Approved Log On the road of redemption cutting phase starting now

[MUSTANG_18]

Friday November 3 2023

Today was a bit frustrating as the gym is increasing in number of clients and it is growing difficult to find open bench weights and equipment for my lifts.

Plus all these people standing around talking wasting time plus what is up with people group lifting? I can understand one person, why yall need 4-5 people with u taking up space and room doing nothing.

I utilized the assisted pull up machine, I bent over it put my arms on each side and did a modified bench press pushing towards the floor, and on the way up I slowed the movement way down putting time under tension, so basically a modified press for chest, all the shit was taken up so I had to do what I had to do for that one. I just adapt and keep on trucking .

Being off cycle has shown me how much of a blessing it is to have approved sources with high quality gear, after experiencing the difficulties and differences in the mind and the body being off vs on, it has truly humbled me and made me thankful and very grateful to train both ways and truly have a high appreciation for the compounds, as well as how hard I have to work wether I'm on or I'm off it has helped me grow mentally a hell of alot and I love that it had opened that door for me , train the mind and the body will follow is how I see it.

It had helped me learn and give me a first hand perspective on how blessed of a feeling it is having access to these sources and to be part of a positive community of vets and people.

everyone who reads learns and continues to support me and my logs and my journey i am very thankful and appreciative of every one for getting behind me and constantly pushing me to be my best and reach new levels and step onto the stage one day. I am so proud to be a part of our community, it truly makes all the difference and helps me push on the days I feel I don't got it, I remember the community has my back and I need to get after it no bs no excuses.

I wish I could have done more but I had to work with what I had available sadly since to many people in the way today.

Second round of cardio completed after work, I only hit 40 minutes before work today with the time, so we went back and added another 25 minutes tonight.

Did another 1.24 miles up hill and racked out another 230 calories burned , down below I will list the total combined cardio numbers for today.

I feel like I'm cheating myself if I don't get in atleast and hour and if that means I break it up day and night or have to split weight training before an after it will all get done point blank period just how it needs and will always be.
Goal chasing baby we got to go get it hell or high water

I went into the red cross to donate blood on Tuesday as I haven't donated in a while. I figured it would be a good idea to prepare for my second cycle by getting ahead of the curve.

Funny enough they almost didn't let me donate because I guess the nurse got worried because my resting heart rate came in at 40. I have always had a low resting heart rate, when I start hitting cardio really hard it goes even lower.

At the end of the day she could barely find my pulse lol, had to try both arms 4 times in total, I assured her this is normal and it has always been this way for me.

My hemicrait came in at a 16.9 which she was also worried about being high, in my mind that really isn't that bad all things considered.

In the end I was able to donate and everything went perfectly fine.

I will go back in 8 weeks and donate again to continue to stay ontop of things, plus I also get to help people so it is a win for me and for others, I felt good about that aspect.

Wednesday training: I decided to switch it up and toss some more body parts into my first day back, also good to switch it up sometimes. I wanted to see what my endurance would be like and what I could push through after donating blood, so I just went for it but didn't go super heavy on anything.

not sure how you all donate blood. Just cant do it

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

not sure how you all donate blood. Just cant do it

It is just something I feel is important as it helps clear the toxins and keep things more in check, of course athletic abilities take a hit for 2 weeks roughly, but I can help other people and help myself so it is a win.

Split my cardio and workout today, I did cardio before work and my resistance training afterwards.

Lately I've been feeling really down man and I can't seem to shake it and this is the part I hate the must, I've been through this before with trt when adjusting dose protocol to reach a balance and trying to balance out the hormones.

I would suspect my hormones are probably doing the Rollercoaster effect being so high and now coming down, its playing mind games with my mood.

either way i will find a way through it and tough it out and keep working my ass off while it works itself out which we all know takes time when it comes to hormonesand what we are putting into our bodies.

you take the good with the bad and you keep trucking and find a way to push past it all onto the other side, i suspect pushing my self supper hard while everything is balancing out is also partly to blame the up and down mood swings.

im not anger or mad its more so feeling sad for no damn reason, it eill eventually subsidie.

I will contiune to work on my vision and my goals this doesn't stop just because I'm sad or down or feeling out, happy sad good bad we push through this shit and keep going forward.

Tuesday Nov 7 2023

Typically today is part of my off days from the gym, with my pursuit of my vison and my goals. I must always put the work in even on a rest day cardio is what is going to get me to the finish line and put me into the proper shape and bodyfat level before I run my second cycle this year.

I felt I did excellent today and I was very pleased with my efforts today.

The first 60 minutes was 2.7 speed
The last 5 minutes was 3.5 speed the Incline for the entire first 65 minutes was 11.0

The second half of cardio was 3.5 speed for 30 minutes at 8.0 for the lncline.

I mixed slow and moderate cardio together today and the results are posted below.

I need to push it consistently into the next level no matter the cost, I can do this and I can handle this mentally and physically.

the way I view this is if I'm not pushing it and working hard going all out, my competition is in the gym doing what I'm not doing and that is how you get beat, I have to view this as if the next guy will never out work me and I will always outwork myself and that person or person's, it must be that way if I am to reach the stage and place and eventually win a show or shows one day and take this journey to the stage as far as physically possible at the end of all of this.

I don't know what the future holds win, lose, success or failure lessons will be learned and applied and we try it again and again and again until we win and succeed.

@Topps_Baseball88 walk is nice you keep the cardio going dont stop because you want to stay lean before you start contest prep

 

[SteveMobsterG]

What we do on our rest days is as important as training days

 

[stevesmi]

going for a walk in nature is the best thing for the soul
I like to go to the beach and just walk for a few miles when there's nobody there

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

should start with Equipoise and balanced home-cooked food ..

Well im still weeks out from the cycle at this point its just getting prepared for running the cycle trying to get lean in the process, trust me if I could start the cycle now I would lol.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

That is a good idea, I wish it was warm right now by me because I would definitely go walking on a beach that sounds awesome.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

What we do on our rest days is as important as training days

Agreed its something I didn't do for my first cycle I just stuck with the 4 days a week with cardio, this time around to prepare I've been doing 5 days a week sometimes 6 for my cardio and way longer durations.

I can't believe I haven't asked before but are you/were you a card collector? Basing that off of your username. I am a huge sports fan and used to collect cards when I was really young. Too bad I have nothing to show for it now though as I gave them all away to my cousin, lol!

Yeah I used to collect topps baseball cards as a kid my uncle got me into topps cards and my grandma used to work at the topps factory back in the 1990s when I was growing up, so she always brought home topps trading cards. I haven't collected in a while but I still have some somewhere in storage, I also have a bunch of 1990s power ranger toys and autographs mostly all still in the original box's

Decided I'd toss some AB work in after cardio tonight.

[Topps_Baseball88]

I just about got my steps target in yesterday in one go

Speaking of that, I should really buy a step counter and see what my daily steps are with work and the gym to to be more accurate on what I need to do.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

nice man that is awesome walking to let off steam every day best thing ever

I agree and being in that environment of walking in the gym actually makes me want to do extra work with resistance because I put myself in the gym, so I have no excuse not to.

we want to see you hop on tren next!

I feel like alot of people want to see how my genetics respond with tren after how well I did on low dose primo and test, tren scares the hell out of me brother.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

any hope of you using tren in the future? you said you might on the podcast

Tren scares the hell out of me, it's so damn potent and so powerful mentally and physically, I just don't know if I could handle the bad sides of tren even at low dose, to compete and win I might have to run it atleast once, but I am man enough to admit I'm terrified of tren and how my personality might change on it.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

take it to the stage for sure why not it will be a great experience either way

That is goal I want to do multiple shows and try to take it as far as I can in the amateur level or beyond depending on how well I place and can do. We will see what happens.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

maybe one day we'll be on stage together me of course winning first place and you definitely top three

I have no doubt in my mind with your genetics and knowledge and vast years kf competition you would blow me out the water brother, id give it my best shot and try to compete.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

you should go check out a couple shows before the winter hits and see if you like it

That was definitely on my list to do.

You know 1000% wether it was out of my own pocket or supported Para Pharma is my 1 and my only choice brother! My loyalty to Para is something I take very seriously. I support all brands and sources on here as they are all excellent and highly rated, for me personally Para pharma is the only choice and gear I run, not trying to offend anyone in my statement, I just know what works for me and is right for me and that happens to be Para Pharma.

Today I was pressed for time my fault as I got a late start this morning, at the end of the day I still got a great 45 minutes of back training in today. I will be doing my hour of cardio tonight after work to finish my workout for today.

In the words of Tom Platz I never want to leave the gym feeling like a loser, for me not to feel like a loser I need to accomplish all aspects of my workout.

I don't care if I have to go back twice a day and split things up, I will find a way and I will get it all done no matter what.

@Topps_Baseball88 65 min of cardio good one with full body

I've been doing well keeping cardio at and hour or a little over 6 days a weekits exhausting at times but it needs to be done for progress, all part of the process.

 

[ballin2504]

very nice man. Keep after it

 

[MasonicBodybuilder]

I hear you on the tren man. Tough call but you know the other competitors will definitely be using it.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

I hear you on the tren man. Tough call but you know the other competitors will definitely be using it.

Yeah that is very true, maybe at some point like way down the road, just very on the fence

 

[Tiger Salman Khan]

Tren is a solid steroid....make sure to keep the doses moderate..........

 

[pigsy]

I've been doing well keeping cardio at and hour or a little over 6 days a weekits exhausting at times but it needs to be done for progress, all part of the process.

Great see that cardio your doing. I understand it exhausting it part of the process and the difference it make in a physique and with your training is very beneficial

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

Yeah tren isn't something I want 2 use right away or at all really, just doesn't appeal to me.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

Indeed brother, got to put the hammer down and tighten up I got diet all setup and my cardio going, just found a program I feel will work great for me to switch it up, so we are putting it all together slowly and surely.

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

I know everyone likes details so I put a ton of detail into this post so everyone sees I have a complete plan now and moving into the future and all of this was well thought out.

Down below I will break down my new routine that I will be utilizing when I start my second cycle. I feel really happy with this and I feel great things can happen with this program, it switches things up a bit adds some things in and it has a nice volume aspect.

Cardio will be remain the same 1 hour a day 5-6 days a week.

The food will not change at all, I appreciate everyone's suggestions, for my body and for my goals and what got me into the best shape I ever reached was this diet not changing a single thing the entire time I followed it when I did it, I feel for the cycle to be successful I need to follow this day in and day out, I don't care about flavor or taste I care about results and building my body.

I am currently on trt, i switch from the cream into testosterone cypionate injections 70mg an injection spilt into 2 injections a week rounding out at 140mg a week, feel way 2 run down and with what im doing i need the extra energy from a reasonable yet higher dose, all IM injections. I know from experience 140mg a week puts me in the low-mid 800s i dont and AI on this low of dose as ive run this dose before when i was fatter and estrogen wasn't an issue.

I will lay this out so every knows my cycle plan for future once my recovery period is over with from the last cycle.

Injections will be split Mon/Wed/Fri more injectables this time around so I'd like to add and extra day for pinning less volume each injection liquid wise. Also less pip which I'm looking for.

I might catch some flak for this and that is fine but I'd be running Tbol for 8 weeks and the entirety of my second cycle will be 16 weeks in total. Than back down into trt again and maintain.

I have blood work with my endocrinologist February 8th so I got that part covered as well depending on when I start my second cycle, if not I will just make an appointment to get bloods before mid way and after cycle is done.

Enjoy the update and plan moving forward.

I'm glad you like it, I spent alot of time researching and trying to find something as complete as possible to really push me in my journey for growth.

yes you are definitely not even close to your full potential

I agree I feel I have much more potential that has yet to be unlocked and achieved, one day we will achieve that potential.

I will combine yesterday workout into this log post today with my work today also Included.

I feel the 1 hour of cardio is paying off helping me become more vascular whixh makes me happy, I have a pump in these photos so its increased, regardless I'm getting much more veins popping.

Today I conquered the climb master did a roll hills work out, which switched between levels 4-6 every few minutes. Doing 65 minutes was absolutely brutal, but I wasn't going to be defeated, with my vison in my head I kept trucking forward with the cardio.

I was so close to 3k steps maybe next time we will hit that and maybe reach 200 floors climbed, 186 floors isn't bad imo. I also put it at level 14 for the last 5 minutes to push myself even further at the very end of cardio.

I am 2 injections into using test cypionate again and man what a crazy difference with just 2 injections, i feel so much better energy and mood stability wise, i can push a little more and feel a little stronger already. Definitely thinking 140-150mg is going to be my trt cruise dose from here on out if this keeps up in a positive direction.

I also decided to try a few of the workouts that I will be doing while on cycle so I can see how they feel and how I feel doing them, so far 2 days in I'm loving the change and the rep ranges. I modified the reps a little but not much I added 1 set of 20 reps at the start of some of my lifts.

I am definitely looking forward for this second cycle and utilizing two new compounds I have no experience with and expand my knowledge with first hand use and logging it all the way through.

I wanted to try and balance Androgenic with anabolic and endurance with this cycle which is why I picked the compounds I did, I also respond excellent with primo and if it isn't broke no need to fix it, I feel I can get much more out of primo running it 400mg all the way through. I will definitely notice a nice synergy effect keeping EQ lower, utilizing more compounds it should aid me in strength along with tbol and bring it all together for me and my goals

So far I am enjoying trying the new routine I can push with out over doing it, which I believe held me back and was a down fall my first run I did way 2 much and didn't balance everything properly, this time around we won't make that same mistake wirh my entire 12 week program mapped out and my cardio mapped out I have set myself up for success after learning from my mistakes, we also got the diet nailed down so when it is go time we are ready to rock & roll!

Enjoy the update everyone!
