Offseason Week 37 – Blast Week 6
Powered by @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep
Bodyweight: 137.7 kg
General Overview
Unfortunately came down with a pretty bad cold/flu type thing over the weekend which put me out of my usual training Friday, Saturday, and Monday this week.
Because of that, these photos are only after one day back on training day food following 4 days on lower calorie rest day intake, so I’m definitely a little less full, a bit drier, and less inflamed overall. Honestly though, not a bad look all things considered.
Outside of the sickness, it’s actually been a very smooth week.
Training and Recovery
Only ended up missing 3 sessions in total, so there won’t be any reduction in volume or adjustments from my side. Plan is just to bring myself straight back into training as normal and continue progressing.
Very excited to be back training and feeling good again. Energy is already bouncing back quickly and I expect performance to climb back into rhythm over the next few sessions without much issue.
Cycle Update
No changes this week from coach’s end.
Drug setup remains unchanged, training setup remains unchanged, and overall the goal right now is simply to keep ticking along, stay healthy, and continue driving progression week to week.
Current Position and Outlook
Not the most exciting update this week honestly, but also not every week needs to be by any means.
Small setback with getting sick, but nothing major in the grand scheme and I’m already back into things with a vengeance. Looking forward to seeing how much progress we can make over the coming week now that everything is rolling again.

beautiful size in the pics
really thick and full, love the back and arms!
@BigPassiveHulk man, I'm impressed here. Your physique looks fantastic. You are built like an absolute Hulk.
Overall you're looking fantastic. The physique is on point and I like the different modifications you're making. @BigPassiveHulk
Overall a nice workout. The training and recovery look fantastic. @BigPassiveHulk I'm glad that your coach is getting you on point.
@BigPassiveHulk seems like we've seen a lot of guys getting a little bit of a cold or flu. That can really put a damper on your training for sure. Give your body a little bit of a break and come back strong, as you're doing. I love to see it
Bros, getting sick is unfortunately part of the game especially when we go to the gym. Lots of bugs are getting passed around all the time. @BigPassiveHulk
glad to see you back at it already, still looking unreal
@BigPassiveHulk man there’s a little bug going around keeps you sick for a couple days. It had me messed up but it doesn’t keep you down Long. Glad to see your back rolling.
Glad to see you bounced back quickly from your illness brother. Nice update on how steady and balanced things are at present.

Thank you all so much! I'm glad I'm feeling better too, appreciate all the support thank you all!
Great bro thank you, super glad I've bounced back, sickness pretty much gone and knee is well and truly on the mend too!
It really is isn't it hahaha hot spot for cold and flu transmission haha but all good, we bounced back quick!
Thank you so much brother! I'm super keen for this growth phase
Offseason Week 38 – Blast Week 7
Powered by @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep
Bodyweight: 138.3 kg
General Overview
This has been an incredibly successful week all around.
Food was dialled in, training was phenomenal, and everything aligned for a really productive week. Performance continues to move in the right direction, recovery is excellent, and I’m continuing to see small improvements in conditioning week to week despite holding calories steady.
Since the knee issue a couple weeks ago, I’ve seen the physio 3 times and he’s been astounded at how quickly it’s recovering.
Training and Recovery
Recovery has taken a very noticeable jump forward this week.
When the knee injury first happened, the big man GOATed ass motherfucker @Raptor Rep sent me a care package consisting of BPC-157, TB-500, and noteably PEG-MGF - which, despite having a fairly decent knowledge base around PEDs and peptides, was actually something I’d never looked into before.
About five days ago I commenced a full peptide protocol to help reduce inflammation and accelerate the recovery process so I can get back into some proper heavy leg training sooner rather than later.
I'm fkn impressed.
What’s actually surprised me most isn't even the knee itself, but the systemic effect. I genuinely didn’t realise how slightly inflamed I’d been over the past few months until introducing this setup. I feel dramatically fresher coming into sessions, recovery between workouts feels significantly improved, and even day-to-day my joints have been clicking and cracking far less.
I’ve run plenty of BPC and TB-500 protocols over the years and they’ve always helped, but I’ve never experienced such a pronounced shift in such a short timeframe. Obviously the current anabolic androgenic steroid environment is contributing as well, but the difference over just a few days has been pretty astounding since the introduction of the MGF.
Current protocol:
Nutrition
Nutrition remains unchanged.
Coach was very happy with how things are progressing and wants to hold calories exactly where they are for now. I completely agree with that decision as I don't see any need to push food higher when it's simply not required.
Performance is climbing every session, recovery is phenomenal, digestion is great, and body composition continues to improve slowly each week. At this point there’s no reason to force additional calories into the equation.
Health Monitoring
I’ll be getting bloodwork pulled next Monday and I’m genuinely very interested to see what everything looks like.
Given how much better I’ve been feeling systemically since introducing the peptide protocol, I’m curious to see whether any improvements are reflected in inflammation markers or broader health metrics as well.
Current Position and Outlook
Overall, things are going exceptionally well right now.
Training is progressing, recovery is at one of the best points it’s been in years, food is perfectly positioned, and the knee is getting better far quicker than expected.
The goal remains the same—continue executing, keep accumulating quality training weeks, and let the process do its thing.
Very happy with where things are at and excited to see what the coming weeks bring.

Training Update – Arms (Weeks 4–8 only as I introduced the sole arm day moving from 4 training days to 5, 4 weeks ago)
Powered by @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep
Training has been absolutely flying lately.
I’ve been loving the equipment available in the new gym for push, pull, and legs, but this is a little look into a fairly basic arm session that has been progressing really nicely over the past couple of months.
Arms have always been a bit of a weaker body part for me, and honestly I’ve seen some of the best progress in them since shifting my focus more towards applied tension and movements that allow me to really feel the target muscle working throughout the entire ROM.
I don’t think "feel" is everything in training by any means, but when it comes to bringing up lagging body parts, I do think it becomes far more important. Most stubborn body parts, at least in my experience, tend to lag because of an inability to effectively contract and load the target tissue. Using movements that allow for better muscular control and contractile quality has made a huge difference for progress in both myself and clients.
Some of these movements have been slow to progress due to high frequency training of my biceps particularly at 3x per week with volume pretty high there but small progressions are all we're after with small muscle groups.

Offseason Week 39 – Blast Week 8
Powered by @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep
Bodyweight: 137.9 kg (304.0 lbs)
General Overview
Things have ticked along really well this past week.
It was essentially a perfect nutrition and training week right up until Monday, where I took an additional rest day to account for pulling bloods on Tuesday morning. Outside of that, everything has been exactly where it needs to be—food execution has been spot on, training performance continues to move in the right direction, and recovery remains excellent.
Training and Recovery
Training continues to roll along very nicely.
Performance remains high across the board and recovery is continuing to support progression. The additional rest day this week was purely a strategic decision around bloodwork rather than any need to reduce fatigue or pull back on output.
The goal remains simple—continue stacking productive weeks together and let the accumulation of quality sessions drive progress.
Nutrition
Nutrition has been flawless this week.
No changes have been made and there is currently no reason to push food higher until we have more information from the latest round of bloodwork and a clearer picture of the next phase of the push.
Digestion, performance, recovery, and body composition are all moving in the right direction, so holding steady remains the most logical approach for now.
Health Monitoring
Bloodwork was pulled Tuesday morning and I’m very interested to see how everything comes back.
Some of the assessments, particularly ApoB and E2 via LC-MS, will likely take a week or two to return, but the majority of markers should be available much sooner.
The plan for now is simple: execute, wait for the results, and then use that information to determine the next move.
Cycle Update
Coach and I caught up today and discussed the likely direction moving forward assuming bloodwork comes back in a favourable position.
If everything looks good, the current plan is to make another escalation towards the projected peak setup:
Following that phase, the plan would be to pull back into an elevated cruise in the vicinity of 300–400 mg total and spend roughly 8 weeks allowing the body to refresh. The primary goal of this period would be to reduce accumulated fatigue, lower oxidative stress, improve health markers, and set up the next phase of growth as effectively as possible.
After that elevated cruise, the approach will likely shift to a much slower and more gradual escalation over 10 weeks through the final body composition tidy-up/maintenance phase before prep begins 16-18 weeks out.
One thing we've discussed is that prep itself is unlikely to require anything close to the dosages being used during this growth phase. The goal right now is simply to maximise the amount of quality tissue we can add before prep starts, as it takes significantly more drug load to build muscle than it does to retain it once it's there. Plus, I just wanna see what it's like to be on 3,000mg of gear and how much muscle I'll be able to grow
Current Position and Outlook
Overall, things are exactly where I want them to be.
Execution is high, recovery is excellent, performance continues to progress, and now it's simply a matter of seeing what the bloodwork tells us and making the next move accordingly.
Hopefully the results come back in a favourable position and we can continue pushing forward. If so, the next few months should be very productive as we work towards the final stages of this growth phase before transitioning into my maintenance/tidy up phase.

Following that phase, the plan would be to pull back into an elevated cruise in the vicinity of 300–400 mg total and spend roughly 8 weeks allowing the body to refresh. The primary goal of this period would be to reduce accumulated fatigue, lower oxidative stress, improve health markers, and set up the next phase of growth as effectively as possible.
After that elevated cruise, the approach will likely shift to a much slower and more gradual escalation over 10 weeks through the final body composition tidy-up/maintenance phase before prep begins 16-18 weeks out.
One thing we've discussed is that prep itself is unlikely to require anything close to the dosages being used during this growth phase. The goal right now is simply to maximise the amount of quality tissue we can add before prep starts, as it takes significantly more drug load to build muscle than it does to retain it once it's there. Plus, I just wanna see what it's like to be on 3,000mg of gear and how much muscle I'll be able to grow
Current Position and Outlook
Overall, things are exactly where I want them to be.
Execution is high, recovery is excellent, performance continues to progress, and now it's simply a matter of seeing what the bloodwork tells us and making the next move accordingly.
Hopefully the results come back in a favourable position and we can continue pushing forward. If so, the next few months should be very productive as we work towards the final stages of this growth phase before transitioning into my maintenance/tidy up phase.

General Overview
Things have ticked along really well this past week.
It was essentially a perfect nutrition and training week right up until Monday, where I took an additional rest day to account for pulling bloods on Tuesday morning. Outside of that, everything has been exactly where it needs to be—food execution has been spot on, training performance continues to move in the right direction, and recovery remains excellent.
Training and Recovery
Training continues to roll along very nicely.
Performance remains high across the board and recovery is continuing to support progression. The additional rest day this week was purely a strategic decision around bloodwork rather than any need to reduce fatigue or pull back on output.
The goal remains simple—continue stacking productive weeks together and let the accumulation of quality sessions drive progress.
Nutrition
Nutrition has been flawless this week.
No changes have been made and there is currently no reason to push food higher until we have more information from the latest round of bloodwork and a clearer picture of the next phase of the push.
Digestion, performance, recovery, and body composition are all moving in the right direction, so holding steady remains the most logical approach for now.
Health Monitoring
Bloodwork was pulled Tuesday morning and I’m very interested to see how everything comes back.
Some of the assessments, particularly ApoB and E2 via LC-MS, will likely take a week or two to return, but the majority of markers should be available much sooner.
The plan for now is simple: execute, wait for the results, and then use that information to determine the next move.
Cycle Update
Coach and I caught up today and discussed the likely direction moving forward assuming bloodwork comes back in a favourable position.
If everything looks good, the current plan is to make another escalation towards the projected peak setup:
From there, the intention would be to push for another 8–10 weeks, potentially increasing Deca to 420 mg during that time if tolerated well.
- Testosterone: 1,540 mg (+280 mg)
- Equipoise: 1,050 mg
- Deca: 210 mg (+210 mg)
