Still feeling under the weather. I just don't have my normal appetite. Staying hydrated and eating tolerable protein snack, eggs, protein drinks, fruits. Weight is dropping. I wonder if this is what should feel like being on a GLP? I'm not on one at the moment. I suppose I am negating the food consumption from last week. I did see some slight edema with the increased sodium and sugar from last weeks meals.
I did my normal Wednesday workout, 2 plate presses. Was moving well, did seem to run out of gas towards the end. Still very happy with my strength. More stability and confidence in my presses.
Regarding the bloodwork I am on the support supplements like N2Guard. I did skip 2 injections but resume my normal schedule this week.
I will wind down at the end of April.
I would be anxious to see if you all think I have made gains. It is hard to tell yourself. I do need to get rid of the hair. I may do it sooner or later, it may have to wait till I get back from the next college trip.

I supposed you should feel less hunger but its hard to keep track of your diet. @PrinceDaddy I kind of see the updates but details not sure, you seem to be self coaching which is difficult.
Glad to see you feeling better. Whatever has been going around this season has been nasty.
I feel like it is diet, daily aspirin, and I do take a statin: rovustatin.
Ok that makes sense, ive thought about a statin just for long term use of that and to prevent to much inflammation and stress on the body.

Got under 190 for the first time this year. Did not expect stomach flu to get me there. I am feeling much better today. In fact I cooked today and am eating as I type this. It's been a while since I cooked, 2 weeks ago. I am ready to getting back to my normal food. I have ground beef 93/7 ready for a few days.
My trap/tricep, and RDL workout was back to normal as well. I'm ready to start grinding. I do feel stronger.
One day at a time.

I should also mention higher doses of deca seem to blow my cholesterol numbers. Test/EQ just affects my RBC/Hematocrit/Hemoglobin.
@PrinceDaddy Hope you feel better soon! Take care and prioritize rest and recovery. It's good you're keeping an eye on your bloodwork and understand how your cycle affects those markers. Looking forward to hearing about your trip when you're feeling up to it.
That is good information if i run them i will watch those, i was thinking long term prevention of issues we as bodybuilders run into, so i figured if i can get approved for a statin why not run it while i cycle.
@PrinceDaddy that stomach flu is no joke. My kids had it and it was rough on them

Rain today so not much walking. Had to run homer mid workout and return. Decent arm workout. Working on more core as I go forward. HJoping to have better ab control. I also feel like I need to work on lat flaring. Does not seem balanced.
Tomorrow is my heavy leg day. Looking forward to it. That's what happens when you travel for a week. Planning my meals up to Thursday next week. Will miss the evening meal, likely boiled eggs.
Looks like grocery stores do not have liquid egg whites. I use pretty heavily. Brought last 3 cartons today. Heard or read the chicken flu, they are prioritizing eggs vs egg products. Will likely use a substitute next week. Maybe Fairlife 2%. Looking for high protein base liquid for shakes.

Good workout today. Back to box squatting banded 405. It's been 2 weeks. Strength is still there. Weight has dropped. Got rid of my forearm hair.
This week will be just back to my normal work outs. As mentioned, I fly out again on Thursday. Friday AM will likely use hotel gym. Flying back early Saturday AM. May just do normal leg day when I return. We shall see. The boiled eggs will be for Thursday evening travel. I should really be able to focus on the show after this trip. It is the last visit before her decision.
Eating ground beef 93/7 with sweet potato mixed in. Really miss my meals. Still need to get rid of more body hair, then the progress shots will start rolling in.

My appetite has returned. Last night I started eating, had a hard time getting to full. I though my weight would go up a bit but it seems to be holding. Today was 4 top sets with 2 plate 225 presses. My gym got some new equipment when I was out last week. I have been adjusting to the new equipment. Honestly, the older equipment was better. It will just take time getting used to new equipment. There is a new Smith machine. The bar is thicker. The guidelines are different. The weight feels different. Not as smooth as the older machine.
Forearm looking vascular now that they are hairless. Need to more. May have to wait till I return from the next trip.

Appetite is definitely back. I just want to eat. Healthy clean foods, just a desire to have a full belly. Trying to preload with water and drinking extra water with food for more satiation.
Have started working on body weight pull ups. Really need to work on flaring the lats out. My back movements feel pretty good. Joints feel good.
Strength and control are on point. I'm ready to shred.

@PrinceDaddy you're far enough out now start cutting april 1
@Npcclassicphysique champ I agree 100%. I'm really wanting to see the physique changes. I have one more college trip this week. Next week I plan on getting rid of the remaining body hair. Once I can see it, I can focus in on the physique. I am getting excited to see what I can do this year.

I think my squats have really improved. I am really getting deep in the hole. Have good control. I can usually get my legs shredded. Hoping to have some mass on them. Would really like to get more mass all around on the legs. Anyone able to do the Jay Cutler Quad stomp? Get the quad to wiggle before and then harden it?
I have so much hair it's just too hard to see under coat. Next week, I'll get rid of it. Also in my walks in the sun, the skin will darken and thin .
I am planning the cut cycle to start in May.
Nothing solid yet, but this is the plan for the contest cut cycle
Starting May
Sun/Tues/Thurs Injection Cycle
100mg Test Cyp (0.5 cc)
50mg Tren Ace (0.5 cc)
150mg EQ (0.5 cc)
200mg Masteron Enthante (1.0 cc)
Total Injection Volume 2.5 cc
Weekly Volume
300mg Test Cyp
150mg Tren Ace
450mg EQ
600mg Mast
Total grams : 1.5 g
Mid May
SLU-P332 *NEW*
Retatrutide *NEW*
Starting June
Clen
Winstrol
Anavar
T3
Cardarine
Most everything I have used previously. My focus at the gym will be the aesthetics. Focus on the muscle with the great form and minimum weight for feel and stimulus. No ego lifts. Control.

3 top sets of my chest 225 upper body presses. My focus has been shoulders and delts. I seem to wake up tired but get it done. My presses themselves feel strong. The anabolics are working. Weight is trending up. Appetite is up. Fly out tomorrow to Cleveland for the daughter's last college visit. Likely no log entries till Sat or Sun. I should be able to focus on the show after this trip. Will be off diet on Friday, just need to keep it in reason.
Made an omelet today. My avocados are not ripe. So, solo omelet.
Thanks everyone for your support. I appreciate it. I hope my log is informative and helpful.

I am back. As mentioned previously one last college visit to Cleveland, Ohio. Daughter had a great time. She is choosing between 3 schools.
All good schools, she is the one going, not me... so it is her decision. I am glad to be done with these trips. I can focus on bodybuilding. My diet
was a little compromised with all the traveling. Probably TMI, but my digestive system gets whacked. It seems like I get constipated. In any case I am glad to be done.
I did a partial Saturday Leg work out, mostly machines. Today I did my normal chest/shoulder 2 plate 225 press work out. Feel pretty good.
Weight from the stomach flu seems to be back. I did eat a little off menu on Friday/Sat. I'm back on my normal food. I am missing liquid egg whites, having to sub fairlife fat free milk for my protein drinks.
I can focus on the show. Ready to start cutting into the show.
Cleveland is where Superman was created. It's time to be SUPER!
Superman is jacked. Look at those quads. All these comic book characters are bodybuilders in disguise.

Great back work out today. 5 plate T bar rows. I also do landmine squats and rdls with the same machine on the way down. 130 lb dumb bell rows. 3 top sets. Still working on pull ups trying to flare out the lats. I'm in the 3-5 rep range. I'll get to 10, just have to keep working it.
The plan is to continue to get back to normal routine this week. Looking to shed some more hair on Saturday. Just trying to move to the 185-190 weight range.
Eating ground beef 93/7 with sweet potatoes. Love my food. Ready to grind.

It will be fun to explore wherever she decides to go. I'm not that well traveled in Ohio, Indiana, and Central Pennsylvania. Our visits were focused on the school so apart from the airport and the campus we did not do much else.
Good updates brother. Good luck to your daughter on her next journey with college! I know what you mean, it's nice to get back to the regular routine. Especially when diet affects you like that.

Getting back to my routine. I feel like when I have a good rhythm, things are progressing. More reps, heavier weight, more control, new movements. Feels like I just have been stale. I look to do 10-12 reps on any lift, but it feels like I am getting 7 to 10. It is as if my energy levels are low. I'm hoping this changes with all the college visits completed.
Been thinking about how to grow some legs. Part of me is thinking about pushing the rep range from 10 to 20. It would be a beating, but I think with a little push and motivation. I think I can do 315. I did 8 tops sets of banded 315 anywhere from 6-10 reps. On the leg press, I am also trying to get my knees closer to my chest.
Let's see how things progress...

Still dragging a bit. I felt some androgen rage today as I seemed want to push, harder, faster. Waiting on equipment, feel like I'm running slower.
I am getting it done, mentally I just want to do more, but am out of time. My friend is out of town the next few weeks, so I'll be walking myself. I've been trying to catch up on podcasts. I have been behind due to the college visits.
Eating my last serving of ground beef 93/7 with sweet potato. Thawing Ground Chicken 98/2 for meal prep tomorrow. Will have omelet for dinner after the meat prep.
As I move thru April, I would like to see my weight drop to the 184-189 range. I would like to become more agile on the body movement exercises, pull ups, etc. I still need to trim more body hair. The leg hair should come off this Saturday. Will prob get rid of the chest/belly hair the following week. Will post progress shots once I clean it up a bit.

Thursday : Traps /Tris/Dumb Bell RDLs
Wake Up @ 197
Post Workout @ 192
Step Count: 21K
Androgen Rage : High
Cycle Status : Week 10 Clean Bulk
Show Date : 07/16/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 176.25 lbs
I am starting to feel some intensity. Still feel a little slow. Definitely feeling some rage and moving thru my workout. 130 lb dumb bell shrugs and rdls. Feels pretty easy. I'm anxious to see your impressions on physique impact. Anxious to see if you all see much in changes from previous years. It's hard to tell much by yourself. Mirror tells truths and lies. Appetite is up, just staying consistent. I do feel like my biggest issue is still my mid-section and am actively working on vacuums and core control. I would anticipate more focus on this with every week going forward.
Almost time!

@PrinceDaddy I agree its your mid section, but vacuums wont fix the problem of the size of it. Digestion and discussing diet will help a lot.

Appetite is up. Weight seems to be going up. Tomorrow is leg day. Plan on being intense with all my travels done. Had a friend give me some Uprising Ascend samples. Just may run it on Sat/Sun for some intense work outs. Plan on trimming leg hair tomorrow. Next week will do the chest and belly. I have quite the carpet so a little at a time.
I am starting to add more body weight exercises. Pull ups notably. This is actually a good bicep exercise. I am bit frustrated with the new equipment at my gym. Bars that while adequate not as good as previous bars for angles and feel.
Eating ground chicken 98/2 with sweet potato today. Ready to shed.

Got rid of the leg hair. Next week the chest and belly fur. I'm pretty vascular, but the definition is less. To be expected as I am at the beginning of the cut. My androgen rage has been higher, Really get after it. Was going to take the Uprising Ascend Kratom today, but skipped due to feeling good intensity.
I have not done 405 box squats due to the college travels. Seemed to come back pretty easy for me today. I am thinking in May I will drop to 315 and try to get more reps
Time to transform...

@PrinceDaddy no leg hair? how about leg pics then
I think you should do less squats to lower the waist size.

Decent work out today. More focus on core to start with ab work and vacuums. Then progress to shoulders and chest with focus on delt activation. I feel pretty good. I'm strong, I just don't seem to have rage. I feel like in years past. I had more strength and rage. The leg, arm, back carpet is gone. I just have the chest/belly/privates. I'll get rid of that next Saturday. It's a hefty task when you have not shaved since last year.
Here's how the legs look. Feels the same to me. Of course, still have much fat to lose for better conditioning and cuts
Weight is trending down again. Hope to see this continue...

Great update. I like the chest and shoulder workout. Nice honest updates.
Bro. Damn, you cutting down 176 pounds. You going to be lean?
Good work on the box squats.
A few good updates there brother. Legs looking good. Don't be too hard on yourself since the cut is just starting.

Getting used to the new machines. Strength is good. I am moving weight with ease. With most of the hair gone, I'm really looking for some pop to my muscles. Legs are coming in. Tomorrow is leg day so I'm anxious to see how my legs look. As mentioned I would like to see the rep count go up on the top sets.
As far as my back goes. I am doing 5 plates on the chest supported t bar rows. 130 lb dumb bell rows. Going up to 4 plates each side on the iso lateral row. On the plate loaded lat pulldown I go as high as 3 plates each side. Would like to do 4, but need someone to hold me down to lock in my legs. I am also working on lat pull ups. I am doing 3-6 at this point. I want an easy 10+ without even thinking about it. Just have to keep working it and as I get lighter I should progress.
Appetite is strong. Eating ground chicken 98/2 with sweet potato. I am really having watch what I eat. Drinking water, trying to pre-fill before food. I just want to eat and snack. I'm really having to just say no. I will need to get more serious as May approaches.
Happy Monday!
