Strong full-body session with balanced loading across compounds, good intensity for a travel day. Bench at 245 for 5 shows control, and 4x8 at 210 is solid volume, move that to 215 next week if recovery feels good.

Squats and rows are matched well for push-pull balance, and 270 for 5 is clean work at that ratio.

Good food level on macros but I'd like to see more protein.

What are yall including in a training pic? I’m almost always by myself when I workout.

Below is basically my limited stuff I have to use while on the rig. But it’s really enough for what I’ve been trying to focus on, the compound lifts with some accessories.

Im headed home today but its most likely just a short week off then back to work again.

Tommorow makes 4 weeks into the cycle. Scale weight today was 229.5. So down about 2.5 pounds from last week. Back to almost what i began the cycle at. Gained up to 234 now i've been slowly heading back down. I always like to see the scale change, but i've learned to pay more attention to the body physical changes instead.

Big compounds looking strong with the 315 lbs pull and 270 lbs squat holding good form under volume. Keep the overhead press at 155 lbs for 5x5 1 more week before pushing load again.

Meals look clean. The overnight oats and protein addition were a smart move for recovery. @floridaman1984

I agree on the 155 for overhead press staying there. I honestly think most of my lifts will be plateauing for now. Since i'm only home until this coming Monday. I'm going to change up my lifting program to fit some more gym time in, while i'm here.

Then hopefully I can resume my 5x5 when i go back to work. But we're bringing out a new rig, so i dont know if i'll have a little gym setup at first. I might be restricted to dumbells and bodyweight workouts when i go back. But either way i'll be active doing something.

On a sidenote, while i was gone my Ironmaster dumbells with heavy handle kit, i ordered a while back came in. I've had some 5-85 Powerblock Pro Rexans for years that have been solid. Just wanted the ironmaster for a more traditional feel on some workouts.

Good move holding the 155 on overhead press since that’s solid work for consistency. Adding more gym sessions this week makes sense before you switch back to the work setup.

If you’re limited to dumbbells and bodyweight, focus on tempo and high-rep work for pressing, rows, and squats. The Ironmasters are a good pickup, they’ll let you keep a natural feel when you’re away from the full gym setup.

@floridaman1984 check out my log on what i posted earlier today on protein bars. quest bars for example contain an incredible amount of toxic chemicals that should not be going into your body. my advice is make your own bars!

Bros. Be careful on overhead. I've seen too many people blow out their shoulders and you also put a lot of pressure on your spine. Remember, your discs can only handle so much, especially as we get older. @floridaman1984

Yeah that's true. Even though I'm old enough to know better I still let ego stuff get the best of me sometimes. Even though I know it's stupid. I just really like to see some sort of progression. But the smart way would probably be to go back to about 135 lbs and try to progress on more reps per set.

Maybe something like the old 8-12-8 method. Do a weight until you can do it 12 reps for sets then add weight until your back down to 8, work back up to 12 reps and so forth. Or maybe a 10-15-10.

It’s a lot better having the community to help keep you in check lol. I really just need to get better at mass food prepping. I just usually cook for like 4 people every time I cook so most of it gets eaten, and I don’t put back to much.

That is true. Food prepping is important.
 
4 week photo update. Most importantly after I got home from being gone for 3 weeks my wife said she could tell the improvements.

Once my skin tightens up some more, then it will be that much better. But I for sure still have a good bit more fat to shed.

@floridaman1984 Yes, the improvements are there for sure. You are winning this so far! Keep the foot on the gas though. I believe you have a tremendous amount of upside from here and you can continue to improve.

I would start to implement more fasting protocols, maybe try one meal a day, maybe try doing 24 or 36 hour fasting that will help tighten up the skin. @floridaman1984

Good chest and tricep session. The 250 lb bench single is solid and the 80 lb incline presses cap it off with clean volume.

That burger dinner looks hot and fits the recovery needs after those 19k steps. Keep that calorie bump steady through the heavier training phase. @floridaman1984
 
Well I'm about to be on my last vial of Andromix. I considered switching to longer esters for less pinning, and the sides have been a non issue. But since it's been 4 week not sure if should or not. Or just run the other vial and call it good.

If I did switch to the longer esters id just go another 6 weeks for a total of 10 weeks. I've got Geneza Pharma Test C and Tren E on hand.

You can finish the second vial and close the run clean at 8 weeks since sides are low and short esters will clear fast for an easy transition off. That keeps recovery simpler and avoids hormone overlap that happens switching esters mid-cycle. I think you should do what's easier for you with your situation.

If you really want to extend the cycle, you can switch to the Geneza Test C and Tren E for 6 more weeks to reach a 10-week total, but match total weekly mg to what you’re on now and pin 2x per week. @floridaman1984

@floridaman1984 I like those shrimps for sure. Shrimp is one of my favorite things. It's hard to find good shrimp though it's usually pretty rotten.

The best thing you can do when you go to those types of restaurants is ask them not to use refined oils in the food. That is a real killer when you go and eat at restaurants. @floridaman1984
 
Wasn’t sure how to grab a workout photo by myself so here is a short clip of squats at 275 lbs. A PR for me. Only did it for 5 reps then dropped down to 225 lbs for 3x10.

@floridaman1984 my advice on squats is do front squats and box squats. this forces you to improve your form. you will find it more challenging
 
I'll try to give those a shot. I've never tried either of those.
yeah cross your arms around the bar out front on the front squats. use just the bar at first and see the difference.

then on box squats put the bench under your butt and simply sit on it and then stand up with the bar

Front squats sound like they'll engage the core even more, for stabilization. But yeah. I'll definitely give them a try. I might walk back down to the gym around lunch just to try them.

I’ll just stick to 135 for a while. Was able to do 3x10. Definitely requires more stability.

Weekly update:

Scale weight was 227 lbs today. Down 2 lbs from last week. Don't really notice any physical changes, just on the scale.
Carbs low but that's good :D and I love those meal pics thanks for sharing.

you're doing 13k steps thats high cardio, all at work or gym too?
@floridaman1984
 
I've been eating overnight oats with protein powder, with my breakfast. But I'm sure i can slip some more in somewhere.
Yes I see it :D I mean double up if possible.
 
Impressive cardio level :D keep at it thats the path to getting lean. @floridaman1984
but your carbs need to go up slowly, can you add oatmeal in AM?

Yeah i can do that. Starting after tomorrow. I've got 1 made up.

I'll make another 6 tomorrow for 2 per day.

Double up lets see how you do :D
 
I've been putting just a small squirt of raw honey in with the overnight oats. I've considered leaving it out, I was thinking the berries are probably sweet enough on their own. But some of the carbs come from the honey also.

What's your thoughts on it?
Do you make your own overnight oats from scratch or do you buy the product you just add water and other stuff?
 
@kcates

16 oz wide mouth Mason jar

1/2 cup of Kodiak protein oats
1/2 cup or fairlife 2% milk
1/2 cup of mixed berries. Fresh or frozen
1 scoop of protein powder whatever flavor you like. I like the cinnamon or vanilla for this.
1 squirt of raw honey. I might be leaving this out in the future though.

I put the oats in the jar first. I blend up my milk and protein powder then add it to the oats and stir it. Then add the berries and stir it. Throw in the fridge then stir again before eating. That's it.

its not an issue have the honey in there with the oats, actually the carbs aren't the issue, its timing of carbs, AM best for them and pre post training @floridaman1984
 
Damn! Getting shredded! Andromix correct? I think i read you were running 1ml EOD? That's crazy in 5 weeks! Congrats and happy belated birthday!
Thanks Bro.

Yeah the Geneza Pharma Andromix 1ml EOD. I’ve been happy with it, basically no sides at this dosage for me. Small uptick in dreams maybe a little hotter while sleeping but nothing crazy. Also using Retatrutide.

That and lots of good nutritional advice from the members here. Good community for sure.

Whoaaaa brother!!! 5 weeks in and you have changed into a completely different man! I love this bro, it just shows pure hard work, consistency and commitment 👏
You need to pat yourself on the back mate because this change is crazy.
Stay locked in brother everything your doing is clearly working, keep the foot to the floor and the sky is your limit. Well done brother🔥

And happy birthday too! Should be taking a year off your age not adding one with that rig 😄💪🔥
 
Happy 41st bro. Anyone get you a nice square body Chev to mark the occasion?

Great progress shots. You've come long way bro. Looking forward to seeing you're 42nd bday pics in comparison.
Thanks Bro.

Man i wish i could find a decent one to restore. I just refuse to pay what people want for them now. I should've got them when you couldn't give them away. Oh well.
