You look amazing. Sure the gear did it's magic, but you did all the heavy lifting. You don't achieve that physique by just blasting

Thanks homie. You are right though. I'm autistic about my routine. I really don't miss. my coach tells me to do it and it's done. Simple as that. I've definitely earned this.

Thank you! Almost at the finish line bro. 2 more weeks! Learned a ton from doing this and really gained a lot of respect for the men and woman that get to stage condition man. Shit's been real. Hoping we nail this rebound and be set up for a good growth phase after that!

What's cardio? lol honestly all I've been doing is 15k steps a day and I have a pretty big hill at my work I hammer to the top of 3-4 times a day throughout the day to get my heart rate up. I unfortunately do not have time in my schedule for actual cardio sessions with 13 hrs a day tied up between work and commute. There's just not enough hours in the day.

Understood. Cardio is a useful tool, but it's just not as effective for fat loss as everyone makes it out to be. You are a perfect example of that.

It's definitely useful but not needed, Hell pro's brag about contest prepping playing madden. lol Lil bit of clen and magic can happen. OFC calories are gonna be lower but there's not a whole lot I can do about it. I leave my house for work @ 6:30am. Head straight to the gym and get there around 7:30, workout and don't get home until 9:30-10 some nights, eat, shower, straight to bed for my huge 6 hrs of sleep if i'm lucky and repeat. lol I am making the best of it and pretty pleased with where I stand. Gotta make due with what's available. For my actual contest prep I will have a treadmill in house and do something even if it's 20 min the second I wake up if that's all I can do but right now sleep is so important.

Rebounding. Definitely wrote that wrong. We dropped to 500mg test and slin only. Gonna see how blood look at the end of 8 weeks and hopefully get a cycle going. Got my fingers crossed they look good.
