Good tip here bro.
Thursday Update : Traps/Tris/Dumb Bell RDLs
Wake Up @ 203
Post workout @ 200
Step Count: 18K
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 4 Clean Bulk Cycle
Show Date : 07/17/2024
Listening to the Omnadren podcast as I write this. Sounds like Sustanon which I have tried but did not like. Too much PIP, not sure if it was the short ester oils in the mix or the UL.
Rain and thunderstorms today so much less walking. A little on the gym treadmill listening to podcasts.
The heaviest top sets are the following
Full stack tricep pull down and overhead extensions with the curve bar and rope so all 4 variations. I usually start at pin 3, and drop 3 slots at a time till I get to the last pin. I'm not going heavier as I notice I will start developing tennis elbow. So I try to auto regulate and make sure I am not slamming weight and having good control.
Shoulder Shrugs with 130lbs dumb bells
9 standing (no belt, just versa gripps)
1 seated shrugs 130lbs dumbbells
1 set of Dumbell Pulls
RDLs
20s,40s,60s,80s,110s,130s.
I will do some lighter tricep work in between the heavier sets. Just trying to make sure I get range of motion, holds and stretches with the lighter weights.
On the diet, I am eating cleaner, just not limiting calories.
Pre-gym
coffee protein with PB powder and egg white
maybe a protein bar midway
Post gym
5 to 6 brazil nuts with vitamins
Greek yogurt
Lunch
Protein smoothies
Protein powder with egg white
Fruit and nut butter are allowed for now
Snack
Nuts
Oat Bran Sesame sticks if I have them
Dinner
small stalk of broccoli raw
Egg scramble or Ground Meat or steak or chicken with the an avocado
Post Dinner
Maybe a protein bar
Maybe another Greek yogurt
At this point, I'm not limiting the number of calories. I eat to feel full. Just try to eat quality foods. Not eating donuts, chips, cakes, candy, pizza, or cookies. If I overdo it, it might be a nut butter or nuts. I will start dry roasting almonds and cashews. I usually bag them in olive oil & rosemary and just roast in my toaster over for about 8 or 9 min.
Early May, I will get much more strict and eliminate the bars, snacking, and nut butters.
Rinse and repeat.
Happy Thursday peeps!

@PrinceDaddy you're pretty close to the show, do you want to be a bit tight on the diet?
and i dont think removing the bars is needed, protein bars are a must to get high protein especially you going into a big show in the FALL
imo your diet is good but I'd like to see your training a bit more negatives if you can
@Eddie Haskell The first show is July 17th so from today
4 months and 9 days
18 weeks
131 days
My target weight for the show is 174 as the top end of the middleweight. I am around 200 at this point. I am thinking
I would like to be close to 190 by the end of April.
from May 1 it is 11 weeks, if I am around 190 then with 1 to 2 lb fat loss per week should get me there. I will cut nut butters, fruit, protein bars at that point and become much more cleaner and less ultra processed. I also will employ intermitted fasting as I have done before.
I've been on the cycle for a month now, body is still adjusting to the compounds. I also want to push strength so I don't want to feel a food deficit at this point. Just eat high protein foods. Watch the sugar and carb content.
Those are my thoughts. May change over the next few weeks. I am also not grooming the body hair yet. Usually by the end of March, I start getting rid of the hair. That motivates me to work harder to see the details coming in.
Love the feedback. Thanks!
Squats still look good man

Feel like I have been waking up tired, but I do seem to get going once I get going. Today was my plate loaded bicep variation. I'm not ready to jump up and do the pull up version. I want to get closer to 190 and add that variation in then. Good pumps. Weight is ticking up. Definition is coming in on the arms and legs. Belly still feels bloated and thick.
Work was busy today, Some systems issues. Got my 2023 taxes done. I'm a happy camper. Knock one thing off the list and keep plugging along.
My cable curl is attached. It's funny how under some mirrors your arms look big. Others not so much. You need the pump for sure. Some people just have nice bubbly muscle bellies. Think Phil Heath, Arnold, etc.
Going to pre mix some Ninja creami later. Orange Sherbert and Mint Chip on tap.
Happy Friday peeps!

@PrinceDaddy thats not bad 174 but 4 months is not a lot imo. I think starting to contest prep now is the best idea 4mo 16 weeks out. Smooth into the show. You're so close and I think a longer prep will get you to the winner place.
Appreciate the insight, have been thinking about more work out techniques vs going heavier. More reps and negatives. I may change it up.
You are right tho better to be ahead of the target then struggle to get to the target. I may adjust the 2nd half of this month.
Thanks.
@PrinceDaddy I agree with you. You know from your multiple shows, and I Followed your logs for years, early prep is important. Early prep for shows makes the show easy.
nice update
Legit training updated with pics......
Don’t forget about me.And the Pigsy will be 55 this year.bigger and better than ever
Will be 55 as well. I’m telling you us Old Farts are taking over this board.
