Marvels PSL sponsored log

IML Gear Cream!
I have more bloodwork for your viewing today. I’ve been doing a cut to get ready for a beach vacation and I upped my citrus bergamot to see if I could get my lipid panel a little better before my next blast cycle. I’m happy to say everything came back in the good range except for HDL. I do think if I would have focused a little bit more intently on bringing it up I could, but I just wanted to see what it would look like with consistent citrus bergamot use and a leaner physique.

I am also currently speaking with PSL about products for my next blast cycle. I’m currently ironing that out then as soon as I get confirmation, I’ll discuss that. Right now, I’m just looking forward to relaxing and taking a break. I already discussed with my coach that I’m stopping all supplements for a week, I’ll get some cardio and lifting but bodybuilding will be in the backseat for a week. I am planning on counting this as a deload then coming back getting in the groove then adding in the gear for a push into the holidays and pack on some size.

 
Looking big!!
 
Been a little absent the last few weeks. I had a weeklong vacation followed by mold removal in my house and having to replace a furnace. Needless to say, the last few weeks have been stressful. I’ve still managed to get to the gym at least 3 times, some weeks I don’t get the 4th. Nutrition is where I need to get back to usual. Not that I have been eating like crap, there have been a few more off plan meals. However, the biggest issue has probably been not eating enough. So, I have work to do there. Training wise I’m still progressing, and the weights are going up.

Also, over this time I got a touchdown from the best vendor ever, PSL. Next week I am starting a new blast cycle after 20+ weeks of cruising. Originally there was a mistake, and I didn’t get all of the gear I originally needed for the next cycle. As expected PSL got it fixed rather quickly and now I have a little gear porn below. The cycle plan is to use Test, EQ, DHB & Masteron. The test will be a little heavier than normal and this blast is higher in total dosage than the last. Total mg per week is close to the top of what I have done before but I’m excited to see what happens. Currently sitting at 235 in the leanest condition I’ve ever been at this weight. Ideally, I would like to get to 245 with the same conditioning, then I would start to feel like I might be ready to step on stage again. Most people, myself included, overestimate how much fat they actually have to lose so I’d rather overshoot the top of the heavy weights. Then, if necessary, I do Supers or cut more water to make weight. Being truly peeled is still one thing I am trying to achieve. Each show I get better but having more muscle will help me get there. Excited to show you the next phase in my journey and hopefully have some eye-popping update pics in the weeks to come.

 
I am currently in the 3rd week of my current blast. It's still very early on but there have been some small changes. The first 2 weeks my nutrition was off, so the weight jumped up from 230 to 236, however I am hoping to have a smaller change or stay around the same this week. Visually things look the same so it's probably just water and glycogen.

I did notice increased strength during the middle of the 2nd week. The way the timing fell was that my first week of the blast was on my 5th week of my training cycle. Week 5 & 6 of the training cycle is my highest volume weeks, that means there are 3 work sets at 100% intensity for every exercise. These are the weeks I judge whether or not I can move up in weight for the next training cycle. Week 5 (week 1 of blast) everything continued as normal with grinding on certain weights with some being at the point, I can increase them. Week 6 of training (week 2 of blast) every exercise was at a point where I can increase weight. This is rare for me because by week 6 I’m pretty beat up and ready for a deload when on trt. That to me was an indicator of things kicking in.

Throughout my history of using gear I have never had large swings of strength when on or off. Which I believe to be good because it would be mentally challenging to lose strength when off on trt. I’ve noticed whatever strength or weights I increase during my blast usually sticks around well on trt. I view it as solidifying my gains when levels are in a normal range.
The last couple months have been rough from life throwing us curveballs, but we have seemingly gotten through those so looking forward to having lots of progress as life hopefully calms down and I can really focus on BB. Huge shout out to PSL, a great vendor. As usual I will get bloods done at some point to show where my test levels are. Currently the plan is 4 days of morning cardio 30 mins each, 4 days of training and gear is 1,000 mg Test (weekly), 400 mg DHB (weekly), 400 mg Masteron (weekly) & 500 mg NPP (weekly). Now we are doing something different with this cycle. I just had some NPP left over so we are starting out using it but once it runs out I will be adding in EQ instead of NPP. Should be interesting to see if there is a noticeable change.


 
My apologies for the lack of logging the last few weeks. Life has been very busy around the holidays and work. It is an excuse, so I just need to be better about logging.

The last few weeks my weight has been pretty stable in the 233 to 235 range. This has been due to the busyness I referenced, some weeks I do good getting my meals in and some weeks I get busy/stressed and I am unable to get all the calories in. Just today I took my meal plan and condensed it down to remove 1 meal while spreading out the calories. My hope is that I can still get in my consistent 5-6 meals a day and with the meals being a bit larger I can get the calories in to get the weight up. I am the leanest I have ever been at this weight which is a goal by itself. Now though I would like to get up to 245 with this same leanness.


Currently I am using 250 test e x 4, 100 DHB x 4, 100 masteron x 4 & 125 EQ x 4. I mentioned before I only had a small amount of NPP, so once that ran out I switched to EQ. This has been nice because the volume of oil I'm using has gone done. Now I just need 1 syringe per shot instead of 2 injections, 4 times a week. Liking this cycle so far and plan on getting blood work in the next 4-6 weeks which I'll share.


Training has been consistently following the strategy of my coach. Now I have switched out exercises that either plateaued or I felt weren’t hitting the areas I needed. Strength has definitely gone up on cycle. Normally my strength stays pretty linear but this cycle its different. I could speculate its the DHB or it could be a synergistic effect of the whole cycle. Either it's been enjoyable, pumps have been good even painful on some muscle groups and my look during a workout is obvious as well. Honestly I'm surprised to be having these results at 37 while Bodybuilding is still a hobby. I know of I can get a few other things outside the gym optimized I'll get even better.


 
Looking good
 
This last week was not a good one. My daughter came down with the flu which means the whole family experienced it. Monday night I felt the symptoms start, by Tuesday I was on the couch or the bed with a fever or chills. So I missed multiple workouts, eat very little and missed some injections.

I got back in the gym to start my deload week on Sunday. In the mirror I look great, vascular and lean but I'm afraid to step on the scale. I'm sure I lost a decent amount of weight. This is going to be a long blast cycle so I should be able to get back to where I was and add weight but missed time can't be given back. The goal is adherence for the next 4 weeks then do some blood tests. I'll also need to contact PSL because I'll need more DHB. As I've said before I don't know how much to attribute to this product but this cycle seems to be working well for strength and after deload a large majority of my exercises will be going up in load.
 
Finally over my presickness weight. Hit 237 today which is a new high for this off season. I've been this heavy before but never with abs. Got 2 good consistent weeks of training in and everything is rolling for this next phase in my blast cycle. I'm currently running 1000 mg Test E, 400 mg DHB, Masteron 400 mg & 500 mg total per week.
I was discussing what labs to get with my coach and he didn't say testosterone level. So I asked and he told me not to but it. He told me things are rolling in a positive direction and he has no doubt my gear is legit so the level doesn't matter. If a coach of over 30 yrs calls your source legit then there is no second guessing PSL is good to go.

Looking huge brother. Great job especially after being sick. Keep it up

It’s been a couple weeks since my last check in and I have some updates. I completed some blood work which you can find in the picture attached. Surprisingly being on such a high dosage my estrogen came back in range with no AI in use. My EGFR came back on the low end of the range. After looking at some past results a couple years ago it was low as well. So I now have two more blood tests. I will get one called Cystatin – C which will give a more accurate picture of why EGFR might be low and I’m doing an advanced lipid panel since I haven’t done one of those in a couple years as well. I am still on a blast cycle and will be getting these tests done to see what really is going on in my body when on high gear. These are just to look deeper into results that seemed off. My coach gave me the option to ignore them if I wanted to but advised that it's better to have the full picture and know for sure. I love bodybuilding but I have a family and if I need to change some things, I’d rather know that early when things can be fixed versus learning it too late.
I was also running out of DHB so I reached out to PSL. The first order came from overseas, and something went wrong because this package was never delivered. However, being the great source, they are I let them know about it and they had the order reshipped domestically and I received it in like 3 days. I didn’t even have to miss a shot.

Lastly, things have been moving at an ok pace. I just finished some of my busiest times at work, so I know I was not giving BB my 100% focus during that time. I still need to work on getting all of my meals in, eliminating junk food and sleeping more. In the gym the light switch goes on. I can continually push, and I can see in my logbook progress is being made. I just need to get as good with the out of gym stuff as I am with the in the gym stuff.
