Yes can do!

tbol could have been dbol possible @GymEnjoyer your e2 is fine

Only of the bottle
someone in the original thread questioned how legit the Rohm was as the bottles looked different. also it came in green caps instead of tabs.

Just a short update today as @LevButlerov asked me to start logging meals.
Doing a 4 week OMAD fast to get down from 108 to 100 (or ideally just under)
Protein and carbs are up a bit but with the 23 hour fasting it should hopefully help with the fat burning.
Screen shots from my fitness pal with macros.

so what are your macros for the OMAD meal? @GymEnjoyer

so what are your macros for the OMAD meal? @GymEnjoyer

They should be attached as one of the photos but they are 1861 total callories split as 131 carbs 36 fat and 248 protein.

Yeah it is, last night was a struggle. I will likely reduce my reta dose to lift my appetite a little but and make it easier to eat.

not sure you want to do that @GymEnjoyer

 

[GymEnjoyer]

not sure you want to do that @GymEnjoyer

Mind if i ask why? too much rebound on the appetite potentially? also I wanted to ask about how you would recomend switiching to daily injections for test, should I just start after one of my bi weekly injections, or wait untill my next injection is due and start off then? First one I guess I would have slightly more elevated levels for a few days vs slightly lower levels for maybe a week or so whike I play catch up with the daily shots.

why do you want more appetite? you're cutting from the plan I remember, so thats what I am saying why cut the retatrutide dose? @GymEnjoyer we want high protein to keep muscle size but lower foods

testosterone you can do it, you want to do ED pins?

My thinking was if I let me appetite increase a bit it would make eating the one big meal a bit easier as I'm struggling to down 1800 cal in one go. Otherwise I could try splitting it into 2 meals but I would need a couple hours between them atleast so that would reduce my fasting time down to 22 or 21 hours atleast.

And yes I was thinking of changing to ed pins. getting a little bit of acne showing up on my back and shoulders and hoping that smoother hormone levels might aleviate that.

Hey guys, appologies for the lack of posts or updates in the last while. Life has been a bit crazy recently from work to raising a family, and then trying to keep on top of everything else. The weightloss has stalled a bit at 105kg but that's entirely on me, with everything going on there has been weeks where I have struggled to stick to my meal plans purely out of wanting to eat more convenient food due to a lack of time etc. But have lost 12kg atleast and strength gains and endurance have only gone up which is good. Cut back the gear a bit recently too, running 250mg test 3mg reta and 3iu hgh a day, and will be sticking to that untill I get down to around 95kg at which point I should be at a significantly lower body fat %, then will look at running a bit more and making some bigger gains.

Life will always be there brother. What we’re doing in the gym is just one part of it. As husbands, fathers, workers, providers… it all ties together, and that’s completely fine. Most of us aren’t career bodybuilders, so the goal is just to build a structure that lets everything work as one.

Something simple like a Sunday morning meal prep goes a long way. When your food is already sorted, there’s no need to rely on whatever’s on the go. It makes sticking to the plan a whole lot easier.

I like the pullback on the cycle too. 250 test is plenty, probably more than enough. Lean into the reta and gh and let the foundations do the work.

Don’t get caught up on scale weight either. It’s just one metric. If body fat is coming down and your performance in the gym is holding or improving, you’re doing exactly what you want. That’s a strong sign you’re retaining, maybe even building, muscle through the process.

Use this phase to really dial in your health as well. Get your bloods in a great spot, improve insulin sensitivity, and set yourself up for a longer, healthier runway when it’s time to grow again. If you switch direction too early, it’s easy to spill over and end up back in a cut.

Get yourself properly lean once, do it right, and you’ll likely never let yourself drift too far off again.

Good to have you back bro

Hey man thanks for the words of inspiration, life is definitely a thing that happens, I can tell myself that but hearing another person say it helps for sure. yeah as much as it would be awesome to be able to get paid to do this the guys doing it full time have put such a huge amount of effort into it I don't know if I'd ever be able to get to that point. I do want to get up on stage at some point though in the next 2 years though, just at a local amateur show. Thats essentially my long term goal.

Thats basically what I do at the moment, but im working shift work at the moment so 1 out of every 3 sundays im working and it basically throws my whole routine into disarray for a week.

The pullback was definitely needed, and I don't feel like I'm making less gains, just took me a bit of time to see on my own that at the stage I'm currently at all the extra gear was justing being wasted. So happy to make the change and.come back stronger and when I'm at a point whrre I can make full use of a bigger cycle then do that but not until then.

Yeah thats true about the scale being just one metric, it's a good one to measure consistancy I think though, to a degree atleast. although I do feel a fair bit leaner at 105 than I did even at 108, so it's very likely that while fat weight has dropped a bit, lean mass has possibly gone up slightly which makes me happy.

Yeah that's the plan, basically gonna just spend most of if not the rest of the year just making sure I'm sticking to the diet and putting the work in at the gym, get everything truely dialed in and then go from there.

Good to be back brother, and thanks again.

Sunday update time!
Getting back on the horse etc. after things slowed down a bit hasn't been too bad. Ive changed some things up (...again) to try and suit my work/family responsibilities a bit better which I definitely think has helped. condensed my 2 leg days into a single slightly more intense leg day which might be less total time spent on my legs but that would only be true if i was hitting every gym session instead of missing one or two a week. So back down to 4 gym sessions now which is more manageable, and means I actually get in there and get it done, plus im not feeling as stressed about finding time for everything. meal prep has been back on track, mostly. A couple of days this week where, for example, we were out for a friends birthday etc. But limited myself to a couple of decent quality sausages and salad. And another day where I didn't eat meal prep as I was in a rush so had to grab food from the super market, but both days I made sure I was still below my standard daily caloric intake of around 2k and had a bit of protein so that's something. Protein intake had been a little low but when I get my next order of whey i'm going to pick up some regular whey to mix in with my yogurt amd oats which should give me an extra 50g a day without increasomg calories by too much. today is also meal prep day, so will be getting next weeks meals sorted too. Dropped down to 1 prepped meal a week and the rest is easy enough to make up each day verses 2 or 3 prepped meals that while working rotating rosterer shift work just became a little tricky to manage.

Some screen shots of food and workout stuff from the week.

update part 2: Totally forgot to add a bunch of stuff so part 2 here
Weight wise I am down to 104 from 117 at the start of the year so progress has definitely been made despite things slowing down in the last wee while. Not where I was expecting to be at this point, but I didn't stick to my plan 100% so that's on me and is just how it goes. hammers home the fact that you gotta stick to the plan to get where you want so that's what I'm gonna do. Gear wise, dropped down to a much more reasonable 250g test, 3mg reta a week, and 3iu hgh a day. Currently running the last of my hgh so hopefully going to be getting some new sources sorted before I run out or else I'll have to drop it for now. Also stocking up for my next cycle, which will be test npp low dose eq for e2 management and dbol, although I wont be starting it until I've cut plenty more weight. low to mid 90's at least, which should put me at a much better body fat %. main reason for stocking up now is that with high demand on our 1 source lead times are a bit long and stuff potentially going in and out of stock etc. I'd rather just have it on hand for when I hit my targets.

good update dropping to 104 is a win EVO family support and love your way!

can you up your protein more? add a protein bar

test npp and eq not bad but why dbol? I would go with tbol or anadrol in your situation @GymEnjoyer

@Allupfromhere @Pigsy @waggat@Kopite67 @LH5515 @Yuri @bss

Yep will be going up to about 250 when I order more whey in the next few days. Reason for going with more whey powder instead of a protein bar or something similar is to keep total calories down in the long run.

Couple reasons for dbol, first off it's what's available, although that is likely going to change. And also I have a very close friend who is a solid body builder who suggested if I can get to a fairly low bf% I would see good results running it during a very clean bulk. But also warned against using it at a higher fat %.

you will get higher bodyfat with dbol and more water, at your size dbol is a bad idea tbh @GymEnjoyer

Yeah that's essentially what he said and that's why the plan is to not touch it untill i've cut enough. If I can get my body fat % low enough (which I will if I actually put the effort in) I will run it and if not then I wont. But wont be starting this cycle for a while yet so I'm giving myself time to get all my ducks in a row and be in a position to really get the most out of it.

Only got the 2 sessions in last week, but feeling a lot less sore this week and hit the gym yesterday for a another back and arms day and feeling great so will go again today after work for another leg session. Currently will continue on my current program, but thinking I might switch to a PPL program with a single rest day inbetween rather than doing 4 days and then 2 to 3 days recovery. Slightly more frequent but shorter rest periods might be the way to go in the future I think.
Diet has been pretty standard, added some chicken back into the diet for some extra protein so thats around an extra 70 grams a day. Photo of todays lunch for an example.

Got a bunch of new gear in from austar labs, wont be starting it yet but have everything there ready to go for next cycle once I've cut down to my desired weight.

Test
Npp
Eq
Dbol

Tested the dbol and that has shown as positive for presence of dbol, doesn't show the amount, but with their track record simply showing positive is plenty good enough.

Anyway back at it this week. Gonna make sure I hit every gym session, down to 103kg now so 8 more to go!

Only got the 2 sessions in last week, but feeling a lot less sore this week and hit the gym yesterday for a another back and arms day and feeling great so will go again today after work for another leg session. Currently will continue on my current program, but thinking I might switch to a PPL program with a single rest day inbetween rather than doing 4 days and then 2 to 3 days recovery. Slightly more frequent but shorter rest periods might be the way to go in the future I think.
Diet has been pretty standard, added some chicken back into the diet for some extra protein so thats around an extra 70 grams a day. Photo of todays lunch for an example.

Got a bunch of new gear in from austar labs, wont be starting it yet but have everything there ready to go for next cycle once I've cut down to my desired weight.

Test
Npp
Eq
Dbol

Tested the dbol and that has shown as positive for presence of dbol, doesn't show the amount, but with their track record simply showing positive is plenty good enough.

Anyway back at it this week. Gonna make sure I hit every gym session, down to 103kg now so 8 more to go!

@GymEnjoyer this is one hell of a layout right here. The exercises look fantastic and on point.

@GymEnjoyer I love this type of training and I love the gear that you put together. I've seen a lot of people stacking NPP and EQ lately. It seems to be very popular.

Bros, I love what you're doing here. Good volume on the training. If you're only hitting two sessions in the last week, that's okay as long as the volume is good. You'll get good maintenance. @GymEnjoyer

@GymEnjoyer Legit update on log.....give back time to recover......

 

[GymEnjoyer]

sunday/end of week update!
Thanks again to everyone for the support and motivation.
Diets been pretty on point during the week, weekend a different story but ill get to that, adding the extra chicken has been a game changer this week, the extra protein has been making recoveries feel much better. Today was my birthday, so reverted to fat ass mode for a day eating bacon and eggs for breakfast, followed by a big ass wagyu beef burger for lunch, and a thai beef salad for dinner. Definitely hit my protein goals but carbs and fat well and truely over too.
Hit all mt gym sessions this week as follows:

HC17.5kgx12/DTE7kgx12

Some lighter weight stuff done this week. lower back still feeling a little sore but mostly all good. I think my main issue is that my legs are a lot stronger than my posterior chain so whenever I load up the max of what my legs can handle on any exercise that puts stress onto the lower back, then it's exceeding what that part of my posterior chain really wants to handle. So that's definitely going to need some attention to strengthen up and prevent any injuries from occurring. Second issue or weakness is definitely my chest I reckon. not a great deal of strength there so that also needs some work although definitely noticing some improvement over the last month or so.

I am also currently working on a PPL program that I will be switching to soon, and hopefully going from purely trying to maintain muscle mass while I loose weight to actively building more muscle again, which should increase the speed that I lower my body fat%. I have attached a few screenshots from my workout app with what I have so far so any advice would be much appreciated. The plan is to run it P/P/L/rest repeat.
Cheers everyone!

Some lighter weight stuff done this week. lower back still feeling a little sore but mostly all good. I think my main issue is that my legs are a lot stronger than my posterior chain so whenever I load up the max of what my legs can handle on any exercise that puts stress onto the lower back, then it's exceeding what that part of my posterior chain really wants to handle. So that's definitely going to need some attention to strengthen up and prevent any injuries from occurring. Second issue or weakness is definitely my chest I reckon. not a great deal of strength there so that also needs some work although definitely noticing some improvement over the last month or so.

I am also currently working on a PPL program that I will be switching to soon, and hopefully going from purely trying to maintain muscle mass while I loose weight to actively building more muscle again, which should increase the speed that I lower my body fat%. I have attached a few screenshots from my workout app with what I have so far so any advice would be much appreciated. The plan is to run it P/P/L/rest repeat.
Cheers everyone!

Food is being tracked to a degree, I have meal plans that I've worked out with all the macros etc. And everything is weighed out so its always the same but I dont always log it in my app so I definitely need to get into the habit of doing that regularly.

Yeah I've got my fitness pal, even paid for the subscription so I can scan barcodes I use it a lot when im making meals as the automatic macro calculation when you're adding all your ingredients is really helpful. Just need actually log my meals more frequently.
