Looking great man!!! Back shots are standout.
Fasting Sunday : Single plate chest/shoulder presses / Abs / Posing
Wake Up @ 177
Post Workout @ 173
Step Count: 11K
Pre-meal glucose : 78
Pre-meal ketones : 0.3
GKI : 14.4 (Not in Ketosis)
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 18 Contest Cut Cycle
Show Date : 08/28/2024 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 176.25 lbs
I am almost there! Tomorrow is another fasting day. I will do a light back work out. I also plan on getting my step count as normal 35K or so.
I fly out on Tuesday and will be on stage Wed & Thurs. I am getting excited. I like where my physique is. At this point it is what it is. Other than posing you are not going to impact much at this point. The weight is in the range. I wish it was consistently below, but I think it will be on Tuesday.
I am planning on monitoring the weight while I am there. My expectation is step on stage every time around 173-176. I have to correct if I get out that range. I'm accounting for some water loss from my current range.
Here's how it looks with some other poses today
Thanks for your support!

Last work out is done. Thought I would do a light back work out, but instead had a very good heavier than expected work out. Feel a little sore, but good muscle mind connection. Got my step count in. I am tired of this excessive walking, but it seems to be the best way for me to get my conditioning. It's still hot in Texas, upper 90s, but there is a coolness in the air now.
No more work outs till this Saturday, and that's just a fart around keep the habit type of work out. I have seen partial results from my blood work, I i will post when it is complete. Values are generally good, with the exception of some expected exceptions.
It's show time now. Finish packing in a bit. Get up early in the AM and do the body hair grooming, fly out later in the morning.
Dinner this evening was 2 whole eggs plus 2 egg white portions and an avocado. Trying to eat lighter but normal. My intent is I like how I look the next day generally, I just want to replicate it and do nothing odd. I did get as low as 168 due to the Texas heat. I expect I will rehydrate and with food get back to mid 170s.
Watching the weight closely. this is me at 168.
Go time peeps!!! Thanks everyone for your support!

Back to gym Saturday : Some legs work, more vocal work recounting my show.
Wake Up @ 185 (Competed at 171-173, notice the post contest rebound +10 or +12)
Post Workout @ 182
Step Count: 6K
Androgen Rage : Low
Cycle Status : Complete
Show Date : Complete for 2024
And so begins the off-season. I am happy with my show. No more fasting, no more keto/glucose testing. Will keep my step count at 10K.
Sept will be a fart around month to get a 20% sloppy on the diet. Just keep the gym habit and do something, but non-specific in terms of goals.
Blood work from pre-show is almost ready, just waiting on estradiol. Will post with cycle thoughts when complete.
I would like to have done better but it is what it is. I find myself on the outside looking in.
Moving away from the center instead of closer to the center. So here is how I placed:
BB MW 50+ Placed 3 of 4
CP A 45+ Placed 9 of 9
CP A 55+ Placed 8 of 10
MP A 50+ Placed 7 of of 8
MP A 55+ Placed 4 of of 6
Placed in 2 categories. I will take it. I will post some of my better pictures later in the week.

Show Date : Complete for 2024
Yesterday and today back to 2 plates or 225. Non specific goals. At this point just enjoying myself and trying to keep the edema at bay. My appetite is insane crazy. I want to eat everything under the sun. Last night I though I would just have Pizza Hut personal pizza, I did. We had company over and one of the big box pizzas. I had 4 of those slices.
I suppose there are 3 ways of eating a meal.
1) Eat and leave the tank a little empty
2) Eat adequate amount or the right amount
3) blow it out and eat like an a$$hole.
I did number 3. Oh well, it is the off season. Weird thing about this. I have mentioned my sleep issues. Last night I slept from about 10am to 4pm without getting up once. That has not happened in a long time. Maybe I need more carbs for sleep?
Watching my legs and sock line for edema.
Tomorrow is back day. One day at a time!

Excellent job man it's so hard to win these competitions these days there's so many great athletes across the country who are able to compete thanks to social media and being sponsored so you should be proud of your showing
10 years ago you would have been first place easy

Must of been some stiff ass competition
Last night my phone rang at around 1am. Looked at the number and did not answer. A number I did not recognize. Unfortunately did not go back to sleep as well.
I was supposed to get up at my usual 4AM. I felt lazy. It is labor day. I should just take a break and I did. As mentioned I have been eating out of my normal meal plan. I am getting a bit tired of the rich foods now. There are some things I need to finish. I think Thurs or Friday, I will be back my normal meals + off season additions.
A break week is ok, I sure needed it. I think I may have pushed harder yesterday than I realized.
Here's me in BB form last week

Contest Cut Cycle Blood work
May 1-Aug 30
Sun/Tues/Thurs Injection Cycle
100mg Test Cyp (0.5 cc) (Reduced to 200mg/week total after July 1)
50mg Tren Ace (0.5 cc)
150mg EQ (0.5 cc) (Reduced to 300mg/week total afterJuly 1)
200mg Masteron Ethanate (1.0 cc)
Total Injection Volume 2.5 cc
Weekly Volume
300mg Test Cyp (Reduced to 200mg/week total after July 1)
150mg Tren Ace
450mg EQ (Reduced to 300mg/week total after July 1)
600mg Mast
Total grams : 1.5 g
GH 2iu daily (Stopped after July 1)
Semaglutide 5mg (Started June 1)
BPC-157 5Mg (Started June 1)
Anastrozole 0.5mg Sun/Wed ( increased to daily Aug 11)
Orals
Clen
Winstrol
Anavar
Proviron
T3
Cardarine
All things considered. Pretty reasonable given the drugs in use. At this point back to TRT TestCyp 200mg weekly.
Nothing else. Next blood work scheduled for Sept 27. Should be back to base levels by then.
Lessons learned. I do believe having injections end around a week before the show is ideal. Also increasing AI to crush estradiol the last 2 weeks
did seem to bring out more leanness or dryness. It seems like my arms and forearms got vascular at that point.

@PrinceDaddy PSA Is good thats positive, I would work work on the alt/ast and kidneys urea
a bit more fasting, you alright with that?
It'd be good to see these compared with the new ones
for that sort of cycle the blood work isn't that bad
Will be interesting to compare to next round of bloods. I would expect the off markers to bounce back.
The blood work isnt terrible
Blood work is important!
Hi Evo Peeps. Thanks so much for your support!

3 Plate Box Squats / 3 Plate Dead lifts
I am happy with my progress this year. I feel like my conditioning and prep for show 2 met my standard. I do feel like I have been more peeled at a show last year or the the year before, but my conditioning was up to my standard. I also think I did make some gains. My delts/chest had a little growth. I liked the cycle. I would most definitely repeat. I feel like if I could add 1 inch on my delts/arms/quads/thighs my physique would be more balanced. Of course, I am sure I would want another inch once I got that inch. It is what it is. I feel like what I am doing is working. It just will take time.
I am now more focused on getting a job. I have still been looking. I am trying to get some certifications that may help careerwise.
Also, thinking of some tech personal projects in this area we all love. Have been thinking on this for quite a while. I just need the education and time to pursue it. I certainly have that for the moment.
I feel like at this point with workout and drug protocols and being almost 56, I'm just not sure if the growth is possible. I do feel like if I can do it I need to increase the GH to 10 iu (maybe pharmaceutical) and use insulin along with all the usual suspect peds to make those type of gains. I'm not sure I want to do this. Part of me feels like this is the next step next year to progress. I don't have go batshit crazy maybe small experiment and monitor health and progress? Of course, I can't afford a pharma versions, but maybe the underground versions. Something to ponder for next year
I am deep in my off season rest month. I have been going to the gym and staying steady. I am not setting specific goals. I just want to easily press overhead or chest with 225 and squat/dead lift with 315. The month of September is stay active and do something. It is hard to find the right programming. I tend to slip into the last few weeks of contest prep and at this point I don't need that. I need one form of squat, 1 form of dead, etc. I just need to make that muscle group is engaged and not over do it with volume. I think this also a great time to light weight experiment targeting muscles with some new movements.
I am closely watching my legs for edema. I tend to get Edema post competition. I am trying to make sure keep doing cardio and working out to balance the off diet load

Not looking too bad. On Wed it was noticeable. I had some cake donuts from Shipley's. I could see the inflammation or the water in my skin.
I should probably stay away from that.
Bye now.

@PrinceDaddy how are you feeling? update the EVO family bro
Sorry I have been incognito. I had been so focused for the show back on Aug 28. Basically bodybuilding was life at that point. I needed to walk away for a bit. So what I have I been doing. Here you go.
No PEDs other than my doctor prescribed 200mg weekly TestCyp. No AI at this point either since I crashed my Estrogen for the show.
Last injection was Aug 22. Blood work was done on Aug 23/Sept 27. Blood work was actually a little better on Aug 23 vs Sept 27. Will post later in the week. I have been fully open with my menu at the moment. If I desire it I eat it. I would characterize it as 30% BB foods and 70% off menu foods. I am getting my full, I feel like it is causing worse bloodwork vs the PEDs and contest prep where my diet is super clean. I will clean up the diet some more just due to getting my full of some foods. October is my birthday month. I will turn 56 in a few weeks. So, I don't want to be restrictive yet. I am transitioning to better choices little by little.
My weight at the show was between 170-174. I do feel like I have been leaner on stage, but I was at 162 or so. This is a heaviest lean package I have had at show. I do feel like I made some gains this year.
I did keep my workouts and walks but just with less volume and time. I like to make sure I keep the habit but not have a specific goal in mind.
I did keep my 225 chest/shoulder presses and built up to 315 squats/deads. Actually got up to 405 this past weekend. At this point no goals, just maintain strength. I need the workouts to just be fun. Leading into the show the routine was monotonous and repetitive. It just felt like a chore. I need that beast mode to come back.
Weight was floating between 175-180 pre show. Right now weight is between 195-200. A bit fluffy.
Deep down, happy to have placed in 2 of 5 classes, but I want to do better. I want to improve. I have been pondering what worked and what didn't.
My biggest issue is my midsection. This offseason the goal is reduce the mid-section and increase the delts and arms. That would result in a more balanced physique.
The high for 2024 was probably the 600 lb trap bar dead lift. I am not power lifter, but there is something exciting about pulling that much weight of the ground. Blood rushes to your brain and you see stars or swirlies. It's a good feel. I think I am done doing dead lifts. I think it has thickened my midsection and just is not benefitting me on the physique stage. The definition of insanity is to keep doing same thing and expect a different result. I am thinking on what tweaks i need to make.
I will start my logging again with my thoughts. Full bloodwork should be available later in the week. I'll post with my thoughts.
Here's how it looks all fluffy....
Excited to get some workout and cycle supplements from N2BM, Need to build and keep that blood work in healthy range. This is called the health or clean up phase, right? I don't plan on any anabolics till next year around Feb.
Thanks @RoySimpson
On the job front. I am still looking. Many ghost jobs and few real jobs. Just doing what I can. Working on some certs, specifically lean six sigma.
On the dad front, still handling his Medicaid application, and now trying to sort thru selling his property,
The work continues.....

Aug 31, Sept 7,14, 21 (Test Prop 150mg)
At this point, I am back to my pharma TRT script for 200mg weekly with Test Cyp.
Blood Work was fasted and on 09/27.
LDL up, no drugs since cycle other than TRT script. Feels like the off season diet is affecting my numbers.
Tested on my Keto Mojo before going to the lab.
Glucose was 93, Ketones were 0.1.
AST and ALT are still high, I did not work out this day prior to collection and was fasted. I did work out the previous days.
I will want to see this come down next blood work. RBC, Hemoglobin, and Hematocrit are higher, I would have thought I would
have seen this during the cycle. Instead it is afterwards. This is likely the open diet. I suppose better controlled when eating clean.
I think the 150mg Test Prop may be underdosed and not quite my TRT script. I am back on my pharma Test Cyp 1ml 200 dose weekly
I would expect this to be in the normal range next time I do blood work. Thyroid is back to normal.
IGF is good for me. No GH since June. The highest I have ever seen is 194. That was the first time I used GH and was not cutting yet but eating clean.
Estradiol seems ok, low, but ok. No AI since the show. Don't plan on using unless i see need on the next blood work.
PSA is usually not an issue for me.
My plan is to run blood work again around 12/06. I don't plan to cycle till February.
I generally feel good. Joints feel ok. I have put on some weight and fat. I have been around 200 at this point.
My squats have leveled up to 405. My chest/shoulder presses are at 225. I am thinking I just dead lift a single plate now slo mo
Alternating trap bar and regular bar. Will stay at these weights with small increments if I feel it 2.5s on each side. Looking for rep counts of
8 to 12 with good form. Not interested in PRs or power lifts. For a guy my size these are very strong lifts. So, I feel no need to do more weight,
just slower tempo for muscle contraction and maybe some more reps.
These last 2 years for sure I don't feel like the energy burst anymore. I am having to bring down the weight and volume. I don't know if it is age or wear and tear, but I just don't have the same stamina as a few years ago. I do turn 56 in a few weeks. I am slowing down.
Goal is to increase delts/arms and decrease waist.

@PrinceDaddy I can see the bloods are overall average but some things like liver and kidneys need organ liver support on a higher level IMO
and the energy burst, you're getting older, its normal to have less energy, have you tried ostazol m1mk /cardazol pre training?
thanks for showing the blood work
unfortunately it comes with the territory when your bodybuilding

Love seeing bloodwork
If you suspect diet to be a key, make those changes first and see where things land.
Happy Halloween Peeps. Still working out. Almost time to shift back to goals. Deep in bulk as you can see.
Hope everyone is doing well!
