Another workout in the books. Weight is holding. I don't feel like I am overeating. I did add the AI Aromasin this week. I'm not really feeling high estrogen. For me this overly emotional and nipple sensitivity. I feel fine. I am starting the M-F HGH protocol next week. I am thinking I start Friday fasting on that last Friday (after 5 weeks of HGH) and run blood work.

Right now I have consistency and intensity in my workouts. That should be a winning combo.

@PrinceDaddy nice update man. I like how you go over how your weight is progressing and your overeating situation where you don't feel like you're overeating. That's some good notes to keep in mind.

Bro, sound like a good plan with the fasting. That's gonna be a good way to boost insulin sensitivity and cut down on some stubborn body fat. @PrinceDaddy

Always great to see you update us. @PrinceDaddy I can't believe you're going to cut down from about 190 lb to 165 lb. That's going to be a heck of a transformation.

No need to ever overeat, to be honest with you, especially with your goals. I like your approach of cutting into the show. That makes a lot of sense. @PrinceDaddy

Good leg workout today. Had to wait on my rack so I did leg extension pre-exhaust. Got it done. I can see some leg definition, it will be interesting to see in a few weeks when I shred the hair. Us Americans have taxes due in 2 months, I'm trying to get my taxes done.

Another thing I have been looking at is OpenClaw, it is an AI personal agent that can do tasks on your behalf. I have been giving thought to use cases for someone like me. At this point, I am thinking an investment advisor who thinks like me, but I was also thinking a bodybuilding coach who thinks like me. Kind of interesting. This tool got acquired by OpenAI and seems to be blowing up in the reddit world.

The body is churning, make sure you do the same with your brain....

If definition is already in play your are moving along nicely legend.
I will say Taxes suck regardless of the country.

That is fascinating about OpenClaw. I will check that out. AI is here now and railing against it won't change a thing. Figure whilst I won't universally embrace it, I will lean into it and see what is useful...

Started off pretty well today, but seemed to run out gas towards the end. Not sure why. Ended up skipping the plate loaded shoulder press. Thinking of alternating between the seated barbell press and the plate loaded press. Prob better for my shoulder. My shoulder is getting better every week. It just is not best or something is still there although it is less with each passing week.

I take my Reta and start my HGH tomorrow. Curious to see how I feel this week.

I pretty much repeat the workout week to week. The only change I have made with legs is the addition of sissy squats and one sided goblet squats to sit on the glute. I do feel stronger, but I'm not adding weight, just trying to have more control, lower and slower.

I have really been hitting the gym hard. Intensity has been good. I feel like when I am done... I am done. Nothing left in the tank. Compounds and dosing feel good, no negative effects so far. Biggest thing for me is to start seeing the body change. I can't at the moment since I am covered in hair. I am thinking aound March 7 or so. With my hair it is big task, especially the first time since I have not been doing any trim maintenance. I am much more abdominally stronger this time of year compared to years past. I am doing planks, crunches, twists, vacuums, leg lifts. It is a focus for me.

Another workout in the books. Just plugging along. Funniest notable event today as I was getting ready to re-rack the 130 dumb bells from RDLs my over the ear headphones slip off and fall on the rack where I am supposed to put the dumb bells. I really dislike these headphones. They don't clamp on tight enough and often slip off my head if I am sweating. I have another pair of another brand ready to roll but I usually wait for the current one to break.

March is almost here....

Pull ups and core work. Great workouts. 5 days straight of HGH. Will go off 2 days and resume on Monday. I'm having my dose generally around 5pm before my big bolus meal. I feel like sleep has been ok, but not improved. I am feeling raging hunger later in the evening. I'm not sure if that is a side for GH. I am still on Reta 2mg on Mondays.

The reta is still working. All things being equal between this week and last the only change is the addition of 4iu HGH M-F.
On Wednesday I noticed around 8pm its as if my stomach acid was burning. Like my metabolism was on fire. I'm not really eating after bolus meal. Maybe a greek yogurt or some nuts.

Decent leg work out today. Feeling a bit tired. Not sure why.

Tomorrow is shoulders. I was starting with seated front barbell presses. I'm going to replace with plate loaded presses. I'm thinking my shoulder does not like the lift off from the bench (back to front). I'm anxious to see how I feel as this is easily my weakest body part for the moment.

A very underrated method of progression. I think essential for certain muscles / exercises. Back would be an example for me. Always trying to maximise the feel/contraction in the lats.

I haven't discussed it but since I added HGH (2ui/day pre bed), I think my hunger has increased significantly. Actually, I'm not sure hunger is the best term. It's like my body is really telling me it NEEDS food.

are you taking Apple cider vinegar ED? @PrinceDaddy and psyllium husk?

Decent leg work out today. Feeling a bit tired. Not sure why.

Tomorrow is shoulders. I was starting with seated front barbell presses. I'm going to replace with plate loaded presses. I'm thinking my shoulder does not like the lift off from the bench (back to front). I'm anxious to see how I feel as this is easily my weakest body part for the moment.

I think you need to get bpc/tb into your shoulder asap

I found that as well brother. That push up pull out motion was always uncomfortable as hell. I switched to DB and Landmine single arm press myself. Hope yours goes well for you

This is interesting. Weight has gone up. Diet has not changed. I am not pigging out. I don't see a water layer on the body. Sock line is normal.
Only change is HGH. Maybe muscle gain, maybe fat gain, I don't know. I don't feel fatter or leaner. Just the same. I will keep watching. I
did have the same stomach sensation yesterday. Not sure yet about today as I am eating dinner right now.

OK workout today. Ab session was good or adequate. Shoulder routine did changer with the plate loaded shoulder press first. So my approach was

Back to machine
No plates 10
1 45 plate each side 10
1 45 and 1 25 each side 10
2 45 each side 10
2 45 and 1 25 each side 10
2 45 and 2 25 about 5 to 6

Drop to 2 plates each side. i do a routine with 3 consecutive exercises with rest between
1) Face the backrest sitting and use both hands
2) Face the backrest sitting and do single arms
3) Stand up and face the backrest and press from standing position

I try to do 10 with each of the sets
Start at
2 plates each side
1 plate and 25 each side
1 plate each side
25 each side

I like this alternate version. I did mostly machines afterwards as I was gassed. Usually have some more energy but not today.

HGH and reta tomorrow. Time change coming at the end of the week. Sometime this upcoming weekend I will start the grooming and get rid of the hair.

Question to anyone who knows or might know. Thoughts on Castor Oil for joints or digestion?

Here is what Chat says.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Support
Ricinoleic acid has mild anti-inflammatory effects.
May help with:
Minor skin irritation
Mild joint discomfort (when massaged in)
Sore muscles
Some people use castor oil packs (cloth soaked in oil, placed on skin) for localized relief.

How It Works Internally
Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which:
Stimulates intestinal muscle contractions
Increases movement in the small intestine
Acts as a stimulant laxative
That means it doesn’t “improve digestion” — it forces bowel movement activity.

Is It Good for “Gut Health”?
No — not in the probiotic or microbiome sense.
It:
Does not improve gut bacteria
Does not improve digestion long-term
Does not heal the gut lining
It’s purely a mechanical stimulant.

Thoughts?

Weight likely up due to diet IMO but I'd like to see it more closely @PrinceDaddy i really think you need close coaching with diet and training and planning

on the castor oil its nasty stuff will make you run to the toilet a lot I'm not a fan of it tbh

You can try it but I wouldn't do it.
and the joints is topical not oral usually

Went thru the motions today. Decent back workout, but I did not feel as strong as I did last week. Maybe some fatigue setting in. Not sure.
I have an alarm for 4AM M-F. I usually wake up before it and just get up and turn it off. This morning the alarm woke me up. So, I did sleep better.
It is getting warmer in Texas, maybe I am feeling the heat.

Reta 2mg and HGH 4iu are back on this week. Let's see how things look towards the end of the week. This is the grooming and shredding week.

We have 2 safety bars for squatting, one is 65lbs the other 40lbs. I like the lighter one. Had to wait and do some leg extensions and calves on the wait. Actually never got to my leg extensions today. Just too much working around people.

Did my walk solo today as my friend was busy. I brought my airline ticket for Pitt Show # 1 in July. Made the hotel reservation for both Pitt shows.
I am committed now. Hopefully drives my focus. It is getting warmer in Texas.

Changed up the chest work out. Instead of doing barbell incline and decline presses, I am doing the plate loaded press machines.
I go as high as 2 45s and 2 quarters each side, so heavier than what I would do on bar press. Hoping to build some strength and gains.

Have not been sleeping optimally. I think this is due to the temperature change. It is around 80 now. I have not flipped the house to A/C yet.
Might need to if this does not improve.

Been dragging a bit. Have a very light sore throat working thru my system. I feel it, but it does not bother me. Weight seems to go up on the HGH. I don't see any obvious water retention. I do think the muscles are fuller. Time changes in the US this weekend. This is a transformation weekend as I get rid of hair. Getting a hair cut tomorrow. Getting rid of the facial hair on Saturday. Body hair as well on Saturday and Sunday. Large effort for me as I have not done any maintenance since Sept of last year. Anxious to see what is hiding underneath. Looking at my log last year this day I was waking up 201 and post workout at 195.

Been dragging a bit. Have a very light sore throat working thru my system. I feel it, but it does not bother me. Weight seems to go up on the HGH. I don't see any obvious water retention. I do think the muscles are fuller. Time changes in the US this weekend. This is a transformation weekend as I get rid of hair. Getting a hair cut tomorrow. Getting rid of the facial hair on Saturday. Body hair as well on Saturday and Sunday. Large effort for me as I have not done any maintenance since Sept of last year. Anxious to see what is hiding underneath. Looking at my log last year this day I was waking up 201 and post workout at 195.

Keep hustling and working...

Got to agree about water retention on HgH, haven't seen it myself either. Sounds like hair shedding is quite the ordeal brother

Yesterday, got rid of the head, beard, and leg hair. Today the chest, arms and back. I'm sure I missed a few spots but the first run is heavy thick overgrown hair. Thus, I split it between 2 days. I'm not super lean at the moment. I think I look ok for March.

So, the plan is to continue what I am doing thru March. No fasting. Diet is already clean, I'm not eating junk. I do feel like I am getting some water retention. With the hair off, I do see it better, but it not very much compared to years past with the definite sock line. I feel like the HGH is contributing to this. So I'm in week 2 of 5. 3 more weeks to go. At the end of week 5, I am planning on doing the blood work.

So, basically I am thinking of starting the hard diet, fasting and cutting peptides (SLU-PP332, MOTS-C, AOD-9064), clen in April. At that point, I plan on cutting over to Tren and Mast towards the end of April.

I've attached the snaps from today. @LevButlerov Let this fat boy know what he's got to do to get it done in July. Looking forward to your wisdom and insight.

You look good strong real clean pump! @PrinceDaddy
I would say looking at this, we need to dial it in and add microdose of tren about 20mgs ed and start pushing hard on arms and shoulders, arms being biggest push we need bi/tri work

you really need bpc in the shoulder imo

My shoulder workout seems to be improving. My shoulder joint feel a bit dry. Like I need Deca (already using), but I am feeling stronger and in less pain. I did the plate loaded shoulder press and got up to 3plates and quarter for 5 reps. Hope I get some growth out of it,

Glad to have the hair off as now I can see the physique at the gym. More motivation.

I don't. Last year this time (March) I was doing college visits with my daughter. I tried to get a workout in when I could, but my diet and training were not the standard. I ended up with another in April as well. So I was working around her schedule.

Deca is more of a cover up for joint issues, need the peptides bpc/tb GLOW etc to fix it @PrinceDaddy

Getting used to the DST time change. I don't like it. We should just stop doing it. I should be adjusted by the end of the week. Good back workout, muscles feel good. No issues on these movements. Able to row 130s with ease. On the plate t-bar row. I will put the bar on the ground on the reverse going from 1 to 5 plates. On 5 plates, I can row 3 to 5 reps off the ground, about 225. I'm stronger on the right side vs the left side.
Might be a little grip issue on the left side.

Weight has come down from the weekend. Maybe I'm retaining more water on the HGH. Feels like I am going up 5 lbs by the end of the week starting Mon into Friday. I'm only doing 4iu HGH Mon-Fri. This will be week 3.

This minor sore throat has turned into a little congestion and cough. Still not enough for me to take a rest day. Still just a nuisance.
I am between the bulk and cut. I'm not overeating and not dieting but I am eating healthy. I would say I'm priming for the cut. As soon as I finish this HGH dose at the end of the month I start cutting and fasting. I am maintaining strength and working core while I get there.

Nice job on this. It's interesting the way your weight fluctuates, four pounds from waking up to post-workout. You've had a history of this. I wonder if it's just you or if it's a lot of people. @PrinceDaddy
