10th January log update

Weight and BP
Weight 108.7, happy with a small drop.
BP 109/58 and HR 53 bpm. Much better.


Training
No training today, but below is WHY I still lift, train and push 41 years after I first picked up a barbell.
I came across this article by Dave Tate years ago and it was like it explained me. I hope you like it, I love it:
Y
The Void
When I was a kid, the gym was the place I could go to get away from feeling like I was worthless and a failure. I could be in charge and decide whether I succeeded.
It was my place to build and grow, mentally and physically. Much like other young kids who come from similar situations, I built walls around me. My walls were built of cast iron and steel.
It was also something I was good at. And as I grew and got bigger and stronger, the abuse went away very fast. I went from the kid that got "fucked with" to the kid you "don't want to fuck with." And I still see training that way today. The reason for this – and the strong guys reading will be able to relate – is there's something that happens during those very intense sets. It doesn't matter if it's a PR set, a Max Effort set, a strip set, or a high-rep set, as long as it's one that you know going in will be a challenge. You know you need to find a way to up your game, step out of yourself, focus, and see what you're really made of. Cause once the bar is loaded and your set comes around, you find this place that I really can't explain. From the time you approach the bar to the time the set is over, there's nothing.
The fight you had with your girlfriend that day?
Gone.
Your finals?
Gone.
Your work issues?
Gone.
Your bills?
Gone.
The asshole across the gym?
Gone.
The bullies?
Gone.
The hurt?
Gone.
The mental pain is now replaced with physical pain, but this is pain that you crave, because the load you've been carrying all your life in now resting on your back – and you have the power to smash it.
I call this 'nothing' The Void, but it isn't really nothing – it's everything!
When I look back over 30 years of training, my big take away is that training is my therapy. This is why I do what I do, both the positives and even the stupid shit. This is why I'm so passionate about passing on what I know. The Void is the only time that I am truly free – free from the bullshit that other people and life has thrown at me. It's all gone, just me and the weight. And that's where I find my peace. The Void has changed my life, and has become my life. Maybe it could change yours? So to answer the question, I don't give a rat's ass if I get stronger or bigger. Well, I still care, but it's not why I do it. Training is my therapy.

I love the gym and training mate, if I have had the worst day, even if I dont want to go once I have gone and smashed out a session - even cardio, I just feel so much better and every problem is gone. Love it.

Appreciate the self reflection in this update. The gym is all about embracing discomfort, in a world where we’ve all but engineered discomfort out of our lives. It’s my belief that modern ease hinders our potential, but via this lifestyle we can reverse some of that.

Thanks brother. Iron therapy is my saving grace. Without it I'm not really sure how I would cope as I have been doing it for so long. I do know when I was not allowed to train at all for a couple of months it was very difficult mentally. Was very happy to be able to get back into it.

That message hit hard and for good reason.
Growth is born in distress, in pain, in discomfort. There is no progress in choosing what’s easy, convenient, or comfortable.
Comfort keeps people exactly where they are wishing for change but never demanding it of themselves.
What you described in those moments under the bar is the truth most people never reach.

That “Void” isn’t escape it’s confrontation. The weight doesn’t lie, and neither do you when you’re under it. In that space, excuses don’t survive. You harden the fuck up and meet the demand or you don’t and that choice, repeated over time, is what separates those who stay the same from those who earn something more.

That’s why we chase those sets. Not for numbers or ego but because in that discomfort, in that brief brutal clarity, we become exactly who we’re capable of being.
Everything fades.
Only intention remains.

Of all the things that i passed through my day, your post has hit the hardest. This is King mentality and im all fucking for it brother.
Stay fucking gold

Training

Incline Bench 5x 45,55,60,65,70,75kg
**Nice and steady this. Making sure my stability and especially my tendons are eased into this. They got weak fast while I was away and still shift around a little.

Decline Flys 3x 12x15
**New addition for the same reason as inclines are slowly increased. Really concentrate on slowing the descent in a controlled manner. Again was shifting around a bit.

**so stole this approach to logging from @Allupfromhere because I think its a great idea. Makes me think more about what I am doing and also why.

Note: Ret is really kicking in now. Could not finish Meal 3 and have no interest in food in-between the meals.

Overall Health and Well-being
Looking forward to progressing a bit further with my training this week. I am going to start to increase the volume a little. I want to make these additions are worthwhile and not just a movement to increase the amount of sets and reps. Posterior chain movements such as GHR and RDLs will be added for sure and a couple of others like decline flys today. Will look at my program and make more decisions as I go.
As many other logs on Evo have said, it's a slow process not a race. I know where I want to be in mid to late 2027 and rushing the process and getting injured, especially as I get older, will slow things dramatically. Age is just a number, but some of the other numbers, such as miles on the joints, need to be considered in what I do.
Great day overall though. Much Love Evo Fam .

Overall Health and Well-being
Looking forward to progressing a bit further with my training this week. I am going to start to increase the volume a little. I want to make these additions are worthwhile and not just a movement to increase the amount of sets and reps. Posterior chain movements such as GHR and RDLs will be added for sure and a couple of others like decline flys today. Will look at my program and make more decisions as I go.
As many other logs on Evo have said, it's a slow process not a race. I know where I want to be in mid to late 2027 and rushing the process and getting injured, especially as I get older, will slow things dramatically. Age is just a number, but some of the other numbers, such as miles on the joints, need to be considered in what I do.
Great day overall though. Much Love Evo Fam .

You need to import some Vegemite bro @LevButlerov

@Kopite67
Love your log lay out. BP is good!
I like your trt protocol of 75mg every 3 days.

Pinning daily gets old for me on cycle so good to get some relief when on TRT. I think I may copy this 75mg every 3 days seems like a good amount to hold tissue between cycles

Nice workout mate. Serious sets of bench and incline there.

Nice update brother - lots of sets on bench.
How long have you been on Reta? I find it nearly instant it kicks in

Thanks. On the Ret, just over a week brother. Each time it kicks in fast which is why I only stay on it for about 6 weeks the previous couple of times. I will wait and see where this particular cycle takes me

 

[Kopite67]

As soon as I noted them in your log I thought what a brilliant idea, must steal that . Love me some Vegemite.

Thanks brother. I will try and educate @leveventually on the benefits of vegemite in the diet .
I will admit that the uniformity of every 3 days keeps my OCD tendencies nicely in check and seems to alleviate any peaks and troughs.

First off brother this is one of my favourite logs right now. So well put together and picturesque as all hell too!

For the Reta, this shit really shines in long runs... all the data points to 24+ weeks. Did you think about trying lower dose over longer time?

I know where I want to be in mid to late 2027 and rushing the process and getting injured, especially as I get older, will slow things dramatically.

I love this sentence contained in your awesome detailed log update. Thinking long term and way ahead is the way to end up feeling and looking the way you want to. Great attitude about all of this brother!

Thanks brother I really appreciate the kind words. No I actually haven't, but I should. I will let my weight drop a bit more and allow myself to get leaner then I will do that for sure. What do you think .75ml every 3 days?
Whilst I try to keep to this, I struggle now and then with an ego rush. My next write up is a perfect example of that . Didn't do damage but almost totally jumped out of the sensible box.

An Australian spread that is literally like crack to the natives who like it . It's an acquired to taste to the rest of the world though

I have been struggling a little with sleep lately and I need to look at improving this. Unfortunately the majority of my working life has been at full tilt with long days and weeks and now that I am in a much more sedate job I am still revving the engine a little hard. This is channelling into my gym training now that I am near 100% (well as far as I'm concerned I am, might be a couple of differing opinions elsewhere )
Anyway, impatience got the better of my thinking today and the Blockpulls were quite a jump. Probably shouldn't have done it but there is only so much "not pushing" things I can deal with.
Did stop before I did anything remarkably stupid, however, I am sure I will be a bit sore tomorrow. I will smile a little when I look back at why though.
Great day though. Much Love Evo Fam .

**Nice and steady this. Was a bit gassed from the blockpulls so happy with the volume here.

Great work and this is strong. Not sure if I've seen you go this hard before. 50 reps and ending with a 10-rep set of heavy, nice. Do you know your PB on your blockpull lift?

I will be a bit sore tomorrow

The best kind of sore though!

Thanks @HarleyGuy . Best I ever did was 270kg about 8 years ago. I should have gone much further but you know....life . I intend to blow right past that hopefully by the end of this year. Bit stiff this morning but feel good brother.

This is channelling into my gym training now that I am near 100% (well as far as I'm concerned I am, might be a couple of differing opinions elsewhere )
Anyway, impatience got the better of my thinking today and the Blockpulls were quite a jump. Probably shouldn't have done it but there is only so much "not pushing" things I can deal with.
Did stop before I did anything remarkably stupid, however, I am sure I will be a bit sore tomorrow. I will smile a little when I look back at why though.
Great day though. Much Love Evo Fam .

Thanks @HarleyGuy . Best I ever did was 270kg about 8 years ago. I should have gone much further but you know....life . I intend to blow right past that hopefully by the end of this year. Bit stiff this morning but feel good brother.

Let's shoot for 270kg brother! Slow and steady, it's January so by December let's do it!

Yeahh brother solid lift to get things rolling again. Bigger number in bound quicker then you nay think.

Your locked in right now i can tell. Not just in your own low but how nuch support you showing on the logs of other memebers also.

That tell me you tracking tight on your own path and so dialled in mentally that you continue to surround yourself with other journeys as they are reletive to the direction your facing... self progress

On that steak though... looking a little grey and sad brother haha.. how was it cooked?

Much love as always King

Thanks once again brother for the Evo love. I am now daily getting my mind into sync with where I want to head. The body is now playing nice, so as long as I keep a close eye on that, hopefully Gold as the year progresses.
The other logs are very inspiring and I love reading them and following the progress. Whilst the guys are insightful and possess an unbelievable wealth of knowledge and inspiration, I was totally surprised with how much our strong sisters are inspiring. @Alice_In_Ironland @Sheshredz @Jigglybuff @ifbbpromusclegirl and all of the other strong sisters are doing things their way, are totally unapologetic (as they should be) and are totally focused on their goals. This gives me the drive and focus needed to challenge myself.

It is just pre-packaged slices brother. Quick and easy fix. Shopping day is tomorrow and I promise a far more appetising form of steak will soon be present.

 

[LevButlerov]

Thanks brother. Love the birds we get around the place. Heavenly salt @LevButlerov , heavenly salt

you live in a really nice place

14th January log update

Weight and BP
Weight 108.2, steady today.
BP 114/59 and HR 55 bpm. I am actually slightly ecstatic about this today. Yesterday efforts in the gym could have been detrimental if I wasn't recovered enough. It appears I am, but really I took a punt and wasn't found wanting. Phew

PEDs
TRT- Test E 75mg every 3 days. Currently using UGLOZ Platinum Test E. Pinned today
Retatrutide 1mg every 3 days.

Considering moving my cycle up to the start of Feb since things are going so smoothly and I have no complications at all.
As a starting dosage this would entail:
150mg of Sustanon every 3 days.
80mg Deca every 3 days
25mg Proviron ED
1ml Ret every 3 days, reduced to twice a week once I believe I have hit my target leanness.

I will be changing from Test E currently as I think Sustanon is more beneficial to me in the doses I use. Will also be seamless moving back to a TRT dose.

Training
No training today and quite honestly happy about that.
I trained 5 days a week for decades and could not pull myself out of this mindset. I even went to 6 days at one point, which was even worse, as never recovered from session to the next.
After having my enforced break last year, I shifted, finally, to a calculated 4 day a week program.
Simply put, if I train at the level I want to (because its what I love to do), I need to have a break after a couple of days to allow my slightly ageing body to recover so I can go again.
So far I am very happy with this. Of course the trick is to remember why I did this in the first place and keep doing it after a few more months .

Meals

A fabulous Evo day today. Every log, every post, every comment seemed to speak volumes to me. I really felt a fire get lit today and my goals and my focus seemed to crystallise with more clarity.
Such is the way with the Evo Fam. I am blessed to have found this community and the wonderful people who are a part of it.
Tomorrow I will start on getting my box squats up in weight and down in depth. Has always been the weakest point of my lifting and its about time I did something more positive than just wishing it was better.
Great day. Much Love Evo Fam .

Squats were really strong today and if my lower back wasn't a little twingy I would have gone up 10-20kg. Next time I will push this a bit more.
Overall mood today was a bit meh quite honestly. Just one of those days. A good night's sleep is required I think. To make me feel better I have a few pics today.

Oh you don't really want @LevButlerov . Unbelievably territorial birds that nest in the most inappropriate places they can find. They like in of the door to my shed, the edge of a golf hole, middle of highway verges. Then will swoop relentlessly until you are at least 50m away from the nest area.

3 Reps per set, 3 at 20 then 40 then 60 and so on. As I am easing back in the jumps are small at present. The jumps increase as the weight goes up. Usually 9 sets in total for box squats, or 10 if things are going really well. Same with most of my program.

Bok choy sausages, that sounds like an interesting mix. @Kopite67 and then bagel and ham slices. I would try and eat more clean, more whole food options. Seems like it's a little too much processed stuff.

Yes that is true, and I have no real excuse for not eating more whole foods apart from laziness in that regard. Like all people I have a lack of time to do things during the week due to the usual pressures. Bt I have to say at 58 years I have precisely zero patience to stand in a fucking kitchen for hours cooking with the precious little down-time I actually have. So processed food it is now and then .

Deload sounds smart based on knee and overall low energy.

Deload sounds smart based on knee and overall low energy.

Thanks brother. I have always trained Calves for some reason and maybe it is something I don't really need now. Seriously thanks for querying that. I really need to channel more energy into my posterior chain and that should be the trade off I think.
Oh I need a crap meal every now and then to feel alive. That's also why I deliberately headed in the powerlifting direction over body building. I could never be disciplined enough to do the strict dieting like a number of my friends do. It would kill me.
The knee issues are long standing and I must have just twisted wrong somewhere and it blew up a bit. Tiredness as well is just my aging body telling me to slow down for a second.
This time I actually did listen.

Nice update brother, I love how in tune you are with your body, you also have a very clean diet - agree though more protein needed for a bloke your size!

 

[waggat]

Thanks brother. I have always trained Calves for some reason and maybe it is something I don't really need now. Seriously thanks for querying that. I really need to channel more energy into my posterior chain and that should be the trade off I think.
Oh I need a crap meal every now and then to feel alive. That's also why I deliberately headed in the powerlifting direction over body building. I could never be disciplined enough to do the strict dieting like a number of my friends do. It would kill me.

This time I actually did listen.

All good mate, was sort of joking re the calves. I think it depends on why you're doing them. If it's for fun / to build them then that's all good. I've always loved training calves myself. I had such skinny legs and always figured calves mattered a lot as you see them with shorts on. That and reading about Arnold hammering his really inspired me. Was doing them 4 times a week at one stage.

 

[Kopite67]

@Kopite67 that's a cute looking bird man. I don't know why you hate it so much. I like that he has a yellow head. That's kind of cute.

I hate them because they vicious, noisy and belligerent MF. Other than that sure, they are great

 

[Kopite67]

108 kgs? I would have never guessed that. You are an absolute beast and your blood pressure and resting heart rate are fantastic. That is very impressive. @Kopite67

Thanks brother for the kind words. I haven't taken a picture and posted since about August last year. I took one a couple of weeks ago to show a Ret comparison with one I will take in a few weeks. I am definitely a bit fluffy at present.
I am very happy with BP and resting HR though, thanks again.

 

[Kopite67]

Nice update brother, I love how in tune you are with your body, you also have a very clean diet - agree though more protein needed for a bloke your size!

Thanks brother. Yeah, working on the Protein increase. Had this discussion with the missus just this morning about what we need to get at shopping today .

Seriously brother, just re-wrote my program for the next block, and calves are taking a back-seat to other stuff now. Yeah bloody Arnold was my reason as well

A plover - nasty bastards. Always nest in the worst spot then attack you if you go near them.

@Kopite67 Cut the junk food and that weight will be coming down!

Yes that is true, and I have no real excuse for not eating more whole foods apart from laziness in that regard. Like all people I have a lack of time to do things during the week due to the usual pressures. Bt I have to say at 58 years I have precisely zero patience to stand in a fucking kitchen for hours cooking with the precious little down-time I actually have. So processed food it is now and then .

Food prep is very important. Gotta do it.

I hate them because they vicious, noisy and belligerent MF. Other than that sure, they are great

Do you have them as pets or are they just wild?
