Daily Log to 2019 Show Season

Appreciate the support guys. First callout was definitely a cut above me. But not for long. I’ll be a lean 230+ by May. Mark the words.

Nice try anyhow so lets see what final judging brings :)

You should take a break and when you are ready to take off again why not begin a new log for that journey?
 
Hey guys, sorry for the absence.

14th of 23..feeling like I let everyone down. But that’s just how it goes.

Ontop of the L, had two laptops and a phone stolen after having to make an emergency hotel switch when my Airbnb AC failed. The main reason for my absence.

Anyways. Result is what it is. We just never got dry even after rx diuretics. Shit happens. Offseason plan is coming together and I’ll be back at it shortly.

I think I’ll continue this log here moving forward. Continuity is good.

I’m currently at 206-207, 10lbs up from where I weighed in. Training will help shed some water and use some of the food I’ve been enjoying. Maybe drop a couple lbs from that.

I’ll be starting offseason around 3300 cals. Nothing strict. Eating mostly instinctively. Enjoying some cheats but keeping it clean.

Recovery stack is as follows:
200mg cruise on test Cyp
Liver and Organ Defender (5% nutrition)
NAC
TUDCA
Berberine
Astragalus
Vitamin D
Orange Triad + Greens

Will be tapering T3 by 25mcg every week or so to zero.

Removing gH for a bit.
 
As far as training goes, I’ll be starting offseason with two-a-days as a means to avoid having to continue doing monotonous amounts of cardio as I adjust to not being on prep. These will most likely be one intense session and one pump session per day. They will be abbreviated, 30-45mins each maximum. This setup also helps me get my wife back in the gym as my morning sessions are before she wakes and afternoon sessions would be shorter. I’ll clarify the split and concepts when I have it nailed down.

Welcome back man.

When you say you will start your offseason soon, does this mean you won’t cruise?

Or will you simply up the cals and train hard on a cruise dose?

Cruising for at least 6 weeks until I get bloodwork. Most likely 12 weeks of rest from heavy gearbox before firing up offseason for real.
 
As far as goals are concerned I want a <10% bodyfat 230lbs by spring.

I don’t know when I’ll be back on stage, but 230 and 10% means I could probably prep in 12 weeks, and I NEED the next prep to be shorter.

Zero let down man. Anyone that's been there knows exactly how this works. Even with the water issue resolved, you just needed more time to add size and bring that freak package to the next level.

You never know until you get there and see how you size up especially when moving up a weight class. Now you know what you need to bring to get first call out and compete for the top spot.

I'm interested to see where you land moving forward weight class wise. Personally, I think you'd be at your freaky best between 210-215 on stage at your height. I'm not sure your build will allow another 8-10+ pounds of stage weight and still see you at 198.25.

Either way, you did all you could and that's what matters. Now put the same effort into making up some time with the wife and son with some well deserved relaxation in there.

100%. All things I need to keep in mind.

But we carbed up pretty hard and I dropped weight; 192 by stage time. I think if I’m a shredded 210 a week out we could dip to 198 for that brief moment at weigh ins. I’ll be discussing the strategy with my coach obviously as I’m not sure HW is a good spot for me on a national stage.

But that’s a long ways away. Rest. Recovery. Life for now.

Is that the same body part twice a day or 2 different ones?
