Hope your good brother. I know how these things feel…

 

[Wardamn]

Not the result I wanted but proud of the package we brought. Landed center of second callouts in a 17 person class. Will give a more detailed update after I process everything.

Congratulations on your 1st national show. Onwards and upwards!

No matter the result you absolutely crushed it and it’s been amazing following along with this log. I’m sure you’ve inspired a lot of guys here!

Nice bud proud of you
Enjoy yourself

 

[Ckmeter]

Alright everyone time for the update. So I placed 12th. I got moved to the center of second callouts (9th or 10th) for comparisons, but it appears I didn’t compare well and was moved back.

Overall, my coach and judge feedback is consistent, as well as my overall sentiment about the package we brought — I just need more tissue everywhere, but primarily the adductors and glutes. I also need my gyno cut out (surgery will be likely in February of 2026 times with a health phase)

As I weighed in at 218.0 for USAs and I believe 219.0 for the warmup, I have roughly 14lbs of tissue I can put on. Now this was carbed up slightly for check ins. My prep low was 211.2. So theoretically could deplete into check ins if they are early enough to car back up and put on 20lbs of tissue and still make weight.

I was probably one of if not the most conditioned guy in class D, so I’m extremely proud of that. My posing is night and day improved, as well as my stage confidence and presence. Thank you to propranolol for fixing my sweating issue on stage and nerves.

We got a fantastic amount of data from these shows, and my Coach learned how much food it takes me to fill back out. He mentioned next show he’s gonna have me get up at 3am and pound burgers before show day lol.

We were still on the flat side, but my coach is conservative and did not want me to spill or look soft. Considering how out muscled I was, we just wanted to bring condition on point.

The plan is rebound hard for 6-8 weeks. Then take a very long health phase. Then into a heavy off season! I will not step on stage again until I fill out my frame.

The rebound stack is:
1250 test e
600 npp
50 var
6iu hgh
100mcg t4

Can share the diet if you guys are interested. I had some wonderful off plan meals and food post show and yesterday, but I’m back 100% on plan today.

I’m not sure if getting the tan irritated a stretch mark under my armpit or if I retore my pec, but I have some swelling and bruising under my armpit from who knows what. I’m going to take a few days off pec training and see how it feels.

Massive thank you to the entire Stada team and @StadaGear and @StadaLabs. I am so blessed to have had your support, and you guys are the kindest, most generous people I’ve met in the bodybuilding world. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m sorry I let you guys down and didn’t walk away with the pro card. I will be undeniable the next time I step on stage. Your support has made this prep truly special, and I’ve absolutely loved posting my log updates and showing everyone what my prep looked liked.

 

[Wardamn]

Congratulations on the 1st national show. That's a big step up. Can't wait to see that extra 15lbs of muscle. It will make all the difference.

 

[Ckmeter]

This was my favorite look. It was post in n out between prejudging and finals at USAs. I really wish we had brought this level of fullness to prejudging, but it’s all just data for improvement.

 

[Wardamn]

Is Justin programming all of your training in the rebound and off-season?

 

[Ckmeter]

Is Justin programming all of your training in the rebound and off-season?

Sort of. I don’t follow his training exactly, as his volume is insanely high. We are talking like 30-40 sets per muscle per day.

I follow his general structure and intensity but just remove some working sets based on how I feel. I got mild rhabdo when I did his training last off season lol.

He gave me a game plan for bringing up glutes adductors and hams, so we are going to try it today. Basically the plan is to start with hip thrusts and then do inners and outers before my standard leg day, to pre exhaust those lagging body parts.

If that doesn’t seem to be enough or cause me to be sore there, I plan to have a dedicated glute, ham, adductor day that he will be programming and I will be following to a t

Yeah, I know Justin loves his volume, lol.

I've had some good luck with guys and growing adductors using wider stance toes out belt squats as a compound.

 

[Mr. Stellar]

You didn’t let anyone down brother! Your log was amazing and very detailed down to every last thing! I always look at a 1st show as a test on what to bring next time. So take what you have learned improve and win the next one!

Very proud of what you did amigo

Rebound has been off to an interesting start. Got sick Friday before USAs and been battling a nasty virus. Holding a good bit of water, illness is definitely responsible for some of it.

Sticking to the plan and just riding it out. Weight is up quite a bit. Woke up around 233.5 this am. Here was post chest day posing tonight.

Update:

I have been fighting off covid since the Friday before the USAs. It’s been a bit miserable. Sleeping most of the day and dragging ass through the gym last week. I’m about 90% recovered finally.

I lowered my training to 2 days on 1 day off until I recover. Eating on plan and getting my cardio in. Had a ton of water retention that has finally come off thankfully due to Covid.

Hoping Compton gives me some flexibility with 1-2 cheats a week, but for now, I’m not going to ask, as I want to maximize this rebound and grow.

Glutes and adductors are my focus, along with tissue everywhere. We are starting my leg day with hip thrusts and inners/outers. Already have new adductor stretch marks and my glutes get SORE.

Really excited to grow this off season and become undeniable next time I step on stage.

 

[ERock5]

Let’s go bro! Time to grow!

That shit has been going around the last few weeks. Get well

Should be a fun off-season with that increase in weight cap. What did the food get up to last off-season?

Thanks man. It was pretty odd. I tested negative 3 times over the last week, but my gf tested positive 3 times. The fatigue was nasty. It felt like I hadn’t slept in days. Training I couldn’t catch my breath.

I’m excited! I think somewhere around 8k cals lol. I’m hoping to not have to push that high again…but I know I will end up getting there.

 

[Ckmeter]

Alright everyone, It’s officially 2 weeks post show. I took a bit of a break from logging my training. I’m ready to get the ball rolling again! Training arms tonight and will post the training log post workout.

Here was a shot from chest day the other night. Finally about 95% recovered from Covid, and my body is just burning through food. Everything is clicking and progress is being made.

What’s your weight and bf post show now ?

 

[Ckmeter]

What’s your weight and bf post show now ?

I was 230.8lbs this am fasted. I never care to know what my bf is. Still have some glute striations, striated triceps and pecs, feathered quads, and detail in my hamstrings. I don’t think I’ve put on too much fat at all. I am holding a good bit of water though.

 

[Ckmeter]

@Mufasa888 you tell me though. Here are some pics from this am fasted. Official check ins are tomorrow.
