No major adjustment to food or PEDs/ supplements to occur until after my planned pathology next week.
RECOVERY
Feeling much fresher this week following last week’s additional rest day + nil cardio.
My walking heart rate has improved over the past five days. Another marker of improved recovery.
Still no period post-AAS use. Updated pathology to be completed over the next week which should provide insight.
Soft tissue work planned for tomorrow too - I like having my hip flexors dry-needled every 4-6 weeks
TRAINING
DAY ONE (lower body)
(12G)
My programming has not changed since the removal of AAS. Continuing to achieve improvements in these circumstances is tough - I’m truely giving it my all.
- Glute Drive Machine: 2 sets at 115kg x12 + 2 second hold at the top of each rep (
2.5kg/ set) + (1) 80kg x10 for 1+1/4 reps (unchanged)
- DB BSS (contralateral hold): 45kg for 2 sets 15, 12 reps (
down 3 reps for set 2) - a veteran trainer at my gym kindly helped to tweak my set-up for these today. My previous set-up was GOOD, but I can get more for less with this adjustment. We lowered the ATX bar 1 notch for these rear leg, and added a 20kg plate under the front foot. I can get MAXIMUM hip flexion & keen flexion during the eccentric part of the exercise, with increased forward lean through the torso = more glutes. Even with more challenging set-up, I’m still moving the same load which is a win!
- DB RDL: 40kg DBs (80kg) for 2 sets of 15 (unchanged)
- Abduction machine: 95kg, 91kg for 2 sets of 15 (
4kg set 1)
- Glute Reverse Hyperextension: (2) 41.25kg for 15, 14 (
1 rep/ set)
- Glute Kickback Machine: level 16 (1), level 16 (2) for 15 reps/ set (
‘1 level’ for set 2)
But not all progress comes from adding load/ reps. Sometimes you can adjust technique, range, and tempo to get more stimulus to the target muscle from the same load & rep range. I like taking this approach to my training when AAS is out, as well as during deficit phases: stay curious & eager to improve.
I am a believer that you should strive to leave people in a better place than where you first found them. The universe has a way of reciprocating the energy you put out there: I am a better person from the support I receive from the community at my gym, and the EVO community.

They are squat shoesGreat update as usual. Love the pic, they look like specialist lifting shoes, are they?![]()
Thank youI'm a believer. You are definitely legit. @Alice_In_Ironland always some great pictures that you put together, looking really solid
ThanksGreat depth on pendulum squat, pigsy approved
Love them. I have considered them for a while myself as I am tall (190cm). Then I go back to flat soles. Do they help with depth? It is my weak point with Squats.They are squat shoes
Using a wedge or wearing the squat shoes allows for my knees to track forward past my toes while keeping my torso upright. Results in a more quad-focused squat with better ROM. I am on the tall side with longer legs, so without them my squats look more hip-dominant and less upright.
They do!Love them. I have considered them for a while myself as I am tall (190cm). Then I go back to flat soles. Do they help with depth? It is my weak point with Squats.
Took myself, this shift to see real growthThanksthe gains came fast when I shifted my focus toward maximising time under tension & ROM/ depth

Pre-bed: 2g psyllium husk in water
PEDs
-HGH: 1iu/ day - moved this to the AM which has seen improvement in FBG
-Metformin XR: 500mg pre-bed
-Jardiance: 10mg pre-bed
No major adjustment to food or PEDs/ supplements to occur until after my planned pathology next week.
RECOVERY
Feeling much fresher this week following last week’s additional rest day + nil cardio.
My walking heart rate has improved over the past five days. Another marker of improved recovery.
Still no period post-AAS use. Updated pathology to be completed over the next week which should provide insight.
Soft tissue work planned for tomorrow too - I like having my hip flexors dry-needled every 4-6 weeks
TRAINING
DAY ONE (lower body)
(12G)
My programming has not changed since the removal of AAS. Continuing to achieve improvements in these circumstances is tough - I’m truely giving it my all.
- Glute Drive Machine: 2 sets at 115kg x12 + 2 second hold at the top of each rep (
2.5kg/ set) + (1) 80kg x10 for 1+1/4 reps (unchanged)
- DB BSS (contralateral hold): 45kg for 2 sets 15, 12 reps (
down 3 reps for set 2) - a veteran trainer at my gym kindly helped to tweak my set-up for these today. My previous set-up was GOOD, but I can get more for less with this adjustment. We lowered the ATX bar 1 notch for these rear leg, and added a 20kg plate under the front foot. I can get MAXIMUM hip flexion & keen flexion during the eccentric part of the exercise, with increased forward lean through the torso = more glutes. Even with more challenging set-up, I’m still moving the same load which is a win!
- DB RDL: 40kg DBs (80kg) for 2 sets of 15 (unchanged)
- Abduction machine: 95kg, 91kg for 2 sets of 15 (
4kg set 1)
- Glute Reverse Hyperextension: (2) 41.25kg for 15, 14 (
1 rep/ set)
- Glute Kickback Machine: level 16 (1), level 16 (2) for 15 reps/ set (
‘1 level’ for set 2)
But not all progress comes from adding load/ reps. Sometimes you can adjust technique, range, and tempo to get more stimulus to the target muscle from the same load & rep range. I like taking this approach to my training when AAS is out, as well as during deficit phases: stay curious & eager to improve.
I am a believer that you should strive to leave people in a better place than where you first found them. The universe has a way of reciprocating the energy you put out there: I am a better person from the support I receive from the community at my gym, and the EVO community.

Weight is going down!! Well done, still loving ur food pics and lig!! Keep at itUpdate: 30/1/2026
This morning’s weight was 62.8kg
RECOVERY
Had fairly extensive soft tissue work and dry needling done yesterday - hence the big overnight weight drop! A lot of fluid was pushed out and I feel a lot fresher today. My shoulders and hip flexors in particular feel less ‘sticky’.
TRAINING - DAY FOUR (lower body)
(8G, 1B, 4S)
Abduction (standing machine): 65kg for 2x15 (2.5kg/ set)
BB Hip Thrust: 125kg for 2x12 + intensifier: 100kg for 1 & 1/4 reps x10
I’ve been thinking of ways to make my log educational & entertaining: to give more back to the EVO community.
I took the time to film some of my exercises to assess form and areas for improvement. I don’t do this often as I find that it disrupts my focus, and the gym is often busy & I’m mindful of others privacy.
This is one of my last reps - tempo & form remain consistent from start to finish.
View attachment 175553
While BB hip thrust is a compound movement, but most people do it with the aim of the glute max being the prime mover. It’s easy to engage erectors and quads if your form is even slightly off, or the load is too heavy.
I’d advise trying to prevent using your erectors for this one if you’re not wanting thickness in that area.
Here are my pointers for mastering this movement:
Barbell RDL: 90kg for 2x12 (
- When lowering: keep shoulders relaxed, ribs ‘tucked’ & core braced, keep spine and neck/ head position neutral - control the weight down. Avoid ‘relaxing’, extending on rounding the lower back, core, and neck - this will move tension to the lower back and you’ll immediately lose engagement with the glutes.
- At the top: shins should remain vertical when the hips are fully extended, torso should be parallel to the floor. Finish the lift by contracting your glutes hard. I like a 2 second hold at the top of each rep.
2.5kg/ set)
Could feel the fibres moving in each spot where the dry needles were at the bottom of the hinge
DB BSS (contralateral loaded): 40kg DB for 2x12 (dropped 5kg on these - have been focusing on optimising form to achieve maximal hip flexion while keeping front shin vertices with a slight forward bend in the torso to maintain tension on the glute)
To Finish - Shoulders & Back
DB lateral raise (seated): 7kg DBs for 12, 11
Cable upright row: 26.25kgx12, 21.25kgx15
Unilateral cable pulldown: 28.5kgx12

Thank youWhat a sensational update @Alice_In_Ironland .
The detail was exceptional. Love the hip thrust coaching tips. I have watched this exercise get fucked so often in gyms, even as early as this morning (no not kidding)
I actually felt the description of the RDLs and fibres.

Yes it is really strange! I came across it from an Estonian bodybuilder who cooks their oats on the stove top, and then whisks through a raw egg at the end. Can’t taste it, just makes it thicker (I don’t really like runny/ watery oatmeal). When my cals get low I use some egg whites in place of a bit of the water used to cook the oats - adds extra volume, because I am always hungryGood read through, its good to see more female athletes in this space.

Weights moving down pretty fast at your compostion! Hows energy, fatigue?
Such a great gift! Must be a great morning ritual making your own coffee! The smell of fresh ground coffee in the house tooOoh, i'll have to try them out.
I got a nice coffee machine for my birthday from the fam a couple of years ago. Its my prized possession!
It ruins cafes for you though. If you get really good at making your own coffee, you get dissapointed when you pay for one, and you could have done a better job at home!

Thank youA quality log update as I always expect and look forward to @Alice_In_Ironland .
Shoulders, traps and upper back are looking amazing and are really defined.
Is the @RGSX line going to targeted towards just female athletes or everyone? Looking forward to seeing this.
Greetings all!I’ve attached a few pics of bloods drawn mid-cycle. As mentioned my menstrual cycle/ HPO axis have been disrupted. The goal going forward is to restore a regular menstrual cycle (AAS cycle will be finished this week). I may post some more labs when I get them re-drawn in several weeks’ time for comparison, if it’s helpful? I will also share updates about any supplements etc. I use to help the process along.7/1/2026 Update:
The build continues - getting close to 64kg now.
Fasted BG today AM: 4.8.
PEDs (unchanged):
-Primo-e 40mg/ week (now in the FINAL week of this cycle)
-HGH 2iu pre-bed
+ Metformin XR 500mg; Jardiance 5mg
PHYSIQUE (pics taken flat & fasted in the AM)

Core routine (for those who are interested): bodyweight hanging leg raises (4 sets/ week) & vacuums + core breathing exercises DAILY.
…The HGH does assist in minimising body fat accumulation around my midsection, BUT I think nutrition is key also…
I’m eating 400g (raw weight) of leafy green veg daily. I prefer low FODMAP & low raffinose vegetables for better digestibility & no bloating - cucumber, green bean, zucchini, spinach, chard, lettuce.
For the next phase of my build I’ll be utilising HGH only. The goal is to restore my menstrual cycle.
Considering this, are people still interested in seeing regular log updates from me?
MAJORITY of the time I am not using any AAS, so I can continue to share details about how I make progress via supplements, nutrition, recovery, training etc etc; as well as post updates re: physique/ weight changes & labs if it’s helpful?
Let me know
Update 9/1/2026
Weight has been relatively stable - between 63.4-63.7kg daily.
Calories are unchanged (still carb cycling on training vs rest days).
Sodium and potassium intake continue to be tracked daily & kept at a 1:1 ratio.
If you’re chasing potassium, spinach and white potatoes are great options. I fill any gaps with ‘Lite Salt’ (added to my intra drink at a 2:1 ratio with salt).
Pic: salmon, greens, (a little rice underneath) + salt.

I’m thrilled to say that moving forward I’ll be working with a TOP TIER supplier (the king of cryptids) @Sassy's Pharmaceuticals who has SO kindly offered me a spot on the sponsorship team.
I’ll be sharing feedback of their product here
With AAS now OUT, the goal is to keep pushing training while utilising nutrition, recovery, & non-AAS supplementation to hold onto the newly added tissue while working toward new strength and size gains.

Greetings all
UPDATE: 11/01/2026
The build continues…
Weekly weight average has dropped a little (-200g).
OUTPUT (steps & cardio) are unchanged.
INTAKE (calories & water) are unchanged.
I have majority of carbs pre-, peri- and immediately post-workout. I bring CoR with whey & berries to eat at the gym.
When my next carb increase happens, I’ll re-introduce sweet potato for the fibre, minerals, & potassium.
Very excited to find these during my grocery shop (100% steamed sweet potato). They’re compact so I plan to throw some in a ziplock & then into my gym bag for additional post-WO carbs.

SLEEP
The hot nights have been doing a number on my sleep quality. I keep the AC on, but hate how dry it makes the room. Have purchased a humidifier - I’m planning to use this jointly with the AC to get some moisture back into the air.
TRAINING - DAY FOUR (lower body)
(8G, 1B, 4S)
Abduction (standing machine): 60kg for 2x15
Glute Drive Machine (ft. a new piece of NewTech kit at my gym) 120kg for 2x12 + intensifier: 80kg for 1 & 1/4 reps (try it!)
Barbell RDL: 85kgx15, 85kgx12 - more than ready to increase the load for both sets next sessions
DB BSS (contralateral loaded): progressed to the 45kg DB (up from 42.5kg last session) for 2 sets of 15, 12
To Finish - Shoulders & Back:
DB lateral raise (seated) 7kg DBs for 12, 10
Cable upright row 25kgx12, 20kgx15
Unilateral cable pulldown: 25kgx12
Despite AA now being OUT, I’m still making small progressions on most exercises with an extra rep or 0.5-2.5kg added here and there. I don’t change my program or comprise form, so progress happens in small increments.

3/1/25 Update:
TRAINING SUMMARY
Glute-focused lower day with a mild cold. This particular compound-focused day always makes me a little nervous
Glutes are tricky. For me, it’s about more than just moving the weight from A to B. You’ve got to find that sweet spot between lifting heavy enough to create sufficient stimulus, but also achieving good MMC.
Abduction: 57.5 for 2 sets: 15, 15.
I use the Panatta standing machine.
BB hip thrust: 137.5kg for 2 sets: 12,11 reps. 3rd set 100kg for 1 + 1/4 reps: 10 reps.
I have noticed that hip thrusts using a barbell has improved all of my other lower body lifts - strengthens the stabilisers like a machine can’t.
DB BSS (contralateral hold): holding 1x42.5kg DB. 2 sets x 15, 15.
I like to use a wedge to elevate my toes on the front foot (back foot is elevated on ATX stand) to get more stretch through the lower part of glutes.
BB RDL: 85kg x 2 sets: 12, 12.
Pre-de-load week I had 90kgx10 (2). Decided to drop the load slightly today. I’ll increase once I’m feeling 100% better again.
I do these on a raised platform so I can get maximum stretch through my hips/ glutes at the bottom of each rep. Instead of push hips back, I think ‘point butt toward the ceiling’.
+ shoulders/ lats: 2 sets DB lateral raises (seated), 2 sets upright rows, 1 set unilateral pull downs with a D-grip handle (I think about ‘squeezing’ my lat to tuck my elbow into my pocket).5/1/2025 Update
Sick with a cold - but improving! Have been using the sauna daily to get it moving along.
Weight: has been stable each AM sitting at 63.6-63.7kg for the past week.
FBG was 4.9 this AM.
Intake:
Unchanged: hitting 160p/ 50f/ 350c on training days (JUST under 2500kcal).
non-training day (NTD) day carbs are 225g & fat is 60g.
Output:
11-12k steps daily.
2x 10 min steady-state cardio on NTDs.
Supps:
AM: NAC, TUDCA, astragalus, Vit C, Liposomal Vit D + K2, curcumin, boron, coq10, beef liver, digestive enzymes with meals, Fijian noni juice (30ml)
Psyllium husk and needed
PM: magnesium, fish oil, citrus bergamot, Melatonin 3mg, ‘Dream’ Sleep Support
+ Metformin XR 500mg, Jardiance 5mg
Pre-workout: using Premium Sups Night Warrior - I’m almost out, so seeking suggestions for a good non-stim pre available in AU???
(otherwise I’ll re-purchase NW - it’s now almost $50 a bag, I recall it being $29 not too long ago…)
Intra: HBCD 30g, creatine 10g, glutamine 5g, taurine 5g, salt 2g, collagen 5g, EAA 15g
PEDs (unchanged):
-40mg primo-e (split into 2 doses/ week)
-2iu HGH daily pre-bed
Training - Lower day #3
***I’ve included some training cues & exercise set-up tips I use. I’ve got an album in my phone dedicated to exercise set-ups photos
Leg extension: 63.5kg 2 sets: 15,14.
Lying ham curl: 48.5kg 2 sets: 12,12. I place an ab mat under my hips & focus on driving my hips into the pad. I picked up this tip from Shanique Grant. I get much better hamstring engagement & no lower back tension this way.
Walking lunges with DBs: 2 sets, 15 reps per leg with the 20kg DBs.
Good mornings: 90kg for 2 sets of 15.
I use the v-squat l to do these.
Think: lead the movement by pushing butt to the ceiling, get maximal hip flexion while keeping a neutral spine, squeeze/ ‘round’ the glutes in to drive back up, and keep a very slight/ soft knee bend at the top of each rep to keep the tension on the glutes (don’t thrust/ hyper-extend hips at the top).
Hyperextension: I use the booty builder cable machine - except I don’t use the cable attachment as it means the load is restricted to a fixed/ linear plane. I prefer to hold a DB or a plate with relatively straight arms (held further away from the body). Keep back and chin slightly rounded, eyes looking toward feet/toes, toes pointed outward. Think: lead by squeezing through the glutes. I hold at the top AND the bottom of each rep to really feel the stretch in the short and lengthened positions.
Arms: 3 sets preacher curl machine, 2 sets rope push downs (12.5kg for 12, 12).
Abs: 2 sets of hanging leg raises (body weight).
Pic: post-training CoR, berries, & salted caramel WPI eaten at the gym.

I make it day before and let it set in the fridge (I HATE runny CoR). I mix up the whey with a little water and freeze in a seperate container overnight. Doubles as an ice pack in my gym bag & stays thick for when it’s time to eat.

TRAINING
DAY THREE (lower body)
(2A, 4H, 6Q, 2G)
View attachment 174762
- Hip abduction machine: 108 x12 ( 2 reps); 98.5kg x12 (unchanged)
- Uni-lateral lying hamstring curl: 21.25kg for 2 sets x12 reps (unchanged, but seeing improvements in ROM for my left hamstring which is weaker vs my right)
- Pendulum squat: 28.25kg for 2 sets of 12 (added yoga blocks at my shoulders to to get maximal hip & knee flexion)
My hips & hammies are feeling it after today’s session - soft tissue work later this week couldn’t come sooner
- Cybex squat (leg) press: 170kg for 2 sets 12, 10 reps (
2 reps set 2 - hip flexors & quads have remained tight following Monday’s lower session)
- Seated leg curl: 57.5kg for 2 sets of 12 reps (
2 reps set 2)
- Leg extension: 69.25kg x12, 68kg x12 (
1.25kg set one)
- Glute hyperextension: 37.5kg for 2 sets of 15 reps (unchanged)

125kg for hip thrusts with that pause at the top is impressive! 90kg RDL's is awesome as well!Update: 30/1/2026
This morning’s weight was 62.8kg
RECOVERY
Had fairly extensive soft tissue work and dry needling done yesterday - hence the big overnight weight drop! A lot of fluid was pushed out and I feel a lot fresher today. My shoulders and hip flexors in particular feel less ‘sticky’.
TRAINING - DAY FOUR (lower body)
(8G, 1B, 4S)
Abduction (standing machine): 65kg for 2x15 (2.5kg/ set)
BB Hip Thrust: 125kg for 2x12 + intensifier: 100kg for 1 & 1/4 reps x10
I’ve been thinking of ways to make my log educational & entertaining: to give more back to the EVO community.
I took the time to film some of my exercises to assess form and areas for improvement. I don’t do this often as I find that it disrupts my focus, and the gym is often busy & I’m mindful of others privacy.
This is one of my last reps - tempo & form remain consistent from start to finish.
View attachment 175553
While BB hip thrust is a compound movement, but most people do it with the aim of the glute max being the prime mover. It’s easy to engage erectors and quads if your form is even slightly off, or the load is too heavy.
I’d advise trying to prevent using your erectors for this one if you’re not wanting thickness in that area.
Here are my pointers for mastering this movement:
Barbell RDL: 90kg for 2x12 (
- When lowering: keep shoulders relaxed, ribs ‘tucked’ & core braced, keep spine and neck/ head position neutral - control the weight down. Avoid ‘relaxing’, extending on rounding the lower back, core, and neck - this will move tension to the lower back and you’ll immediately lose engagement with the glutes.
- At the top: shins should remain vertical when the hips are fully extended, torso should be parallel to the floor. Finish the lift by contracting your glutes hard. I like a 2 second hold at the top of each rep.
2.5kg/ set)
Could feel the fibres moving in each spot where the dry needles were at the bottom of the hinge
DB BSS (contralateral loaded): 40kg DB for 2x12 (dropped 5kg on these - have been focusing on optimising form to achieve maximal hip flexion while keeping front shin vertices with a slight forward bend in the torso to maintain tension on the glute)
To Finish - Shoulders & Back
DB lateral raise (seated): 7kg DBs for 12, 11
Cable upright row: 26.25kgx12, 21.25kgx15
Unilateral cable pulldown: 28.5kgx12

Composition remains in a GREAT spot during this (now) AAS-free lean build phase - strangers keep asking me if I’m cutting & telling me that I look shredded
I have the lipolytic benefits of some of the best quality HGH from @Sassy's Pharmaceuticals @Sassy Rep to thank for that!

That’s all she wrote (for now!)![]()
Thank youEpic updated - your figure is looking amazing! It’s so clear how consistent and dialled in you are
How are you finding the switch to am pinning for the HGH so far? What was your motivation for that change?

I’ve had a little extra time to do some form-check filming. My program has barely changed over the previous three years; despite this, I’m always looking for ways to improve exercise execution & set-up as I become more advanced - with the aim of maximising stimulus to the target muscles.

- If you’re targeting glutes, do not let the front knee track past the toes during the movement - aim to keep the front shin vertical
- Control the load down when you lower - think about leading the movement by pushing hips back (trying to touch your butt to that back heel) vs moving the knee up and down
View attachment 177942
- Keep a slight forward lean through the torso when you ‘drive’ using the front (working) foot to shift mechanical load to the glutes - by increasing the angle of hip flexion, you increase the stretch through the glutes
View attachment 177939
- Don’t ‘push off’ through the stabilising (back) foot when coming up - drive through the front foot & focus on engaging the glute to extend the hips up
Set-up tips:
View attachment 177937
- I have my front foot elevated on 20kg plate for maximal hip flexion (to achieve back knee to floor) - a good idea if you’ve got long levers
- I like to hold onto the frame of a squat rack or a nearby machine for stability: more stability = more ability to generate force through the target muscle = more stimulus
- The ATX stand is adjustable (vs a bench) & I like how it has a curved pad (reduces pressure on the rear foot). I place a yoga mat underneath to prevent it from sliding
Helpful: not having tight hip flexors - a keyto unlocking lower-body gains. If you have tightness through your hips, you won’t be able to take the target muscles through their full active range.
I stretch my hip flexors daily, but also have them dry needled and released every 4-6 weeks. I personally find my psoas gets tight and I can even begin to feel it ‘pull’ or ‘catch’ at my abdominals (during ab exercises) if I don’t keep it in check.

Very true! None of my adjustments have made them any easier unfortunately - you just get better at themOnce again an epic update brought to us by @Alice_In_Ironland . Love this log. Nice bump in food. The BSS description was simply

I’ve had a little extra time to do some form-check filming. My program has barely changed over the previous three years; despite this, I’m always looking for ways to improve exercise execution & set-up as I become more advanced - with the aim of maximising stimulus to the target muscles.
Exercise breakdown: Bulgarian Split Squats using a DB (contralateral hold).
You just know an exercise is going to be hard when it’s named after a former Eastern Bloc country
View attachment 177941
- If you’re targeting glutes, do not let the front knee track past the toes during the movement - aim to keep the front shin vertical
- Control the load down when you lower - think about leading the movement by pushing hips back (trying to touch your butt to that back heel) vs moving the knee up and down
View attachment 177942
- Keep a slight forward lean through the torso when you ‘drive’ using the front (working) foot to shift mechanical load to the glutes - by increasing the angle of hip flexion, you increase the stretch through the glutes
View attachment 177939
- Don’t ‘push off’ through the stabilising (back) foot when coming up - drive through the front foot & focus on engaging the glute to extend the hips up
Set-up tips:
View attachment 177937
- I have my front foot elevated on 20kg plate for maximal hip flexion (to achieve back knee to floor) - a good idea if you’ve got long levers
- I like to hold onto the frame of a squat rack or a nearby machine for stability: more stability = more ability to generate force through the target muscle = more stimulus
- The ATX stand is adjustable (vs a bench) & I like how it has a curved pad (reduces pressure on the rear foot). I place a yoga mat underneath to prevent it from sliding
Helpful: not having tight hip flexors - a keyto unlocking lower-body gains. If you have tightness through your hips, you won’t be able to take the target muscles through their full active range.
I stretch my hip flexors daily, but also have them dry needled and released every 4-6 weeks. I personally find my psoas gets tight and I can even begin to feel it ‘pull’ or ‘catch’ at my abdominals (during ab exercises) if I don’t keep it in check.

Some really clean yummy foodHi hello
Update: 5/2/2026
Today’s weight: 63.2kg
FBG: 4.7 - post prandial steps & keeping all carbs tight around my training window is keeping BG in a good spot
BP: 108/75

Training Day Calories: 2815 (400 C/ 180 P/ 55 F)
Non-training day Calories: 2460 (300 C/ 180 P/ 60F)
So far, so good re: the food increase. I’ve placed the extra carbs in my pre- & post-training meals. Still eating 400g raw weight green veg, and ~100g fruit daily. Digestion has been great. I do take digestive enzymes, but I believe that if you eat whole & unprocessed foods, the body will break down & partition the nutrients efficiently & with minimal bloating/ distension (i.e., food doesn’t ‘sit’ in my stomach for long). On that note, my appetite is firing & I could eat a lot more if I wanted to

So far, so good re: the food increase. I’ve placed the extra carbs in my pre- & post-training meals. Still eating 400g raw weight green veg, and ~100g fruit daily. Digestion has been great. I do take digestive enzymes, but I believe that if you eat whole & unprocessed foods, the body will break down & partition the nutrients efficiently & with minimal bloating/ distension (i.e., food doesn’t ‘sit’ in my stomach for long). On that note, my appetite is firing & I could eat a lot more if I wanted to

Update: 30/1/2026
This morning’s weight was 62.8kg
RECOVERY
Had fairly extensive soft tissue work and dry needling done yesterday - hence the big overnight weight drop! A lot of fluid was pushed out and I feel a lot fresher today. My shoulders and hip flexors in particular feel less ‘sticky’.
TRAINING - DAY FOUR (lower body)
(8G, 1B, 4S)
Abduction (standing machine): 65kg for 2x15 (2.5kg/ set)
BB Hip Thrust: 125kg for 2x12 + intensifier: 100kg for 1 & 1/4 reps x10
I’ve been thinking of ways to make my log educational & entertaining: to give more back to the EVO community.
I took the time to film some of my exercises to assess form and areas for improvement. I don’t do this often as I find that it disrupts my focus, and the gym is often busy & I’m mindful of others privacy.
This is one of my last reps - tempo & form remain consistent from start to finish.
View attachment 175553
While BB hip thrust is a compound movement, but most people do it with the aim of the glute max being the prime mover. It’s easy to engage erectors and quads if your form is even slightly off, or the load is too heavy.
I’d advise trying to prevent using your erectors for this one if you’re not wanting thickness in that area.
Here are my pointers for mastering this movement:
Barbell RDL: 90kg for 2x12 (
- When lowering: keep shoulders relaxed, ribs ‘tucked’ & core braced, keep spine and neck/ head position neutral - control the weight down. Avoid ‘relaxing’, extending on rounding the lower back, core, and neck - this will move tension to the lower back and you’ll immediately lose engagement with the glutes.
- At the top: shins should remain vertical when the hips are fully extended, torso should be parallel to the floor. Finish the lift by contracting your glutes hard. I like a 2 second hold at the top of each rep.
2.5kg/ set)
Could feel the fibres moving in each spot where the dry needles were at the bottom of the hinge
DB BSS (contralateral loaded): 40kg DB for 2x12 (dropped 5kg on these - have been focusing on optimising form to achieve maximal hip flexion while keeping front shin vertices with a slight forward bend in the torso to maintain tension on the glute)
To Finish - Shoulders & Back
DB lateral raise (seated): 7kg DBs for 12, 11
Cable upright row: 26.25kgx12, 21.25kgx15
Unilateral cable pulldown: 28.5kgx12

I’ve been collaborating with @RGSX in the lead-up to the release of their Elite Health line of supplement stacks. The women’s specific stack is the FIRST of its kind to hit the AU market: a comprehensive supplement blend featuring only evidence-based ingredients - with no unnecessary fillers or fluff.
As a minimally enhanced bodybuilder & a female, my progress DEPENDS on taking a calculated & meticulous approach to training, nutrition, & supplementation - leaving no stone unturned.
During periods of enhancement use & when without - you can’t neglect your health if longevity in the sport, and in life, are priorities.
I am transparent about my supplement protocols - and I will ONLY EVER recommend a product if I personally use it, it aligns with my goals, and I believe it to be effective + beneficial.
All of this to be streamlined very soon:

RECOVERY
Soft tissue therapy & dry needling have breathed some new life into my hamstrings and hip flexors. So much less tension in these areas now - which should keep me going for a couple more weeks until I implement a training de-load.
Had a sauna session yesterday evening (post training lower & arms).

I’ve had a little extra time to do some form-check filming. My program has barely changed over the previous three years; despite this, I’m always looking for ways to improve exercise execution & set-up as I become more advanced - with the aim of maximising stimulus to the target muscles.
Exercise breakdown: Bulgarian Split Squats using a DB (contralateral hold).
You just know an exercise is going to be hard when it’s named after a former Eastern Bloc country
View attachment 177941
- If you’re targeting glutes, do not let the front knee track past the toes during the movement - aim to keep the front shin vertical
- Control the load down when you lower - think about leading the movement by pushing hips back (trying to touch your butt to that back heel) vs moving the knee up and down
View attachment 177942
- Keep a slight forward lean through the torso when you ‘drive’ using the front (working) foot to shift mechanical load to the glutes - by increasing the angle of hip flexion, you increase the stretch through the glutes
View attachment 177939
- Don’t ‘push off’ through the stabilising (back) foot when coming up - drive through the front foot & focus on engaging the glute to extend the hips up
Set-up tips:
View attachment 177937
- I have my front foot elevated on 20kg plate for maximal hip flexion (to achieve back knee to floor) - a good idea if you’ve got long levers
- I like to hold onto the frame of a squat rack or a nearby machine for stability: more stability = more ability to generate force through the target muscle = more stimulus
- The ATX stand is adjustable (vs a bench) & I like how it has a curved pad (reduces pressure on the rear foot). I place a yoga mat underneath to prevent it from sliding
Helpful: not having tight hip flexors - a keyto unlocking lower-body gains. If you have tightness through your hips, you won’t be able to take the target muscles through their full active range.
I stretch my hip flexors daily, but also have them dry needled and released every 4-6 weeks. I personally find my psoas gets tight and I can even begin to feel it ‘pull’ or ‘catch’ at my abdominals (during ab exercises) if I don’t keep it in check.

Many thanks to the supporters of this log @Sassy's Pharmaceuticals @Sassy Rep & @RGSX who make it possible for me to create more in-depth style posts
For joints that feel buttery smooth even when you’re doing Bulgarians twice weekly @Sassy's Pharmaceuticals has you covered - his HGH is like WD40 for the body
To keep your body performing optimally @RGSX have specialised stacks (soon to be available to Aus EVO members) to suit the supplement needs for those who train hard (AAS use or not) - which won’t break the bank OR occupy all of your pantry space![]()

PHYSIQUE UPDATE
- Take more time to step back, observe, or listen to see the full picture before making a judgement or deciding on a fix - I love problem solving, but I am also very detailed-oriented. I don’t want to let my eagerness to find solutions get ahead of my attention to detail.
- Worry less about ‘what if’s’ or unknowns. Sometimes my thoughts skip ahead to the future and I start to think about how I’ll manage xyz when my circumstances & priorities shift. I just need to trust that I’ll keep putting in my best effort to achieve my goals irrespective of the season. Like how I’ve always done: we do always find a way to make it work.

- Worry less about ‘what if’s’ or unknowns. Sometimes my thoughts skip ahead to the future and I start to think about how I’ll manage xyz when my circumstances & priorities shift. I just need to trust that I’ll keep putting in my best effort to achieve my goals irrespective of the season. Like how I’ve always done: we do always find a way to make it work.

I’m proud of these visuals with AAS now completely out of my system. Continuing to keep diet in-check & maintaining a high standard of training are key if you want to hold onto the tissue that was build on cycle. It is possible, just hard work.

Thank you! Yeah so true - tough to get a restful sleep when your mind has been running a million miles a minute all day.I love this seeing more pbs with the session u had, awesome work there
And here's to hopefully a easier week ahead for u work wise and u can catch up on sleep, no matter how much i get, it just never seems enough haha
Thank youJust gave the whole log a flick through, and my lord your updates are detailed lots of hard work has gone into it and your training by what I can see.
Keep up the amazing work
The first part really shows growth. Slowing things down just enough to actually see and hear what’s going on before jumping straight into fix it mode isn’t you losing your edge at all, if anything it sharpens it. You stay dialled in, still solutions focused, just moving with more patience and clarity instead of rushing the play.Hi hello

MINDSET
With the year of the snake ending, I’ve thought of a couple of things from 2025 that I’m going to ‘shed’. These are not entirely bodybuilding related, but it all comes together in the end:
