He’s a big boy….that’s great he wants to compete. That’s right up your alley, so you guys are going to have a blast taking that journey together. Good thing your Dad’s got a cattle farm to help feed that boy. He’s still got a few years to grow taller too.yup, his calves are almost double mine in appearance, I should tape mine and his for comparrison. he has some fat in the mid section but his legs are absolutely rock solid and fuggin' huge. I think his arms might already be bigger than mine and he has the stretch marks to show his remarkable growth speed the past 2 years.

Sunday will be our 6th! I didn’t realize we’d been married before you guys.Cardio
Morning walks - 3 x 10min
Stairs - 20min
Incline - 20min
Total - 70min
Trying to force a fairly high octane week where I can because tomorrow will be an off day from weights, Friday is an event day and Saturday planning an all day date day with my wife to celebrate our 5th anniversary.
Contemplating fasting 16:8 tomorrow to help with a little inflammation and offset some calories since I won't be lifting.
thats funny dude I didn't realize the dates were so close too. We were gonna elope in Thailand, I had a Christian pastor lined up, marriage certs ready to file in Bangkok, everything but flights were cancelled like 2 weeks before hand because of COVID and the island of Koh Samui was put on complete lockdown so we ended up with a small puget sound beach wedding. In some ways it was a blessing because all four of our kids were there, my folks, her aunt and uncle (parents are passed), and my buddy served as our Reverend. Thailand remains on the bucket list, possibly another anniversary!Sunday will be our 6th! I didn’t realize we’d been married before you guys.
I am thinking of getting ahold of @sns8778 to plan my next stack. I'm almost out of M-Test and I'm on my last bottle of anabolic XT. I'm thinking about this for the next 2 months:
Prime
Phosphatidic Acid XT
XPG Carnitine
Creatine
Any other thoughts pro/against or suggestions for a decent natty stack beyond that? I'm hoping to keep the cut on a certain level of cruise control through summer.
I use M-Test year round as part of my general health regimen, I don't really think of it as part of a cycle. I have an endocrinology condition and it helps me a lot with keeping my test levels and especially free test levels up and I just in general feel better and have a better libido on it.
I hadn't even thought about just maintaining for a 3rd bottle, I think that's a great idea. I always run 2. may as well keep this gravy train going.I love Anabolic XT and usually run it for 12 to 16 weeks.
Prime XT:
Prime XT is great for strength gains in most people. Some people feel it kick in sooner and see nice consistent results; for others it kicks in between weeks 3 and 5 and they see crazy strength increases pretty quick then and then consistent after that.
XPG L-Carnitine Gel:
Great and very underrated product and will go great with ATP Elite.
Pepti-Bolic:
Both ingredients in Pepti-Bolic have real human clinical studies showing increased protein synthesis, improved recovery, strength gains, endurance, and muscle gains.
I totally agree, my energy and mood has been like PED level wow!
I hadn't even thought about just maintaining for a 3rd bottle, I think that's a great idea. I always run 2. may as well keep this gravy train going.
would you stack it with A XT, or would you wait and run it after?
A staple, I swear this gives me energy and pumps. I love it around an hour+ preWO if I can but I swear I can feel it even those days I apply it in the lockerroom.
another one that's hard to pass up even though I'm up to a lot of caps at this point. again, you would stack this with the A XT and Prime or run after?

I usually tend to run most things for at least 12 weeks and ideally 16 weeks.
Prime XT would be a great addition to your stack if you keep it going; no reason to wait.
Pepti-Bolic can be stacked with anything.
Well, based on my use prior and what you've got in mind, I'd maybe opt for:
PrimeXT
Pepti-Plex (or Pepti-Bolic)
XPG carnitine
ATP Elite - I haven't given this one a shot yet, have a bottle, but between this and the carnitine I think this would be a synergistic stack.

Delts and arms are looking beastly!The pump was awesome. the shoulder strirations were insane, vascularity throughout the delts. I felt super self concious trying to snap a quick pic in 1/10th of a second but I think this at least highlights my arm development the past year finally.

only negative to note is left elbow is a little sensitive and I could feel it even in those DB OHP's today. I'm hoping it's nothing but I'll need to watch it a little. I've gone ham lately, but I think its more from squats than arm work.
thanks dude! I couldn't capture any of the details I was seeing in my embarassing click n go selfie but it feels good to be seeing vascularity (which you can't see in this pic) and shoulder veins etc. I feel like I'm earning the right to be back in a tank top lol. I didn't even think to flex my arms I was trying to capture the shoulders haha but damn I was like that arm ain't so smol no more.Delts and arms are looking beastly!
Your kid is a beast! That vid of him squatting the other day he made the bar look small lol. He’s gonna smash some records!yup, his calves are almost double mine in appearance, I should tape mine and his for comparrison. he has some fat in the mid section but his legs are absolutely rock solid and fuggin' huge.

And I would say looking at that picture compared to the pictures where you were cut in that 10% range, that you have probably added a good 10 lbs of muscle, which is significant for an experienced lifter. So when you do get back to the 10% - 12% range that you will weigh a solid 10 lbs heavier than you did back then…..good job.The pump was awesome. the shoulder strirations were insane, vascularity throughout the delts.

last night at "family dinner" he gave us the full break down. current school PR's to beat by weight class are:Your kid is a beast! That vid of him squatting the other day he made the bar look small lol. He’s gonna smash some records!

Today in the air-conditioned commercial gym, which was totally comfortable, I was sweating so much in my tank top it looked like I had just come out of the sauna. Beads of sweat dripping into my eyes and streams running down off my delts. I basically have to train in a tank top whenever I’m not squatting or benching (where I need the extra shoulder traction) to mitigate body temp.
Hell yeah! Looking huge brother!
thanks dude, really appreciate that!Bro!!! You look like a brick shithouse!!! Well done, you are looking so thick and beefy man. You should really be proud of what you have accomplished the last few years! Totally different human being brother!!!

Weight up to 195 today after yesterday's anniversary date day. Put it to good use today though.
We had a great week to be honest, albeit exhaustingThat’s a nice session, good volume…..you’ve been consistently keeping your volume up for a while, and it’s paying off.
Hope you and your Lady enjoyed your anniversary celebration.![]()
. We drove up to Bellevue which was about 70minutes for date day then visited a number of fish stores on the way home (the fish store circuit as we call it). By last night we were falling asleep on the couch. 

I despise folding laundry. Mostly because the wife wants it done a certain way and I can never remember how to do it. But underwear are the most annoying. I never fold her underwear correctly and I always mix and match my 7 and 3 year old girls undies. It’s crazy how they seem like the same size. lolWe had a great week to be honest, albeit exhausting.

Today she just wanted to work in her garden which makes me happy because she hasn't been super into her garden for a few years and this year it's been really big to her again so after hitting the gym, mowing the lawn, general yard clean up, tending to the fish tank, I did all the weekly laundry catch up, some meal prep and now I'm finally on the couch watching a little golf until it's time to fire up the grill.
She hates laundry but does 90% of our cooking and I'm autistic enough to have a specific way I want my laundry done so it works
I'll admit, my back is more sore from bending over the bed folding laundry than anything I do at the gym.![]()
lol. half the time it seems like folding womens laundry is doing a rubics cube. I don't even understand what some of these garments are. I'm like is this a shirt??I despise folding laundry.
