good grind
I need to go lower
Still looks good brother. Depth takes time. Don't rush it
Back looking awesome in these photos mate.
Agree but that's some serious weight! How's your mobility for deeper squats?
Thanks.
1-2 plates each side, I can sit on it ATG
3 plates to the parallel.
somewhere around 365 it is above parallel.
I think with a good spotter, I think I could do 405 to parallel. I'm just not pushing low enough, too much fear.

Get a good pair of knee sleeves. A7 hourglass rigor-mortis well worth the money.

Decent work outs as I get ready to start prep soon. We are going to have snow in the DFW area this Friday evening/Saturday. I'm pretty certain my gym will be closed on Saturday. This time of year we have cool days (30-40F) yesterday, then warmer days like today 50s. I am noticing I like warm or hot food on cold days post work out for lunch. Today being warmer, I like a toasted PB sandwich on whole grain. I will have dinner later this evening.
Still very much working the core with vacuums and ab work. Just trying to be early on the waist trimming.

Post Workout 187
Steps 18K
Busy day running errands for me today. It was nice to be back at my old gym for my Thursday workout. With the latest update it looks like the weather is Sat/Sun are going to be weather challenge days. I think I will be able to gym Saturday morning. I think Sat afternoon the sleet, ice and snow will start sticking. I have feeling everything will be shut down after Sat evening into Sunday evening.
I happen to need groceries and of course it was a mad house. Took 30 min to check out. Bare shelves where the meat, bread, water, eggs, all gone. I guess everyone is stocking up. Texas is on its own grid, back in 2020 we had a storm of the century with temps in the single digits and power went out for 3 days. Not bueno.
Starting to think about prep for this year. I am going to back to my 2025 log and pull the bulk cycle I started with in Feb. I don't think I want to do the same this year. I just want a long cut into the July Show. I think I may have time this weekend to start planning.

So, a total of 1.5 grams. I would like to be under a 1 gram this year at the onset. I felt good last year. Everything felt fresh. I feel good but not great. I am getting stronger, but I just don't want to push for the heavy weight. I want to control the weight better.
I just want to start a slower cut into my show. July 22, 2026 is the first show.

@PrinceDaddy really excited to see how you do at your show this summer. It's going to be a nice competition and something to look forward to.
Bros, hell of a job on this. I like how you lay out your steroid injections throughout the week and what you're taking that is smart. @PrinceDaddy
Good job on this. I like how you dial in your injections and what you're taking. @PrinceDaddy it's good to plan it out like that.
@PrinceDaddy Going to be exciting to see you progress into the show. Sounds like you really enjoy the lifestyle and you're going to have a lot of fun with this.
Keep up the good work on this. I've noticed that your steroids are very mild so I'm excited to see how you increase them going into the show. Not just the steroids you're taking but also the dosing. @PrinceDaddy

I'm at the gym waiting for it to open. Weather delays. Should open in 15 minutes. Staff members are putting salt and sand out for the entry. Grateful for these hard working individuals.
The cycle above was last year. I'm still in the process of constructing this year's version.
Thanks all.

My son is 21, never did ride a bike. I got my first bike when I was not yet 3, my future step dad bought it for me trying to woo my mom. I refused to ride it with training wheels and I remember his face, not knowing what to do, but my mom said just take them off so he did and I rode it up and down the hill and ripped it around the corner. No problem. They said I looked like a circus act lol.
It’s a confidence thing. Once you know you can do it you’ve got it, but if you’ve built up fear you can’t get past it. I was like that with barefoot waterskiing. I saw some friends doing it, didn’t know they were like professional level competitors. Didn’t know that was a thing. I figured I was stronger and more athletic than them (
) so they let me try it and I had one bruise from my shoulder to my knee, they were laughing uncontrollably but also very encouraging . It took me another 11 years to be able to do it well and actually start doing tricks, but one day I just got it and I could stand up smooth and start feeling it out. Your daughter just needs to feel it once and she’ll have it. Don’t be frustrated just encouraging. It will be so worth it when she feels the wind!

Got some leg work in today. Later and lighter than usual due to the weather delays. Glad to get it done. Decided to just focus on legs and skip some core warm up stuff. Mostly squats and leg machines. No leg press today. Did get some steam and sauna in.
Delayed opening tomorrow as well. So we shall see.
At present, I am doing the following
Friday
Test/Deca 400ml blend / 1cc
Monday
2mg Reta
I do want to run out of the Test/Deca Blend before I officially start my prep cycle. So it may be a little into Feb. I started Dec 1, so I should run out in 1 or 2 weeks.
I am thinking.

I am scaling back a bit and staying under a gram/weekly. In years past, I have tried to push the strength and i am just not feeling it this year.
Also, I get very watery. I can see water layer on my skin. My BP has been running a little higher lately so I'm just trying to go lighter this year.
Also, I really want to start to chase the conditioning sooner.

You’ve got this! You’re the daddy after all. When you’re teaching someone something, the trick is to find out what is holding them back and what is motivating them.
Fear of injury?
Fear of failure?
The joy of riding the bike?
The joy of accomplishment?
Overcoming the fear?
Doing it for her dad?

weather delays salt and sand, you have snow in texas?
you have a decent cycle but again i really want to see you switch to aromasin is that possible?
@PrinceDaddy man it's good to see some rapid-fire updates from you. Oh it's good to hear from you man. You are a class act.
Bros, looking really good. Testosterone, Deca, one of my favorites. You're going to get some good appetite out of that one. @PrinceDaddy
This is looking really good. I like how you're mixing in the testosterone and deca and then also adding in the retatrutide. I like the setup that you have. @PrinceDaddy also using the AI is smart

This sounds like you just wanna use up what you have vs an actual plan of X weeks etc
This sounds like you just wanna use up what you have vs an actual plan of X weeks etc
Prob 1 to 2 doses left. Should be a nice warm up as I'm just basically doubling it
@LevButlerov
I think I have some aromasin. Question for you. The other addition is HGH. I don't think the IGF or peptides that increase GH have done much for me. I would maybe like to try tesamorelin?
For HGH, I would like to bump the dose, I have done 2iu ED. I am thinking 5-6 IU ED if I can get acquire some HGH kits.
Gym does not open till noon today due to weather. Yes Snow and ICE in DFW.
I have abotu 3 hours to kill. Going to pre-cook my weekly ground beef 93/7.

@PrinceDaddy I like the plan going forward! Looks like it will be a good one
@PrinceDaddy that’s a good decision on your part to scale back brother.
@PrinceDaddy is the weather really bad over there? Aren't you liking North Texas? I didn't think it got that bad even this time of year.
2 to 3 inches of ice and snow. All the loyal peeps still showing up...
Attachments
Looking really good on this, Prince. We got a lot of confidence in you. I think you're going to do a great job. @PrinceDaddy
2-3 inches of snow is nothing for people up north! but when you aren't used to it then it is a BIG DEAL.
snow tires are needed

You don't feel anything from hgh? overall how long were you using it for? I see you say 2 IUs but 5-6 might be hard on your digestion and distention @PrinceDaddy
tesamorelin might be a good add
I've felt decent on HGH. It just the other items that are supposed to stimulate more HGH like IGF-LR3. They did not do too much for me.
Feels like healing and sleep would be improved with HGH. Not sure how much growth I would get with the proposed cycle?

Weight is more skewed today since I had to wait till noon to go to the gym due to weather. Gym was packed. Tomorrow will be the same. Noon opening. I get to sleep in. Trying to stay light on the stomach and not eat too much. A banana and Greek yogurt. No outdoor walking likely this week as it supposed to in the teens the next two days. Trying to make the most of it but it is annoying having to schedule around the weather. I think it may be Wednesday before we normalize.

I think feeling and looking a bit different would you agree?
we should look at the whole physique and see what we need to do to make you win this year, would you agree on this?
besides just hgh talk
gym packed, can you go AM earlier? like 6
Loving the plan you have set up for yourself. How many weeks are you giving yourself for conditioning for a July comp brother?
Weather delays so late gym opening.
@Kopite67
I am thinking once i get to mid March, just going to chisel to the desired weight.
If I start March 22, it would be 16 weeks. Let's say I shoot for 1.5 lbs week
I am waking upa round 190, that would put me at 166 that week.

Gym opened at 12 noon today. It is surprising to see how crowded it gets. People simply do not want to be locked in. Hoping they open a little earlier tomorrow. No email on hours as of yet. We should be back to normal by Wednesday. No outdoor walking as it is in the teens in the morning hours, also just sheets of ice.
I got a very good work out in today. Seems all the people just amp up the motivation level. I have not loaded 4 plates each side on the plate loaded row, but I did today and it felt pretty good.
Tomorrow is legs.

Good to get back to the normal schedule. Weather impacts are behind us. Training has been good. Walking is back, being careful on unmelted ice but most of it is gone today.
I finished off my Test/Deca 400 blend. So next week my cycle officially begins. I have a vial of deca 300 and test 200. I am planning on pinning 1cc of each every Tuesday/Friday. Wed/Sat for the AI.
Time to get going.

Since it is 300mg Deca and 200mg Test, just easier on the draw. Was planning on 200/200. Rather be consistent with the measurement.
I have usually matched the test or been under the test when running deca so it I will see how it feels. I have EQ and Mast but I want to save that for the conditioning later in May.

you consider swapping out the arimidex for aromasin? @PrinceDaddy
@PrinceDaddy good set up and good update on this. I like that you're doing regular updates. It's good to hear your posts.
Bros, glad the weather didn't affect you too much. It was crazy. You should take pictures of the snow. @PrinceDaddy
Let's fkin go!!!
Excellent job on the training. @PrinceDaddy keep up the good work man. It's really good to see. I like the testosterone and deca blend; that's a good one.
@PrinceDaddy nice job man. Thursday and Friday workouts, going into the weekend now, you can chill a little bit, maybe take a day off.
That's a really good idea. You should definitely try that, Prince. I think you'll get some good mobility from it. @PrinceDaddy
Yes may do. Have both.

Kiddo is back at her college in Ohio. Good leg workout today.
Thoughts on a slow rep sets vs fast rep sets. So imaging you are squatting 225. You do a set of 10 where every rep takes about 5-6 seconds, then you do a set of 10 where its 1 second a rep. I have always thought one works the slow twitch the other fast twitch. You have both, but you may be more dominant in one than the other. For overall growth, maybe try to work out both? Thoughts?
All my fat is on the belly and obliques. I have that turtle belly shape. I'm anxious to see how tight I can get it. The hair grooming will start sometime in March. I might as well stay insulated while it is cold.
Cycle starts this week on Tuesday. I do have aromasin in limited quantities, I will use it for the AI this time around.

I hadn't actually thought about this as a concept. Now I am intrigued. I will do this with my incline flys today and report on how it feels.
Quality as usual brotherAll my fat is on the belly and obliques. I have that turtle belly shape. I'm anxious to see how tight I can get it. The hair grooming will start sometime in March. I might as well stay insulated while it is cold.

Looking good mate! Back looks awesome!
I've read plenty over the years about pushing explosively to try and recruit more fast twitch muscle fibres. They generally apply it to the concentric part of the lift right. Usually works best with heavier loads as well, where you're trying t0 push explosively but the heavy load means the weight isn't moving that quick.
It seems to be one of those things that comes and goes though. If it was so effective then wouldn't everyone be doing it by now? You can always do it for one particular lift. Eg say bench press for chest. Use heavier loads and push explosively. Then on the other exercises focus on traditional bodybuilding with slow eccentrics.
Looking good sir! I hope I look this good in 20 years
Personally I always like slow because you can really focus on the mid muscle connection and maintaining good form for most movements.
Squats I kinda land in the middle. Slowish eccentric but explode outta the hole.
Your thoughts are pretty interesting though. I'd never really considered doing squats very slow throughout the movement. I feel like it might be too taxing on the cardio to do it slow for 10 reps for me personally.
Alot of the time if your holding fluff in the belly and obs, it is water man, may not be as much fat as you think
Actually planning on using my Aromasin by itself.

February is here. I start my on cycle on Tuesday. Excited to see what this year offers. Sunday I try to do my strongest ab workout of the week.
If you have seen my previous logs, I do dragon planks. I jump up to the pull up bar and do leg lifts. Windshield wipers. Typically this time of year I am too heavy to execute. I'm executing, not the rep count I usually do when leaner, but still pretty respectable.
My biggest goal is to try to reduce the waist as much possible. Not wearing waist trainer yet, but will implement after I get consistently under 180.
Excited to see everyone's transformations 2026. Motivation for all of us!

I am working around my left shoulder, my back seems to be getting stronger. I would say I don't feel weak, but I am favoring my movement on the left side. I did do 4 plates each side on the plate loaded row machine again.
So I started looking for the aromasin. I found the Geneza exemestane 25mg. I only have 6 pills left, so looks like 6 weeks. I may start it next week. I had to look up the generic name vs the brand name. A little confusing sometimes.

My first dose of the Spring cycle is in my glute. 200mg Test Cyp / 300mg Deca. Prob won't feel much of an impact till late next week.
Next dose this Friday, so basically doubling the cruise I have been doing since Dec 1. Weight is coming down, I would like to see it continue.
I finished the active reta vial on Monday with a half dose and will re-consitute for next Monday.
@LevButlerov I have 2 vials of Reta and 2 vials of Tirzs. I have never used Tirz. I am thinking I will run the one vial of Reta till it runs out. Then switch to Tirz. After finishing the Tirz, stick to the one I like best. I will use fasting, clen, slu-pp332, aod-9064, mots-c starting in April. I am not going to use T3 or T4 this year. I don't think it is necessary anymore.
I have to bloodwork. I have already started. I am thinking I will run blood work sometime in early March.
