Gym was a little tougher today than usual - a symptom of front loading a lot of training for the week. Still got though all the movements. I thought I’d be a little wrecked today but I’m feeling fine and energy has remained consistent.
Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow, bjj only training Saturday and back here for an end of week update on Sunday![]()

You beat me to it @Alice_In_Ironland lol.
@Panda22 your composition is in a fantastic position to move in any direction right now.
Question you need to ask your self first is what is my immediate goal for right now.
Once this target is set then structure can be built around the goal. Then we understand why we need to implement or remove certain compounds, how we structure our macros and how we need our bodies to perform for us without bullying our bodies with AAS.
Ill scratch the surface with my 2c here.
If you are looking to lean right out i would shift like this.
Lower fats to around 50-60 and bring up protein and add some carbs on training days around your sessions. Rest days leave out
Bump gh to 3iu after being on 2iu for a couple of week. Get a feel for water retention and how tired it make you the following day.
At 2iu all pm administered you should be fine regardless. Utilise this for everything you mentioned and lypolisis (fat mobilisation).
Then we look to maximise insulin sensitivity the whole time. We want to turn your body into a furnace for burning food.
You’ve then got a drug like Reta, with the glucagon agonist that will help the body preferentially burn fat, increase caloric expenditure and increase metabolism.
Then you’ve got the Mito peptides, which all have singular roles and their own functions, and each have a specific use case of how to be used for the most benefit, but in combination they all upregulate the mitochondria, you know what happens when you make your mitochondria more efficient? Everything works better, better energy, body’s more efficient at using fat for fuel, better mental clarity, better health, do one google search about mitochondria are to understand why upregualting them is so beneficial for your body.
So if you create the perfect storm of having the energy deficit created, keeping health parameters perfectly in line, making it as easy as possible to break down the stored fat on your body, and be able to make your mitochondria more efficient you just create the perfect storm for fat loss. It’s what you get when you pair a good understanding of human anatomy and science to be able to manipulate your body into doing exactly what you want it to do in the most efficient way possible
It allows you to not bully your body into losing fat because you’re not understanding how to make it more efficient, it’s understanding how to make the body more efficient so you don’t have to bully it into getting the results you want it to get, which allows food to be higher, which allows gym performance to be much better so even in a fat loss phase there’s much more chance for either retaining or actually gaining gym performance rather then being in a steady state of it constantly declining
You pair being able to manipulate drugs and nutrition into making your body do exactly what you want it to do, alongside the ability to walk into the gym and train like a fucking animal, you can do some fucking incredible things to your physique.
That is how you set out a fat loss phase
At the end of this you could add in some anavar for a short amount of time to polish things out. But its not necessary in my opinion.
If your looking To build.
We see where insulin sensitivity currently is. Based off your composition it should be pretty decent as your already quite lean with good density.
Get the bg monitor as @Alice_In_Ironland mentioned and i would have bloods done on your hba1c also to see where things have been the last couple of months.
We still lower fats lol.
Once insulin sensitivity is where it needs to be. We begin to add carbs to push a consistent small surplus. As long as insulin sensitivity stays high and average fasted bg levels are low we can continue to add more carbs.
Keep the reta at low dose through this phase also and the mitochondrial upregulation there too as it will help your body continue to burn and utilise the extra food and help the body build.
Insulin sensitivity is a key player in either phase. Because at the end of the day what is insulin sensitivity? It determines whether the food we eat turns to muscle or fat.
Insulin resistance builds and intake begins to spill over.
We want to build for as long as we can until and maintain health as priority. You dont need the var here either if everything else is where it needs to be.
Save orals for contest prep.
If you have read all of this i take my hat off to you lol.
I have used L-car previously. IMO the volume and frequency needed for it to have any meaningful benefit makes it not worthwhile. Comes with high risk of site infection & scar tissue. Also if injected into the glutes for women, I’ve seen cases where it’s caused tissue damage leaving ‘indents’.Since you mentioned the mitochondrial peptides I’ve been doing a little more thinking about adding into my cycle to maximise the collective effects.
I’ve been considering either L-Carnatine or Mots C as an add on once the Reta is stabilised and starting to do its thing (cautious to not do everything all at once)
I was wondering if you - or any one else reading along - have any advice on which is the better option a who is a good supplier (in Australia of course).
From what I have uncovered myself I’m leaning more towards L Carnatine due to it being more sustainable financially and dose/volume wise whilst having very similar outcomes to most c. Although I did read mots c might have better overall performance outcomes.
Would love your insights!! @Allupfromhere
If i had to choose between the two its hands down mots c without any consideration.Since you mentioned the mitochondrial peptides I’ve been doing a little more thinking about adding into my cycle to maximise the collective effects.

Thanks! Daily pinning of that quality has been a consideration for me - I’m definitely not looking to add any dimplesI have used L-car previously. IMO the volume and frequency needed for it to have any meaningful benefit makes it not worthwhile. Comes with high risk of site infection & scar tissue. Also if injected into the glutes for women, I’ve seen cases where it’s caused tissue damage leaving ‘indents’.
Thanks @AllupfromhereIf i had to choose between the two its hands down mots c without any consideration.
However they synergise perfectly together.
You will get bored of pinning l carnitine fast i promise lol. You can take it orally though like a powder but to obtain the same bioavailability you would need to consume somwhere north of 3x the amount. The problem with going too high mg oral administration is it creates a byproduct called tmao which is linked to a number of inflammatory conditions.
Carnitine shuttles are the transporter of fatty acids to the mitochondria.
Mots c enhances insulin sensitivity, promotes fatty acid oxidation, increase carnitine shuttles and acts as an exercise mimetic to improve physical performance and metabolic flexibility.
This all happens the activation of the ampk
pathway.
This pathway acts as a central cellular energy sensor. When energy levels are low (ATP drops), it switches on pathways that generate energy, like increasing fat oxidation and glucose uptake, while simultaneously putting the brakes on energy hungry processes such as protein and lipid synthesis.
The goal is simple, restore cellular energy
balance. Because of that role, this pathway sits at the centre of metabolism, influencing how we adapt to training, manage fuel, regulate growth, and even how we age over time.
For me its mots c every damn time lol.
Hit up @Wolfenstein for the mots c say allup sent you![]()
Yeah sleep is very important! you need quality sleep to recover!Nothing worse than being scared awake!
reta and motsc don't have to be pinned daily that is the good news. same with hgh as it is a pulse.Thanks @Allupfromhere
That’s heaps of info!
While I am a little put off by the daily pinning and volume I have read that the combination of Reta, HGH AND mots c can risk an over suppression of anabolic signalling and glucose dips which may be further heightened due to intermittent fasting.
Having more info is really helpful in making a better decision! Thanks for pointing me to Wolfenstein too!!

Sleep is consistently good so far! Falling asleep isn’t taking too long and I feel that once I’m asleep I’m deep asleep and getting a great rest.

Feeling great!
Wasn’t sure about the training session this morning, they were all new machines to me which took more time from my session to set up and figure out. That being said some good movements I’ll definitely do again.
Appetite is still consistent.

I haven’t tried Mots C!Thanks! Daily pinning of that quality has been a consideration for me - I’m definitely not looking to add any dimplesI hope that resolved itself for them though.
Have you tried Mots C before?
Significant glucose dips would only be given opportunity to happen if nutrition intake isnt where it needed to be or meal timing was severely off. Hgh is actually causes insulin resistance and can allow a greater opportunity for more constructive fasting in the morning before you start your day of eating and insulin becomes more present.Thanks @Allupfromhere
That’s heaps of info!
While I am a little put off by the daily pinning and volume I have read that the combination of Reta, HGH AND mots c can risk an over suppression of anabolic signalling and glucose dips which may be further heightened due to intermittent fasting.
Having more info is really helpful in making a better decision! Thanks for pointing me to Wolfenstein too!!
I use the one off premium supps at 600mg / ml. I use 1ML in the glute, but I'm not too worried about scar tissue in the glutes. I can say though, it provides a huge uplift in endurance. Especially good for BJJ.OOhhh interesting you mentioned it. I was thinking of trying it, after i saw it on premium supps website.
I know some guys here like it, but it seems to be even love/hate amongst the guys.
Maybe its not worth it.

Very good! Had some very mild bloating feeling at the end of the week. Nothing concerning.
Usually I train a heavy bjj session Saturday but with the long weekend some change in plans so I hit the gym to start playing with sled push and pull. I’m looking to add a lot more of this into my workouts (where I can find time!)
Sunday was a shorter session than usual- normally on Sunday I do an intense conditioning session with kettlebells. Still got great workouts volume and intensity through the week. Next week will be back to the routine
I’ve attached Sunday progress shots.

Awesome, thanks for the tip! At this stage I plan to bump up to 2mg on week 4. So far tolerating it well and haven’t taken a hit to the appetite but am seeing a weight shift! My macros have tightened up too which has certainly played a role in it!Glad to see you recovered well from the hip surgery, friend of mine had a hip replacement and hers was a rough recovery.
Also cycle looks very good and correlates well to your goals.
If you develop sides or if you push the reta higher everyone ive advised to split doses into 2x pw has greatly reduced any sides, and stabilised satiety

Amazing. I did 10 years, got my black and then got divorced and left BJJ. I still remember everything and can 'talk about it' but if I was on the mats I have no idea how rusty I'd be... likely get tapped fast by a brand new blue belt LOLI’ve been at it I think 11 (long) years now![]()
Smart move getting this.Blood glucose monitor is en route
Haha "only". I remember an hour of BJJ being the hardest cardio I've ever done in my life besides selection courses in the career I had. It's absolutely brutal and you have zero choice but to get into the best shape of your life.Saturday BJJ only training
It's that icing on the cake to BJJ for sure.Nope never tried MMA, it’s pretty bad ass, I’d love to try it one day!
This is good, have you ever gone higher?No sides from HGH.
For me this is MOTS-C all day over Carnitine.I’ve been considering either L-Carnatine or Mots C as an add on once the Reta is stabilised
You won't regret adding psyllium it was a game changer for me. I'm up to about 20g with each meal, never been regular in my life until now and I can even digest carbs now whereas I was a carb hater for the past decade.I’ve now added vitamin c and psyllium husk to the daily mix.

Thanks @Panda22. There's a few Jitz guys on here one is going for brown soon and another blue. We get talking about passing guard and transitioning a lot along with Gi vs. No Gi. It's fun to shoot the breeze about those old days of getting choked out and everything going black and then hearing that buzzzzzzzzzzz and ringing before you start shaking and come to LOL.@HarleyGuy so pumped to have you along the ride!!
Thanks for taking the time to get caught up
It’s so good having another Jitz guy here, seems like there’s a few martial artists around the Evo family!
90 minute open mat is the hardest work - you’re right! I might have to stop saying “only”
There’s no hiding in BJJ. Epic that you went all the way through to black belt, I hope you consider giving it another chance when the timings right!
I’m at 3iu HGH currently which is the highest I’ve gone. It’s been a full week as of this evening and I’ve had no negative effects from start to now.
That’s awesome to know about the psyllium husk, now that I’ve increased carbs I think it’s going to be a good addition to ease my body’s response to it!
There no better sleep I swearThanks @Panda22. There's a few Jitz guys on here one is going for brown soon and another blue.

I'm learning on here that serious female athletes/lifters seem to be able to tolerate higher GH doses than the guys.
With the psyllium I cranked it up slowly until it was clearly too much then backed off until I figured out I can do 15g before each meal. For you with BJJ I'd recommend higher dose collagen peptide powder as well. Goes well with healing peptides for recovery (with or without the peptides too).

For collagen I used the word peptide because it's labeled this way here. On the tub it says Enhanced Collagen Peptide Powder. I take 30g ED so with you 25g that's perfect.There no better sleep I swear
Ok interesting. I’ve just started on a once a day dose but I’ll have a little look into how it might work for me if I’m having it around meals.
I was considering investigating the GHKCU peptide as an add on, is that something along the lines of what you mean?
I currently take a collagen powder once daily - it’s a Bulk Nutrients (Australian) product which boasts being a good hydrolysed high dose (25g perks serve I believe).

Sleep is still really good, what’s surprising me at the moment is despite the asking a couple of times through the night, I’m still waking up in the morning feeling really well rested. Previous having woken through the night would slightly stress me as I knew I’d likely suffer trying to wake in the morning.
Feeling
week two has been a killer week for me and I couldn’t be more please!
I’m feeling grateful all around for what I’ve personally achieved in training and for everyone on the forum who has engaged with me and followed along, taking time out of your day to read my log.
I’ve had some great feedback already and made adjustments - it’s incredible to have so many people available here with a wealth of information and a willingness to share.
I’m stoked for week three to start tomorrow!

Well from your pics you've earned it!What a compliment!!
Go for a double and keep your chin down so some frisky blue belt doesn't try the go-to guillotine choke on you LOL... it's like instinct once they're at blue to try and catch you with your chin up on a double but with your power just drive through those guys, you go girl!Haha exactly this! I’ve been working on more wrestling style take downs now that I can level change and have explosive ability (which pre op I didn’t have) and tell you what, shoving and shooting for a single leg I almost blast people straight over before I’ve even got the leg up![]()
Watch me up the sled weights and start cutting people in half!Well from your pics you've earned it!

Sleep
A couple of nights now I’ve had trouble falling asleep which is a bit of a pain. I try not to look at the clock so I don’t stress myself about how late it might be. That being said. I am STILL waking up fresh and rested. It’s a miracle
Feeling
Feeling great!
I’ve noticed some new definition coming through in my lower back when doing back engagement exercises (pull ups, the dual cross over, etc) which is cool!
Incline chest press was a challenge today and almost broke my spirit. I had assumed I could push the same weight as a standard chest press. Boy was I wrong. I had to google if that was normal or if I woke up weak
Other than that menti b I’m feeling great.
I’m planning going up to 2mg of Reta on week four. So far I’ve tolerated it really well and think I’m well placed but not yet saturated.View attachment 177988
