Decent leg workout today. I am feeling a bit of the contest exhaustion. Energy levels are dropping. This is the grind, you have to stay hungry and on point. I like how things look, but in my mind they can look better. You have to keep pushing. I have been bodybuilding since 2011, natural from 2011-2018, enhanced since 2019. In that time I can remember having death face one time. Cheeks that are sunk in. Conditioning. Of course, I had less size back then.

As l look at my physique, the details are coming in. The extremities look good, but the belly/lower back/glutes are still carrying fat. Blessed bodybuilding genetics would be even fat distribution. That I do not have.

I have complete blood work. I will post as soon as I have it edited for posting. I found a source for mirabegron. So we shall see if it helps me get better sleep.

Here's how it looks today:

Grind grind grind!!!!

Getting leaner by the day. Love the grind in you. Keep pushing, you got this.

 

[PrinceDaddy]

Bloodwork from 06/20. Not great but expected since I am in the stressing portion of my cycle.
I am wondering if some numbers are skewed being dehydrated. I did drink fluids, but with a 36 hour fast leading into this blood work, it might affect it. I'm going to schedule the next bloodwork 08/22 before the next show. I will do the normal 12 hour blood fast for that one.

I like doing blood work, typically 2 months into a cycle, a week before each show, then 8 weeks after coming off a cycle.

Cholesterol numbers are whacked, expected with the compounds. Not the worst I have seen in my bloods previously. 2023 topped these numbers. Thyroid is off, I am taking T3. With the advent of the GLPs, specifically I really don't think I would use Clen and T3 anymore.
Simply the GLP is just more effective. No reason to muck up the thyroid function.

Nothing too troublesome for my typical bloods below. Wish my IGF was a little higher.

At this point, the cycle is down to

Weekly
150mg Tren Ace
200mg Test Cyp
600mg Masteron Prop
150mg EQ (Till I finish vial)

Orals
Anavar 10mg
Winstrol 10mg
Proviron 20mg

I am grinding. I feel a little tired and fatigued. Intensity is dropping a bit. Weight seems to be steady. However, I see more definition and still have peak strength. Just wondering if I am growing into the show. Especially with the MOTS-C.

Here's how it looks today:

So, I will have ground turkey 99/1 into the show. Prefer ground beef, but I don't mind ground turkey or chicken.
Here's my OMAD meal prep. 2 more portions for tomorrow and the next day.

 

[PrinceDaddy]

My Ground turkey bodybuilding OMAD meal:

1) Ground Turkey

2) Sautee Bell Peppers/Onions/Black olives

3) Half sweet potato base for my plate / 3 equal pre-cooked ground turkey portions

4) 2 eggs, egg whites, cholula

5) My spices, food should taste GOOD!!!!

6) Turkey, veggies, and spices, mix

7) Mix in eggs

8 ) Dinner is served

My go to meal, just change out the ground meat.

I feel like a little fatigue is setting in. People are noticing my leanness. I am a week away now from flying out to Pitt. Spending a lot of time this week getting things done so next week all competition focus. Still need to register for the show and tanning. Will do this Friday.

Just going to keep grinding. I like how I look but I think can look even better for the next show. I do like that I should not have to do any funny business to make weight. I really just need to weigh in under 176.25 to remain a MW BB and CP.

At this point, I plan to keep everything the same up to Saturday evening. Rinse and repeat. Sunday and Monday will have the same work outs but at 50%, same cardio and walk. Monday get my hair cut.

Tuesday AM early, body grooming before the flight. I don't want to take the grooming stuff up to Pitt. Likely a fasting day till weigh in. Carb up a little after weigh in. Cut water in the evening. Stay dry and have fun. Two days of competition.

You're leaner that's the game now. you push hard to get the tightness closer to the show. @PrinceDaddy stay VERY fasted and try dry fasting so you lose a lot of water, no food no water.

Definitely feeling peak fatigue and Texas summer heat. I am strong, but just don't seem to have the oomph or intensity. I know I have to do it and I do it, but I am dragging. There are days where I see the physique and some intensity kicks in. Other days I just seem to slow down, skip a few things, and run out of time.

Tuesday is a no fasting day so I do have meals thru the day. Tomorrow back to OMAD, and Thursday I just don't cook dinner but have the meals thru the day.

I can see the outlines of some glute striations. Unfortunately, a lot of loose skin around the handles and bottom side of glutes if I squeeze too hard.

Going to see Superman this Friday with my friend's family. Kind of stoked for this. Don't go to the movies very much and also have a short attention span so much harder to be entertained and escape. Hoping the movie puts me in the right mindset to finish.

Thanks all!

I woke up and had some good gastric emptying today. With the Reta, it does not seem to always happen. Not a problem for me. As I can still work out, not feel bloated or inflamed. Was wondering if I would get close to 170, but 171 is it.

So, I'm not fasting, but I'm not cooking a big bolus dinner on Thursdays. I had some watermelon earlier, boiled eggs, yogurts, protein smoothie thru the day. I just like to take that time to sit and enjoy a movie or show.

The grind continues. The fatigue is there, but just keep pushing. I do believe if you want to go somewhere you have never been, you have to press all the buttons, remain focused and disciplined, and hope for the best.

You look really good, actually your skin is tightening up by the day. Really nice to see you lean out mroe and more. Get the delts more pump too and pin your delts more. @PrinceDaddy
Fasting is something you should stay on and the gastric emptying, have you been doing regular probiotics and psyllium husk?

I feel good. I want to be more shredded. It is what it is at this time....

 

[RoidRage69]

It looks to me all you need to do is to be aware of keeping your lower abs tight while on stage. Just learn how to control it and you will look fantastic.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I think I look OK, but I have a vision. I'm not there yet. Hopefully, the second show I see it. I have been here before I want to go where I have not been.

Here's today's look:

I guess I am pretty jacked for 56, almost 57 year old guy?

 

[PrinceDaddy]

Ok, it's on....

Prince, you have successfully registered for the 2025 NPC Teen Collegiate & Masters National Championships in the following classes:

Men's Bodybuilding - Masters 50+ Middleweight
Men's Classic Physique - Masters 55+ A
Men's Physique - Masters 55+ A
Men's Physique - Masters 50+ A

The reason for doing 2 50+ Physique classes is the way it is split up. Also, I've come in 2nd twice in the class.
As you get in the older classes, the promoter merges height classes. Makes it more competitive. I am a short guy 5'5".
At these shows it comes down to who shows up, you don't know till you are there.

My objective is the Pro Card. Don't care how I get it. Thus, all the classes.

Total spent today
NPC Membership : 155.25
Entry Fees : 1248.00
Tanning : 165

Cha-ching. Let's see how it goes....

 

[ssgjpd]

You got this @PrinceDaddy, bring that card back to Texas.

I plan on doing that show next year as well.

Show Dates : 07/16/2025 / 08/27/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 170.0 lbs

After some gastric emptying I have a new morning low @ 174. Post Work Out Steam/Sauna of 170. Very close to the target weight. This prep has been awesome. I'm tired, suffering a little, but no where near years past. There is a lot of experience, but also the Reta/MOTS-C have been incredible.

Another struggle for years past was making weight for my class. Classic Physique for my height was 170. I would usually be several pounds over and struggle to make weight. 2 years ago they added weight so it is now 177. I don't have to do anything drastic or crazy to make weight. MW Bodybuilding is 176.25, so I just want to be under 176.25 lbs.

I do think maybe for the next show in August I try to come in as WW under 165.25. I still think my body has 5 to 10 lbs to shred. At my current pace, I should be able to nail it later in August. We shall see.

Here are some pictures from today. I feel like if I can really tighten up the lower abs, it looks good. A real struggle for me with my uneven fat distribution. I can see the legs sharpen closer to the glutes. It comes off from the outside in. I am 170 in these pictures below. Another 5-10 lbs off the belly, glutes, and handles, I think.

@PrinceDaddy I think you're brining the complete package to this show. I think 170-175 is a good weight, but next year try to go a lower class, easier to tighten up as you really shred for the show. You have the build, we just need more time to prep.

At this point I like staying busy and getting the work out volume in. However, no need to do heavy weight anymore. So instead of 2 45s on each side, I'm doing 2 25s. Basically staying between 50-60% of normal weight. Taper into the show. Muscle is not being built now, just maintain.
Tomorrow, will do back in the same manner.

No workouts on Tuesday, will be fasting after breakfast. Travel Day to Pitt. Weigh in around 5. Tan around 6. Dry out after 7pm or so.
Wednesday on Stage for CP and MP classes
Thursday on Stage for BB class
Friday return home

How it looks:

Almost time.

All workouts are done. No more gym sessions till Saturday. Started packing. Should have most everything, but will make a list just in case.

I feel good. I feel blessed. I don't know how I will do, I control how I show up, let everything else fall where it may. Last year was rough, I lost my father, I lost my job. I still don't have a job, but I did get some money from his property sale to tide me over till next year. In the time, I did get to spend quality time with my daughter. Watch her grow into an adult.

I am just going to enjoy myself. I look decent. I think I can go somewhere I've never been for the second show in 08/27. So, I will keep plugging along.

Thanks you all for you support and words of encouragement. It means a lot to me.

@PrinceDaddy we all go through tough times, that's why we have bodybuilding and the gym grind to hold us up.
Enjoy yourself at the show, have fun and post pics. always know that the EVO family supports and loves you, we are always here for you.

Step Count: 7K
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 10 Cut Cycle
Show Dates : 07/16/2025 / 08/27/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 170.0 lbs

After some gastric emptying I have a new morning low @ 174. Post Work Out Steam/Sauna of 170. Very close to the target weight. This prep has been awesome. I'm tired, suffering a little, but no where near years past. There is a lot of experience, but also the Reta/MOTS-C have been incredible.

Another struggle for years past was making weight for my class. Classic Physique for my height was 170. I would usually be several pounds over and struggle to make weight. 2 years ago they added weight so it is now 177. I don't have to do anything drastic or crazy to make weight. MW Bodybuilding is 176.25, so I just want to be under 176.25 lbs.

I do think maybe for the next show in August I try to come in as WW under 165.25. I still think my body has 5 to 10 lbs to shred. At my current pace, I should be able to nail it later in August. We shall see.

Here are some pictures from today. I feel like if I can really tighten up the lower abs, it looks good. A real struggle for me with my uneven fat distribution. I can see the legs sharpen closer to the glutes. It comes off from the outside in. I am 170 in these pictures below. Another 5-10 lbs off the belly, glutes, and handles, I think.

I'm back. This is how I did

CP Over 55 Class A Placed 8 out of 11
MP Over 50 Class A Placed 8 out of 11
MP Over 55 Class A Placed 10 out of 13
BB Over 50 MW Placed 7 out of 9. Evening 6 did not show up along with others so I moved up and placed with 6th place.

Here I am with my one award:

I'm kind of disappointed. You work so hard, pay so much money and don't place well. I do still enjoy it. I do feel like that I will really peak for the next show if progress continues as I have been trending. This should be considered my warm up show. This is a very competitive show. Many competitors do NPC Universe and NPC Masters with them being 2 weeks apart. Everyone has pretty much the same mindset, Pro card or bust. The conditioning is outstanding. I still enjoy it and will keep grinding. I'll post more details with a few pictures later in the week.

At this point, my biggest focus is to get back on track. Yesterday was a travel day and I did eat out of sorts. I don't think it was terrible as years past. I think the Reta is helping. I did have a big breakfast, 3 scrambled eggs, 2 sausage, potatoes, and Italian bread with butter. That plate was clean. I also had a few cliff bars, a king size payday, and king size peanut m&Ms. As soon as I got home, got back on my normal diet.
The focus today was just get back to my normal pattern.

So, today has been my normal Saturday, rinse and repeat of last Saturday. I have changed my target weigh in for the August show to 165,
I do believe there is still enough fat to lose and land there.

Here's how it looks today. I can still pinch an inch.

At this point it is everything and the kitchen sink. I will keep the OMAD fasting. I may throw some 36 hour fasts also. Just thinking thru the next steps.

Thanks everyone. Let's keep pushing.

In situations like this, sometimes you win sometimes you lose, it's not always perfect in bodybuilding you know that over the years.
The process and the grind is what we love, you push that way and prep for next show.

when i competed in both powerlifting and triathlons it was always about who showed. i knew if someone in my class showed up that was better then me then i would likely not beat them since i trained with a lot of the guys ahead of time. if those tougher guys didn't show i knew i had a chance. i would win 1st place in my class sometimes and other times i would finish way down. just depended so i get it @PrinceDaddy

Big weight drop today. Walking in 90 degrees will do this to you. I am still strong, keeping the weight the same. 315 squats, 225 upper body presses, 130 dumb bell rows and rdls. My focus here is to just to get as conditioned as possible for the next show. My back poses look decent below. Really want to get striated glutes. I want to be able to wear my suit on stage to highlight the conditioning.

My biggest problem is my front. My delts and arms could use some more mass. I have worked hard focusing on these areas. They have grown, but still need more. The other issue is the lower belly. That is where my fat concentrates. I knew it was a problem, and in the show pictures it is still a problem. I just need to keep pushing the fat loss and see if I can get more lines in the lower abs.

I am progressing towards the 160s. There is fat to lose. I think easily another 10 lbs.

Just keep grinding.

@PrinceDaddy you look good very tight. I think you can get more condition before the next show, but when you stepping on stage again?

For the front, next offseason you should work on shoulders and arms big time and traps thats your working plan there. You'll need to bulk more to get the mass in the coming offseason.

@PrinceDaddy you look good very tight. I think you can get more condition before the next show, but when you stepping on stage again?

Saturday : Legs / OMAD Fasting

Wake Up @ 174
Post Workout @ 170
Step Count: 7K
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 11 Cut Cycle
Show Dates : 08/27/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 165.0 lbs

I'm back. This is how I did

CP Over 55 Class A Placed 8 out of 11
MP Over 50 Class A Placed 8 out of 11
MP Over 55 Class A Placed 10 out of 13
BB Over 50 MW Placed 7 out of 9. Evening 6 did not show up along with others so I moved up and placed with 6th place.

Here I am with my one award:
View attachment 105375

I'm kind of disappointed. You work so hard, pay so much money and don't place well. I do still enjoy it. I do feel like that I will really peak for the next show if progress continues as I have been trending. This should be considered my warm up show. This is a very competitive show. Many competitors do NPC Universe and NPC Masters with them being 2 weeks apart. Everyone has pretty much the same mindset, Pro card or bust. The conditioning is outstanding. I still enjoy it and will keep grinding. I'll post more details with a few pictures later in the week.

At this point, my biggest focus is to get back on track. Yesterday was a travel day and I did eat out of sorts. I don't think it was terrible as years past. I think the Reta is helping. I did have a big breakfast, 3 scrambled eggs, 2 sausage, potatoes, and Italian bread with butter. That plate was clean. I also had a few cliff bars, a king size payday, and king size peanut m&Ms. As soon as I got home, got back on my normal diet.
The focus today was just get back to my normal pattern.

So, today has been my normal Saturday, rinse and repeat of last Saturday. I have changed my target weigh in for the August show to 165,
I do believe there is still enough fat to lose and land there.

Here's how it looks today. I can still pinch an inch.

At this point it is everything and the kitchen sink. I will keep the OMAD fasting. I may throw some 36 hour fasts also. Just thinking thru the next steps.

Thanks everyone. Let's keep pushing.

@PrinceDaddy Great job done bro....keep shining.......

PIT-EWR for vacation/wedding, then EWR-DFW after a week. This next trip will be a whirlwind. Flying from DFW-PIT and EWR-DFW. Will be doing an Amtrak train for PIT-EWR. Should be fun.

Wednesday : Abs / Shoulders / OMAD Fasting

Wake Up @ 174
Post Workout @ 168
Step Count: 21K
Androgen Rage : Low
Cycle Status : Week 11 Cut Cycle
Show Dates : 08/27/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 165.0 lbs

I am struggling with my workouts. Hoping things improve. I just don't have the get up and go. Just kind of tired and dragging. I am making progress. It could be just the grind, but it also is Texas heat. It's just a sea of hot air all the time. Not sure, but regardless, I'm 5 weeks away from the next so I will keep grinding.

The NPC North Americans begin on August 27th. I will register for the event August 22. I plan on doing blood work on August 22 as well.
I plan on doing the following classes

CP Over 55 Class A
MP Over 50 Class A
MP Over 50 Class A
BB Over 50 Welterweight
BB Over 40 Welterweight

Again, just looking at best shots for placing and potential pro card.

I would like to wake up under 165 at some point. Legs and forearms are vascular. Still have fat to lose around belly, love handles, glutes.
I am seeing some shape coming into the glutes. I just need to keep doing what I am doing.

How it looks today:

Grinding!!!

You said you're struggling on training @PrinceDaddy did you do a 2 day refeed post show?

 

[PrinceDaddy]

You said you're struggling on training @PrinceDaddy did you do a 2 day refeed post show?

I had a refeed last Friday after the show. Also bumped calories on Tuesday this week. I think this is just Texas heat. It is now overwhelming.

Just grinding. Looking at my physique, I see conditioning, but I still see fat to lose. I took pictures today, asked CHAT-GPT what my body fat was based on a few images:

Based on the two images you provided, you appear to be in exceptional condition with very low body fat. Your muscle definition, vascularity, and striations are clearly visible, which are strong indicators of a low body fat percentage.

Estimated Body Fat Percentage:

Range: ~6–8%

Rationale:

Visible separation and definition in deltoids, chest, and abs.

Clear muscle striations and vascularity.

Well-defined back and glutes (glute-ham tie-in is visible).

Legs show strong definition and vascularity as well.

This level is typical of someone preparing for a bodybuilding show or at peak conditioning. If you're tracking body fat for competition or personal goals, using a DEXA scan or caliper measurements can provide more precision.

Let me know if you'd like a comparison chart, body fat trends by age, or training/nutrition suggestions to maintain or adjust this level.

I would say 8-10 percent may be right. I am really looking for midsection lower abs to cut in. Don't know if I can do it, but I am certainly trying.
I really want to go somewhere I have never been. We shall see.

I will keep grinding...
