GOALS DURING THE CYCLE:



during the last growth cycle i ran prior to the prep stack (500Test 500Primo), i gained alot of fat from macro matching and inconsistent intake of food/energy expenditure. i plan to really work on this and try to remain as lean as possible during this phase as the premature fat gain rendered my push phase borderline ineffective. Also keeping my health in check with ancillaries such as Ezetimibe, Rosuvastatin, Telmisartan and over the counter supplements too.



When planning ahead of time with my coach for this push phase I mentioned that I still would like to keep a small amount of lifestyle:bodybuilding balance in terms of diet as i work 7 days a week and sometimes dont have the flexibility to pre make all my meals. Ive told him my usual options for 'go-to'/takeout meals which are usually asian cuisines higher in carbs and protein with small amounts of fat. So he has allowed this to be in place but obviously will try to keep to a minimum, usually replacing a meal (or two depending on rough cals) and eaten only on rest days



In the near forseeing future, I dream to one day compete on stage as I have friends who are already competing and have competed on Regional NPC shows placing within top 3 and also 1st place once. (i will also be guided by these friend to some extent along with my coach).



when compared to the amount of contractile muscle tissue I currently hold and my overall lack in the size department, the dose may seem quite crazy but from my most recent cruise of just 250testE (from a top reputable UGL which I wont be naming) my Test in the middle of natural reference range. Boldenone was chosen to be the secondary anabolic over primo or nandrolone due to no1: sourcing and price + no2: it was established i am a very high aromatiser so using nand wouldny make sense but boldenone fit the shoe pretty well with stronger AI effects compared to primo and generally easier/cheaper to source.





I assume this is due to just genetics and me being from Asian descent

I will be logging my:

TRAINING

As i had to take an offschedule rest day today and having trained back instead of chest on monday, for just this week my chest+sarms and back+sarms days will be swapped in place.



sets*reps = currently doing 0-2 warmup sets and two working sets to mechanical failiure(5-8 / 10-12 depending on exercise) with proper form. this is due to me still being towards the end of mock prep and not trying to accrue any tissue meanwhile getting sufficient stimulus for the muscles.



(working sets shall increase once offseason begins)



Day 1 - CHEST + SARMS

Day 2 - LEGS/LOWER

Day 3 - BACK + SARMS

Day 4 - REST

Day 5 - UPPER BODY

Day 6 - LEGS/LOWER

Day 7 - REST

Did my first injection today using Vertex oils and it went in smooth (ventroglute) with no pip whatsoever, orals kicked in fast.
First time using winstrol and wow people were not lying about the dryness you see, definitely saw alot of striations compared to normal while feeling super pumped from the added var.

in terms of diet, pretty standard tbh. Cals are hovering between 2000-2100 per day currently but we may look to drop that down for the last 2 weeks.

Tomorrow: rest day tomorrow so there will not be a log. but on rest days i do not infact lower my carbs (carb cycle) as i tend to feel a huge loss in performance the day after a rest day if I do, especially seeing that the next training day will be a full upperbody session meaning more exercises/volume + requirement for fuel (glycogen stored from the day prior)
