Just make sure you are getting a variety of carb sources. Incorporating some breads is ok, but try to limit.

I had fruits, rice. 1 piece of sourdough bread , rigatoni, potatoes, 1 serving of lucky charms with my protein powder and oats Pretty well balanced. The only thing crazy I ate was a pop tart and that was with my meal 5

Had some bloating last night after dinner.i think it might have been the coleslaw. That’s not something I typically have. I saved some for tonight for after just to see if that’s what it was. I typically eat the same meals so bloating is not something that’s normal for me currently.

Another 900g carb day yesterday. Easy peasy. I almost fell behind on meals. I was pretty busy early morning and started to slip but I cought back up shortly before first lunch. If I woulda pushed my lunch back I would have been fucked. My day would of been misrable

I use to be really bad at pinning and using 1- 1.5” pins so I switched to something shorter (5/8 length) because I was terrlible at pinning and in experienced. I continued that for well over a year. Probably closer to 2 years if I had to guess… anyway, I had to switch needle length not to long ago for my glutes and quad injections. The supplier I used no longer shipped to the US. I was using a 27g 5/8 needle. Always had a little pip after , nothing crazy just something u could feel and knew it was there. I’m now using a 1” 30g for my glutes and quads and man the pip went away immediatley my dumbass thought the 5/8 was long enough because I’m lean but that wasn’t the case. I’m glad my supplier stopped shipping here. I always chalked up the little bit of soreness as part of the game.

That’s how we learn right. I use 27g 1” for quads and 27g 1/2” for delts. Not a fan of quad pins at all.

I love pinning quads. I always fuck my delts up when I hit them . And I pin them pretty often and still can’t figure out how to do it right lol

I just go four fingers down and don’t have any problems. Luckily.
I’m always afraid I’m gonna hit something I’m not supposed to in my quads.

I found with quad injections for me, if I put pressure on the area I’m going to inject and kind of stretch the skin it goes in pretty easy

 

[Meetketchup]

Quads aren't worth the 49 great injections and 1 bad one that leaves a grapefruit size lump making you walk like Captain Ahab for 4 days. lol

Huh... I tried the 30g points but it was ridiculously difficult to push. I ended up with as much if not more PIP because my hand would wobble trying to keep the push steady! Good for you bro. I even tried warming shit prior to make it less viscous...

30g works good for me delts vsg no issues.
Marathons stuff is pretty thin oil tho.

Mct based ones a little slower but not much

Had an expected but unexpected rest day yesterday. My dumbass forgot I had blood work this morning. I woke up at 3 am to get ready and do my shot and right before I drew back on the bottle I realized I had blood work today glad I cought it before that. So I got an extra rest day this week

Check in pics are still looking pretty good. Coach gave me another carb bump for my leg days.

I trained late this afternoon , I had work to do this morning after my lab work. I struggled like a mother fucker to get a pump the only thing I was able to get blood to was my triceps and biceps . Wiggidy whackkkkkkk

My back is trashed. It’s been tolerable most of the week. But today it’s fucked. I still trained.l and did my best to work around it.

-lab work-
I got partial results back for my blood work this morning. Numbers are looking solid as far as health markers go. Everything so far is literally the same as when I’m off cycle. I’ll post up those when I get the full results back.


I’m going to get some new ink today. Pretty pumped about that. It’s a little late in the year to be getting them for me due to the work conditions I have to deal with but it is what it is. I usually get them in the winter. This way there covered up from dirt and the sun. They tend to heal better that way.

I got all my meals packed up to bring to the tattoo shop with me. I woke up late so I’m a little behind this morning. I didn’t get back from work until midnight last night. Then up at 6 because of the dogs.

Pre work out meal today.
90g COR
1/2c oats
21 g honey
75g frozen fruit

Meal 2 post workout
3 oat meal pancakes
50g blue berry
1 banana
Lite syrup
6 egg whites
1/2c veggies

Meal 3 (about to be eating this in the next 1/2 hour)

1c oats
1 serv cinnamon toast ryse protien (this stuff is bomb!)
1 serv Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal

Fast 180.1lb

I did some side by side photos from just about a year ago. The weight in both pics are pretty close to the same weight. Last may I was 180.7lb . The pics from last check in were 183lb. The comparison pics are from early may last year. Pretty close to a year apart. Pretty big difference to to me. I had a ton of fat on me last year. I’m now a little heavier and lean feels good seeing some comparison shots. I believe we stripped me down to low mid 160s in my cut last year. Ganna be interesting to see what happens after this growth faze. If ur struggling to see ur growth try doing these side by sides. This is the first one I’ve done and it took me outa my head pretty quick. I felt like a bag of dick this morning until I did this. I still feel small as fuck but we’re all always ganna feel small even the pros nice job coach @Meetketchup
