Cardio
EOD Still same, 25min return walk to gym for HIIT cardio on bike
Supps
Still same health supps but have added for sleep:
2tsp lemon balm + 2 tsp valerian root & 2tsp passionflower + 15mg zinc
I do zero carbs on my off days from gym which I try to sync up to be the day before cardio mornings
pre-cardio:
1900mg choline (2 types)
500mg tudca
3mg yohimbine
600mg inj. L-carnitine
+
short black coffee
(From dom supersliced) When liver is depleted of glucose (about 24hrs ive found) choline and tudca flooding liver helps with visceral fat..so as I grow and eat more food, I want to keep my waistline as tight as possible
Digestion
Has been great actually, I'd say almost flawless
Gear
400mg test (goal is 750mg)
150mg primo
4iu gh 3 x week (goal is 10iu 3 x week)
1200mg L-carnitine (pre-workout or pre-cardio)
Reflections
Personally I believe classic physique is an incredible class
But the direction I want to go is bodybuilding
Perhaps I may be delusional, I'll compete in novice bodybuilding and U90 open bodybuilding
I'm aware I need to really grow, push food and try to increase test and gh while keeping health in check
My new goal is Season A 2027 which looks like April
I do see it probably will come around before I know it that I will be in prep
My plan is to really grow, increase my food, sit test at 750mg comfortably alongside 10iu gh 3 x weem
The choline and tudca combo will help me to keep viscera fat in check and switching to bodybuilding is where I feel I need to be but geez I have a lot of growing to do
Legs need to come up a lot I'm aware (zero filter) and will be practising posing 3 x week too
I like classic a lot but I feel my heart is with bodybuilding, I just hope my health can tolerate what's to come
