Get Shredded!
Taking a little break from the serious damage to do some serious repair. Dropping gear down to just 150 test, orals before bench. 4iu gh.

Starting point: 198.6 lbs fasted ~14%bf
End goal: 179 lbs fasted ~7%bf
Expecting to deplete an addition 5-6lbs of junk weight, otherwise I’d end up 184 7%bf.

Not entirely sure what the end weight will be because of water and glycogen and what not. But I will definitely be getting clearly below 10%

Won’t be doing dnp this time, kinda want to try some mild clen towards the end. Also want to add in low dose mast and tren once i’m lean af just to look freaky.

Gear: @YourMuscleShop test 400
Note: I am not a rep and cannot assist you with their orders or anything. just a guy using their stuff

Diet: ~100g protein from whey, ~150g protein from chicken. Small morning carb, pre workout carb, post workout carb. Carbs: breads, grains, fruits

Training: PPL
PP: 3-4 exercises, work up to top set, backoff rest pause set.
L: 5 sets of 25 on leg press followed by accessories.
Cardio 😞

Don’t think it will take much longer than a month tbh
 
day 1

diet
2 scoops whey: 380cal 60p
pita bread: 190cal
chicken: 675cal 125p
1 banana: 100cal
chicken: 200cal 38p
curry: 80cal
rice: 150cal
1 banana: 100 cal
whey - 190cal 30p
total: 2065cal 253p

they whey i haves pretty carby. once this tubs up i’m switching it for a cleaner on and that’ll shave off another 150cals or so. Gunna invest those back into rice. And sub the shitty pita bread for more rice. I made basmati rice. shits amazing. idk how it took me so long to find it. Next bulks gunna go hard, can eat this shit all day.

training: legs
leg press: 6pps for 5 sets of 25
accessories: ham curl, good girl, bad girl
cardio: 15min bike (forgot headphones)

leg press was moving way easier than it shouldve. last set i pieced together that i wasnt isolating my quads like i used to when i was at lighter weight. next leg day I’ll be attempting this weight again but hopefully zoning in on quads better

How are you not starving lol
 
day 2

morning weight: 193.8

so resting heart rate is “fixed” (temporarily masked or resolved not sure). which kinda blows cuz cardio was way harder than usual to keep the heart rate up. why cant it be like this on the bulk instead. Anyway its crazy taking my pulse measurements. Got it as low as 62 today. Usually it goes beat beat beat but this time i actually had to pause between beats to wait for the next. and it was hard to find the spot on the wrist sometimes; i used to just be able to feel it all over from how it would jolt me.

really regret starting the cut i feel like id be packing on size easily bow that my pulse is low. itd be so easy to bulk now that my calories arent getting nuked off. and i changed my mind @JackedCarpenter33 im fukn starving. adding leetle bit of calories back in

diet
whey - 380cal 60p
chicken - 540cal 100p
2 banana - 200cal
rice - 360cal
bread slice - 120cal
banana - 100cal
ff milk - 160cal 26p
chicken - 270cal 50p
“curry” - 50cal
rice - 360cal
total: 2540, 236p

going to get some bulk premixed shakes at some point. thatll shave some calories. making my own “curry” didnt take off as much as i thought it would but it did make it much more affordable. cals are honestly looking ok there. ill try to keep it as low as possible but ill call anything under 2700 a win for now. The bread-milk were panic eats as I was preparing dinner and was hungry.

training: chest
bench: 295x4 275x5 225x6
accessories: overhead vbar, vbar pushdown

I thought the 4th rep on 295 was a grind. then rep 5 on 275 took like 3 times as long. Good bit of chest activation. Triceps are kinda dominating the lift, but shoulders stayed out of it today

cardio:
30min bike (130<hr<140)
30min treadmill (110<hr<120)

like i was saying earlier. shit was way harder than usual without my heart doing its thing 😭 i may stick to the bike from now on

edit: shoot forgot to attach pics of my curry. pretty much just sautéd 2 onions, threw a large can of diced tomatoes on it, then added a fuckton of spices (mostly cumin, some tumeric, garlic, then a bunch if different spicy ones)

My man! I was going to say dropping the calories that fast would have me starving. Good news on the heart rate I’m glad the Nebivolol solved it. Even tho the cardio is harder you probably feel way better not having your heart redlining all day. Wait till you sleep on it. Wake up feeling actually rested and relieved. When your hearts banging away all night that’s not a good thing, the lil pumpers getting a nice break tonight 😂 I will say I’m sure the cuts going to go just fine you’re already pretty lean so I predict some mirror changes coming soon.

I should probably start a cut log and stop being a lazy piece of shit
 
Looking at doing a show.
My options are:
6 weeks
7 weeks
11 weeks

from my composition, which one should I shoot for?

and what’s the general process i’d take here?
Stay off til last 2 weeks, then add cosmetic boosting aas? if i do the 11 weeks one do i start back on gear the second half of the prep?

any competitors out there wanna chime in? @TomJ @Meetketchup @Wiseguy @tbda and anyone else i missed

Beyond excited for this if you follow through.
 
My understanding is keep the AAS high all the way through prep, couple weeks out pull all the wet compounds and gh, throw in the oral hardeners and nuke your estrogen. Big Paul ran 1g test 1g mast 1g primo all the way through prep to win his pro card obviously very different scenario but won it without tren regardless

you might be able to get away with that, probably not ideal though. theres always more shows, so if you need to take time off to get health in line, its probably not an ideal time to start a prep.

You are all over the place. I'm being 100% honest here because I care...You aren't ready for a show. Get consistent with everything. Diet, training, food choices, regimen, clear out for a bit gear wise. Get dialed in and focused. Reach out to some coaches, get timelines on a possible off-season and/or plan for a full prep.

This is not something you wake up and say I'm doing a show in 6 or 7 weeks.

Hope you took this right way. It's all love.

Not that simple JC. Wish it was. :)
 
Looking wild bro!
Very interested in the process. Will be following- I hope to offer help/advice when I am around... in any case, the look is savage and YMS is a fantastic resource to use as a singular supplier.

I'm here for it.
Kick ass!

So this could be little complicated for a first time. I would say 11 weeks. Personally I take my gear all the way to the last day. I use halo last two weeks to really show the muscle separation and some use Winstrol.

Most important is salt and water intake. I also incorporate diuretics.

Not everyone is the same and not sure how your body would react.

I recommend you hire a coach for at least two month to help you with the prep, final weeks, posing. So much to cover and again what works for me might now work for you.

Get a coach trust me you won’t regret it.
 
day 3
Macros were going good, then a surprise visit from the mom happened. She came to take me and the new gf out for dinner. Went great. we got that little indian place ive been going to. just discovered indian food like 2 weeks ago and ive had it almost every day since, shits good. either way im doing great right now at work and in life. Just gotta get this heart stuff figured out. Bastards about to pop just as things start going my way 🤣

Rest day. did 45 minutes of liss. very hard to get my heart to the target rate. I usually have an easier time keeping it >140 than i am keeping it >110 right now

got me tripped up @Leanmeantinypeen 🤦🏼

anyway tomorrow im gunna dial calories back further to compensate for the indian food and just have carbs added right at work out. gunna see about working deadlift back in, but adding a taxing fullbody movement on a low energy diet is kinda fighting uphill
 
I like this stuff for quick curry. I think it's more of a japanese style though. They do make more indian style curry and masala simmer sauces. Same idea just half cook your chicken, pour on the sauce, then let it finish together.
