I don’t know how but stronger on everything, while my bodyweight dropped with 1,5kg!

Maybe it’s the SLU-PP-332 but my energy levels are through the roof.

strong leg press 360 no joke

Maybe it’s the SLU-PP-332 but my energy levels are through the roof.

you feel the SLU PP is helping a lot?

you feel the SLU PP is helping a lot?

It feels like it gives you more stamina / energy. Where you normally would feel fatigue coming during a workout / cardio session now energy stays sustained

Quick update.

One thing that has been on my mind lately is my shoulder.

As some of you know, I previously dealt with septic arthritis in my right shoulder which resulted in surgery and a long recovery process. Strength has come back significantly since then, but I still don’t feel like the joint is 100%.

I have an appointment scheduled with the orthopedic specialist on July 22nd to get everything evaluated properly.

The strange thing is that my pressing strength is actually quite good at the moment, but certain movements still don’t feel completely natural. I would rather be proactive and get it checked than ignore it and potentially create bigger problems down the road.

Other than that, training continues to go well.

Current bodyweight this morning: 103.5 kg

Recovery:
8/10

Sleep:
8 hours


Current goal remains the same: continue building quality tissue and lean out a bit more, while keeping health markers in check.

I’ll keep everyone updated after the appointment.

Septic Arthritis!! What on earth is that!!??
Is repairable?

 

[rick-geurts]

Current Cycle Thoughts

A few observations from my current phase:

• Strength continues to increase gradually.
• Recovery between sessions is excellent.
• Muscle fullness remains high throughout the day (Anavar from @US-pharmacies for the win!)
• Cardio performance has improved noticeably (thanks to SLU-PP-332)
• Appetite remains manageable despite lower food intake (thanks to the amazing @US-pharmacies retatrutide)

What I enjoy most at the moment is the balance between performance, recovery and overall physique changes.

The goal is not to gain or lose weight as fast as possible. The goal is to build quality muscle while keeping health and recovery a priority.

Slow progress is still progress.

summary of today

 

[rick-geurts]

summary

Septic Arthritis!! What on earth is that!!??
Is repairable?

Septic arthritis is a serious joint infection caused by bacteria entering the joint. In my case it affected my shoulder and required emergency surgery (arthroscopic washout) plus intravenous antibiotics.

Fortunately, it is treatable if caught early. Recovery can take months depending on how much damage was done to the joint. I was hospitalized for over two weeks and spent many months rebuilding my strength and range of motion, but I’m back training again now.

It was definitely one of the toughest things I’ve ever been through, but yes, it can be repaired and recovered from with proper medical treatment.

you have multiple bacterial infections it seems tbh the best to fix it is try a full course of antibiotics @rick-geurts have you considered this on top of tb/bpc?

I actually did a full course of antibiotics. The shoulder infection was diagnosed as septic arthritis and required surgery (arthroscopic washout) plus IV antibiotics in the hospital, followed by oral antibiotics afterwards. The infection was successfully treated and my blood markers normalized.

The issues I'm dealing with now are mainly related to recovery from the joint damage and inflammation left behind, not an active bacterial infection. That's why I'm using TB-500 and BPC-157 as part of my recovery protocol. If there was any sign of an active infection, I wouldn't touch peptides until it had been properly evaluated and treated by a doctor.

Quick update guys.

Yesterday's leg session absolutely destroyed me. Trained with a training partner and having someone there to push each other made a huge difference. We took every working set to the limit and neither of us was willing to back down. Those are the sessions that remind you how much harder you can actually train when someone is holding you accountable.

Today I'm feeling it everywhere. Quads, hamstrings and glutes are all screaming. Definitely one of those leg days where simply sitting down becomes a challenge.

Push day is on the agenda today with a strong focus on chest. I'll report back later with the full workout and performance updates.

Time to recover, eat, and get ready to move some serious weight again.

Love BBQ time friend , good choice : )

 

[rick-geurts]

Good morning brothers,

Quick update before heading into another busy day.

Yesterday was a chest, shoulders and triceps session. Overall, I was very happy with the workout. Strength continues to move in the right direction and recovery has been excellent lately.

One thing I'm especially happy about is my elbow. The pain that has been bothering me for quite some time is gradually improving. It's definitely not 100% yet and I still have to work around certain movements to avoid aggravating it, but the difference compared to a few weeks ago is night and day.

It's always a balancing act. As bodybuilders we want to push harder every week, but sometimes being smart enough to make adjustments is what keeps us progressing long term.

Current stats:

• Bodyweight: 104,2kg this morning
• Training Day Calories: 3200
• Rest Day Calories: 3000
• Cardio: 20 minutes, 5x per week

The weather here is absolutely insane right now. We are expecting temperatures above 30°C for the next several days, so the BBQ will definitely be getting plenty of use. Lots of steak, chicken and lean beef on the menu. Perfect bodybuilding weather if you ask me.

Today's session will be back, biceps and abs with a strong emphasis on lat development. Bringing up back width has been a major focus for me recently, so I'm looking forward to getting after it.


I'll post the full workout later today together with some training thoughts, feedback and a shape update .

Have a great day everyone and keep pushing forward.

The BBQ is getting a serious workout this week too

What's your favorite bodybuilding-friendly BBQ meal? I'm rotating between steak, chicken skewers and lean burgers at the moment.

 

[rick-geurts]

Current macros on training days are:

Protein: 300g
Carbs: 410g
Fats: 80g

That puts me around 3200 calories. Rest days are slightly lower at 3000 calories.

I had to chime in. Favorite bodybuilding-friendly meal… Brined chicken, spatch cocked, cooked at 375 degrees yummmmmmm

 

[rick-geurts]

Today’s session was all about back thickness, width, and finishing things off with some high-quality arm work. The goal was simple: control every rep, maximize muscle contraction, and accumulate as much productive volume as possible.

Pull Workout

Single Arm Nautilus Pulldown
60kg x 15
65kg x 12

Chest Supported T-Bar Row
80kg x 12
80kg x 10

Incline DB Curl
17.5kg x 11
17.5kg x 10
17.5kg x 9

DB Hammer Curl
20kg x 12
20kg x 10

Leg Raises
3 sets to failure

The back felt locked in from the first working set. The single-arm pulldowns provided an incredible stretch and contraction, while the various rowing movements hammered every area of the upper and mid-back. The chest-supported exercises allowed me to focus entirely on moving the weight with my back rather than relying on momentum.

The pump was absolutely insane today. By the end of the workout my lats felt permanently flexed and my biceps were completely blown up. Every set had a purpose and every rep was executed with intent.

Leg Raises
3 sets to failure

The back felt locked in from the first working set. The single-arm pulldowns provided an incredible stretch and contraction, while the various rowing movements hammered every area of the upper and mid-back. The chest-supported exercises allowed me to focus entirely on moving the weight with my back rather than relying on momentum.

The pump was absolutely insane today. By the end of the workout my lats felt permanently flexed and my biceps were completely blown up. Every set had a purpose and every rep was executed with intent.

Very good training session, my friend — great job

 

[rick-geurts]

Boom, moving that weight!



So true, I want to push as hard as I can - but eyeing the long game is just as important.



Everyone is BBQing! I might have to do some myself



Great lift man!



Love the attention to detail - I have been doing allot of unilateral movements for my back work and I feel the same way.

Unilateral work has been a game changer for my back training. Better contraction, better control, and it really helps expose any weak points that can get hidden during bilateral movements.

 

[rick-geurts]

Yesterday’s back session went really well. I’ve been putting more emphasis on unilateral movements lately and I’m really enjoying the improved mind-muscle connection and control. The pumps have been great and it’s easier to make sure both sides are working equally hard.

Today it’s time for legs again. Rather than chasing numbers, the focus will be on quality contractions, controlled reps, and maximizing the pump. Sometimes it’s good to take a step back from loading the bar heavier and focus on making every rep count. I’ll be using slightly higher rep ranges, slower eccentrics, and really trying to keep constant tension on the muscles.

Recovery, nutrition, and cardio have all been on point, and bodyweight is holding steady while conditioning continues to improve.

Looking forward to seeing how today’s session goes. I’ll post the workout later.

Whooo leg day! My favorite day!

Solid move on not ego lifting - I got away from that a few months ago and I am reaping the rewards for focusing more on the movement than the weight.

Leg day is always a good reminder that the muscle doesn’t know the weight on the machine, it only knows tension. Since I stopped ego lifting and started focusing on execution, recovery has been better and the gains have kept coming.

Saturday Food Update

Keeping things pretty simple today, but hitting all the basics: quality protein, plenty of veggies, and meals that actually keep me full while supporting recovery and performance.

Meal 1
Thick bowl of oats topped with strawberries, whey drip and a generous drizzle of peanut butter.


Meal 2 (not shown)
Cream of rice, whey drip, banana and a generous drizzle of peanut butter. My all time favorite pre workout meal!


Meal 3
Steak cooked medium-rare, exactly how I like it. Hard to beat a good steak when it comes to both taste and quality protein. Sweet potato & spinach


Meal 4
Chicken and rice bowl loaded, spring onions, pineapple and vegetables. Finished with a bit of sauce for extra flavor.

Meal 5
Same as 4 just a little bit different vegetable (sour kraut)

Meal 5 (not shown)
yogurt bowl with berries and peanut butter before calling it a day.


Nothing fancy, just consistent meals built around protein, carbs to fuel training, and enough micronutrients to keep everything moving in the right direction.

Leg Day

Today’s session was focused more on execution, contraction, and accumulating quality volume rather than chasing numbers.

Lying Leg Curls
3 working sets x 10-15

Single Leg Press
3 working sets x 12-15

Leg Extensions
3 working sets x 15-20

Stiff-Legged Dumbbell Deadlifts
3 working sets x 12-15

Horizontal Leg Press
3 working sets x 15-20

Seated Calf Raises
3 working sets x 12-15

My legs are still carrying some serious soreness from the previous session where a training partner and I pushed each other hard, but I managed to get a great workout in regardless. Instead of focusing on moving the heaviest weight possible, I concentrated on controlling every rep, maximizing the stretch, and getting strong contractions throughout the session.

Sometimes those are the workouts that end up being the most productive.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Time to eat, recover, and grow.

Great update bro as always.

I concentrated on controlling every rep

This is important and you always are in sync with this, what does it feel like when you try super heavy or do any cheater reps?

Heavy weights and cheat reps are definitely the biggest triggers. As long as I keep the movement controlled and focus on muscle contraction, it feels great. I’ve learned the hard way that my shoulder responds much better to precision than ego lifting.

Rest day today.

After several solid training sessions this week, I’m taking the day to focus on recovery, food, and getting ready for another productive week in the gym.

One thing I’ve really been focusing on lately is quality over ego. The goal isn’t just moving weight from point A to point B anymore. It’s making every rep count, improving execution, and creating as much tension as possible in the target muscle. Since adopting that mindset, I’ve noticed much better pumps, stronger contractions, and less unnecessary stress on my joints.

Recovery is just as important as training, so today will consist of plenty of food, hydration, some light movement, and relaxing with family. The appetite is still high and the BBQ has been getting plenty of use lately, so there will definitely be some steak on the menu again tonight.

Bodyweight continues to hold steady while conditioning remains sharp, which is exactly what I want to see at this stage.

Tomorrow it’s back to work and back to pushing hard.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and making progress toward their goals.

Thanks brother!

That’s exactly the goal! Squeeze every ounce out of every rep and make the muscle do the work. The burn has been insane lately and I’m loving it. Rest day today, BBQ is fired up, recovery mode activated, and ready to come back stronger tomorrow. Let’s go!

Food is looking terrific as usual. @rick-geurts I like that you're enjoying your meals and you are putting together some good steak as well.

Absolutely. Oats, strawberries and peanut butter is a great combination of slow-digesting carbs, fiber, healthy fats and it keeps you full for hours. Hard to go wrong with a breakfast like that.

Thanks brother! I’m definitely enjoying the food while keeping things on track. The weather has been perfect for grilling lately, so steak has become a regular part of the menu. Makes sticking to the plan a whole lot easier when the meals taste this good.
