Approved Log 2025 Maintenance Phase - Test E, Primo, Retatrutide Cycle

Haha yes I'm British.
I listen to the podcast and followed Mobster over here from UK-Muscle
mobster is a good man. i've taught him half the stuff he knows lol :)
 
Think I'm going to like posting here, you guys are all very positive and encouraging!

Reta update:
It's definitely working. Had meal 1 and hour later than usual because I had no hunger signalling to remind me to cook it!

Meal 1: 200ml egg whites, 2 large eggs, spinach, peppers, red onion, 1 light bagel

Ate it fine but was very full afterwards, and it's a small meal. My next meal is in half an hour and I'm not hungry at all. A week ago I was hungry immediately after eating!

New addition to my training split to bring up my hamstrings and glutes as per judges feedback from my last show. Went in tentative with the weights but still kicked my arse :LOL:
 
I'm off to Manchester tomorrow with work for a conference for 3 days, hotel has a free breakfast and work give us a £30 a day allowance, but I will be pocketing that...so here's my meal prep for the next 3 days! Chicken, cod, spinach all prepped, will buy some rice cakes, bananas, greek yogurt and cereal bars when I get there. Booked myself a hotel with a kitchenette so I'm covered

Manchester has some great gyms too so I'm looking forward to trying some out.

My experience so far on reta, 2 weeks in.
Not much in terms of weight loss but I'm eating the same macros kcals as before.

I'm taking it mainly to suppress my ravenous hunger, post-show, so I'm not seeing the hardcore appetite suppression others do, however I want to eat my meals still, just want to eliminate food noise, which i feel it is doing very well.

Yesterday, I got into work after being up for 3 hours and I realised "oh. I haven't had my first meal yet', wasn't hungry for it but I still ate it and didn't think much about food at all. Which is a huge improvement, considering the post-show cravings I was having.

My food is likely to go up in the coming weeks, after my holiday so I will keep at 2mg a week. Hoping however, that Reta keeps my hunger grounded when on holiday as my hotel is half board and has a lovely buffet breakfast!
It will take time to work. You can up the dose or just do ED injections both will work. @madcap71

Good training, cardio there?
 
Not sure of the log rules as I'm not currently using any of the approved sources here (do I name them or not?)
Been lurking for a while and you're all a very supportive bunch here.

Bit of background, I'm a former powerlifter, current professional wrestler/amateur bodybuilder.

Important info:
Height: 5ft 11 (and 2/3rds!!)
Weight: As of this week’s check in 93.4kg
Age: 40

Recent check in pics:

Training Split:
2 on/1 off/2 on/1 off repeat

Push
Legs (ham/glute focus)
Rest
Pull
Legs (Quad Focus)
Rest etc

Although at the moment I'm doing a few active recovery sessions in between because I'm off to Ibiza next week!!

Still wrestling, albeit not as much. I'm 3 weeks post-show (bodybuilding) with roughly 3/4 months until my next show. So in a bit of limbo, until prep starts, fighting off the post-show hunger pangs and food noise! for which I have just introduced Retatrutide (Week 2, 2mg a week, split 1mg Sunday, 1 mg Wednesday)

Diet:
Currently circa:
2900 kcals (260p, 380c, 60f) TD
2600 (250p, 300c, 60f) kcals NTD
1 off plan meal a week, which again I tend to just have a Nandos with the wife, circa 1500kcals, instead of meal 6 fitting.

Foods: Egg, Egg whites, cod, chicken, beef, salmon, whey, almond butter
jasmine rice, cream of rice, oats, banana, bagels, honey, cereal, mango, pineapple
banana, green veg, peppers, onion
Supps : Whey, Berberine, EAAs, Creatine, Non-stim (pump) pre, Pre-workout
Vits: Supportmax, Multivit, Supplement needs Lipid Pro, L-Glutamine, Greens Powder, Omega 3s, Krill Oil, P5P, Zinc & Magnesium, Ashwagandha

Current Cycle:
200mg test e, 100mg primo
2mg Retatrutide a week

Bloods are due in July, I take my blood pressure every other day, along with heart rate and blood sugar.

Here's me the morning after stepping off stage, after 6 large brownies, 2 Easter eggs, fish and chips, cake and ice cream, looking the best I've looked :ROFLMAO:

The fish and chips, I won't repeat in a hurry, greasy food does not appeal to me in the slightest anymore.

You look great man 💪 welcome into the community
 
I'm actually happy with how it is. I want to and need to eat my prepped meals and set macros, just nothing more than that haha

Weekly Check-in 25/06

Weight: 93.4kg (no change)


Really enjoying training at the moment (which is rare), feeling energised, motivated and strong. Coach is happy with the condition 3.5 weeks post-show and has given a small bump in calories for me post holiday

A couple of pics from today's check in that for some reason wouldn't upload with my post

Training hard, love this thick you have :D
 
Trained at Federation Gym, Manchester last night

Just finished off my steps for the day and did a chest, shoulders and triceps pump session

Nice, clean albeit wanky gym.
Definitely prefer Flex N Tone a lot more.

13401 steps

Had some chocolate chips in my greek yoghurt last night as a treat and ended up feeling very nauseous, which I'm putting down to the Reta. Won't be doing that again in a hurry!
