COACHING SUMMARY:
EVALUATION OF PAST WEEK:
Well bad news this week and I am no longer able to do the Puerto Rico Pro. I realized a few days ago my passport expired and with Covid the State is not expediting passports and even the regional office is not taking walk ins to process in the same day. So, Renee and I just had to call it quits on this show. It was becoming a huge stressor as well with multiple clients competing at Puerto Rice, it’s a 2-day show, Covid testing before and while on the trip, now passport issues. So, a better plan was to move back and do the Texas Pro. I actually am relieved to not do Puerto Rico and I am fired up about Texas, it’s a show I would be proud to do in my home state. This also doesn’t coincide with any clients competing and then Renee we can push her back to being 15 and 17 weeks out for the Arizona and San Antonio Pro.
So, plan is to push body weight up and grow right now. My low for NY pro was 203.6lbs so I have some room and now time to do it. I normally would move into a health/maintenance phase after a prep, but I am moving right into a push up phase. I feel great and I have run gear on prep at an all-time low, so yes, my total time on is long, but my total dose exposure is very low.
PEDs:
For gear changes first is to drop out tren is it is very brain toxic and I won’t need a compound focused more on stopping muscle breakdown. So, NPP will take its place a builder. Test will stay the same and on the 210mg of test per week I do not need an Aromatase inhibitor. Masteron will be cut in half as I just don’t need as much total gear load now. Estradiol nonetheless will raise, and some water will come with it. GH will go from 2IU once per day to 2IU pre workout and 2IU pre bedtime. I will drop clenbuterol after a few days just to help transition to the diet adjustments at first. T3 is lowered but I will retest labs to verify dosing.
Nutrition:
For diet changes I am going to push carbohydrate up primarily and have it all focused around training to take advantage over my current insulin sensitivity. Fats will be added to off days to bring calories closer to maintenance, but keep carbs lower to promote holding insulin sensitivity.
Cardio/NEAT:
No changes here I will still do fasted AM Treadmill walking for 20min and then hit 9000 steps per day. This has been not fatiguing at all and working on the computer I stay very sedentary otherwise so this does allow me to keep my food higher, which I can then have that higher amount around training.
Supplements:
Only main changes were the addition of Liposomal Glutathione in place of NAC. NAC recently in the US has become a pharma drug and hard to access. Liposomal Glutathione has high bioavailability over regular glutathione and I take NAC to increase its levels, so this is a more direct way to supplement. Also, off of Dr. Dean St Mart’s recommendation adding in 800mg Choline and 800mg Inositol for liver and GI health to aid fatty acid metabolism and bile flow in the liver.
Post decision for not competing in Puerto Rico Renee and I went out and ate pretty freely for 2 days. I did take a 1/3 tab of Dyazide 2 nights ago as I was swollen from sodium and that is the pics above not thinking it was that impactful, but today I rebounded some and weighed 214.8lbs. So, I have this plan set and will see how my look changes when the dust settles and I can make adjustments from there. How long I do this push up phase is purely going to come down to visuals and when I hit the limit for body fat and the time needed to pull it off to come in for the Texas show.
