Week 13 of the pushfase!

8 more weeks until we go into a health phase / cruise phase.

Bodyweight is at 246 lbs right now still in decent shape! PB’s on almost every lift.

Current macro’s and kcals:

TD
4720 kcals
300 P
700 C
80 F

NTD
4100
300 P
500 C
100 F

Current peds / dosages:
Test e 600mg / week
Deca 400mg / week
Mast e 600mg / week
3.6 iu HGH / day
25 iu Lantus / day
5-8 iu novorapid pre/post WO

First time on lantus but it’a really has been a game changer, much fuller and rounder in the gym + the pumps are out of this world. Fasted Bloodglucose levels are spot on, probably have to go a little bit higher when calories are going up but i’m monitoring everything on a daily base.

Ended up my push phase at 18 weeks around 113-114kg.

The only things that did increase from the cycle was the lantus up untill 30 iu ED because of the food that increased. Ended up at 5500-5600 kcals on training days.

Right now i’m at week 3 of my health / holding / maintainance phase. Decreased my kcals to 4800 kcals on TD and 3900 NTD.

Right now i’m running:
200mg test e / week
200mg mast e / week
4 iu HGH ED
20iu lantus

Weight keeps around 113kg. I’ll be running bloods in about 3 weeks if everything is in range i’ll start a fat loss phase to see what i’ve builded in the offseason and needs more work.

Next competition will be en

my next competition won't take place until I feel like I've really brought up my weak muscle groups and i’m very competitive. I’m not just participating competition for fun but also want to win :p

I’ll keep you guys updated!

Bloodwork came back last week after 8 weeks of cruising on 1ml of MTS Test e per week. Everything looked G2G. Only thing that was slighty out of range was my HDL cholesterol but nothing concerning. A few health supps + since i’m going on a cut right now HDL will be in range very soon.

Update time!

Around week 5 of the cut right now and shipped away about 6-7kg already. A lot of water weight at the beginning, right now it's in a slow and steady pace, losing around 0,5-1,0kg a week. Still able to progress on most lifts so no concerns about losing muscle. My body recomped that's for sure since i started a new blast :P

Started the cut pretty aggrasive in terms of a deficit.

Since this week i'm doing:
3300 kcals TD
2800 kcals NTD

Cardio:
30 min fasted on the hometrainer 6 days a week

Training split (Legs and arm focused):
Push
Pull
Legs
off
Push
Legs
Off

Current cycle (since 4 weeks ago):
600mg test e / week
400mg tren a / week
400mg mast p / week
10mg Aromasin / eod

Lypolitics:
40mcg clen / day
20mg Yohimbine / with fasted cardio
200mg injectable L-Carnitine with fasted cardio

Health supps:
Support Max Strom (Tudca, CoQ10, NAC and other stuff)
500mg Metformin / day
40mg Telmisartan / day

Thanks for the BIGDADDY and the MTS team for always having my back! Stocked up on some goodies from MTS this week to continue the blast :)

Still very solid workouts, in the beginning of the workouts i’m still able to progress some lifts. Later in the workouts my energy level drops and it gets really hard to progress, so the cut is getting real :p

Kcals are going down tomorrow and cardio is going up

TD 3000
NTD 2600

Cardio:
6x per week 45 min fasted on the home trainer

PEDs:
No changes

I’ll be cutting until 30th of April, then i’ll start the recomp.

Update time!

Finished my cut at May 1th. Slowly started to at in more kcals, drop the fatburners and decrease cardio.

Now i'm at 4000 kcals Training days and 3300 Rest days.

Shape still improved last week and got around 100kg bodyweight. Honestly if i cutted 2 weeks longer very hard i would be show ready.

One thing is sure i added 4-5kg of solid muscle since te last time i was in this shape, so i'm very happy. Right now i'm very excited for the push phase and improve my weak point!

Started with a new trainingssplit from John Meadows, the program is called ''High Evolutionary''. Low volume but with a lot of intensifiers. Really liking it so far!

I want to thank the MTS team once again for having my back improving year after year. For top notch products you came to the right place ;)

Current shape:

New update!

my apologies for being absent the last 1-2 weeks. Just moved to my new home. A lot of work to do, honestly the first day I got time to have time to log in on the forum.

Bodyweight went up to as high as 109kg. I started a mini cut last week because i’m going on holiday for 10 days in September. When I’m back home it’s growing time again. But for now I wanted to be in a solid shape for holiday :p. Already was in good shape but just clean up the bloat and stuff. Since I have been busy it in the new house the last week and moved a lot i really lost a lot of water weight.

Food intake right now:
4600 kcals (legdays) high
4300 kcals (Push and Pull days) medium
4000 kcals (restdays) low

Cardio:
30 min fasted on the bike / 6 days week
10k steps daily

Peds (swapped npp for mast p since last week):
600mg test e / week
300mg tren e / week
400mg Mast e / week
4 iu hgh ED
15 iu lantus / day
8 iu novorapid pre / 12 iu post workout

Will be updating more frequent right now!

Shape update will be posted very soon ;)

Holiday is over and MTS came with a new care package! Once again thanks to BIGDADDY for providing me with the best gear, best service for all those years.

New plans are being made, it's time to get big. First week after holiday i did a little recomp, calories around where i left for vacation. Right now i'm starting with a slight surplus. Let's see what the scale does, otherwise we will increase calories even more. Few weeks on lower peds, i'll do bloodwork in about 4 weeks, if everything is fine we'll start with a new pushfase. Thinking about increasing my protein a little bit more first before anything else since Milos is preaching about it in almost every podcast and most BB benefit from it. We'll see.

Right now the calories are:

TD 4720 cals
300 P
700 C
80 F

NTD 4100 cals
300 P
500 C
100 F

Peds (Cruise plus):
300mg Test e
200mg Mast e
4iu HGH ED

Cardio:
30 min on the bike fasted 6x PW
10.000 steps daily

Shape update + MTS gear touchdown ;)P1.jpg

Update:

6 week into a mini cut right now! After 18 weeks in a surplus it was time to give the body a little break from pushing bodyweight up. Man feels good to eat a little bit less. Ended the bulk with 6000 calories on training days and 5000 on non training days. Bodyweight went up to an all time high of 118kg / 260 lbs.

Didn’t want to push it any further with calories and wanted to give my digestion a little break so time for a little mini cut. Backed down my calories every single week pretty hard at the beginning by 1000 calories and then every single week by 200 calories. Proteins around 300, relatively high carbs and low fat because i want to keep performance as high as possible. Since it is a mini cut of 8 weeks it will be more aggresive. As soon as bloods come in and they’re g2g i’ll be starting another push phase. Digestion is in a good spot again, sleep improved drastically and i’m still able to progress most lift.

I’ll be updating with new shape updates as soon as the mini cut is over. Now that i’m leaner again i can see i made some good improvements.

Absolutely 6-8 weeks is all it takes, to get things on fire again. Insulin sensitivity is so important and just taking more and more insulin isn’t going to solve the problem. If digestion and sleep is going to shit that’s an indicator for me to pull back. Ofcourse you should’t be a pussy and the majority of the year you should be pushing if you want to gain muscle, yes it is hard but if you want to become a freak it is neccessary.

Last weeks shape update! Week 8/8, finished at 103-104kg bodyweight. Definitely added some muscle since last time being this lean. A solid 3-4kg i might say.

Time to slowly increase calories and go for a long growth phase. End of May i got blood work and echocardiogram and calcium test planned to see if everything is still good.

For now i’m just running some test and mast 400mg/ 400mg a week with 4 iu of GH everyday.
