I gotcha. I wish you the best man. Has your wife been tested to make sure she is able? I got my wife pregnant on a cycle of deca and test. When she told me she was pregnant I was like there’s no way it’s mine

shes been through the ringer getting checked out as well, everything looked good for her besides a small uterine polyp which she got surgically removed 2 weeks ago.
Her doctors are also optimistic that we wont have to go the IUI/IVF route

Alright ASF, Long time no talk.
Boy have i neglected this log.

This has been a very busy year with not much to write home about bodybuilding, PED, or training wise.

SO heres a little timeline for events.

I got married in September 2024

View attachment 376898

We are both over 30 and knew we wanted to have kids as soon as possible, so before the wedding i finished my cycle at the end of july and cleaned out completely, not even trt, and ran a full fertility protocol from that point until we conceived (that probably deserves its own post, but TLDR 50mg clomid ED, 2000iu HCG EOD, 75iu HMG EOD. Yes it was expensive)

My levels were shit and relying entirely on clomid and HCG to maintain my testosterone levels was not a fun time, i dont recommend it, but we do what we gotta do for family.

Thanks to the generosity of our friends and family's wedding gifts we were able to take a 16 day long honeymoon in thailand, which is now our favorite place on the planet and we will be returning every opportunity we have. Highly recommended if any of you have never been.View attachment 376899View attachment 376900


In June, I started my next side business. A specialized injectable amino and peptide product company that ended up taking a huge amount of my time and attention.

Up to this point I was still eat, training, and living like a bodybuilder, fighting tooth and nail to hold onto whatever size i could. I dropped from around 260 to about 235 during this time, but took advantage of the time off to address some insulin sensitivity and digestive issues that had begun accumulating after years of pushing so hard.
However, in July I had an accident that turned this plans upsidedown.


I broke one of me beakers and just got super unlucky and sliced the full length of my little finger and around, severing BOTH flexor tendons and all the muscle, nerves, and tissue down to the bone. The entire side of my finger was filleted.
This required extensive surgery and they were only able to repair one of the tendons, so i will never have full function again, but will be able to bend it fully in time.
Post surgery this required 3 months of in person PT 4 times a week and absolutely no training.
They warned me against even training my noninjured side or legs because just bracing and accidentally clenching my hand could rupture the delicate repair they made.

1/2

2/2

I had to wear this bullshit brace to prevent my from clenching or extending my wrist and putting tension on the repaired tendon.

This time not being able to train took all the wind out of my sails and I completely stopped the bodybuilding lifestyle entirely.
shrinking me down to around 213lbs at my lowest.

Fortunately i was cleared to get the brace off just in time for my wife and I to go away for our 1 year anniversary.
At this point we had not been drinking, and revolving our entire lives and plans around getting pregnant, and this vacation was a time where we were just spent with the process and decided to cut loose, sit on the beach and drink and relax without our sole focus being conceiving.
The first day we got there, the wife wasnt feeling well, so we stopped at a drug store and grabbed a test, just to be sure before we got trashed and sunburnt on the beach.

well....View attachment 376906


The world can be ironic, the absolute second we stopped trying and we get it.
Baby LittleTomJ due May 2026

From there on, after a few months to be sure that the pregnancy was viable (wife has had miscarriage in the past and we were working very closely with a fertility clinic at the time) I got back on trt and started feeling like myself again, and was cleared to start training again just before.

From then to now its just been a slow grind back to where i was, Slaving away at my day job, my coaching clients, and running my company.

Today im back to almost 250, training is as good as its ever been and strength is like i never stopped training.
Muscle memory is one hell of a thing.

Im hoping to be able to compete after the baby is here and weve gotten out of the newborn phase, so conservatively im looking at a 2027 show date.

Im gonna try and get back into posting at least some meaningful updates.
I probably wont keep a daily training log like i have in the past just because i simply dont have the time anymore, but ive missed being involved in the community so Ill try to give some weekly updates and milestone updates.


Missed you guys, happy to be back
-Tom
