Approved Log A Bodybuilding comeback Journey

[LevButlerov]

Thanks so much brother, most all the cycle design and weight regimen was advised by you I’m just following the game plan coach and I’d have to say it is working remarkably well for me, thank you so much brother
I had blood done last month for a follow up and everything in the green , except cholesterol and blood pressure so they put me on Evolocumab and Prazosin for cholesterol and Telmesartan for blood pressure … and my next follow up appointment for bloodwork with my primary care doctor has been scheduled for February 20, 2026

That's good to hear, love your training!
i was thinking we can do private bloods in december? @LeNguyen

What was your blood pressure and cholesterol reading?

It's good you're getting your BP under control cuz that could be risky for someone who works as hard as you do.

Hey! Good to see you updating. I always am wondering how you’re holding up because I can’t keep up with training at all right now . But I see you clearly can! Those traps are crazy bro

Thanks brother, been so busy with work, 16-18 hour days 6-7 days a week, I’m lucky I have a home gym, I pull into the garage take off the work gear go straight to the weights for an hour then wife has food ready, eat shower and then pass out

I tell myself I’m going to do that but most of the time I’m really just smoked. Last leg day I did I had to pull all day the next day by hand and it really hurt my recovery. Total waste.

I know… it’s so hard when your fried before and after work… I don’t even go into the house, found if I do I’ll most likely skip the training… so when I pull into the garage I just go and sit on my chair I have next to the weights for 20 minutes sometimes just to syke myself up

That’s so awesome that you can make it all work man. Keep updating when you can. I’ve worked alongside power crews many times. The hours that you regularly put in are bananas! I do some crazy hours too but not all the freaking time like that. That’s why I didn’t do it. I had the fast track in and I said no. I like to do it in spurts and then kick back and recover and try to keep my home life together. I can’t keep a woman to save my life so my home life falls apart fast

Yeah it’s definitely tough, but I’m sacrificing for a few years maybe 5 if I can keep up the pace, so I can retire early, don’t want to be old retiring want to be relatively young so I can have better quality life when I do retire, wife and i want to buy a house in Vietnam maybe travel back and forth every 6 months to the states…

I have thought of that too. Very enticing. I hope you do it! I’d love to see it!

The way I’m doing line work is a huuuuge gamble. Like every week. I’m going to need a really good run of luck to make it out of the casino but if I do it’s going to be worth it

Thanks brother, life’s good… still bulking at the moment, keeping steady weight gains, I believe I’m back to pre surgery size, can’t really tell at the moment, I’m holding on to a little fluff and water nothing to bad… probably around middle of January I’ll cut the Deca just run Sustanon and EQ with a little Tren… for my Recomp/Cut cycle…

Still going crazy with work? Looks like you've been responding really well to your cycle even with the crazy schedule

 

[LeNguyen]

thanks brother, yeah works really going strong right now, barely able to survive the overtime. At least I have time to train, been hitting it hard an hour each day 4-5 days a week after work currently I’m
Still bulking but I’ll be shedding off all the fluff and water in about another month when I enter my Recomp/Cut phase to see how much tissue I actually accumulated.

Man, I’m so happy to be back… it sucks being natty

This time stay here, but don't stay natty LOL

10 more pounds and your back to pre-accident size I love it. My entire 2025 log is a comeback from an injury so now 2026 is all just GAINZ, let's do it!

Wasn’t an accident, I had emergency gall bladder surgery while on the road long haul trucking, check out my very first log, the event is detailed in it … should be dated around June/july 2024.

You're looking great bro. This bulk has been really really successful for you. Amazing you've been able to manage such great results while working so much. You must be eating like crazy!

Thanks brother… yes , eating 5-6 meals a day 4 solid whole foods meals and two protein shake meals with a protein snack and a clean carb source with it… I’m hovering a little above 93kilos 205-207lbs but I’d like to get a little closer to 210 without gaining any more fluff before I start to shed off the fat and water wieght…

Hey Le! Just came across your log mate and am keen to follow. What a road this year with the liver issues. How is your bodybuilding journey going? Do you have a time-frame in mind for your first show?

Physique looks great, and food is pretty good!

2024 My Gall Bladder dies and causes all other organs to become severely distressed, starting with my pancreas, organs beginning to shut down… heart was going into cardiac arrest, was given nitroglycerin twice that morning to keep me alive.

Yeah see this is scary stuff. Man it lights a fire in my soul to see blokes like yourself come out of the other end of journeys like this hungrier than ever.

From the ashes son. Keep killing it.

Thanks so much brother! No, no time frame for anything yet… just wanted to see if I could get back to my pre-surgery size, and bulk up a little more… I believe I’m close to where I need to lean out to see what I have at the moment… perhaps 4 more weeks and go into cut phase…

Strong brother!!

No just bloated and painful for nearly a year

Happy you didn't have the bag from your gallbladder fucking with you like that. I wonder if the bag draining all that bloat for you would have helped? I had to drain my Dad's bag for months after his surgery and once full bring it in it looked like caramel syrup LOL

Thanks brother, yeah I’m trying to cut rest time between sets to keep joints happy by not going up in weights too fast, trying to find other ways to stimulate muscle hypertrophy before adding more.
That’s new to me, never heard of a bag after gall bladder removal?
Man I bet your dad hated that!
Guess I was lucky doctor never mentioned it to me…
