Wow, I can't believe how cold it got in Texas.
I guess one more little cold snap and then you guys would be done.

Had my tricep bar once again. Makes my pouch heavy, but definitely much better for my elbows. Did my usual trap workout, 130 lb dumb bells. I also do RDLs. Everything is good. Joints definitely feel 100%.
With it being so cold, I have not been doing the outdoor walk. I have been doing the combat bike for 3 min and then walking 2 laps around the gym and just alternating about 6 to 8 time. Not going hard or gassing out, just keep moving. The other thing I have been doing is sparring with a freestanding boxing heavy bag and light gloves similar to below. This is a good change up. Vent any frustration with some hard hitting. Good cardio.
We have hanging heavy bags as well. I don't like hitting it as much. I can feel the vibration impact going up my arm. All the way to the brain. I get headaches. I feel like it would impact my lifting so everything within reason.
Thinking of fat oxidation, I feel like I need to find some form of cardio that would not impact my weight training but get me breathing hard.
I do like the combat bike. I can't really run fast due to knees.
Sleeping good, would like to sleep more. The oil based injections seem to be doing well. The water based peptide injections had been going well, but I seem to develop a few welts from 2 days ago. They have gotten smaller. I think it is frequent injections and maybe hitting the same spot. I understand diabetics get this with frequent insulin injections.
Another day in the books.

@caligirl85 I think in 2020 we had similar weather with a snow/ice storm. Also the electricity went out for 2.5 days. Rooms in our house were down to 35. We basically huddled around our gas fireplace for 3 days. Our hot water heater busted just as the power came on. It was an on demand hot water heater using gas, but needed electricity too. I have back up power battery I could take into the attic if it were to occur again.
I always think I need a waterproof winter boot. I will look for deals, maybe add it to my cart. Then say to myself. I live in Texas, 98% you'll never need it....
@PrinceDaddy honestly I would not do any boxing or hitting things before a show, too much issues of injuries. I would like to see you concentrate on oldschool walking up treadmill for cardio.
He’s all over it!!!

I have to admit I have been conditioned to be cutter and watching the scale go up always makes me think I am getting fatter. My weight is going up. I am still very much eating clean. From a calorie standpoint, plus minus 200 calories at most. My muscles are definitely fuller. My joints feel incredibly good. Sleep has been decent. I usually catch up on Friday evening. I don't feel fatter.
Today's core work was my warm up before pulling up the curl bench to cable machine and curling there with rope and curved bar. I also do singles with a rope and handle.
Still a bit cold to walk, so just repeated the cardio from yesterday. 3 min combat bike and 2 lap walkabout in the gym repeated about 6-8 times.
Also did some sparring as mentioned above. I like this. My hands feel great. I do breathe a little more intensely trying to keep my arms moving and the punches flowing. Have not recorded lately, I think I am going fast but when I recorded a few months ago it looked slow to me.
The peptide welts are getting smaller. Question for the forum. In my research, I recall water soluble peptides/HGH should not be combined into a single syringe. Was talking to a friend who combines his peptides and GH. I said I don't think you should do that. The peptides are delicate.
I think the only two peptides that can be combined are BPC157 and TB500. Thoughts?
Made an omelet with avocado for dinner this evening. Last serving of pre-cooked turkey for tomorrow.
Tomorrow is my intense leg day. Feel good.
Hopefully training and gaining...

Week 4 of the cycle begins. Joints feel very good. No edema or water retention. Weight is going up, diet is the same last 5 weeks. Nips feel much better with the tamoxifen addition. The only issue I seem to be having is the subq welts. I will finish the 5 unit daily HGH this week.
Leg workout was decent today. Got it done. I feel strong, but I am not pushing it, just going thru the motions. For grins, I did try something new today. I tried some methylene blue before my workout.
I can confirm your tongue will turn blue. I can also confirm it does not taste good. My pee is still mostly yellow or clear. Although the last one may have been a little green? I don't think I felt any effects from it. I will use it this week pre-workout and make a judgement. The one thing I have taken pre-workout that I know works but do not want to form a habit is Kratom, specifically Uprising acsend. I got some sample packets at my show last year and used it about month or two back. I just remember having intense focus at the gym. This is a good thing, but I've heard it can be addictive and I don't want to take something addictive.
So here is Dennis Wolf, Olympia athlete and current. He retired from bodybuilding, possibly due to health issues. I would suspect at present he probably remains TRT or TRT+. However when is fully blown up.. He has to be on variety of PEDS + HGH/Insulin. Just curious the drug load required to get that kind of mass. Former bodybuilders like Jay Cutler, Dexter Jackson both have this similar smaller more attainable look.
Both physiques are outstanding. Just interesting.
Happy Saturday. Chest/Shoulders tomorrow.

Ran my usual Sunday routine. 4 top sets of 225. I am doing less reps especially on the front military. Really trying to get more quality reps.
Had a boxing friend of mine give me some pointers on moving and sparring. For a guy in his 60s its very impressive. He barely looks 50.
He is light on his feet and light with the punches. I'm trying to find alternate forms of cardio that don't impede my lifting but also increase heart rate and VO2 max. Had to work around people so workout went long. Did the Meythlene Blue once again. Got the blue tongue. Really don't feel any significant impact. Urine most definitely turns light green 12 hours later.
Always grinding.

You're very close to the show, you shouldn't be boxing. Just walking on the treadmill is the best for you, no injuries. @PrinceDaddy

Warmer weather was back today. Got my step count back up. Feel pretty strong at the gym. Good session today. Pretty much a repeat of last week. We got a new Chest supported T-bar row. The older machine had some loose screws in the base. Apparently it had been stripped so they just got a new one. It is a bit different. The bar weight seems slightly lighter. The lower hand placement is not at the same level as the upper handle. This is the one we had
The new one is capable but does feel a little different. Still worked up to 5 plates as I normally do. Just have to be careful in the movement with unfamiliar or new equipment.
Pre-cooked 93/7 ground beef for the next 3 days. Cooked some leftover steak for this evening. Eating clean healthy is good.
The grind continues...

@PrinceDaddy 3 days meal prep is perfect bro
but how high is your fats vs carbs in the diet? as you're so close to pre
you doing medium fat high protein low carb?
or low fat high protein high carb?
I alternate between high carb and high fat days. Protein is always high. Not really paying serious attention to macros just yet. Clean eating with minimal processed meals.
You're so close to the show bro Imo you should start testing dialing in now even OMAD fasting @PrinceDaddy

Another strong leg work out this morning. Joints feel great. Strength is good. Focus is there, but I do have much going on so just making sure I get the work done. Next week will be out of town for two days for a college visit for my daughter. I have gym scoped out for a quick workout.
Warmer today. Got as high as 80 degees. Last week it was -5 or so. Did manage to get back to my normal walk with my friend. Was sweating.
Today, have felt exceptionally thirsty even though I am hydrating frequently.
On the blue meythlene, sometimes I will try to take a nap in the afternoon. This week I have not been able to sleep. I think my brain is going.
Not sure if this is certain as I do have much going on.
Weight is maybe stabilizing, muscles are fuller. I just need to get rid of the hair to see how it looks. I will do that towards the end of March.
Very annoyed by subq welts. Not sure why I am getting them. I only have two more HGH doses to finish out. I'm wondering if my bac water is the issue. Feels like if you are going to get bac water, you should get smaller vial 5ml or 10ml or less. That way you are not constantly drawing again and again from a larger vial like a 30ml. Feels like smaller vials while more costly better for hygiene.
Another day in the books.
