Gym closed but garage open
@madcap71 big prep I think this will be an amazing log, as you look really good already
wow you will shred down big on reta. let us know how it goes on that. that is a big dose, i like 2mgs a week only @madcap71
No stopping him!
bros dayum you gonna be a beast on this stack. @madcap71 want to see you push it hardcore. primo and proviron so on point
Very excited to see how you make out with this type of Stack. the SLU is something i see a lot of guys using now. Can't wait to see how you like it. @madcap71
I used it on my last prep and I think that was the game changer. Don't get me wrong, prep still sucked however, I ate 1000kcals more on that prep than the one proper, had a lot more high days, cut cardio out earlier but still came in fuller and leaner
bro why no tren? you need it to grow and man up. i want to see it added. @madcap71
Tren will likely be added towards the end of the prep, no need for me to use it currently, being 12 weeks out
bro okay that make me happy
what specificallly did you notice? increase hunger? more energy?
the test, mast, primo and proviron are all good together. that is a nice stack @madcap71 very expensive too
i look forward to seeing how you make out with this cycle. you seem to really know when to turn it up. got a lot of love for this @madcap71

good things costOh don't I know it

You look huge in the pics, fullness and shape really stand out after the show rebound. Chest press and dips both moving heavy already, that’s a strong start back on your stack.
Nice to see the new run beginning clean, 6 mg retatrutide with 2 IU GH and the peptides is a big one.
how do you feel on 6mgs reta?
No negative sides, good appetite suppression. I do plan to bring that down, to maybe around 3mgYou look huge in the pics, fullness and shape really stand out after the show rebound. Chest press and dips both moving heavy already, that’s a strong start back on your stack.

Great pic and top steps numbers
Helluva pic brother! Looking full and still shredded
whats the current bodyweight?
@madcap71 this is another excellent workout session. Physique is looking absolutely optimal. Arms and chest are huge. Keep it up.
Yesterday morning I had rebounded to 94kg, water weight, glycogen and food volume from the off plan eating. This has settled a bit to 91.9kg this morning. I was very pumped yesterdayHelluva pic brother! Looking full and still shredded
Yeah. It's amazing how the body can play tricks on you. All this stuff with the water weight and the glycogen, it's just the way the body was designed. Being able to manipulate it is a skill. @madcap71
bros you look like a stud @madcap71 you make everyone in the gym look small and tiny! That's always a good sign.
@madcap71 the vascularity looks insane! keep staying healthy. your on a roll and looking better then ever!
Very solid physique champ. You've got the best look of anybody in your gym by far. I can tell by the background how skinny the other dudes are. @madcap71
@madcap71 awesome pull work! Looking jacked!

Bro crazy to see your size in a photo that i can compare somthing next to you. Like the plates or the bessa blocks.
I think i wanna go to an actual show to see competitors in person and get a proper gauge on size.
On stage next to other competitors its hard to see how big some fellas are then when you see them next to an average guy or somthing you can compare to you realise how big they actually are haha your an animal bro
I'm actually trying to have a measured cruise and get bloods to a good place for the next 8 weeks, then a strength focused mass gain. In the past I have ballooned up in weight, 20lbs in the space of 2 weeks, which wasn't fun or pretty, so doing my best to avoid that now. I'm only about 3 or 4 lbs up from my pre-stage weight currently

Go slow add more protein and carbs and you'll build out and refill, you can go very anabolic post show and build a lot of mass if you add high protein and high carbs @madcap71

@madcap71 nice job man. i can't wait to have you on the podcast. its going to be a great show getting some tips/tricks for you to share!
bros you looking like a champion if you ask me. you can see your calves are looking huge in the pic! very nice work ! @madcap71
One thing about your physique that is impressive is your sheer size. Definitely not something that can be achieved without excellent genetics. @madcap71 But also your hard work is very important.
@madcap71 amazing job on this. Seems like you're getting bigger and better. You've got amazing pumps when you train. Your veins are popping nicely.

You left your coach? good call @madcap71 EVO family has your back on this lets do it
you look amazing today!
Yeah, I don't need lifestyle coaching, it's a waste of money. I know enough now about nutrition, training, PEDs to go it alone. For accountability, I have pictures and the EVO family.You left your coach? good call @madcap71 EVO family has your back on this lets do it
I've been with my coach nearly 5 years, so telling him I won't be renewing my subs felt like a breakup but it had to happen.
I have a great relationship with my coach and I'm eternally grateful for what we have achieved together, but I don't think he's taking me leaving well.
The ultimate goal is to start a family and I don't think I need to pay a bodybuilder £100 a month to achieve that.
It can be difficult/awkward parting ways with someone you have been working with on a personal journey for so long. But you are right, your direction is changing and he isnt a coach for that pathway you navigating now..
Moving your attention to starting a family with your wife and putting competing on the back burner i feel you have made a well thought out choice. You clearly know eveything you need to to keep yourself going at this stage and a good coach should understand your decision. Wishing you the very best on the family front first and foremost and keen to see you steer your own ship and what you can achieve riding solo brother
As you mentioned you will always have the support and the accountability from the evo crew

You made the right call stepping away if you’ve learned enough and have EVO family for accountability. 5 years is a long run and you clearly absorbed the key parts. @madcap71
It’s normal for a coach to take it personally, but your focus on health and starting a family makes sense, stay steady on your plan and bloodwork. EVO family loves and supports you our brother!
@madcap71 looking jacked bro solid push day!

Good push session, machine presses and cable triceps work both strong with clean control.
Arms look big, vascular, and ripped in the pics, shoulders full and round from the delt focus work. @madcap71
@madcap71 looking really vascular brother. Keep it up.
You're a Brit like me. We can and DO show out faces ha ha.Realised no one is showing their face in their logs and I can't edit...great startI feel like a right boomer
Only just seeing this now. Fkin awesome dude! I did link to it in one of my logs
Probably meant what. Many, but NOT all, logs are competition or target specific. You'll know my main ones (inc UKM) are not. Yours doesn't have to be either.
That said, as it helps the forum and members thinking of competing etc searches, if you compete again in future feel free to keep this one going but copy and paste (plus add to if you want) a comp one too. They are very popular - more so than the main ones. Probably cos there's a start and an end in which people can see progress.
Thanks dude.mobster is a good man. i've taught him half the stuff he knows lol
Now I'm jealous. One of the best gyms in the UK and a LOT of Hammer kit.
Most homes in the UK, eps the kind Madcap lives in, don't have the land.
you are my best student
Definitely not in London
I'm very lucky to have a garage!
Incredible place, definitely have to make my way back there!

Maybe I like the fuller look and 'off season' look better but I like this look on you even more than at your show. You look freaky bro!
How are you finding the results are from this so far? It's supposed to 'exercise in a bottle' as they say.
Now this is some Mike Mentzer Heavy Duty shit, I love it!
SLU had some good synergy with retatrutide on prep. The combo of both kept me energised, well fed and not hungry. When I moved over to the oral version, I got up to 4mg a day at my highest. AM, midday, pre-workout, before bed. It's great stuff

We will be working on SLU mega thread but I have mots C in the works now.
That's another one I'm looking into as well. Trying to decide which one is best for the basal metabolic rate and increasing it because I will never fuck with Clen, DHP, or any uncoupling agent or any beta-2 receptor agonist.
@madcap71 Any preference in injectable vs. oral?
