times which is generally on lifting days.

I'm a Barbara O'Neil follower since 2014. She was my goto and her principles have been integrated into my own dietary planning during the time I was battling cancer. As a nutritionist and cancer survivor. I do plan to meet her one day.

Meal 1: King.
Meal 2: Noble.
Meal 3: Peasant.
Meal 4: Grazing.

Before Bed: Okazu - A Japanese side dish is known as “okazu” in Japanese, and they are an essential part of a traditional Japanese meal. These side dishes can range from simple pickles to more complex dishes like simmered vegetables or deep-fried tofu.

I like to consume an “okazu” to help with burning fat while. Of course there are resources that suggest otherwise. It's a ritual I took on while training and fighting in Japan.

Individual variability is in effect here and the ritual isn't a magic bullet. It's what I do during a cutting cycle or cutting weight for a fight.

𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Thursday - Sunday evenings.

I believe in the power of fasting. I want to hit 75.5 - 76.5kg as I'll be 3kgs shy of fight weight. I'll use the fasting to see how much weight I can lose without the loss of energy after a 72 hour water or dry fast.

I'll be posting often about my experiences with fasting over the past decades.

Training Schedule:

My workouts are resistence HIIT more than enough to keep myself occupied for the 4 weeks. I like training with kettlebells at home, at a park, beach, anywhere.

Equipment:

Rope: I need the footwork, speed importantly calf & ankle endurance. Cardio training too as it'll be better for the needs. I love jump rope, since I was kid. Rocky! ...

Callisthenics: Raw Organic Strength ... nuff said.

Kettlebell: I've been working with kettlebells since my late teens, introduced to me by bio-mechanics Victoria University of Wellington Dr. Igor Borisov. They're my goto for lifting.

Week 1 of 4: Kettlebell workout plan with cardio skip rope, callisthenics, and kettlebell exercises:

MyZone

For combat training, it's common to focus on the higher intensity zones, particularly the Yellow and Red zones, to simulate the demands of a fight.

Grey Zone

(50-60% MHR): 80.56 - 96.67 bpm (warm-up, recovery).

Blue Zone

(60-70% MHR): 96.67 - 112.78 bpm (technique work, drilling).

Green Zone

(70-80% MHR): 112.78 - 128.90 bpm (sparring, clinch work, grappling).

Yellow Zone

(80-90% MHR): 128.90 - 144.99 bpm (high-intensity interval training, conditioning).

Red Zone

(90-100% MHR): 144.99 - 161.12 bpm (maximum effort, sprint intervals, fight simulation).

Keep in mind that these zones are my personal estimates and may vary depending on individual factors, such as fitness level and training experience.

@VOX OCD is difficult, you should try stims OTC of course like higher caffeine see if it helps.

did you make the bone broth yourself?

Day 3

Third day! When I have early morning clients. This is what the start of my early morning days look like.

1. 415am Wake Up.
2. 415am ¹50x50x50.
3. 420am Water 500ml.
4. 430am Devotional.
5. 445am ²Be Still (Meditation).
6. 5am ³Full-Body Dynamic Stretching.
7. 515am ⁴Kazan Japanese Method.
7. 516am Shower.
8. 6am Meal 1.

¹ Morning Ritual

I perform everyday for the majority of my life (-9 months bed ridden due to organic natural. CBD/THC Oil & Herbal Medicine/Food treatment). Literally roll out of bed. Time: 5mins (all set out via Samsung Watch).

50 Push-ups 50 Abs 50 Hindus

I leave the Hindu's last as my cardio is shocking. You know, there have been many times throughout my fighting career and most likely in the near future. No matter how hard I train and strategically planned out. I'm seem at times I'm getting unfitter?

Did you ever get that? What about missing one day just one day of a 3km-5km like a Sunday ... 'Rest Day'. Which looking back 'Rest Day' , who the heck got that trending back from the 70's 80's 90's 00's? Men, women, child and the pet cat should be exercising every freaking day!


² Be Still (Meditation)

Important Note: This is a personal faith journey. May it serve as a humble guide to assist you in your own unique spiritual path. Before the start of your day.

A response to an online 60 year old client. Returning to Seniors Boxing, IDAHO, USA.

"A Christian returning to prize fighting, I've found that 'Be Still' (Meditation) is crucial for my spiritual and mental well-being. In the midst of intense training and competition, meditation helps me connect with God's peace and guidance.

For me, meditation isn't just a morning routine, but also an evening reflection. Even on tough days, I'm grateful for the opportunity to surrender my thoughts and emotions to God. Through devotional and meditation, I focus on applying biblical verses to my life, prioritizing how I can serve others first and then myself.

My experiences as an orphan and in juvenile detention have taught me the value of solitude, but also the importance of finding inner strength. The early morning chores on the detention farm, like chopping wood for 5 hours everyday, may have been intended as punishment, but they helped shape my physical and mental resilience. I'm grateful for those hours, weeks of chopping trees at 14-17 years of age, as they developed my serratus anterior muscles and to the magnitude of Bruce Lee.

Now, as I return to prize fighting, I know that meditation will be a vital part of my journey. It's where I find the fire that burns within my soul, a desire to honor God and to inspire and motivate others through my perseverance and dedication for Him. In stillness, I find the strength to face challenges and to trust deeply in God's plan."

Embarrassed to say but at times. I end up in a puddle of tears drowning in the palms of my hands.

Happened the other day. True story!


³ Full-Body Dynamic Stretching

I'll be posting the above that I've developed and performed as a routine for the past four decades with research material of and BETA / VHS:

• The Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee.
• Practical Kick-Boxing: Strategy in Training & Technique by Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez.
• Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurz.
• Dynamic Kicking by Bill 'Superfoot' Wallace.

• 8-845am TV - Oz Aerobics every morning.
• 9-930am TV - Yoga with Victoria Princple.

At the detention centre we were watching than exercising. We weren't allowed, however we would keep 3mins watch ... 'F%$K! SH!T WARDEN!!!' That was our signal of 4mins viewing time left for the Warden to reach us!

Plus links to YouTube videos. Listen, the reason why I got over Monday pretty quick. Is because 'FDS' routine is a workout in itself. Yes, it's boring for people of course it is.

But, that boring has gotten me to where I am. In 2015–2019, individuals diagnosed with liver cancer had a 23% chance (23% for males and 22% females). Once I was able to move from crawling to old man walking. Which was December 15th, 2016, I started with 2 x 2 x 2 of Reps for each exercise of th3 'FDS', and 2 x 2 x 2 Pushups, Abs & Hindus, everyday for the first 6 weeks ... hahaha, I don't know if I should be laughing about it. But, struggling to make a 'Toy Solider' was rather funny looking back when I saw myself in the mirror. Kate my carer was worried as I just couldn't help but laugh at the wrecked man in the mirror trying to touch his toes. A juxtaposition of what was, once a man. Not Alpha, I never likened the idea of it. Watching leaders driven by their egotistical need to be of the centre of people's universe. When they are to compliment others. That is the personification of a true leader. A man who will sacrifice Himself for the people.

I more fashion myself to be that of a Sigma Male. I don't care about my ego being stroked. I care about how I can help my fellow man.

The sheer fact as to reason why I laughed was because, individuals diagnosed with liver cancer had a 23% for males and 22% for females. That's good news. The doctor at the time of appointment said I had a 7-11% chance of surviving and extension of life is 4-6 year's. That was the heart of what he told me as I asked for the truth.

I'm into my 8th year from 2016.

Something is happening with me! I know what is! ... I'm being called!

Supplements:

Honestly, I don't take no supplements if I'm not training in the Red Zone. I feel like I'm already covering my bases with my current diet routine. The 'SS' and collagen-rich bone broth meal provide a solid foundation for my nutrition. This approach allows my body time to adapt to the AAS cycle and respond to the biochemical changes from the steroid cycle. I'm not sure additional supplementation would make a significant difference at this point?

As you know I'm not a dietitian but a PED bio-hacking nutritionist. It's from personal study and research of journals, books and of course YouTube and Rumble.

Willing to make the sacrifice for the good of mankind.

✔️ Medication.

Conclusion:

I called Kate this morning - Thailand. After, not making contact for a year. We laughed. She cried, happy I look strong and so alive.

Day 4

Fourth day! This is what the start of my early morning days look like and no early morning clients.

1. 7am Wake Up.
2. 715am 50x50x50.
3. 730am Water 500ml.
4. 730am ¹Paradoxical Breathing Method.

7. 9am Full-Body Dynamic Stretching.
8. 930am Kazan Japanese Method.
8. 1pm Meal 2.

¹USSR Paradoxical Breathing Method

The technique I'm describing is called "Paradoxical Diaphragmatic Breathing" or "Self-Hug Breathing". Taught to me by again Prof. of Bio-mechanics Dr. Igor Borisov. The time I spent with learning how to overcome severe asthma.

It's a method that combines deep breathing with a physical gesture of hugging oneself, which can help:


1. Activate the diaphragm: Encourages belly breathing, rather than shallow chest breathing.
2. Relax the body: Releases physical tension, promotes relaxation, and reduces stress.
3. Improve breathing patterns: Strengthens diaphragmatic breathing, increasing oxygenation and calmness.

Practice:

1. Stand or sit comfortably with your arms at your sides.
2. Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your belly to rise as your diaphragm descends.
3. As you inhale, wrap your arms around yourself, giving yourself a gentle hug.
4. Exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing your hug, and allowing your belly to fall as your diaphragm rises.
5. Repeat this process several times, focusing on your breath and the sensation of the hug.

This technique can be beneficial for:

- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Improving sleep quality
- Enhancing overall breathing and respiratory function
- Increasing self-awareness and self-compassion

Remember, it's essential to breathe naturally and comfortably, without forcing your breathing or hug. If you have any underlying medical conditions, consult with a healthcare professional before starting new breathing practices. In saying that, slow is better than going fast in this case.

The past decades I've assisted clients to be free of restricted breathing due to genetic health issues, obesity, and also for athletic performance.

Athletic performance you say?

Yes, athletic performance. How and Why?

When your warming up for an event or before a training session. Your extremities, and muscles are warmed achieving a nice beaded sweat. Yes!? Good. But, what about eternally?

Here are a few things to take into account:


➖️ Are your organs warmed up?
➖️ Are your meridians ignited?
➖️ Are your lungs warmed ready for the Blue, Green, Yellow and Red Zones?

The importance of preparing the body for athletic performance by considering the warming up of internal systems, not just external muscles. My points are valid and worth exploring from personal experience and real time combat preparation:

✔️ Organ warm-up: Yes, it's essential to warm up internal organs, especially the lungs, heart, and liver, to prepare them for increased blood flow and oxygen demand during exercise.

✔️ Meridian activation: In traditional Chinese medicine, meridians refer to energy pathways. While the concept of meridians is not universally accepted, warming up the body can stimulate blood flow and energy circulation, which may be related to the idea of "igniting" meridians.

✔️ Lung preparation: Warming up the lungs is crucial for optimal gas exchange and oxygenation during intense exercise. This can be achieved through specific breathing exercises, like the one you mentioned earlier (paradoxical diaphragmatic breathing).

✔️ Zone preparation: The color zones I mentioned (Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red). Warming up the body and internal systems can help prepare bodybuilders, athletes and prize fighters to transition smoothly between these zones.

✔️ Fight Night: If you're a combat athlete or any athlete for the matter. If you're internals are not warmed up not just properly but thoroughly. You will suffer. I can guarantee it. If you take and apply it to your routine. My goodness you will see physical improvement in action by the increasd oxygen and cerebral oxygenation supply. Your lifts will improve. Your VO2 Max times will improve. Your mental health will improve from the much needed oxygen your brain needs when heading into a Red Zone session.

My approach to longevity & anti-aging is an holistic remedy to strength & conditioning and health & fitness. Of course everything is open for discussion.

Though when I've mastered the keys to the foundations of youth. I'll continue to combine elements of Eastern and Western philosophies, focusing on holistic preparation for athletic performancea and everyday life.

While some concepts might be more theoretical or based on traditional practices, the importance of comprehensive warm-up routines is widely recognized in sports science. That's what I've read, told and down the rabbit hole of YouTube.

Cycle:

1 x R & D Sustanon 250mg (L) Glute.
1 x R & D Primo E 200mg (L) Glute.

Chambered both 2mls pinned easy. If I was on Anavar I would experience cramp around the serratus anterior muscles and hip area when pinning myself. A good fix for it is the supplementation of Taurine. I prefer Glute to Glute pins, as I tend to recover quiet nicely between the Monday & Thursday pins. I do possess 'Buns of Vibranium' as if sculptured by Michael Angelo himself.

Nah ... years of Track 'n Field. Rugby, Football etc.

Macronutrient Breakdown

- Fat: 45-50%
- Carbohydrates: 25-30%

The added cheese increases the calorie and fat content, but also provides more protein. Besides I love cheese, always have always willl. This meal remains a balanced and satisfying option, with a good mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. making it a nutritious and satisfying option.

A massive alternative option for bodybuilders, athlete's, man, woman or child. Most definitely 'OTG!' on the go food.

I hope you'll try this as option as I have over the past decades. I'd have 2 x SBD for breakfast and I'm set for 8hrs of the day. Of course, I'll refuel kindly after an intense session but it's a good baseline for your body to well nourished a fasting for 8-10 hours.

Conclusion:

Dr. Igor Borisov has played a vital role in my life. Late 90's he was already 72 years of age. His youth, vitality, mobility, flexibility and callisthenics raw strength was awe inspiring.

He was a former assistant swimming coach for the USSR Team during the 70's this 'Cold War' the stories he shared as a Cosmonaut Technician. He was a bio-mechanics technician for the cosmonauts project. As his team aided in the muscular physical health the cosmonauts in preparation and after completion of mission.

His work can be found in the Archives of Health, National Museum of New Zealand, Wellington.

Over the 3 years Dr. Igor Borisov introduced me to:

1. Grizzly 2 Stretch Machine.
2. Paradoxical Diaphragmatic Breathing.
3. Shake Out.

I hope to one day fly and read all of his part work as he was a dedicated writer for New Zealand Fitness Magazine for over a decade. His last piece of work I believe was 2007.

I'll have a recipe and ingredients of 'SBD' bread and a tip for on the go!

I do hope, Day 4 has been an informative read. That you can apply to your regimen, clients, family and friends.

I've always been equisitive when it was anything outside of what I read from H & F magazines and books. Happened for me in 1988 where I saw first the fastest man run 9.79secs on TV.

Ben Johnson and the scandal that came with it.

When I learned what substance(s) he was banned for. I literally thought Stanazol makes you super human? Like Captain America crazy super serum superhuman.

I was 15 years old at the time and was well into Track 'n Field. The amount of time I spent at the blocks, learning how to start explosive power I can generate from still point took some dedication.

Ben 'Blocks' Johnson. I read an article from Musle Development Magazine(?) about comprehensive sprint program combining power, endurance, calisthenics, warm-up routines, and speed.

For a good amount of years I immersed myself into bodybuilding magazines. I was way into Frank Zane and Bob Paris. Hours upon hours I spent reading material, coming away with baskets full of knowledge.

Adding to the principles and fine tuning Bruce Lee's program.

The best parts was the methods they used to cut the fat from the waist to show off a 'V-Taper' waistline, JVCD styles.

Who were your the bodybuilders you looked to?

Day 6

The following is my story of self-discovery, continued athletic progression, and the power of brotherhood during a tumultuous adolescence in a Catholic Māori Boys College.

I do hope you'll enjoy the read.

•••

From Day 4, writing of Ben Johnson brought back a memorable event that took place 36 years ago.

I remember being 15 years old and utterly mesmerized by Ben Johnson's chiseled physique, and dominant sprinting performances leading up, during and year's after Seoul Olympics Games 1988. His training regime seemed superhuman (insert wink here) and I was determined to emulate his speed, power, and agility. I wanted to be the fastest kid on the planet, just like my TV hero. Who could compete with The Bionic Man, anyway?

I couldn't find any information about Ben Johnson's diet at the time. However, I have carefully revisited a sample diet plan based on scientific evidence for optimal nutrition after an intense sprint session (see FCD nutrition facts).

Ben Johnson's world-record breaking times and intimidating presence on the track left me in awe. Which leads me to ...

The core of my track 'n field experience was 3½ years of solid work, attending Hato Paora College, a Māori Catholic boys' school. Our track and field coach, Father Ken Mears, a red head Irishman, taught us the training secrets to unlock explosive block speed.

The team would spend hot summer days and cold winter months before and after classes training. Watching VHS Ben Johnson footage we recorded from TV. Then applying on the field. We would spend hours upon hours researching sprinting training methods, studying explosive starting techniques, deep diving into books, journals, magazines. We was inspired, motivated, and dedicated to becoming great sprinters better athletes. I was fascinated by the concept of block speed and dedicated myself to mastering it.

Revisiting the pages of Bruce Lee's remarkable work has been a treasure trove of knowledge. With so many valuable takeaways, I'll save some of the gems for a future journal entry.

Receptive Muscle Activation

The concept of "Receptive Muscle Activation" from one his journals. He described it as a state of relaxed awareness, where the muscles are activated in response to an opponent's movement, rather than through conscious tension.

Lee emphasized the importance of developing a receptive and adaptive response, allowing the body to react naturally and efficiently to changing situations. He believed that this approach would lead to greater speed, power, and effectiveness in combat.

Some key points I've noted from Lee's writing on receptive muscle activation include:

1. Relaxation: Lee stressed the need to relax and release physical tension, allowing the muscles to respond freely.
2. Awareness: He emphasized the importance of being fully aware of one's surroundings and the opponent's movements.
3. Receptivity: Lee encouraged practitioners to cultivate a receptive state, allowing the body to respond naturally to stimuli.
4. Non-interference: He advised against interfering with the body's natural responses, instead allowing the muscles to activate and move freely.

The One Inch Punch

The RMA stimuli that Bruce Lee had harnessed allowed him to deliver a devastating punch from a short distance, showcasing the power of receptive muscle activation in martial arts.

I dreamed on it the RMA Method, and it wasn't until during 'Religious Studies' that I was enlightened to see that prayer and meditation will make me faster than Astronaut - Steve Austin. Better. Faster. Stronger.

Father Ken

Father Ken would guide me through a transformative ritual at the blocks. Myself unlocking the secrets of receptive muscle activation:

1. Invoke Divine Power: Give glory to God, and tap into the infinite energy of the universe.

2. Silence the Mind: Close my eyes, and quiet the distractions of the world.

3. Unleash Relaxation: Relax, and let go of all tension and resistance.

4. Breathe Life: Focus on my breath, and channel the vital force of existence.

5. Stillness of the Soul: Quiet my mind, and access the deepest wisdom within.

6. Visionary Focus: Visualize my goals, and manifest my desires into reality.

7. Inner Strength: Connect with my inner strength, and tap into the unshakeable core of my being.

8. Muscle Awakening: Activate my receptive muscles, and unlock the hidden potential within.

9. Energy Surge: Channel my energy, and unleash a torrent of power and speed.

10. Precision Strike: Perform with precision and speed, and achieve victory with ease and grace.

There's was always something surrounding 'The Ten Commandments' with the Priests and Nuns when it came to organising mind mapped program rituals. So much brain work even on ritalin. I'd get nose bleeds trying cement each point into a L.A. road traffic packed peanut brain.

Off Tangent - As a Christian being schooled in a 'Catholic College Death Camp!'. The bloodied fights I got myself into like this one time. I wouldn't write a prayer to Mary was a big one! Remember being passed a note to visit the 'Prefects Chambers' which means I was 'Gonna get the bash'. Saved for another journal entry.

Like, far out man! It was hard enough to focus counting to ten. After point three I was pretty much at the blocks ... head down ... 10 minutes later ...

Father Ken: 'Tekau miniti','He aha kei reira?','Ten minutes!'. 'What's happening there!?'

I know right? Father Ken an Irishman who learned my native tongue fluently. He was an amazing man!

VOX: Getting up from the blocks yelling back 'He aha te nama wha matua Ken','What's number 4 Father Ken!?'.

Father Ken: 'He aha?' perplexed 'What?'.

Father Ken asked, 'He aha?' (What's up?) with a perplexed tone. To non-Māori speakers, responding with 'What?' might seem blunt, but in the Māori language, we use pitch and intonation to convey a meaning and emotion. The word 'He aha?' can convey empathy, concern, or curiosity, depending on the pitch and inflection.

Some say Māori is tone, unlike tonal languages, the pitch and tone in Māori don't change the fundamental meaning of a word. Instead, they add nuance and context to the communication.

And what's remarkable about Māori language is its purity - there are no words for profanity or crudeness. It's a language that embodies respect, kindness, and connection.

I hope this captures the essence of the conversation and the beauty of the Māori language!


VOX: 'Nama Wha!!' , 'Numbe 4!!'.

Father Ken, I could see his face turning read at the 50 mark. I knew he was pissed ey as I was laughing. The boys made me laugh though.

Father Ken: 'Oh for the love of blessed Mary and Joseph. Go VOX put a heel on it ladơ!'.

This was him, screaming in his deep Irish accent. Father Ken, bowed legs, honestly, he looked like a leprechaun furiously jump 'n down! 'Who take a me a pot 'o gold'. Is what we would mimick behind his back.

When it was my turn at the blocks. Team Captain Eddie made a bet with the boys. For their puddings on the fatal Friday night to be. That, I'd make Father Ken lose his shit without even trying. The celebrations. Eddie got three puddings and I got one. Fair!

VOX: 'Oh Shit!' And 'Phar Lap' was out off the blocks, 'Bat out of Hell' nostalgia.

I never did become a sprinter for New Zealand as I had dreamed. Didn't have that certain gene for speed. Though I wasn't born with the speed of Flash. Learning and applying receptive muscle activation continues to influence my own martial arts and physical training to this day.

My hands became faster due to the repetitious arm pumping movements from the arduous hours on the track 'n field. Relinquishing the fact from Bruce Lee, 'The speed of hand is dependent on the quickness of the foot', ahhhh ... yer! I made that up, he didn't say that but you get my point. Right(?) No? Yes?.

"Speed may not be innate, but it can be ignited within. With dedication and perseverance, anyone can unleash their inner swiftness and leave their limitations in the dust." - VOX

Here's a simple program Father Ken Mears taught us to increase explosive power from my own personal journals.

1. Block starts: 3 sets of 10 reps, focusing on rapid acceleration from a stationary position.
2. Resistance band training: 3 sets of 10 reps, using bands to build leg strength and explosiveness.
3. Plyometric exercises: 3 sets of 10 reps, incorporating jump squats and box jumps to develop power.
4. Sprints: 3 sets of 50-meter sprints, focusing on maintaining top-end speed.
5. Strength training: 3 sets of 10 reps, targeting legs, glutes, and core.

The Dining Hall

Unfortunately, disaster struck. News broke that Ben had been banned for using illegal substance called Stanazol and my world was shattered. The Prefects, picked Senior Jeremy to start a fight with us. My team were hounded for days. Got to us eventually, as we had a mass fight in the dining hall, it was a great one too!

A team of six, sitting at our table (not designated). I was enjoying a healthy 'Fish & Chips Decker' FCD sandy. (see below for a nutritious breakdown).

And yeah ... we're at our table Friday-Night,'Fish & Chips & Eggs Night' and pudding or dessert (I like the word 'Pudding' better than dessert. Pudding sounds fattening and funny. Dessert ... meh) was rice pudding and ice-cream. Eddie and I were gathering our foils of treasures the puddings we won earlier. It was a great moment the boys refusing to hand over their puddings.

Eddie & VOX: We started the boys,'Gimme your puddings'.

Justin started crying. He was a white kid. Green eyes and hair like a pure woolly lamb. Not a one drop of Māori blood. His parents only lived down the road. They asked the College to enlist him as his father, always away for work. Wanted Justin to grow up tough.

He was our part of our team medley. We noticed he was a team player and worked 100% harder than us Polynesians, naturally born blessed and gifted athletes. He was one of us. He belonged to our brotherhood.

Eddie: 'You made the bet Justin! Slide it over' and proceeded to take his pudding'. I felt sorry for Justin but I had to turn as I couldn't stop laughing. It wasn't funny by no means but it was. You know what I mean? Or
was it an sinister act?

The laughter soon came to halt. That's when the Prefects walked in. I looked at my puddings and the FCD sandys. I was half-way into FCD one, stuffed mouth. Full of buttery goodness. Flashbacks to the savaloy episode I was fast becoming shitty! Like hot 'n spicy shitty!

They came straight to our table. Jeremy at Eddie,'Look at this f...n f...!'. Jeremy that guy! Was a 'Proper Dick!'. The dining hall, dead silent. I would say it was going down at highnoon with the tumble weeds boucing around but it wasn't. It was ...

Spring - September 30th Friday 635pm.

We were the ages of between 12-16yrs. The prefects and seniors 17-19 years of age.

My Team

(c) Edward 16 years 195cm 105kg (Shotput).
Erin 15 years 184cm 68kg (100m, 200m, Decathlon).
VOX 15 years 173cm 61kg (Decathlon).
Jason 15 years 197cm 88kg (Hurdles).
Stephen 13 years 194cm 75kg (Long Jump).
Justin 14 years 1.61cm 53kg (3000m).

Slamming down fanta making room, for the remaining half using both hands to stuff my face of Alvin & The Chipmunks proportions. Squeezing the one left FCD in the right (not before I rammed the 2 x soft sunny side up eggs from it).

Dinner was 6pm - 730pm. We would rock up 630pm because I would coach the boys Boxing, Jeet Kune Do, Judo and 'Ninja Shit!'. Secretly after tack and field or rugby training for an hour. For two years no one knew until that night.

We were ready for the smoke. But, there was two problems?

1. Mine and Eddie's foils of treasures. And ...
2. Justin.

We had to protect him, as he was forever bullied. I sled the puddings to Justin told him to grab 'em when the time was right.

Deon one of the other senior dickheads. Pressed the issue on Eddie, picked up his sandwich and slammed it into his face.

'Justin puddings!'. Instinctively we all screamed. How that came about is a mystery to me. Jason and Stephen picked him up, both sides by his arms. We all backed into the corner with Justin at the stern. Puddings cuddle by his embrace.

Eddie took the shot like a man! Mind you, Eddie was ½ Samoan. He could take hits to the head all day long. He was a brooding figure to behold on the Rugby field.

Samoans, Tongans, Tokelau, Cooks
... man ... Polynesians are born with herculean genetics or are of the Nephilim or Rephain bloodlines.


Eddie standing straight up, grabbing Deon by his throat and choked slammed him onto the table. I hadn't seen nothing like it before The Undertaker. I saw Deons soul leave his body, all the air came out and looked as if he was trying to catch a gulp of life. I was taken aback with a hint of awe and admiration for Eddie's bravery.

We had 8 minutes before the priests would make it to us from their dining room. Still reeling from administered medications by the infirmary nurse week days Ephedrine for asthma and Ritalin for ADD from 9am that day and the gas tank was good.

Action! Justin, huddled safely. We went for it. About 2-3 minutes in. I stopped to watch the boys fight. Erin darting around like a 'bee out of bonnet' stinging the seniors with Jabs + Combos, freaking hell he was lighting fast. Jason and Stephen standing over Justin straight kicks, headbutts and straights. They looked like literal Giraffes or Kung Fu Mantis Shaolin fighter's.

Eddie ... was getting beaten on bad. Erin jumped on the back of Paul who was ripping into Eddie and started the 'Sleeper Hold' which I taught the boys. When they asked how to do Brutus The Barber Beef Cake finishing move. Paul was slamming Erin hard into the walls. Then like WWE slowly watched Paul lose his battle down to one knee then two and out by 'Dreamtime'.

Deon, still looked dead. But, breathing because of his belly. He wasn't a tiny tot.

Amongst all the smoke. I heard his voice 'C...T!'. It was Star Trekked beamed right at me! Yer, it was the greatest dickhead that ever lived. Jeremy Dixon.

He lined me up for a swinging right club. I'd seen him knock out a few on the rugby fields with it.

He was 176cm 84kg 18 years old. I braced, closed my eye's. Father Ken: 'Oh for the love of blessed Mary and Joseph. Go VOX put a heel on it ladó!'.

With eyes wide open. I lowered my centre and slammed a straight right to the ding-ding! A reenactment! In the iconic scene from "Fist of Fury", Bruce Lee's character, Chen Zhen, delivers a swift and powerful punch to that of his victim, Suzuki.

Yer, that punch has become one of the most memorable moments in martial arts cinema, showcasing Bruce Lee's speed, power, and technique.The facial expression of anguish and justified hatred.

The FCD sandy was still in my right hand at time of execution. I looked up at Jeremy his face was screaming. Eye's watered. Duck pouted lips squeezing out whatever forms of life he had left in the bean bags.

From out of the blocks. Generating a mass amount of power from the lunge squat position I found myself in from the groin strike. I flew up with a 'switch left Tiger Knee Uppercut'. I finished him with a right hook from orthodox. I like to believe my the grip on my FCD was what gave me the KO victory! 'Lights Out' Jeremy was KO'ed for the count. I didn't feel any impact at all. It was like I punched a pillow. 'Waaahhhhh' was my cry 'The facial expression of anguish and justified hatred'. '(See photo .3)

Looked back at Justin gave him the thumbs up! His returned look back, was of anxiety. I could tell he wanted to help. I motioned to him to stay put and yelled,'Protect the puddings!'. I was laughing letting him know everything will be peachy.

Stuffed FCD number two down the hatch. Proceeded to perform a flying side kick jumping off a chair and then the table 'Jackie Chan' style, into the filthy few attacking Eddie and now Erin.

All I could remember, thereafter was things weren't going our way, there was too many of them. Eddie swollen right eye, used the wall to get back up to his feet. He looked over to me, smirked because I taught him the technique 30mins before. Reversed turned, again Eddie performed a deep squat. BOOM. Choke-Hold slammed the dude. The Undertaker would be dead from it. Eddie was on fire!

Erin was tiring out. I did tell him to stop smoking as he was asthmatic too. His hand reached into his pocket drawing the holy grail of life. The inhaler asthma pump. Erin hands scrambling to get a hold of it.

One ... Two ... Three esh esh esh was the sound of the inhaler. I don't know if it's a placebo effect or whatever the hell is in that cannister. It was like watching a resurrection but laced to the 9's on coffee & sugars.

Stephen and Jason brothers were still hanging on. I on the other hand and the both of them free, was having fun but gassing out too!

Erin chucked the inhaler to me. Freaking heck, missed that one! Sliding to Justin.

Like some stories, there was light at the end of the tunnel. That kid Justin. Mustered up the strength from goodness knows where? Forking the feet and shins of the seniors. Which actually did help Stephen and Jason.

Finally, the Priests came. Five of us ended up in the infirmary Justin, he was safe and that was all that mattered. He came in the next morning with mine and Eddie's treasures of pudding. We both gave the boys theirs back. Watching Eddie handing Justin's pudding back to him. Made me cry. It was a very touching moment.

No matter Ben Johnson was still our hero,'For Ben' I bellowed holding up the bowl of rice custard pudding with melted Neapolitan ice-cream.

'FOR BEN THE FASTEST MAN ON EARTH' the rest holding up their puddings in salute.

The six of us ate our puddings reliving the night before laughing with sore jaws and ribs. Poking fun at each other.

Stephen: 'Bro, you were boiling your eyes out like a baby!' ... hahahaha pointing at Justin.
Justin: 'I'm white and I was scared'.

Jason: 'Shuddup Stephen. You shit your pants!'

Stephen: 'F...n did not. It was a nervous fart. I was scared too!'.

The Team: bahahahaha

We channeled negative energy into training even harder. I focused on developing my physical performance, pouring every ounce of sweat and determination into becoming the best version of myself. I knew I couldn't control what others thought, but I could control my own work ethic and dedication.

Looking back, I realize that Ben Johnson's legacy taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, hard work, brotherhood and staying true to myself. Even though he fell from grace, his impact on my life remained. I continued to chase my dreams, and though I may not have become the fastest kid on the planet, I became a formidable 'Prize-Fighter' in my own right. And for that, I'll always be grateful to Ben Johnson, my childhood sprinting Jamaican/Canadian hero.

Comparison of the bio stats of Ben Johnson and Usain Bolt:
