Awesome start to the log man. Thanks for sharing your story and all the detail. You definitely have a crazy story. This is going to be epic!
Nice start to the log
I thought I'd answer your question first. I've been away busy with life and trying my hardest to keep out of trouble as of late!.

No Regrets
•••
I'm convicted to make up for lost time. In my youth, I had natural gifts, hand speed was the greatest of them, but I let laziness hold me back.
When I went Ronin. I didn't train overly hard at all. I was still in the frame of mind of party hard(er-est), train harder (sorta), suffer later (nearly died numerous times). Until, I was diagnosed with cancer, that obviously came to a stop!
I need this Ceo. I need accountability. I need to shut my mouth. I need to do the work. I need this for my own personal sanity!
I'll be running the NPP alone for the first 6 weeks (R) Shoulder. It'll be the 7th week, that I'll add the peptides.

I'm still mind mapping @DofRandD training log, training regime and diet etc around my busy life schedule. I won't be long. I have until September 1st to get everything sorted for the challenge.

Aussie All Day Brekkie Diet
•••
I'm seriously looking at the 'Aussie All Day Brekkie Diet' first meal of my day over the 4 days of eating.
If my intake for the day is 2750 - 3500 calories. My first meal will be close to 1800-2250 calories.
Ezekiel or Rye Sourdough (Homemade Recipe).
4 Eggs.
Baked Beans (Homemade Recipe).
Beef Sausages.
Sirloin Steak (300g).
Zucchini Sautéed.
Hash Brown.
Button Mushrooms.
Bacon.
I don't like bacon nor pork. Not for religious reasons. Nope ... absolutely not. T'was that stupid movie 'Babe' about a baby pig that could talk and how it changed the lives of a small village town in England. It's given me PTSD.
Imagine a movie called 'Baby' about a baby talking cow! Freaking Hell.

Steroids in Muay Thai, MMA, Boxing
•••
Being around the sport of Boxing nearly all of my life. Muay Thai 34 years. MMA 28 years. I've seen and know of fighters using PEDS. Judo and wrestling too!
During those years. I was like and rather perplexed,'Don't Australian promoters test for steroids?'.
As a man of integrity. I feel guilt as I'm seriously will be on a PED Cycle because I know for a fact. The competition is on the juice too! As young as early 20's.
I scoped the Muay Thai 72.5kg Pro Division and I can tell who is and who isn't on it.
Came up in conversation the other day. The Mark Hunt debate! I do agree with Mark but I also don't. The reason being is,'If you can't beat them. Join 'em'.
•••
Reality
•••
Being realistic, I'd be a fool to think I can beat a man on natural organic supplementation? It's not going to happen especially not at my age!
I'd probably be stripped of a title if Muay Thai sanctions learned of my PED cycle. I'll be good with it though as it wouldn't have been the chemicals. It would have been the blood, sweat and.tears the hard work to prepare mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually for each and every one of the fights..Leading up to the moment.

Conclusion

PED Cycle NOW! Deal with the consequences later.

CBD Oil Therapy

Xgresearch has sponsored CBD/THC Oil capsules for recovery and sleep. Though Wolverine Healing Therapy does work. I still experience pain when I sleep on my right side. CBD Oil caps help leviate that.
Tilda said ask first CBD Oil maybe classified as a recreational drug under Evolutionary

Great question.

Erased
•••
The stigmata of being labelled a cheat. My name being as Champion erased. The legacy will become nothing less than a memory. There's a lot of light in the sport of Muay Thai but is there's also more darkness than there is light.
•••
A Troubled Past
•••
My journey with fasting is deeply personal and rooted in my experiences. Growing up as an orphan in the 70s, I was no stranger to going without food - it was just a normal part of life. I remember one time, I stabbed a 16-year-old bully who tried to steal my savaloy from my plate of mashed potatoes, cabbage, and tomato sauce. Yep, I was only 6 years old!
•••
Finding Faith and Inner Strength
•••
But as a child, I found faith early and as a Christian, I discovered the power of meditation and prayer. This helped me develop a deeper connection with my body and mind. Seriously, the times I starved were the times I would pray and cry out to God to make the hunger pains stop!
•••
Athletic Background
•••
My background in Amateur Boxing and Judo also taught me a lot about my body and its capabilities. With same-day weigh-ins and frequent competitions, I learned to listen to my body and understand its needs. This knowledge has been invaluable in my Muay Thai journey.
•••
Cancer and the Power of Fasting
•••
But it was my battle with cancer that really transformed my relationship with fasting. I tried everything to stay alive - including fasting, superfoods, and CBD oil therapy. I learned about autophagy and even attempted a 40-day water fast (making it to day 23!). I was inspired by Dr. Valter Longo's work and his own 40-day dry fast. Then there's Dr. Yoshihiro Nishi, a Japanese physician who reportedly did a 40-day dry fast three times under close medical supervision. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
•••
The Benefits of Fasting
•••
Fasting has been a game-changer for me. It's helped me develop mental toughness, clarity, and a deeper understanding of my body. During my cancer journey, fasting gave me a sense of control and empowerment when everything else felt chaotic.
Now, as I return to Muay Thai at 51, I knew I needed to tap into that same resilience and determination that got me through tough times as a kid. It's not just about physical discipline; it's about spiritual rebirth, self-reflection, and connection with my body. I want to be that kid again, who called upon God to give me strength when I hunger and training becomes intense. During the 3 days.
•••
Fasting & PEDS
•••
I'll reiterate that fasting while on a cutting cycle works for me tremendously.
1. Insulin sensitivity: Fasting improves insulin sensitivity, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of insulin resistance, a common issue with steroid use.
2. Hormonal regulationm. Fasting has been shown to help regulate hormonal imbalances by increasing the production of certain hormones, such as human growth hormone (HGH), and decreasing others, like insulin and cortisol.
3. Reducing inflammation: Fasting has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help mitigate the inflammatory responses associated with steroid use.
4. Autophagy: Fasting induces autophagy, a natural process where the body breaks down and recycles damaged cells and proteins, potentially helping to remove harmful substances introduced by steroids.
•••
First Meal: Collagen Soup
•••
For first meal Sunday 6pm. Bone broth is nutrient dense soup rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid, which can help support joint health and skin health. It is my goto first meal after a fast.
Beef Bone Boil Up.
️ Potatoes.️ Sweet Potatoes.️ Pumpkin. ️ Carrots.️ Cabbage.Instructions:
1. Simmer animal bones (beef, chicken, or fish) in water for 12-24 hours.
2. Strain and don't discard the solids. They're still good for a snack sandwich.
3. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs etc.
4. Add vegetables 1½ - 3 hours from serving.
5. Enjoy warm or store in the fridge/freezer for later.
Note: Remember to choose high-quality bones from grass-fed animals for maximum nutritional benefits.
Soup first 500ml - 1 Litre. I wait for 1-2 hours and then have the solids.

Conclusion
•••
So, fasting is like a reboot for your body, right? It gives your system a chance to clear out the junk and start fresh. And for bodybuilders, it can be especially helpful for getting ripped and improving overall health. But, you gotta be careful, especially if you're on a cycle. Steroids can already be tough on your body, so adding fasting to the mix can be risky if you don't do it right.
That's why I'm saying, if you're gonna fast, make sure you're doing it under the guidance of a doc or someone who knows what they're doing. And when you break your fast, don't just go for anything, go for something that's gonna nourish your body, like collagen soup or bone broth. They're packed with good stuff that'll help your body recover and rebuild.
And let's be real, fasting isn't for everyone. If you're already stressed, or you're not sleeping enough, or you're dealing with other health issues, fasting might not be the best idea. So, just be smart about it, and prioritize your health, you feel me?
a man of high morals, i disagree though bro it just puts you on a level playing fieldGreat question.
