Thanks man. Up 41lbs from prep low and 36lbs from morning of USAs weight.

Honestly, I’m trying to stay laser focused on putting the size on where I need it to bring an undeniable package next time I step on the national stage.

My goal is 270-280 this off season, and I want to marinate at that weight for a while. I’m going to wait for my coach to tell me I’m ready before my next attempt, but my guess is potentially nationals at the end of 2026. Gotta get gyno surgery early next year too.

What did the judges want you to bring up?

I’m in the same boat with the gyno surgery man, shits annoying as fuck and probably gets a few points docked

Everything lol. But my coach and I have agreed main focus is adductors, quad sweep, and glutes. Obviously with added mass everywhere too.

I talked to the head judge, and I wasn’t docked this year for it, but he told me to take care of it, so it doesn’t hurt me in the future.

Will post my training logs for this week tonight. Been buried at work this week, and haven’t had a chance to breathe. Suffice to say we still growing and executing every single day!

Update:

No changes this week to anything per my coach. I’m still growing, so no need to put on extra fat by bumping my food.

I have a beard because of all the bloat from the gh, insulin, and carbs. It’s weird — I hold water only really in my face, hands, and feet. If I shave my beard off season i look like I belong on my 600lb life.

General update for anyone following — I’ve been feeling pretty shitty lately. The weight gain has caught up to me. I’m up about 45lbs from my prep low. Food isn’t that high, but my digestion has taken a hit and slowed down. A lot of my meals towards the end of the day are a battle.

Girlfriend had some serious medical issues, which she has finally recovered from. I broke my toe being an idiot lol.

Work is killing me, as I’m working crazy long hours most days now.

I have a client competing in his first show this Saturday. He works odd hours, so I’ve been working with him posing till midnight the past few weeks a few days a week. Combine my long work hours with getting my meals in and giving my client the attention he needs 24/7, my sleep schedule has been fucked. Sleeping 5-6 hours a night, which I can’t function on. So I nap at lunch, and I nap when I get home from work, so I can still train at the intensity I need to be.

I cannot wait for my work project to wrap up this week and my client to compete, so I can be back to normal and finally sleep adequately and destress. I’m still growing like a weed, so it’s hard to say if everything is affecting my rebound, but I can’t fathom that it isn’t negatively affecting my gains.

I think this is just the reality for bodybuilders who balance working office job with everything that goes into bodybuilding.

This post isn’t like the usual positive updates I give on my log, but I want to shine some light and be transparent into what goes on behind the scenes. Shit comes up, we do our best to prioritize what we need to be doing, and we push through!

I don’t want any fucking sympathy. That is NOT the purpose of sharing this. I want to just emphasize that life happens to all of us, we may misstep, miss a training day, get shitty sleep, have some medical issues — it doesn’t matter! Have a good circle surrounding you and keep taking the steps to reach your goals in bodybuilding, life, and anything and everything else you may be pursuing.
