Two week progress report. Last week I had a huge drop from 199 down to 194.4. We had pulled carbs, increased cardio, and increased my clen dose. Coach had me hit a cheat meal that night based on how much I lost to see how I’d change with carving up. The pictures in the last post are the result of that a day and a half later after getting to hit a chest workout. Diet stayed the same this past week, and I had a .8lb loss on top of shedding all the extra water/glycogen from the cheat meal. Down to 193.6 this morning.

I’ve been tanning and injecting melanotan II to Help my skin process the melanin better. I’m actually getting some color out of that for the first time in my life, which is nice.

Based on the small weight drop this week, I imagine we’ll pull 30g of rice from meal 4 and add another dose of clen at some point during the day and possibly bump up the Tren and/or Mast.

Thanks man. It’s gonna be insane to see where I’m at in 6 weeks.

I was right, we’re bumping up Tren and mast by 50mg each every other day, and then I’ll start Winny next week. Coach was really happy with how I looked today at posing l, just had a few small adjustments to make to my poses and then told me to take a cheat meal tonight. Things are sliding into place nicely.

He knows his stuff for sure. His dad was an owner of the old Gold’s gym out here when he was a kid, so he’s always been in this culture. Started competing as a teenager and now he’s young 20s with close to 10 years of experience competing under his belt.

And thanks!! This is a look I’ve always dreamt of too, but never thought I’d actually step on stage and force myself to get this lean.

Beard is gone. I think I shaved it maybe early summer? I can't even remember. It wasn't a burden or anything, it just wouldn't grow any more. Did some research and found out that genetics might play a role and when a follicle reaches its max length it'll just fall out and a new one will start growing. So apparently that's as long as it was gonna grow. I was like, well I ain't growin this bitch to half ass it, it needs to be monster. So I just said meh and cut it. Now I've got the lazy trim and only really keep my neck shaved.

:word: i've heard that too. I'm gonna give mine a big trim for the show, then I want to see how long it'll go and I'll try not to trim it up at all for a full year.

That's gonna be my strategy for the competition. I know in our division we can't hit a "most muscular" pose like that during our mandatories at all when they ask you to hit your "favorite classic pose", but if I'm allowed to do it during my free posing routine, I'll end with that.

Official check in coming tomorrow.. expecting to be right around 190.

Coach is having me switch my aromitase inhibitor from arimidex to letrozole. Letro is a lot stronger and more harsh, but that should equal me holding even less water weight, which is what we're shooting for. We'll do that for a few days and see how I look and feel on it to see if that's sustainable up to the show.

Cool, but a bit nerve wracking, to be at the point where we're going to be making changes like that almost daily and actually be able to see the results of the changes from day to day too.

Ooooo buddy! Four weeks out as of this morning. Feeling surprisingly good, but then, we haven’t had to pull any more food out of my diet in a while or increase my cardio (thank god, my feet hurt so bad as the fat pads on the bottoms of them are disappearing). Still eating a good amount. Two weeks ago we increased my dose of Tren and Mast by 50mg/eod up to 100mg/eod (every other day). Added a cheat meal that Saturday too. Those two tweaks took me from 193.6, down to 191.2.

This past week, we did another cheat meal last Saturday and added in Winny to start drying me out a bit. Yesterday he told me to switch my AI to Letrozole as I mentioned in my last post. The winny and the cheat meal dropped me another 2.4lbs down to 188.8 this morning. I haven’t been this light in years. It’s crazy to think about, because with how lean I am i feel like I sill look bigger than I used to even at my highest weight of 230 this year.

Today’s check-in pics:

I spent years focusing my back over other muscle groups when I was younger because when I first started I had such a hard time feeling it work during my lifts. This is really showing now, as it’s easily my most developed body part. My last could stand to flare a little wider, but I have decent thickness and detail in my middle back. Do your rows and deadlifts kids.

No changes based on him seeing me in person. I get another cheat meal tonight to help fill me out a bit. So that’s nice.

Completely illegal. I just assume this is a safe space and :narc: ain't gonna :narc: on me.

If you want to try to legally get them, you can see your doctor and have him test you for low testosterone. Generally the problem with that route though, is that they'll only put you on test, and you'll typically need an anti-estrogen to manage the increase in estrogen conversion in your body. There are lots of "hormone clinics" now though, where they do more comprehensive testing, and will put you on test, something to block the conversion to estrogen, HCG to keep your nuts from atrophying, and some will even go so far as to offer other steroids like deca, or growth hormone, and IGF-1 if you're really lucky. If you go that route, it's legal. Everything I do is underground.
