Andrewgen_Receptors' First Competition (Prep Log)

Andrewgen_Receptors · May 26, 2025

Show Date: October 18th
Current Phase: Week 1 Check-In (Post-Gyno Recovery)

I realized I needed a real challenge—one that pushes me both physically and mentally.

Am I happy with how far I’ve come? Yes.
Do I want to do more? Absolutely.

So I signed up for my first bodybuilding show on October 18th.

This show isn’t just about aesthetics or standing on stage. For me, it’s a tool I’m using to:

Build discipline
Master consistency
Get (and stay) lean

I don’t know a better way to dial in all three at once—so here I am.

About eight weeks ago, I had gynecomastia surgery.
I’ve been back in the gym for 4 weeks and dialed in on diet for 3.

Coach and I are calling this Week 1.

Last training log here.

Right now I am training High Intensity PPL (all sets taken to failure) with added emphasis on Hamstrings.

I am very uneducated on bodybuilding as a sport - tips are welcome.

600mg l-carnitine (daily)
250mcg MT2 EOD
*All injections done daily at the moment
5mg cialis (daily)
20mg Adderall XR (daily)

I had one refeed day with an extra 100g carbs, but it was unneeded. We are moving those carbs to be evenly split through every day and holding off on refeeds until later.

I cant tell if its me being retarded in posing or if its my camera, but i always look lop-sided as fuck at the shoulders when flexed.
Posing practice will be mandatory.

Extra long weekend is over... it was a nice break, but i got complacent with it. Gotta do better.

Was short on time going into this so i hit the most important parts. If i were better at resisting the naked lady in my house, I'd have had more time.

Sleep was horrendous Weds and Thurs night. Couple that with a stomach bug that hit the whole house and i chose to take a couple days off in recovery.

Honestly i was disappointed with my check in for this week and i was too much of a pussy to post it. I followed the plan, just had too many variables that threw off my progress. I'll post it later when im on a desktop.

Starting a "new" routine based closely off of Big Paul's advanced high volume program. I'd follow it as written but right now I'm not recovering fast enough to follow it as written. I'll increase the volume on it once i start seeing signs my recovery is keeping up.

Took a bit longer than i anticipated so i cut it short.

Lower back is pretty tight/cramped from those SLDLs.

All carb sources were swapped to low GI alternatives.
Bagel >> oatmeal and 75g fruit
Rice >> quinoa

We also lowered carbs and increased fats
C 250 >> 200
F 50 >> 70

These were all in attempt get my blood glucose under control. I'll also be starting up retatrutide tonight... going to start slow at 1mg/wk. Will monitor fasted glucose and likely start GH this coming week.

Started Berberine with Ceylon Cinnamon yesterday at 1200mg and 100mg respectively. Blood glucose was not responding to diet changes or retatrutide (might be because baby dose). Will have to check tomorrow for changes.

Scale dipped down to 213.1 so I'm finally seeing something happen. Mirror looks like it agrees with the scale today.

Check in tonight after i rake in some double time hours!

When I did Reta at 1 mg a week it took a couple weeks before my blood sugar came down on it.

Thank you, I was actually curious as to the delay timeframe.
Do you recall how much your blood sugar dropped as a result of 1mg weekly?

After a couple weeks I’d say an average of 15-20 only reason I stopped is cause it was really tough getting all my meals in and was counterproductive of being in a growth phase. I’ll prolly utilize it again when going into a cut

Blood glucose is still being difficult, but we’re waiting and monitoring. Retatrutide and Berberine should start making a dent here soon. When they do, its go time for GH!
Oh, and we’ve changed all carb sources to slower acting carbs…

Very surprised to see you’re not responding to Reta. I’ve tried all three GLP1s and have a sugar monitor I use every morning. When I’m on 6+mg of Reta a week it’s extremely hard to get my sugar up. If you can afford it in both wallet an appetite, and if your Reta is real, I think that’s your best tool. I believe Reta is the best sugar control available for most people.

Any chance you recall how long it took before it started affecting your blood sugar levels?

I haven't seen or heard any significant amount of data regarding that, so I'm trying to get a feel for it.

I bought 200mg of the stuff so I can go hard if I need to

Bronjohn · Jun 10, 2025

I’ll try and get some studies, I’m sure the phase 2 trial looked at it. Paul Barnett is an IFBB pro and diabetic, he does a lot of videos looking at his sugar monitor, and has one on Reta:

I take 8mg Reta a week but I came from Sema. People coming from Sema tend to have high tolerance. Reta takes time to build if you are micro dosing. If you titrate your dose up and have a glucose monitor, you’ll see it actually becomes hard to get your sugar up any more at some point. I haven’t seen a glucose over 100 this year.

I know a guy that’s taken 22mg a week. Couldn’t put down solid food for the week…. But he was fine and said he’d do it again if he had to lol.

Did what i had time for.

Scale holding strong in the 211's!
Fasted BG was 100 this morning - lowest its been in weeks. Gotta keep this trend moving.

Gonna be a struggle to get my protein in this week. I think the grocers mislabeled my beef... should have been 93% and it tastes like 96%. Tastes like chewy cat food. May substitute some of it for liquid protein or egg whites.

Did you mention who your coach is?

No sir.

He's competed a few times and knows his stuff, but doesn't really have the bandwidth to handle more clients, so he's asked me to keep his name private. Just trying to respect his wishes.

I am all for being supportive but…
If you have issues “giving fucks” now, have you considered how you are going to dig deep and find those “fucks” a few weeks out?
In case your coach hasn’t told you, LOTS of guys quit before even getting close to show date.
It becomes an entirely mental game at some point.
Last week, which was about 3 weeks out, I hit that point. Wondering if I even cared enough to bother staying the course. If your body doesn’t throw shit at you like pain and fatigue, your brain will overload you with doubt.
I have the advantage of having done this many times, being tenacious and stubborn as fuck. I also don’t have any “quit” in me.

Now is the time you prepare yourself. Not after you have wrecked your body and spirit getting close to stage ready.

The ONLY way you have success on the dais is by having a juggernaut attitude and drive.
It is patently obvious when you go to a show as a spectator, the guys who do and the guys who don’t “have it”.
October seems far away but NOW is the time to wrap your head around this.
Good luck and health to you.
