Good session. Finally added a rep to the leg curl. Took everything to fight for that one.

95% of the bloodwork came back. Looks pretty damn good but I’m waiting on Cystatin C and E2. Hematocrit was the only thing off (55) which is odd because the last two checks while using 600 test was 48. I thought I was adequately hydrated going in but perhaps not. I’ll recheck it a month from now but I’m not overly concerned. Looking like we will have blast off imminently

Good news! Time to get some calories in you!
 
You will be more than primed to grow! You have some time until you start prep if you compete in the fall, which is good.

I’ve gone back and forth on this so many times but I’ve decided to do another prolonged growth phase rather than compete in the fall.

I’m committed to growing and looking like a legit light heavyweight and that’s not going to happen if I compete again in the fall as much as I’d love to get on stage.

Good choice. I was hoping you'd make that decision. You could put on some solid tissue in that time.

I'm doing the same. Looking to compete in April/May of 2026. :)

When you say prolonged growth phase. How much weight do you expect to add or what’s your goal to end up at ? Will you be doing just a straight growth phase staying as lean as possible still?

Here’s my thinking. I looked pretty good at 204 before starting this current cruise that I’ve been doing. I’m planning for a nice 4-5 month run of increased anabolic load along with calories. I think realistically that could put me around 215 with good body composition…..maybe 220 but that might be stretching it, but who knows. It’s all going to be uncharted territory for me.

I’m aiming to do my first show September 2026 to give myself plenty of time to make sure I’m ready and plenty more time to grow. Can’t wait to watch you guys go through the motions in the meantime.

Yea thats exactly why I’m pushing off another show. Day of my first show I weighed in at 172 and was like, holy fuck I have some size I gotta put on.
 
5/14 Upper

This was a real good session. As soon as I started warming up I knew it was going to go well which is crazy because I hit a new bodyweight low this morning.

Increased the load earlier than usual on the incline press, last session got 7 reps but again, during warm ups it felt crazy light so I went for the increase loading. Decided to add flat smith since I’m already there. New movement for me and I’m lazy, efficiency is the name of the game for me and this fits the profile to just change the bench angle. TBH I didn’t feel any different of a stimulus compared to the nautilus so I’ll keep this in for the forseeable future.

Cardio after work. Rinse and repeat.IMG_2593.jpeg
 
So this just made a fucking day!!!

The biggest reason for my recent cruise was out of concern for my kidney health. My bloodwork is usually pristine but back in March this was trending in a direction I didn’t like.

I ran Mots-c at 1-2 mg/day due to the animal model data showing improved kidney function and anecdotal evidence in the peptide space.

10 weeks later and this is the best my Cystatin C has ever looked. I’m so pumped. I know Kurt will give the go ahead and we will pushing before long.IMG_2596.jpegIMG_2595.jpeg
 
5/16 Lower

Three days in a row with a new bodyweight low. This morning was 184.2 We are cooking. Very happy with this session today. Really had to grind for that +1 on the pendulum squat.

Check ins later today. Excited for this one since we will most likely discuss a new direction. IMG_2767.jpeg
