OFFSEASON WEEK 7 UPDATE fuelled by the GOAT @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep
125.6 kg (11kg up from stage)
General Overview
This week has been - in terms of the gym - one of the best in recent memory. I’ve felt absolutely phenomenal and really starting to improve the headspace again after the little low test feeling. The increase to 525 mg has clearly begun to take effect; fullness, strength, and overall energy have all taken a significant step forward. I’m essentially the strongest I’ve ever been across all muscle groups, and recovery has been outstanding. Everything just feels like it’s clicking perfectly right now — training execution, food timing, and recovery are all in sync.
I caught up with my coach today, he was extremely happy with the overall look and the trajectory the physique progression is taking, he's confident we will see 130kg in damn good condition this push, depending how long we get out of this from a health perspective. Although, how everything is tracking at this point in time I cannot see how I wouldn't well surpass that if we have enough time.
The focus remains on
the look, not the scale. Every adjustment is being made based on visuals and biofeedback rather than chasing arbitrary numbers. That said, I’ve noticed I’m going almost “naturally hypo” after some meals and I am absolutely ravenous for every single meal. Although appetite is a frequently overly trusted and under rewarded data point for the decision to push food it is part of the picture that indicates to us that my body is burning through fuel and the coach has gone ahead with another small escalation in carbs to fuel the body a bit more to capitalise on the growth potential of this phase. Although we are capitalising, we are being cautious to not push past that super sensitive condition point too soon and shorten the longevity and thus effectiveness of this part of the reverse.

Current Position and Outlook
These are my current pictures as of todays check in at 125.6kg, very happy with the combination of fullness and condition but definitely excited to be pushing the food as I know pumps are about to be fully retarded over the coming weeks as the test and eq continue to build in serum levels too.
