2 Weeks Out: L-Carnitine, Lab work, Should you refeed or not?

Olympia 2021 2 Weeks Out 9/24/21

ATHLETE/COACHING SUMMARY

EVALUATION OF PAST WEEK:

This week I pulled down 2.4lbs and really made a great impact visually. I am seeing all the finer details come through and really holding good fullness despite several days of low carb intake.

I don’t see a need for a high day, as strength is holding, fullness is there. So, I will just keep pulling down and get extra crispy. I rather just let the fat loss happen and then feed into the show earlier than have a high day and have to prolong the deficit longer into peak week.

PEDs:

No need for any more gear in place. Like I said above strength and fullness is all there so I can’t justify an oral or need for any other drug deployed. I have tapered off the Aromasin as testosterone is lowered, so back to the no AI life. I did add in injectable L-carnitine (full lecture to come) with my preworkout meal for a recovery and performance aspect. Really noticed the cognitive effects and focus from it likely via increase in acetyl coa and nerve transmission. I pulled labs today also, so get a look at health markers at peak stress. BP was 112/70 mmHg and fasting blood glucose was 84mg/dL today.

Nutrition:

Keep macros the same as last week with that 40g carb pulled out. No high days since my last one 6 days ago. Going to ride this out for longer and keep pulling down.

Cardio/NEAT:

Cardio is held constant with AM incline treadmill at 20 minute and the rest of the day is just steps up to 10-11k.

No change
