A lot of gyms have boxing areas these days.

My joints feel great. I really feel a nice bounce on my upper body presses. Instead of sore joints, I feel like I have rubber bands.
One more dose of HGH for tomorrow. These belly welts are getting smaller just annoying. Sleep was outstanding last night, very deep sleep still getting up every 2 hours but sleeping deep in between.
Always grinding.

I moved to pinning directly into the delts because the welts got so bad in the midsection.
@RoidRage69
I think I am going to change up the subq injections to the same schedule as the im injections. My belly feels like subq pin cushion.
Nice machine
@PrinceDaddy you have bpc157 tb going before this show?

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. My muscles feel good. I feel strong. The weight I am doing is very manageable. Great control on the eccentric and concentric movements. I am seeing some muscle maturity or freakiness in my delts. Will be interesting to see when more conditioning comes in. I can see where vascularity line is on my arm. just above the elbow.
I am starting to add hanging core exercises, low reps at this point. Just getting used to jumping and gripping I usually try to get to 190 before I do it, but I seem to be able to do it at 200. I want to start doing more pull up type of movements.
As I mentioned above, my abdomen has become a welt pin cushion. I have hair so you can't see it, but I feel it. The older welts are getting smaller, but every new injection seems to cause welts. I opened a brand new bac water and sterile wipes and I'm still getting them. I have decided I am going to switch the subqs to the im schedule (Sat/Tue/Thu), just double the dose and see if things get better. Last dose of HGH today.
Next week, Thursday is normal, but Friday will be in Iowa for college visit. Will be back later that evening. So, apart from Friday my schedule should be normal. Will use the hotel gym or maybe a local gym. Will be doing a lot walking touring the campus.

Workouts are getting done, but diet is a little out of whack. Family visiting in town so running around for visits on Friday and Sunday. Don't have time to cook or meal prep. So relying on boiled eggs, protein drinks, greek yogurt, etc. Also doing a college visit with my daughter this Thu/Fri.
I won't go off the rails, but I may end up skipping a meal. That happened yesterday.
Did my standard leg workout, seemed to go slower due to the adjustments to my schedule. These next few weeks with the travel, I figure something is better than nothing. Basically a deload.

I get it with meal prep its always hard @PrinceDaddy did you get some protein bars? those easiest to implement.
Nice update. I hear you when it comes to family being in town and how diet can get screwed up.
I think protein bars can turn into a domino food, eat one want another. Also more processing. If I can manage to eat boiled eggs or meat stick would be better for me.
Usually weigh in at wake up prior to heading off to the gym. Maybe the gut empties at home, maybe at the gym. Second weigh in is about 6 to 7 hours later. I go for a social walk with my friend.
I have one of those auto warmers, put 6 eggs and a little water, press a button and the eggs are ready in a few minutes. Easy peasy. I actually think I am going to take some boiled eggs on my trip late this week. No issues with TSA.
I keep forgetting to buy boiled eggs at Costco. I love those packages of two.
On her SAT she seemed to do better on English than Math. She really seems to love writing. We are thinking Creative writing/Psychology. It's hard to imagine that an 18 year old knows exactly what she wants to do in life. Only 1 of 5 actually get the intended degree, everyone else pivots. There are also many folks working with fields with degrees from other areas. I think she has some stem skills, but her preference seems to be in writing. We'll see what happens. I'm doing the dad duty...
On Sat/Sun post work out I sit in the steam and sauna.
Did not post yesterday due to family obligations / double post coming

Sunday Chest/Shoulder workout with my 2 plate or 225 standard. Worked thru my progressions a little faster than usual due to the family visit later in the afternoon. Been told my shoulders are coming in.
Monday is back but I also do some leg work with the chest supported T-bar row. As mentioned previously this is a new machine. I like the older one better. The weight felt heavier. Also a little harder putting it back on the notch when the plates are loaded. I don't feel comfortable with the other notch.
Pre-cooked 3 portions of ground beef 98/2. Used one portion and cooked with bell peppers/onions mixed with a sweet potato.
Two more meals this week at home and then on the road.
Looking forward to this trip!

Ah sometimes life gets in the way that’s for sure. I’m sure you’ll be just fine.

Feeling a bit tired this morning. Did not sleep as well previous evening. Still got the work out done. Weight looks like it is coming down a little.
Traveling later this week.
Dropped a new vial of test and broke it. Annoyed that it popped out of my hand as I was peeling the plastic on it. Oh well. Cheers to the lost gains. I feel pretty good on my compounds. No edema or adverse effects. Blood work set for next Friday or end of week 6. My belly is feeling better, subq injection schedule down to 3 times a week. Much better.
Eating ground beef 98/2 bell peppers/onions and sweet potato. Load the carbs back up for tomorrow. Upper body presses tomorrow.

1 set 205
1 set 185
1 set 155
2 set 135 Front and back on this weight, prob going to cut this to one set going forward
1 set bar front and back
I think the step down in weight is helping me getting stronger in the lift.
For the incline bench and decline bench
1 set bar
1 set 135
3 sets 225
1 set 135
1 set bar
I don't do dumb bell presses on the short day. Just compound upper body presses.
Tomorrow is a normal workout and walk day. I leave in the afternoon, so likely not posting for a few days. I'll do my Thursday injections prior to departure. I do plan on working out at the hotel or possible the student rec center at the uni. They have day passes. I'll get to make sure the gym is up to snuff before we tour it later in the day.
I have done local tours for the close schools but she was not interested in them. These are far and the tours is much more focused to admitted students.
I am genuinely excited. Hopefully some cool things to report. Will try to take some pictures.

We flew out Thursday evening. I did do some gym hunting prior to arrival. Hotel had dumb bells and some tread mills. 24/7. My window for the workout is still 4AM to 8AM. Hotel gym is 24/7. Called one of the local gyms. They have key fobs for members for 24/7 access but have hours for visitors starting at 9am-7pm or so. That was just not going to meet my window. Turns out the U of Iowa Student Rec Center is open to public for $12 daily pass. Opens at 5:30AM.
So, I woke up at 4AM, got ready headed over to hotel gym warmed up with some core and ab work. Left the gym around 5:15 or so. Dark and snowing outside, turning into slush as it hits the ground. As I got closer to the gym, it was quite a scene. All these people bundled up for the cold heading in the same direction on line. Very much like a March of the penguins. Very impressive turn out. The student body is disciplined and jacked. There were some ROTC, students, and folks like me.
3 floors, indoor walking track, pools. Several racks. I was in heaven. Did not have much time and given the new machines, I just kind of had fun doing a similar Friday workout.
A couple of pictures for my peeps
I really enjoyed the visit. It's ultimately my daughter's decision. We shall see what she chooses. I was good with the diet on Thursday. However Friday, at lunch we had access to a buffet meal at the cafeteria. Decent, not great food, but I did try several things. Definitely went off the diet plan. Later that evening at the airport, there was not much food at CID. So, I did do some snacky snacks. I will have to be a little better next week as I will out all week in NJ.

I would say feeling better, but I had daylight savings time, especially the Spring forward. I always feel like I am running behind and I have lost an hour. I did do my typical chest/shoulder routine. Yesterday for efficiency sake, I just had the Korean high protein bowl for dinner. This evening, had to run by and get groceries. So pre-cooked some ground beef 96/4, 3 portions and used one portion for bell pepper/onion/beef mix with avocado on the side.
Feels good to be back on my normal meals. Have blood work scheduled for this Friday. So will be a fasting day.

Eating a sweet potato mixed in with ground beef 96/4, bell peppers, onions, and 2 eggs. I really am enjoying this meal. I break out my 1lb ground beef to 3 portions so about 5.5 oz.
Slept a little late and got up at the regular time. I hat the time change but it what it is. I did not seem to drag and had a great back work out.
Did my usual, Seemed to move thru the motions a little faster than usual. Weight seems a little lower. Not sure if I am just dehydrated or missing meals. Maybe some fat loss?
Mostly starting to prep for next week, Out from Sat to Sat. Not sure about gym, I'm sure plenty of walking but limited gym time. I will take my Sat injections and skip the Tues/Thurs/Sat injections. Will resume on Sunday when I return. Looking to structure the trip as deload. Hoping to stay reasonable on diet. There are 2 schools we are waiting on. If she gets in we will likely take a visit. One is in Amherst,MA, the other in Oberlin, OH.
It's been a fun experience. She has great choices for landing spots. Need a decision by early April.
Will start shedding hair towards the end of the month.

@PrinceDaddy really amazing update I love the new place, interesting to see you really pushing it
I think you can get down in weight when you back.
That's really cool man that you're taking your daughter across the country for college. I'm sure she's eager to be away from home and a new adventure for her.
She has what you would call good to very good scores. Not excellent. We have been declined from 5 schools so far. Sometimes you just don't know what makes the cut when you are an edge case.
I have told her my only concern is get your degree. Not super concerned about reputation of school. Choose school for fit and success.
What an awesome place to train! Hopefully you are enjoying yourself brother.

I have to admit with the college visits, coordinating and planning, my workouts are not super focused. Just auto pilot. Hopeful after the last visit I can start concentrating on the show. Looks like there is a Planet Fitness nearby where I will be staying so I may get in some workouts there while visiting. I have never been, I'm sure I would set off the lunk alarm. The week should be a deload week so not planning anything heavy.
Almost complete with my dad's affairs, we sold his property back in Nov. Working with HR Block to get his final tax return. Then, I get to do the disbursement to my sisters and myself. Those funds should carry me thru this year.
Still apply to jobs almost every day. Once the kid has picked a school, I can focus some more on the job search. I seem to get a few callback from company recruiters but mostly end up getting ghosted. If need be I am ready to pivot and I'm much more open to just whatever I can get.
We will see what happens.
Good overall leg work out today. Eating same meal as yesterday. Rinse and repeat. That is the bodybuilding way...

I have to admit with the college visits, coordinating and planning, my workouts are not super focused. Just auto pilot. Hopeful after the last visit I can start concentrating on the show. Looks like there is a Planet Fitness nearby where I will be staying so I may get in some workouts there while visiting. I have never been, I'm sure I would set off the lunk alarm. The week should be a deload week so not planning anything heavy.
Almost complete with my dad's affairs, we sold his property back in Nov. Working with HR Block to get his final tax return. Then, I get to do the disbursement to my sisters and myself. Those funds should carry me thru this year.
Still apply to jobs almost every day. Once the kid has picked a school, I can focus some more on the job search. I seem to get a few callback from company recruiters but mostly end up getting ghosted. If need be I am ready to pivot and I'm much more open to just whatever I can get.
We will see what happens.
Good overall leg work out today. Eating same meal as yesterday. Rinse and repeat. That is the bodybuilding way...

As I get up in the morning, I say buddy get your ass up and get it done today. Next week will be interesting. Out of town will have to make to do with whatever workouts I can get. With 600mg Test/600mg EQ and 200mg Deca I need to take advantage. Body seems to be handling it well. No inflammation or edema. Water retention feels normal. Nipples feel fine. Strength is very good as well as joints.I see details coming in. I have friends asking when is the show. Still very far out.
Hopefully, I can be more focused next month.

Staying on track. My usual Thursday workout. I do wear my triceps out towards the end. Got my haircut and laundry done. Have most of the trip planned. Just need to pack tomorrow. Flight leaves around 5pm on Saturday. Thinking I will get up early and hit the gym and do as much of my normal leg workout I can squeeze in before I need to get home for the airport.

My posts will be limited going into next week as I am doing school visits with the kiddo all next week. Hoping I will get some gym time in. We shall see.
I did blood work today. I was fasted from 9pm evening before till blood draw at 2PM. So 17 hour water fast. I tested with Keto Mojo when I got home. No food yet. My fasting glucose was 102 and Ketones were 0.4. That seems high, the blood work will confirm. Reading it seems HGH and IGF-LR3 can cause low blood sugar. I guess my question is would it cause higher blood sugar. I absolutely did not have any food for 17 hours. I am deep in the cycle, so it will be interesting to see what the bloods show.
I was cranky this AM since I was only drinking water. No caffeine gum, nothing. I got the work out done. At this point, everything after tomorrow is hit and miss while I am traveling. Tomorrow I plan on getting up earlier than usual and trying to get most of my normal leg day routine in. I will do my normal Sat injections, but skip Tues/Thurs and resume next week on Sunday.
I'm excited to help my kid get sorted. She is growing up before me.
Will try to post with pictures when I get a chance.
Happy Friday peeps!

Partial bloodwork results are in. Glucose was 84. I guess I spiked in anticipation of a meal?

@PrinceDaddy I responded to the post above but to be real with you, I thought you had issues before when you couldn't complete a 24+ hour fast I think. You have blood sugar level issues, we should discuss them when you're back from the trip.
On the kid situation, great to hear, hopefully she gets what she wants in life and more.
I am back. I have some sort of stomach flu or sickness at the moment. Just trying to recover. Will elaborate on the trip later this week and get back to logging as well.
I got my bloodwork from 03/14. Overall it is what I would expect.
Weekly
200mg Deca
600mg Test Cyp
600mg EQ
My AST and ALT always run high due to my working out every day. The hemoglobin and hematocrit are going to be elevated due to EQ.
The testosterone is the highest I have ever registered. Previous high was 3868 Total Test and 1597 Free Test.
Cholesterol numbers look awesome.
The plan is to run straight thru the end of April, then switch over to contest cutting compounds.
More to come

Today felt like the first normal day back to working out. I am still under the weather. I think I got a stomach flu and discomfort. Diarrhea and nausea. Still feeling some symptoms, but hoping to be on the upside. I have lack of appetite. Just trying to stay hydrated.
The college week trip was fun. Great dad daughter bonding experience. Worked out Sat AM, flew out Sat PM. To NJ, Flight was connecting flight thru CLT. Unfortunately, flight was delayed 3 hours. Did not get to our destination till 3:30AM or so. Rough day tired, next day we drove out to Selinsgrove, PA for a overnight stay and a college visit the next day. My daughter had a great visit and this school is a finalist. Prior to departing we found we got into one of our other high interest colleges. So, next week we will be doing a visit to Cleveland, OH. We visited Seton Hall, Hofstra, and NYU. She liked NYU, but is not interested in going there. The other 2 were not for her. It was nice to be in the city. I tried to eat healthy, but the flavors and temptations of NYC were just too strong. Had to have some NYC pizza, bagel, Italian cookies and pastries and coffee drinks.
Wondering if my body is just detoxing from the food bump of last week. While in NJ, I did workout 4 times at my uncle's fitness facility. He was able to get me a 7 days pass. These were nice little workouts with decent but unfamiliar machines. BTW, in order to activate the pass, they take your blood pressure. I usually get some BP anxiety. I usually run a little high. It was 132/82 not bad. I imagine if you run too high, they don't let you join without a doctor's note? Also did get a lot of walking in the city and campus tours.
We returned the following Saturday evening with a direct flight. It seemed to hit me when I got home. I just felt like I had a hard belly. The next day the symptoms hit. I still worked out, but just did not have my normal flow. I am back on my cycle this week. I did skip two injections.
I would like to get more focused towards my show, but I do have one more trip to do with her.
