Nice how you got lean and jacked at that height as taller people have a harder time.

I’m trying my best

Hey guys! Hope the week is treating you well. Sorry for the lack of updates. Been absolutely slammed working two jobs, taking care of my family, and trying to be a successful bodybuilder. On top of that lost a close family member this week so it’s been chaotic to say the least.

That being said bloodwork came back and I am quite pleased with everything except some elevated levels in kidneys and raise prolactin. With these results and speaking with my physician I am going to hold off on increasing my doses.

My physician is fine with me keeping current stack and dosing. The prolactin I believe is a result of using npp, which I dropped earlier so we’re hoping to see the prolactin levels come down on their own over time. However I am taking 100 mg of b6 to hopefully help it along.

In response to the elevated creatinine (no I’m not taking creatine) levels I am simply dropping hctz and working with my doctor to find a good replacement to help bp and be more kidney safe.

E2 was about perfect at low 50’s. So I will keep the ratio of test to primo the same. Still not using any AI. I honestly wouldn’t mind to get estrodial in the 60-70 range and see how I feel there.

New labs in about 3-5 weeks and then making adjustments from there.

Loving where I am. Gaining real strength daily and feeling better than ever. Really considering returning back to the old protocol of just test, promo, and gh, but I’m undecided. I’ll look at labs and go from there.

Enjoying this ride very much and have fallen so deeply in love with bodybuilding. Trying to enjoy the process and not be caught up with anything else.

Once again I feel like and alchemist and a warlock. Trying to harness all the magic I can in my supplements, nutrition, and especially my time in the glorious iron palace!

I

Cheers to all and I hope y’all are out there crushing it!

You look incredible, Big Snarf!!!
I’m very sorry you lost someone very close to you! That pain is horrible and I don’t have words to diminish the pain. I wish I did! Hang in there, Brother!
Creatinine is often just a reflection of extreme training. The harder you push the higher it goes. I’m sure you know this. How are your other bloodwork kidney markers?

I wasn’t aware that HCTZ was hard on the kidneys other than the obvious fact that it’s a diuretic which can cause dehydration. I assumed a low dose of 12.5mg removed no more fluid than what was being retained by the Anabolics? Triamterene blended with HCTZ(diazide) may be a better choice with its potassium sparing attribute? I am aware of HCTZ causing elevated glucose levels.
Have you looked into telmistartan? In theory it’s kidney protective. That said, there are studies going both ways, as with all studies on drugs.
I agree with you on the estradial. You need it for the synergy with your androgens to most effectively build the greatest amount of muscle tissue. A little higher estrogen may be beneficial.
Keep up the great work!!!

Man I can’t thank you enough for the kind words and the feedback! I’m sorry I didn’t go into enough detail to be honest.

I struggle forgetting to mention things every time I make these logs. My physician is worried about the use of my hctz (25 mg) so we backed off to 12.5 and now I’m going to remove entirely.

He seems to think that it could be unsafe for the kidneys and is just being precautionary. I already use 40 mg telmisartan daily. I happen to be one of the lucky few that has a family history of high bp. Seems like it’s only when I’m doing 1 hour + cardio in prep that I don’t have to utilize anything.

Also, I forgot to mention GFR was a 72. This was the tell tale sign for me. I think I just used tren during contest prep and it will just take some time. My previous bloodwork didn’t show raised GFR.

You’re the man JJ! Would love to pick your brain and hear more input.

I share with you the genetic high blood pressure.
Nebivolol seems to help my bp the most, but even though it’s a 3rd generation beta blocker with none of the erectile issues, it’s still a big step adding a beta blocker. My heart rate won’t go above double digits during cardio. The body fat still melts away just the same though.

Very interesting. For now I am hoping the cardio, hydration, ancillaries, and telmisartan can keep bp in check and ensure my kidneys are safe. Fingers crossed!

What is up?! Hope everyone is doing well. Just checking in. Weighing in about 275 and feeling like I’m making massive improvements in my back and legs.

Really just having the most epic workouts of my life. Every single session is like a human sacrifice performed on myself. Somehow I’ve found some magic to harness and push myself harder than ever before.

I’ve always used Dorian Yates’ “Blood and Guts” as my goal atmosphere to achieve in my workouts. I think I am finally capturing some of that spirit that Dorian had down in that iconic basement gym.

Lifting heavy is my passion and it is the epitome of bodybuilding for me. That is where I find my solace and where I fight my demons. I’ve never been more impassioned about anything in my life.

Anyways I have decided to drop the masteron and simplify the PED protocol. So next week I will be titrating down on the masteron and bumping test about 200 and my primo by 200. Once I start I’ll upload the exact dosages.

With all the sales Platinum is having its saving me quite a bit on quality primo. So this year seems like it will be much more affordable. From there, I just see primo, test, and gh as the most logical and optimal stack.

I also am holding off on the insulin. My blood sugar has been fine so I think I’m doing a good job of utilizing all my carbohydrates. My meals are so clean and diet is so low in fat. I think often times insulin resistance can be avoided simply by limiting saturated fats.

As usual I’m administering my PED’s daily so I will calculate my dose based on what’s easiest to draw up daily.

I’m so excited to see what I can build this year. I am happy and feeling better than ever. I hope this week smiles upon all of you and that each one of you are crushing your goals!

What is up guys? Hope all y’all are doing damn good! I am still just riding the buzz of my offseason. Loving every minute of it and feel like I’m progressing by the day.

I now have completely moved back to my old PED protocol. Loving how I feel and excited to make the most of my offseason while maintaining good blood parameters.

PED’s - Platinum Pharmaceuticals
• testosterone cyp 700
• primobolan enanthate 420
• gh 5 iu

The primo from platinum is second to none in my opinion. My blood work showed my e2 at a nice 52. Which proves the primo is doing its job!

While this may seem (to some) like a low dose I find it perfectly sufficient right now for my current place in offseason. I feel soooo good on primo, test, and gh. I honestly find that it makes my mood more chill. I try to be a very relaxed and kind person so I enjoy anything that seems to enhance that.

I honestly can’t recommend that cycle (from a good source!) enough. Simple, safe-er, and effective. Keep the sides at bay and reap all the anabolism!

Macros remain the same in the ball park of 6k calories a day. Loving the food. I am pretty stuffed but nothing like last off season. To be honest I’m enjoying (most) of my meals daily… all 7 of them.

I feel like we’re showing real authentic growth already and just two months post show. I keep riding the wave of the magic I feel with this beautiful sport of bodybuilding. Cheers yall! Much

love.

Solid man! Lets see some pics of what you are eating. 6k calories is no joke. I'd love to see what your meals look like.

Hell, I can post a picture of some. I posted my macros for each meal above. I’ve adjusted some to bring down protein and raise carbs. I will try to post that update in the future.

To be honest most meals aren’t anything actually impressive. 2 of the meals are chicken rice and greens and 1 meal of beef rice and fruit.

This season I haven’t struggled nearly as bad to get the food down.

Respectfully, that would be appreciated. I'm down to see your meal style and get some tips. Nutrition is the most fun aspect of this lifestyle, love eating.

Ok. So 3 meals a day are a meat (9oz) and 350 grams of jasmine rice. With that we have 50 grams of veggies and 100 grams of fruit of choice (mixed berries usually).

Hell yea!!!
Wouldnt call that low doses at all. It's not crazy but not low either. Fuck yea rock on. Sorry I'm new here, what's the training like?

Heya! I posted a workout plan on page 1. It is a variation of what I do. I am happy to send it through if you can’t see it.

I’ll sum it up real quick…

Quads/calves - mon
Push - Tuesday
Off - Wednesday
Thursday - posterior chain
Friday - pull
Saturday off
Sunday - arms and core

Every workout is about 1.25-2.5 hours long. Extremely intense. Usually consisting of accessory movements at the start of workout for muscle exhaustion. This is followed by compound heavier movements to failure. Usually for 2 top sets and an intensifier at the end.

I go hard as fuck and I train to absolute failure. I like to go heavy as possible while still maintaining perfect form and hypertrophy range of repetitions.

Hey guys! Sorry for the long hiatus. Have been stretched super thin with 2 jobs and full time bodybuilding. I’m definitely burning the candle at both ends but it’s all for a better future.

Anyways I hope all of you are doing great! I am absolutely better than ever. I continued weekly to crush new PR’s day by day. It’s been incredible.

current PED protocol -

• 5 iu gh
• 420 mast e
• 700 test cyp

Meal plan is unchanged. I have been adding in some simple sugars when I can. Doing this simply to fit in some more calories that are a bit more palatable. My conditioning has stayed at a decent place and am not showing any signs of getting too fat yet.

Workouts have been absolutely insane. I cannot express the level of intensity that exists in my workouts. I am screaming at the top of my lungs by the time I’m towards the end of my set.

Here is a bit of info on my current split…

Push - Tuesday

This is followed by compound heavier movements to failure. Usually for 2 top sets and an intensifier at the end. At the end of my workout I try to do some final brutal burn out workouts to really ensure every fiber has been murdered.

I go hard as fuck and I train to absolute failure. I like to go heavy as possible while still maintaining perfect form and hypertrophy range of repetitions. I am at a very heavy weight focused place in my workouts.
