Bro genuinely this took me back, what a read! Impressive work, I will comment on this and share my experience in more detail with bloodwork accompanying on this thread when I have a little more time as would love to discuss this further with you and @Allupfromhere as both of your opinions on this were fascinating! Thank you for directing me there and for your insights into this as the discussion regarding mechanics is extremely interesting

I hope we can expand the thread if you can add it it would help @BigPassiveHulk

hoping for a speedy recovery brother

Thank you my brother! Should be coming good real quick!

I hope we can expand the thread if you can add it it would help @BigPassiveHulk

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.

@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

Offseason Week 38 – Blast Week 7

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:

• BPC-157: 1 mg daily
• PEG-MGF: 200 mcg daily
• TB-500: 2.5 mg Wednesday and Sunday

After next week I’ll likely reduce the 200mcg PEG-MGF down to EOD instead of ED and bring the BPC back to 500 mcg daily, but for now I’m feeling phenomenal and recovery is moving exactly where I want it.

---

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.

Great update as usual brother. That is excellent news on the knee. I will have to look into this PEG-MGF as your results with it are awesome.
Going to enjoy where things move to next now that this sorted.

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.

glad to hear the stack has done wonders brother
