Wayyyyyyy too low buddy. Your not going to build any muscle with this amount protein consumption either

This is just about being honest. And adding up a lot he little extras you were taking in.

Sugars in drinks
Milk
Snacks
Anything you out in your mouth!

But initially you need to set a start point. A baseline maintenance calorie intake. And a expenditure target 🎯

For example:-

300g carb
260g protein
50g fat

2750 kcals

I’m going to eat this amount and my output is going to be:-

10,000 steps a day.

See what happens after 7-10 days if you drop rapidly you know you can increase your cals a touch.

Then find a nice consistent drop of 2lbs a week. Then go from there. Create a deficit from more activity rather than reduced calories.

So after a crazy 48 hours with Arnie we had him home and he’s picking up every few hours which is so amazing!

I had a new low this AM and I still got everything done that are are my daily non negotiables. Cardio, step, posing

Today was pull also. Pics attached.

Refeed tonight. Sushi and bagels at 4 weeks out then we push hard into next week for finalising condition over the next 10-14 days

Stack changes

Test prop 800mg
Primo 1000mg
Mast prop 200mg
Tren A 200mg

All lipolytics stay the same until w/c 15th when GH and yohimbine will be pulled. This will drop some water off and I’ll be ready by then. So it will be landing the plane and peaking into the first 2 shows!

I’m excited
I’m ready
I’m coming for it!

What a night and day. I didn’t weigh myself until after cardio but I’d dropped to 288.4lbs so probably similar on wake to yesterday

We were up 12-4am with our dog Arnie who is 2 years old

We rushed him to the emergency vets as he wasn’t good. They kept him in for test and we have had to transfer him to a neurologist today. And have further tests. He has progressively got better and they basically said he’s a little bit of a miracle.

They have diagnosed a stroke. A vascular blockage near the spinal cord. Which has causes temporary paralysis which is improving already he’s still unsteady and he is very weak but he’s improving he has medication and pain relief and some meds to keep him a little sedated.

It’s fried us today both mentally and physically….as we still got up to do our cardio and steps and had all intention of going to watch the british finals….

But Arnie is family. And that comes first.

We are wiped out so we may take another rest day tomorrow and recover as it could be counterproductive. I shall check in and see what cal says. We will get up and check in as normal. Hit cardio, posing and steps. Then assess!

We have a job to do. And a pro card to win! For the dog 🎯

289.8lbs this AM

Another drop and another move forward in condition. Still feeling relatively ok at certain points of the day. Yes it’s hard…..but honestly I’m loving it. I just want to get my work done daily now and get things done.

Few pics attached from check in

No changes we will run this through for another 1/2 days and potentially have a feed up

You can get both gluten free COR and gluten free bagels I still in off season like a variety of sources from both carbs and protein but just go with the feel of your body

Hey mate, wanted to ask you about your npp usage in off season? What dose did you run and what is the minimal effective amount? Would their likely be in increase in e2?

Also, what’s your thoughts on a rebound phase post diet when very lean, I’m considering 6 weeks as bloods have come back good. How would you maximise this phase with anabolics?

Hey Luca. If bloods are good I do like a rebound phase whilst lean, here I feel you can utilise testosterone a little higher along with a DHT and and NOR-19 I would also be inclined to run an oral such as anadrol for a short spell.

If you want to inbox me on Instagram I don’t mind having a chat with you on my thoughts.

I only took NPP to 300mg/wk max off season I felt this was the sweet spot I felt the affects at 150mg

I have ran higher and I didn’t like the psychological sides it gave me

291.2lbs after legs so half a lb up….which is usually 2-3 so after today and lower food I expect another drop. I have seen a shift in condition the last 2 days. Just getting a little grainy and drier in areas. There’s still more to come off. But that’s just time being spent here now.

My productivity is still ok, not flying but it’s ok. I’m getting everything done. I’m making sure I get things boxed off early.

This week will see an extra rest day because of the british finals. Push rest pull rest legs rest, which will allow time for recovery and also extra time in lower cals to drive the deficit. I think within 2 we could be about ready and cruise into the regional. Then peak nicely for Austria.

I’m very excited about this season I know how hard I’ve grafted and how hard pheebs has grafted. We’ve booked our accommodation for the European shows which is exciting just to register now!

Hi Nathan, its me again. I am wondering something about your pre contest cycle escalation. We know that minimum effective dose of testosterone without considering its ester is 300mg, primobolan is 600 mg and masteron might be around 400 mg.

1-What is the reason behind your thought process starting 500 test p, 800 primbolan and 200 mast p?

2-When do you drop your long acting basal insulin which in case here lantus? (Do you think that carbs should be around roughly +500gram minimum when we decide to jump into lantus?)

3-I know cal is a big believer of peri-workout supplementation and because of this reason he probably keep novorapid pre and post as much as possible but what is the best time drop fast acting insulin and does using both long and fast acting insulin very long time cause insulin resistance when we drop out?

4-I know you are chasing your pro card, in regards to this from 10mg/kg up to 20mg/kg or may be 25mg/kg worth risk to reward ratio?

Thank you time and effort!

I agree with Kuba here bud. Don’t think you need to change caloric intake. If the aim is to drop fatigue, pull output down a touch steps to 8-10k

3 days off. Then 3 days less volume! Then get after it again!

Rest day today 294lbs weight coming back down after sushi. I am expecting a drop again tomorrow after todays rest day

Sports massage and lower food usually has me a couple down. See what check in says tomorrow AM and weather Cal pushes a touch harder this next week for condition.

Felt loads better today, legs were a touch heavy, but me and Pheebs kept busy and we boxed everything off early doors.

So we can chill, and get another early night!

Buzzing for legs tomorrow! The desire to train is still very very high at the minute, which is a great sign.

We move 🎯

What we’re your first 2 cycles? Total
Mg and dosages?

For me this is an excessive 3rd cycle.

Where will you titrate your dosage from here?

Something is not agreeing with you clearly here.

I would opt at lowering testosterone to 250-300mg

Lowering NPP to 100mg and adding in 1-200mg DHT primo/mast

See if this has any positive affects on the acne situation.

Wash morning and night, change sheets, re assess again in 5-6 weeks time

The main thing here is to make sure have your nutrition, training and cardio are all on point.

Your basic health and organ support

JP vital
Love heart
Omega 3

These 100%

Then I would look at having bloodwork done at week 5 to see where hormones and health markers are to make a decision from that buddy
