Veteran Log PrinceDaddy 2024 Bodybuilding Log (Masters 55+ Competitor)

@PrinceDaddy how are you feeling? update the EVO family bro :)
 
Sorry I have been incognito. I had been so focused for the show back on Aug 28. Basically bodybuilding was life at that point. I needed to walk away for a bit. So what I have I been doing. Here you go.

No PEDs other than my doctor prescribed 200mg weekly TestCyp. No AI at this point either since I crashed my Estrogen for the show.
Last injection was Aug 22. Blood work was done on Aug 23/Sept 27. Blood work was actually a little better on Aug 23 vs Sept 27. Will post later in the week. I have been fully open with my menu at the moment. If I desire it I eat it. I would characterize it as 30% BB foods and 70% off menu foods. I am getting my full, I feel like it is causing worse bloodwork vs the PEDs and contest prep where my diet is super clean. I will clean up the diet some more just due to getting my full of some foods. October is my birthday month. I will turn 56 in a few weeks. So, I don't want to be restrictive yet. I am transitioning to better choices little by little.

My weight at the show was between 170-174. I do feel like I have been leaner on stage, but I was at 162 or so. This is a heaviest lean package I have had at show. I do feel like I made some gains this year.

I did keep my workouts and walks but just with less volume and time. I like to make sure I keep the habit but not have a specific goal in mind.
I did keep my 225 chest/shoulder presses and built up to 315 squats/deads. Actually got up to 405 this past weekend. At this point no goals, just maintain strength. I need the workouts to just be fun. Leading into the show the routine was monotonous and repetitive. It just felt like a chore. I need that beast mode to come back.

Weight was floating between 175-180 pre show. Right now weight is between 195-200. A bit fluffy.

Deep down, happy to have placed in 2 of 5 classes, but I want to do better. I want to improve. I have been pondering what worked and what didn't.
My biggest issue is my midsection. This offseason the goal is reduce the mid-section and increase the delts and arms. That would result in a more balanced physique.

The high for 2024 was probably the 600 lb trap bar dead lift. I am not power lifter, but there is something exciting about pulling that much weight of the ground. Blood rushes to your brain and you see stars or swirlies. It's a good feel. I think I am done doing dead lifts. I think it has thickened my midsection and just is not benefitting me on the physique stage. The definition of insanity is to keep doing same thing and expect a different result. I am thinking on what tweaks i need to make.

I will start my logging again with my thoughts. Full bloodwork should be available later in the week. I'll post with my thoughts.

Here's how it looks all fluffy....

Excited to get some workout and cycle supplements from N2BM, Need to build and keep that blood work in healthy range. This is called the health or clean up phase, right? I don't plan on any anabolics till next year around Feb.
Thanks @RoySimpson

On the job front. I am still looking. Many ghost jobs and few real jobs. Just doing what I can. Working on some certs, specifically lean six sigma.

On the dad front, still handling his Medicaid application, and now trying to sort thru selling his property,

The work continues.....

Previous blood work from 08/23 is on this post:
https://www.evolutionary.org/forums...-log-masters-55-competitor.97210/post-1597627

For contest cut cycle
Last injection was Aug 22. Orals ended on 08/28.

Since then, just my TRT dose, was finishing off my Test Prop 100mg
Aug 31, Sept 7,14, 21 (Test Prop 150mg)

At this point, I am back to my pharma TRT script for 200mg weekly with Test Cyp.

Blood Work was fasted and on 09/27.
LDL up, no drugs since cycle other than TRT script. Feels like the off season diet is affecting my numbers.
Tested on my Keto Mojo before going to the lab.
Glucose was 93, Ketones were 0.1.

20240927_p1.jpg


AST and ALT are still high, I did not work out this day prior to collection and was fasted. I did work out the previous days.
I will want to see this come down next blood work. RBC, Hemoglobin, and Hematocrit are higher, I would have thought I would
have seen this during the cycle. Instead it is afterwards. This is likely the open diet. I suppose better controlled when eating clean.
20240927_p2.jpg

I think the 150mg Test Prop may be underdosed and not quite my TRT script. I am back on my pharma Test Cyp 1ml 200 dose weekly
I would expect this to be in the normal range next time I do blood work. Thyroid is back to normal.

IGF is good for me. No GH since June. The highest I have ever seen is 194. That was the first time I used GH and was not cutting yet but eating clean.

Estradiol seems ok, low, but ok. No AI since the show. Don't plan on using unless i see need on the next blood work.
20240927_p3.jpg


PSA is usually not an issue for me.

20240927_p4.jpg


My plan is to run blood work again around 12/06. I don't plan to cycle till February.
I generally feel good. Joints feel ok. I have put on some weight and fat. I have been around 200 at this point.

My squats have leveled up to 405. My chest/shoulder presses are at 225. I am thinking I just dead lift a single plate now slo mo
Alternating trap bar and regular bar. Will stay at these weights with small increments if I feel it 2.5s on each side. Looking for rep counts of
8 to 12 with good form. Not interested in PRs or power lifts. For a guy my size these are very strong lifts. So, I feel no need to do more weight,
just slower tempo for muscle contraction and maybe some more reps.

These last 2 years for sure I don't feel like the energy burst anymore. I am having to bring down the weight and volume. I don't know if it is age or wear and tear, but I just don't have the same stamina as a few years ago. I do turn 56 in a few weeks. I am slowing down.

Goal is to increase delts/arms and decrease waist.

@PrinceDaddy I can see the bloods are overall average but some things like liver and kidneys need organ liver support on a higher level IMO

and the energy burst, you're getting older, its normal to have less energy, have you tried ostazol m1mk /cardazol pre training? :)
