@VitalGains nice work man. Like the update
Nice midday update.
Always interesting to read your notes.
Awesome, with the stomach vacuuming. That definitely helps with your posture.
Man, this is fantastic reading through your notes or giving some good tips as you go.
Keep this up and you'll definitely have good results.
And John Meadows is a good dude to learn from. It's a shame. He had a heart attack.
I have learnt so much from John Meadows exercise advice, he really was a legend. We lost a good one too early ! Every person that has interviewed him or worked with him on youtube speaks to highly of him also, he must have been a great person to work with/get to know.John Meadows is definitely a legend and he's helped so many people, one of the few dudes that are respected

@VitalGains Good training and I'm happy to see you're on cardarine and slu, want to see you really lean out.Update:
Everything is progressing nicely. The weight is coming down steadily and my strength for the most part is maintaing the way id want. Upper body is weaker then the lower, in the sense that legs are continuing to progress in weight week by week, but the upper has reached a stinking point. Having to utilise double progression on the upper body by keeping the weight the same and increasing the reps week to week.
PED's/Supplements:
Today marks a week that i have started taking @Driven-Nutrition Kaizen. Im taking 1mL 30 minutes before pre-workout. All i can say is wow, im definetley noticing an increase in energy during the workout im also noticing improvements in my recovery. Last week for example i had overlapping DOM's from my upper day 1 - Chest focus, whereby i had to delay my second upper day 2 - Back focus. This was also the same story for the lower body day 1 - Quads focus and lower day 2 - Glute/Ham focus. Being able to recover and not having overlapping DOM's is massive for me and i will continue to monitor as its to early to definitively say after 1 week.
Further, i have added in @Driven-Nutrition SLU-PP-332 at 1500 mcg daily - or 500 mcg (0.25mL) upon waking before fasted cardio/breakfast, lunch and dinner. To early to state what my verdict is, but i feel like i have a noticeable change in my face and body overall, ill continue these alone for now as they are working and i feel great. Big thank you to @B3rnie who has provided some great information over on Drivens thread, im very happy with the products thus far !
I was going to add in some Cardarine from @Raptor Labs but what im taking now is working so i dont want to overcomplicate my regimen. When i hit a plateau ill add in some cardarine and see what happens. Sorry @Raptor Labs for not getting back to you and your rep on Threema but i feel that i need to understand what im taking is doing for my body. If i add in too many things to early i want know whats doing what and i really want to learn how my body/supplementation works for me.
No. The underlined is what he didYou kept waking up? Have you gotten Valerian root into your routine? @VitalGains
+1 will be good and add +2 on some.

Im walking a track in the national park near my house daily its a 4.8 km round trip with alot of elevation. My whoop broke so cant post the stats on it but im sweating and in sections i can feel it would be hard to hold a conversation. The only day i dont do this is before my day shifts as i start work at 5:30.One of the things I would like to see from you is more cardio.
Thanks mateNice updates and I'm glad you're updating what you're taking with supplementation as well.
Killing it bro! Side note what's simulator you running? Was thinking of trying to set up with the rapsodo pro so I can take it on the range too. What are you playing off?Im walking a track in the national park near my house daily its a 4.8 km round trip with alot of elevation.

I also play 18 holes of golf on my days off, i have a golf simulator in my garage and practice on it heaps. Plus we live on a pretty large block and the yard work alone makes me very tired.
I really should have posted more about what im doing cardio wise !
@VitalGains im interested too bro had to look up these golf simulators to understand lolKilling it bro! Side note what's simulator you running? Was thinking of trying to set up with the rapsodo pro so I can take it on the range too. What are you playing off?
Good to hear that. You're progressing nicely.
Also good that you're realizing what your weaknesses are and you want to work on them.
Bros. Keep grinding away. Your upper body being not as strong as a good thing. It gives you more incentive to push it.
Oh wow. These are some solid updates. The notes are really fun to read.
You're giving some good tips along with your workouts.
That's really cool to see.
Keep up the good work.
You are a true champion
Hey mate, I have a uneekor eye mini, I love taking mine to the range and I also use it in my garage with GSPRO ! My current handicap is 3.4 I try and play comp at my local course once a fortnight as im very spoiled having the sim downstairs, I turn on the AC and play with no wait timesKilling it bro!

I want one so bad haha, im off ga 7.2 currently but just dont have time with work to get it down further. If nothing else it can keep me swinging frequently, short game will take the biggest hit in winter when daylight savings disappears. Oh well only a club golfer at the end of the day haha.Hey mate, I have a uneekor eye mini, I love taking mine to the range and I also use it in my garage with GSPRO !

Ps. I forgot to add I have used my mates rapsodo pro many times and it's great. Plus they have integration with GSPRO coming very soon if its not already out
@Npcclassicphysique champ They are great fun, I get the guys over from work and we play on a team together all the time. My brothers kids love it too ! As I said above the launch monitor I have is a uneekor eye mini and the software I run is called GSPRO.
Well you have achieved what less then %5 of golfers do, so well done for being such a great club golfer. Id say its still a worthy investment and if you can set up a structured wedge matrix, and practice it atleast twice a weak i promise your HC will come down. The best part of my game is within 110 metres and i can thank that to my LM. Sure i miss greens and fairways just like everyone else, but i get out of trouble alot. LMs are great for repeating hard shots. I set my self up in the rough behind treess, all sorts of shitty situations and try and get out. Sure a mat is more forgiving but it does help me on the course knowing the feeling, i just think about not hitting it thin and im golden.I want one so bad haha, im off ga 7.2 currently but just dont have time with work to get it down further.

Thanks mate and yes for sure inside 100 every shot can either apply or reduce pressure of the next shot so this is definitely where the magic needs to happen.

I have a short throw distance from my mat to the wall so my options were limited. I went with the Optoma GT2160HDR, but to be honest before i had the projector screen i was just using a 4k TV. Sure doesnt have the same cool factor as the projector set up, but it worked just the same.Thanks mate and yes for sure inside 100 every shot can either apply or reduce pressure of the next shot so this is definitely where the magic needs to happen.

@VitalGains Great workout log! You've got a well-structured upper body routine with a good mix of compound and isolation exercises. The detailed notes on target reps, load, RPE, and rest times are helpful for tracking progress and making adjustments. Awesome work!Date: 26/03/2025

wow I love it that's a great setup
Very thorough on these workouts you even include how much rest time you're getting. That's pretty cool stuff.
Short rest periods, between sets is a great way to build up your conditioning.
Keep up the good work, boss, we love what you're doing here.
Impressive, as always.
And you're getting some excellent quality sleep.
Great job. Getting deep Sleep for almost 9 hours. Wow.
That will go a long way.
leg curls and other leg exercises are A+
you are building some big legs!
Thank you everyoneAnother excellent workout.
