Hello all,

For a little background info, I worked out consistently from the ages of 13-20 as an athlete. Fell into a really bad depression from 20-26 that kept me out of the gym (amongst other things), and I was just eating fast food twice a day with sodas and all that garbage.

In June 2023, I decided I needed to take control of my health while I was still young and had the free time to make the changes necessary (Pics 1 & 2). I had ballooned up to 260lb and felt awful 24/7. The initial changes I made weren't anything extreme or strict. I just implemented a routine of doing 10-minute walks after each meal, trained 3/4 times a week, prioritized protein in my diet, and replaced full sugar and high-calorie foods with as many zero-sugar/low-calorie foods as I could.

Fast forward a year and 3 months of consistency, and I had lost about 70 pounds. My love for the gym has returned in full force, and I was starting to get the itch to "full-send" pursue bodybuilding. There was a professional show locally, so I decided to attend to see what this all was about, and I was hooked immediately. I decided then and there, I would do the amateur show of this event the following year.

At that point, (pics 3-5) I decided to become enhanced, weighing about 195lb. The date of my first injection was Sept 7, 2024.
I started with 200mg test c per week, and slowly ramped up to 500mg per week with 200mg of masteron E to help keep estrogen low. I ran that for about 16 weeks.

At the end of January 2025, I was weighing about 210 and decided to hire my coach. (Pics 6-8). My coach started me off with the following:

P 253
C 172
F 25

20 mins stairmaster 3x a week, 30 mins treadmill 3x week (3 speed, 10 incline)
10k steps per day, 15k sunday

300 Test E
100 Mast E
500mg l-carnitine
500mg Metformin
20mcg Clen

In April, we took our first diet break and added a 20mg dose of anavar on 4x/week on days I was working my weaker body parts. Test was raised slightly to 350mg, clen bumped to 40mcg. At this point, I had dropped 24 pounds from the beginning of February.

P: 260
C: 246
F: 25

Started back in a deficit 2 weeks later, only thing that changed was the macros.

P: 257
C: 209
F: 25

May 5th, we increased test to 450mg/week. This was peak dosing throughout the protocol. Cardio was also increased at this point.

3x/week 30 mins stairs, 3x/week 30 mins treadmill (15% incline, 3 speed).

May 13th, my macros changed.

P: 255
C: 175
F: 25

June 1st I had a few changes. The diet became a bit harder for sure. I was about 187lb at the time.

P: 229
C: 139
F: 18

Cardio - Stairs 4x/ week 40 mins, treadmill 2x/ week 30 mins (15% incline, 3 speed)

At this point, we decided to try Retatrutide at 2mg/week. The reta I left in throughout prep, increasing .5mg/week every 3 weeks up to 5mg/week total. We also increased masteron to 200mg/week.

By 6 weeks out of the first show, calories were in the toilet. Cardio was high, and I introduced tren a.

P: 227
C: 105
F: 18

Cardio - 280 minutes stairs/week. 120 minutes treadmill (15% incline 3 speed)

Test 450
Mast 200
Var - 20mg/4x week
Tren a - 60mg
L-carnitine 500mg
Metformin 500mg
clen 40mcg

This ran basically into my first show (pics 6-9). I had a low for this show of about 174lb.

Between shows, I had about 7 weeks to improve.

I reduced cardio and increased calories both at this point to see how my body responded.

Stairs were removed completely in turn for 1 hour of treadmill per day. Carbs were increased by about 50g.

We increased the masteron to 450mg to match my test, left everything else the same, and introduced winstrol for the last 4 weeks leading into show 2 at 50mg per day. For my second show, we had a low of 161.2lb marking over 100lb of weight lost in my journey to to stage.
dammmmmmm thats a fucking change for the better!!
 
Yesterday I had a rest day so I did my cardio and hit the sauna for a bit and had a poke bowl for an off plan meal. Got back in the gym for a quick workout this afternoon before going and hanging out with my parents and some other family members this evening. Chest, back, and some shoulders. Strength is going up and up and the gains have felt really good. 2 weeks now on Tren and I’m feeling fantastic.

Yesterday I got back to the training with a big push session. The strength is still going up so is the scale. My appetite and digestion still feel like they’re in a really good spot. I have my bloodwork coming up soon. I would like to push it to 20 weeks assuming all is well there. Blood pressure is in a really good spot as well.
