Yo what’s up everyone I’m back my bad I forgot to update everybody that I was heading to the lake cottage and got some good R&R and have been really busy ever since getting back. Stayed on point with diet and training though as always no days off there. So last update was last weeks check ins and now we’re on this weeks so I’ll catch everyone up. Still in a diet phase and absolutely crushing it hit a new low today of 186.3 and looking a lot tighter especially the midsection/back. Coach is pretty happy and so am I, going to continue this mini cut for at least the next week maybe two depending on where my physique is sitting. Hoping to be sub 184 next week we’ll see! To help speed things along I had some diet cuts that I’ll detail below but new macros are currently: 2318 calories, 212g protein, 269g carbs, 43g fats. So we’re definitely lower than beforehand but with Reta backing me up it’s a walk In the park. So far only mild side effects with the Reta nothing too annoying. Gear wise everything is the same. Todays push workout was great had a nice pump and things came easy today despite my lack of sleep the past two nights. Strength was down a bit but that’s expected when calories are lower.

Day 2 push

• prime lateral raise 3x10-15@145 13/12/11
• Hammer strength incline 2x8-12@90,115 12/7

What’s up boys had a nice pull session tonight to round things off before tomorrow’s rest day which I’m really looking forward to gaining some time back and getting to bed nice and early and recover from this weeks work/workout sessions. I forgot to update things yesterday to me gear protocol that we upped the Clen to 40mcg to really leverage things and melt some fat off anyway we can. Which I noticed an immediate jump in my hr especially during cardio and getting into zone 2 is really easy now. Everything else going really smooth no issues just grinding!

I’ve been reading through your log and I have to say, the level of detail, consistency, and discipline you’re bringing to the table is top-tier. It’s rare to see someone meticulously tracking 1-2 RIR and genuinely focusing on Time Under Tension instead of just ego lifting.

But what really caught my eye is the absolute masterclass of a metabolic stack you’re running pre-cardio.

Using SLU-PP-332 alongside Methylene Blue before fasted Zone 2 cardio is incredibly smart. For those following along who might not know: SLU essentially "tricks" the skeletal muscle into an endurance-training state by activating the ERRα pathways, while Methylene Blue acts as an electron donor to upregulate mitochondrial ATP production (specifically at complex IV). You are essentially forcing your mitochondria to become absolute fat-burning furnaces while protecting your muscle tissue.

Also, balancing 4iu of HGH with Retatrutide during a reverse diet is the perfect setup. The HGH will mobilize free fatty acids, but it can cause mild insulin resistance. The Retatrutide completely counteracts that by keeping your insulin sensitivity hyper-optimized. This means as your coach slowly increases your carbs, every single gram of glycogen is going to be shuttled straight into the muscle cell rather than spilling over into adipose tissue.

Looking forward to seeing those bloodwork results and watching you push into the growth phase. Keep killing it, man. The discipline is paying off.

What’s going on meat heads coming back today after a much needed rest day yesterday. Today was a good session but my heart wasn’t in it, easily distracted and took longer than I should have to finish my workout but I was still here and still grinding some reps out and that’s what’s important. Keeping your head down and sticking to the plan even when you don’t want to is necessary sometimes and imo is what separates someone from the average gym goer. Looking forward to some good sleep this weekend and get caught up from the weird work week that I had. Weights staying down though and I’m sticking to my diet down to the gram, faster this mini cut is over the sooner I can get back to doing what matters rn and that’s growing.

What up playas back at it after yesterday’s rest day feeling ready to grow some mf quads! Today’s leg day was okay but strength was down so I had to work with what I could to get the job done. Emphasized nice controlled reps and tried to keep constant tension on the muscles throughout the workout so it was still plenty worthwhile today. Remember it’s not how much you lift it’s how you lift it! Had some minor knee tightness today so I took extra care to stretch and warm up which helped it go away. Other than that things are going great and USP is treating me well. I’ll update everyone after check ins tomorrow and see what the plan is moving forward.

Todays workout:

What’s cracking gym bros today’s the all important check on day for me and it’s a push day so all in all a great day to look forward too. Well start it off with check ins. Hit a new low weight on this mini cut of 182.7 so I’m down around 10 lbs in two weeks! Super solid and happy with that and so is my coach. He’d like to see me just a hair at or below 180 so by next week I’ll easily crush that at the rate I’m going, feeling like a well oiled machine these days! Gonna keep things the same diet wise moving forward and was even told I could ease up on steps this weekend a bit which is nice considering the holiday. Only thing is week after week over the weekend my weight jumps up 7+lbs by Monday morning. Pretty sure this has to deal with my ai dosing schedule M/W/F so over the weekend is the longest I go without it. To combat this we’re going to try 1mg on Fridays and keep Mondays and Wednesdays at .5mg. Gonna give that a try and see what happens. For example yesterday morning I was 191.9 and today after last nights dose I’m at 182.7 crazy. Hopefully the new protocol will keep me from jumping up too much, a couple pounds is one thing but damn near 10 is wild.

What’s going on fellas I hope everyone is able to enjoy the nice holiday weekend and spend some time with loved ones. I’m up north at our cottage this weekend with the family so apologies in advance for not being super responsive to the log this weekend. Today and yesterday were super chill days just a nice workout in the mornings and chilling enjoying the weather/beach the rest of the time. Yesterday’s pull day was nice could have been better but my heart wasn’t in it I wanted to just be relaxing back home but I aucked it up and got it done. Today I pushed the intensity of the workout and since it’s a leg/push day I superset leg work with push work to maximize my time but still be fresh for the next set in the same muscle group. Was a solid workout and I worked up a good sweat. But man going to a new gym will humble you at the weirdest times when it comes to what load you’re pushing on different machines and pulley systems, my normal weights had to be adjusted a bit but still a great workout.

Hey guys sorry for the absence but the site wasn’t up for me the last couple days.

What’s going on guys gonna keep things short and sweet. Today was a weird day and I was in a weird headspace and struggled through the workout but got it done regardless, as much as I wanted to call it quits I know that’s a slippery slope and opens the door that it’s an option in the future and I’m an all or nothing guy so I stuck it out and I can enjoy my scheduled rest day tomorrow. I’ve noticed some side effects from the Reta that make me more edgy and quick tempered which is a weird and uncommon side effects so of course I’d get it. On the up side it’s something I’m aware of so I can check myself.

What’s going on everyone got a juicy leg day today let’s get into it. Todays leg day was much better than last weeks leg day, felt much more motivated and hit it hard. Got a pretty solid pump in and felt accomplished. Over the weekend I stayed pretty locked in as well, I had to refuse pizza twice! Not all that hard to do rn considering the Reta is doing what it does and I could skip most meals if I wanted too. Which is nice on that side of things not being hungry or craving junk food but at the same time comes forced eating when I’m not really hungry at all. Good thing when I’m home I’ve got some weed I can fall back on which ups my appetite just enough to enjoy food but still suppressed enough not to want to overeat and shit. Tomorrow though has the potential to be my last day of the cut if I weigh in around that 180 benchmark we’re aiming for. Feeling pretty confident I should be about there. This morning I was 188.2 and historically Monday mornings I’m always at my heaviest dues to water weight from estrogen and I can have 8-10lb swings into Tuesday mornings which would put me about where I need to be. We’ll see come tomorrow!!

What’s good crew today was the all important check in day let’s break things down. This morning hit a new low of 181.7lbs so we’re super close to the 180 mark and I feel like my midsection is really thinning out so this is hopefully the last week of cutting. Gonna shake things up a bit to fight the training fatigue I’m fighting and tomorrow I’ll have slightly higher carbs about 500 calories worth spread throughout my meals to get energy back up and I’m skipping cardio tomorrow and thursday as well. No cardio will be a nice break from things and free up some extra time in my day which is always welcomed. Other than that gonna keep doing what’s working and knock these last two pounds off and get back to growing like a weed!! Today’s push workout went great but as usual I am noticing strength lose from being 20lbs leaner but that comes with the territory. Feeling great and looking great cycle can’t get much better than this. I’m much happier on the leaner side of things especially bc it’s summer and my body dysmorphia be hitting and I still think I’m the chubby bastard I was a year ago. The grind won’t stop here though now it’s time to hit 200 lean baby!!

What’s happening boys I’m back in action today after a much needed rest day and a fatigue break day to help reset. Felt great today and was well rested for the workout even though mentally I wasn’t as dialed in. However I know me and I just have to get things rolling and then it comes naturally. Just got a longgg to-do list and not enough time to do it so sometimes it’s hard to block all that out and focus on training. Today was my hybrid workout day of push/legs and it’s always a fun one to get into. Took my time today during my sets and really made sure to work the target muscle group/groups with nice slow eccentric movements with a 3-5 second duration and a pause before exploding back out. Nothing fancy just what works. Weight was up a bit sitting at 183.7 this morning so my target weight is within reach over the weekend. It’s go time boys! I want to finish this cut and get back to growing asap. Definitely gonna be way more dialed in this time around and not pack on too much excess fat and keep this six pack if I can.

Today’s workout:

Day 5 push/leg

• Leg ext 3 10-15@220 12/11/10

AYO what’s going on fellas weekend warrior workout is done and feeling accomplished. Man im not sure what’s going on lately but mentally im just checked out of training and it feels like a constant battle to keep at it and not cut corners. Today was another struggle but I just broke things down into smaller segments and checked one off after another and before I knew it I was done. Gotta do whatever it takes to get it in. Hopefully after another rest day tomorrow I’ll feel ready for the week and come in refreshed Monday for a killer leg day. Other than my mental setbacks everything is going really good diets locked in and I’m hitting my goals. Today weighed in at 180.5! So if I stay locked in the next two days by check in day Tuesday I’ll be good to go and hopefully start bumping food back up slowly and get to growing again!

Today’s workout:

What’s up my dudes start of another week time to set goals and crush them! Kept my weight relatively low over the weekend with the biggest jump of course being today as always but before today was holding in the low 180’s if not 180 so after tonight’s ai dose I should bounce back down and finally hit the target weight coach and I have been aiming for. Check in is tomorrow and it can’t come soon enough just want to put this cut behind me and get back to the important work—growing. Todays workout ended up being pretty solid whereas I thought it was gonna be a rough one bc just getting to the gym was rage inducing in all this fucking construction, just used it as fuel for the workout. Nothing like throwing around some weights to let out some frustrations. Really focused on slow quality controlled reps which left me struggling by the end of each exercise but if it was easy to do it everyone would be jacked. Made the mistake last night of taking my injections too late in the day so it screwed with my sleep which was highly unfortunate but live and learn that’s what I get for procrastinating. Hopefully I’ll catch up some tonight.

Todays workout:

Day 1 legs

• Seated leg curl 3x8-12@210 11/9/8

Yo what’s going on everyone today is check in day let’s break it down. So after a month of cutting I’ve finally broke the 180 mark! Weighed in at 179.7 this morning and damn does it feel good to see the hard work paying off. Coach was happy today and pointed out Ive put on some size since we started and is excited to see what else I can do. Moved the goalpost a bit further now until we can call it a day in the cut, coach wants me somewhere around 175-178 before we can truly end things. Honestly I’m slightly disappointed bc I thought today would be it but at the same time I’m locked tf in and can keep going, is it weird that I kinda like the cut phase? Lmk. Anyways the Reta is doing what Reta does so that’s probably what gives me my mental edge in the cut with food noise down however I’m getting the reverse side of things as well with some constipation and gas starting to build up. To combat that I’m going to give the supplement mag0-7 and see what that does for me. It’s nothing bad yet but it can snowball fast and before I know it I’ll be the bloated smelly gas monster I was my last run on Reta. Other than that the cycle is going great no adjustments just keeping things the same and pushing forward. Today was push day and that’s always a fun one especially the pump walking around like a Greek god. Strength was decent today and so was my willingness to train which makes things easier.

Today’s workout:

Day 2 push

• prime lateral raise 3x10-15@150 13/12/8

What’s good my people another day another grind. Woke up this morning sitting at 177.9 which is another new low now just need to shave 1-2 more pounds off by next Tuesday which is light work when I’m this dialed in. About to hit my goal weight and start getting hugeeee. USP has got my back so I’m not worried! Hopefully I can lean bulk my way back up to 190 by winter, we’ll see. Only thing holding me back is me! Hit a nice pull session tonight which was a fun one and safe to say my training motivation is back! Was able to move some good weight tonight while keeping excellent form of course. Looking forward to tomorrow’s rest day so I can recover from the week. Sleep will likely be lower tonight than I’d like but life gets in the way sometimes no excuses, as long as I get at least 6 hours in I’ll be alright. I don’t work Friday this week so tomorrow night I’ll catch up on sleep. I don’t like sacrificing sleep when I can help it bc sleep is highly important to recover properly but I’m grinding in my work life too so something’s gotta give sometimes. And to my gym bros out there anyone tried a keiser m3i spin bike? My gyms selling one and I’m somewhat interested lmk.

What’s going on it’s the weekend but the grind don’t stop, gotta shave these last couple pounds and finish this cut strong. Looking good and feeling good though, vascularity is going crazy which is probably a combo of low bf and that USP Mast P doing its thing. Only complaint is this damn Reta is fucking with my mental more than anything else. I’m walking around angry as hell for no reason and feel a little unhinged, anyone else experience something similar?? It’s something I can live with but man I don’t really like it but hopefully this cut will be finished soon and I’ll hop off of it. Make it something I only run for short periods of time when necessary. I may try tirz in the future to see if that’s a better fit but I’ve gotta get through my stockpile of Reta first. Today’s workout was great I was in a funk before and wasn’t looking forward to it but once I got things rolling I felt a lot better. Caught a couple eyes in the gym today which was nice and reinforces that I’m looking lean and mean! The combo workout of legs and push is always nice bc it combines my two favorite days into one.

What’s good everyone what a week! Closed it off strong today with a solid pull session. Super focused and motivated today I crushed the workout and was able to set a pr so pretty happy with today’s training. Mood was improved today so maybe the last few days were just a one off. Tomorrow’s a rest day and I’m looking forward to gaining some time back to prep for this next week. Idk wth happened but my weight jumped today bc this morning I was 183! Some bs right there but I’ll shave it off it’s just water weight, I really want to finish this cut strong and be done come Tuesday so I may throw in more steps tomorrow just because.

What’s cracking my boys it’s Monday and I’m back on my gym grind it’s a great day. Check ins are tomorrow and hopefully the end of the cut. Looking forward to pushing food back up bc on my rest days I’m practically eating no carbs at all and ya boy loves his carbs. Most importantly though I’m looking forward to cycling off the Reta since the anhedonia is fucking with my mental. I won’t jump off cold turkey idt but likely cycle down to 1 mg for a week or two then come off unless 1mg is the sweet spot for me then I may cruise that for awhile, we’ll see what coach and I come up with. Weight was up today per usual after the weekend, was sitting at 186.2 this morning so if the last few weeks have anything to show for it I should be around 176 tomorrow morning which is right on target 🎯 strength was unusually low today but ig my body wasn’t feeling it, running on low calories and high volume that happens sometimes. Still a solid workout and got a nasty leg pump so I know I hit the muscle group correctly. The pump isn’t everything but I like to use it as a guide to whether I’m actually working the muscle I’m intending to hit, makes sense no? Got some quad veins showing up to the party so I know I’m getting nice and lean just sucks they’re hard to see bc I’m a hairy man beast 😂 lowkey have thought about trimming my legs to be more aesthetic but damn seems like a lot of work idk how the girlies do it lol.
