Weight up yet another lb today to 201.8. Really coming on now. Starting week 4 of the drol today and will keep it at 75mg hen call it quits after this week. Sure my body will be thanking me for that. Give myself 2 weeks to recover a little then draw my midway bloods for a full panel.

Work then meeting with the coach to discuss my next meal plan and the future of me possibly competing. I’m only with him one more week after this then I’ll be doing my meal plans myself but aill hire him again if I choose to compete. Im still iffy on that haha.

No gym today. Total rest day.

Well I hit 202.6 today haha. Up 8.4 lbs in the 3 weeks and a day I was on the drol. Guess how we will see how much I can keep. Hopefully I can keep building now that this is week four of the test and dhb. Should be kicking in well now. Plan is to throw Var in the mix for the last 6 weeks, but hat will depend how bad my midway bloods look. I plan to get them done after 5 weeks of being on so start of week 6.

Spoke with my coach last night and he is happy where I am at. He really wants me to do a show. We were talki about a mid April one which could work nice. Would give me 6 weeks to cruise after this blast before a 12 week cut. Then I’d have my Vegas trip 4 weeks after it and would help me stay on track with The reverse diet to look good there still. Idk still not 100% tho but gunna give it thought.

We’re gunna leave the meal plan as is now and see what happens after this drol is dropped. My next move when needed will be to up the protein some and get that closer to 2g/lb. may do that Monday.

Man I won’t lie I feel heavy and this is not a look I like, but I think if I can get to at least 215 then maintain there for those 6 weeks of a cruise could put me in a good spot to be about 195-190 for a show.


Chiro quick after work, then back day.

Back smashed. Feeling strong.

10 days from when you first placed the order? If so that’s not super long. Stealth is a stand up guy from everything I’ve seen. I know he isn’t super active on here tho. Did you try shooting him an email? Likely better way than pm. If you’re on pro m I know he has a rep there you could contact as well.

I’m sure he will take care of you.

Well boys I was 200.2 today haha so already dropped 2.4 lbs since dropping the drol yesterday. How bout that lol felt like I was pissing all night.

One thing I will be interested to see is if my e2 change at all now that I’ve dropped the nolva too (ran it with the drol). I’ve heard nolva reduces adex effectiveness. So we will see if keeping my dose the same with the nolva gone now if t lowers. I’ll be getting bloods in 8 days.

Today is pumpkin patch with the fam then legs later.

Happy Saturday.

Morning guys! Weight was exactly at 200 today bringing my weekly average to 200.77 and up 18.77 lbs since I started bulking from the end of my cut 18 weeks ago now. Got 8 weeks of blasting left then 6 weeks of cruising before the next cut begins. Goal is to put on another 15-20 lbs if possible.

Finishing my 25 min faded cardio now, then gotta bake my usual Sunday banana choc chip protein muffins. After that I’m off for a deep tissue massage.

Shoulders later tonight.

Look's like you are doing good. Your arms are looking great! Good to see you get deep tissue massage. That is great for recovery and future muscle growth. I need to start getting it done again! How much do you pay for it? I used to pay $50 for 45 minutes so it can add up.

Morning. 200.6 today. Glad to see I’m still hanging onto he majority of this weight after dropping the drol. Starting Today I’ve upped my protein and my new macros are about 350P, 600C, and 125F right around the 5000 cal mark now. Highest my macros have ever been for sure. Let’s keep growing and see what this dhb can do!
