Hey Team,
Just thought I’d do a bit of check in and touch base on everything outside of training.
Cycle:
7 weeks in now, running test/mast/HGH at 600/500/4iu. Definitely feeling the full effects, strength and size are coming up nicely and mentally I’m in a great spot. Planning to grab bloods this week so will upload them. About 5 weeks out from introducing DHB, which I’m really looking forward to. HGH has been great for sleep and recovery, might bump it up to 5iu soon.
Diet:
Had a rough patch with some stomach issues that held back food intake for a couple of weeks, but things have settled and calories are back on track. Being on camp full time means all meals are mess hall based. A typical day looks like:
Breakfast: 4 egg omelette with bacon, cheese, and onion + 4 Weet-Bix with honey
Lunch: Meat with rice or potato, yoghurt with berries, oats and honey plus something small on the side
Pre-Gym: Coco Pops
Dinner: Roast beef, lamb or pork with potato, veggies, usually a pasta or curry, plus dessert
How I’m Feeling:
This prep has definitely been a challenge balancing workload, recovery, and time. Working 6 × 11 hour days as a chippy in a hot climate has been a big adjustment from my last environment. I’m feeling fatigued and stiff, but nothing major is holding back training. I think I’m managing it well and hard work never hurt anyone! Mobility has slipped a little the past few weeks, so I’ll dial that back in. Got 2 weeks off work in a month, which will be a great reset for rest and recovery. Right now it’s all about staying dialled in, training, eating, sleeping, stretching, no room for procrastination. Mentally, I’m feeling determined, driven, and loving the grind.
Really enjoying doing these logs, the support has been unreal. What a community we’ve got here. Keen to keep pushing and make everyone proud with some big numbers to come. Some nice triple PBs coming in the next 2 weeks!
And of course cannot forget Core Pharma for giving me the privilege of being a sponsored athlete! More than grateful for his support!
