    Post-WO relaxed Legs coming along pretty well Cut seems like it was pretty successful. Not quite as lean as I'd have liked, but (1) wasn't diligent enough about it the past month and (2) have no reason to get much leaner than this really since I'm not competing and already look good in a...

    Pull this morning. Ran a little long because one of the PLers in there (just starting to compete and train, so pretty new) was asking for advice on his lifts and I don't know how to turn off coach brain. Almost makes me want to do a meet this year. Wouldn't want to change training for it...

    Yeah, looking forward to the chance to unplug from the PC for a couple of weeks. We're going to road trip through most of England and see bits of Scotland and Wales, so will be lots of time driving, but driving (especially back country driving) has always been relaxing for me, so I think it'll...

    100%. Only taking this diet one week further lol. Heading out to the UK on Friday for a 10-day vacation and then coach wants to start increasing cals and building again. Depending on how much damage I do on the trip, might have to consider a couple of weeks in a deficit to clean it up, but...

    Insulin

    Basically zero chance you should be using, or even considering using, insulin. Only way you should be doing that is if you are competing at an Olympia level and carry so much mass that it requires you eat an extraordinary amount of carbs every day to hold onto your muscle.

    Legs this AM. Commuted down towards downtown to try out a new gym that opened recently. Lots of cool equipment that my base gym doesn't have. Similar style, more PL specific stuff, but a few niche BB machines that I think I'd like to make regular use of going forward. Probably going to set up...

    Yeah, I feel a little bit more optimistic about it all today than I did yesterday. Really looking forward to feeling like a normal person again, and think that's especially something I can expect if I'm able to land an in-house gig. Hell, might even be able to start training in the afternoons...

    I might **** around and do some stair master cardio after my leg day tomorrow. Can't remember the last time I did that, but recall it sucking major ass.

    Doc was not loving my blood work today. Recommended Test C @ 160mg/wk for the next 12 weeks and then we'd reassess after another round of blood work. He was also not enthused by my BP, which has hovered around 130-135/90 since I was a teenager. Have been trying to avoid getting on BP meds by...

    Wish I had the level of faith in myself that you have in me lol. Just wrapped up 30 minutes on the elliptical for some evening cardio.

    Push from this AM. Didn't sleep great last night, but no real discernible reason why. Still had a solid workout and had plenty of time for it since I was up right on time. Prime Pec Deck: 250 x 8, 225 x 7 DB Lat Raise: 45 x 7, 40 x 8 (didn't want to wait for cables) Arsenal NG Incline: 180 x...

    Men's physique competitor is actually exactly what my coach and I talked about as the goal when I did the initial consultation before hiring them lol. And really only 20ish more pounds of muscle and then like 5lbs of fat and some amount of glycogen lol. That'd be low-200s at a similar body comp.

    Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever)

    I think we've talked about it before, but low-200s has always been where I've wanted to be (except when doing strongman, where I was pushing food to get to mid or even high-200s lol). Agree that I would look fucking gnarly at that weight if I could do it at or below 15% body fat. Honestly may...

    And do want to carry more mass lol. Just trying to stay leaner while building it these days. Based on the latest DEXA, I've near maxed out what I can probably carry naturally (FFMI around 24 @ sub 15% body fat), but would still like to carry probably 30 more pounds at similar body composition...

    Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever)

    Yes, definitely not something I'm taking lightly. And agree with all of the above. It's hard to know how much of my T suppression and the symptoms I've been experiencing are just the getting older and/or the lifestyle factors, but unfortunately I'm kind of locked into the lifestyle stuff by...

    Doctor's appointment tomorrow to discuss TRT. Was considering pushing it off and trying one more time this year after getting more summer sunlight, but my last results were pretty shockingly bad, so feel like it's worth having the frank conversation. May still want to wait and run some new...
