Approved Log 2025 Off Season IFBB Cycle Log

Hey Guys,

R. here. Introducing myself as a @Core Pharma sponsored athlete. I've just finished up with the IFBB National Championships and Amateur Grand Prix and kicking off my off-season. Looking forward to logging the following over the next 6 - 8 months;

- Physique update pics (anonymous)
- Body weight
- Measurements
- Nutrition (with pics)
- Supplementation
- Pharmacology
- Fatigue/ sleep/ recovery metrics
- Weekly notes and upcoming changes

Check ins are done on Thursday, and I'll be logging weekly here on the Friday. Super excited to optimize pretty much every aspect of my off-season. This will be my second competitive season and I've had a few chances now to learn what I need to focus on.

Back pump piccy from peak week attached as a bit of an introduction!

@R. AP looking phenomenal. Pro level physique!
 
Is the ment just to raise your e2 faster to get you feeling back to normal or is this the compound you’re going to use throughout the growth phase? It’s my favourite compound but would like to know the mindset you are using with approaching it
Going to be using this throughout my growth phase :) Started it 5 days ago and have been loving it so far. My sleep has been interrupted, but I'm not certain whether this is due to the Ment or that I'm still SUPER hungry.
 
Alright guys, 5x days on the Ment and GH again now and starting to see some pretty dramatic changes. Here's a couple of pump piccies from todays arm session. Pretty much everything is up except for body fat. Food compliance has been 'good' but not great. Haven't missed a meal, but have found it a bit tricky not to snack on some dark chocolate I have lying around the house. Rebound hunger from the retatrutide used during the comp is not a joke lol

@R. AP you're like a true pro bodybuilder bro ;)
what rebound hunger did you get from retatrutide?
can you add info about your experience on the rebound to our retatrutide thread please?

Currently experiencing it now man, and it is BRUTAL. Food barely touches the sides and I can't stop thinking about food... I did taper the ret., but it should have been more gradually for sure.

Week notes:

- Struggled psychologically this week with the rebound hunger coming off of the retatrutide, and found it pretty hard not to snack. Snacks included LCM bars, sugar free chocolate mousse, dark chocolate, or extra granola. All in all, snacking was pretty conservative (200 - 400 calories avg. above program), though I did eat like an asshole on Monday night (Nutella Sandwiches and Oro Cookies), which really gave me a kick in the ass. Stayed up a few nights this week reminding myself what my vision for this off-season is, and why it's so important, and have been compliant since.

- Swapped jasmine rice out for spud lite to assist with satiety

- Sleep is still pretty average, and I'm getting the nastiest night sweats which I'm attributing to the MENT.

- Body weight sky rocketed with the introduction of the growth hormone, and the saturation of the MENT.

- Strength in the gym is exploding and pumps are nasty.

Next week:

I've just reintroduced the retatrutide and plan to run it for the duration of the reverse diet and my focus is on absolute dietary compliance w/ just one free dinner and dessert (untracked) with my partner and daughter each week.

Would also love to get some training footage for you guys as well so you can see the intensity and precision I'm trying for.


** Let me know if there's anything else you guys would like to see record each week **

Absolutely man - probably doesn't help that I'm currently reverse dieting but the urge to snack has been BRUTAL. Never experienced anything like it. Check my most recent update for notes on this week! I wrote about it.
