A Day In The Life of a Bodybuilder: For the Less Genetically Gifted- AMA

[JJT]

You asked me the same thing when you wanted to know if superdrol was worth it. Try it for yourself and find out. There's too much interindividual variability for others' experiences to to matter what yours will be.

well fk it here we go

I would say EQ is more popular than you think. It’s just the YouTube Bro gang who’s out there touting all this fad stuff like low test/high mast etc.

EQ is very safe and is a sustainable compound. Very few have issues from it and makes it a great addition to Test in a progression phase that will keep you healthy.

Dosage- it depends on genetic response, but for most I have seen them have to get over at least 600mg weekly for it to shine and it does take time to get into your system. It’s a long play compound.

Primo is the same and I am a big fan of it after having more experience with it. If I didn’t have the PIP I would use more of it.

Anavar is being used for maintaining strength and pumps pre workout. In my opinion Anavar is a great “amplifier”. It is relatively safe and will only make your other compounds work better. But alone won’t do a ton for size. So it has its place. There’s no need for it knowing its position in my prep on off days.

As well I’m running winstrol higher earlier in this prep so we want to keep that as my primary oral on all days.

Good info thank you. For people who don't want to push dosages and stay under 600mg total, any general advice? Just stick to test, test/mast, test/npp?

Your advice is much appreciated still using your side delt finisher partials shit was money today lol.

Test 300mg and Primo 300mg is what I would do in that scenario personally.

You do anything to keep your mind sharp under these conditions or do you even notice anything?

I don’t notice a thing. If anything I’m more focused at this level as I have a black and white mindset of extreme focus. I also avoid and eliminate any stress.

But it all comes down to sleep. I do not compromise sleep during a prep and try to push it more as it’s the key to so much during a prep. I believe many guys overlook its value or lose their sleep quality once they add tren and clen.

HGH is pulsing every 3 hours throughout the day.

Thanks for the awesome log; it’s a great read. May I ask what led to this GH protocol? I assume this cadence is most optimal for fat loss. I noticed in your earlier logs you appeared to be sticking with one shot pre-workout only.

 

[Yousef12O2]

How is your training like the closer you get to a show? Are you still training heavy right now? To failure?

It’s all about fat loss now during the prep so the key is to keep HGH pulsing throughout the day. Every small thing compounds when getting stage ready.

If I am in a progressive phase I prefer a bolus dose all before bed now.

 

[bbxtreme]

How is your training like the closer you get to a show? Are you still training heavy right now? To failure?

I am currently training heavier and harder in my workouts for the time being. I’m very OCD with form as to avoid any injuries, but with tren and Anavar in I’m able to have much more strength in my workouts.

I think so many guys mess things up when they have the mindset of “I am cutting, I should train lighter.” I think that’s the furthest thing from the truth.

Now in the final last two weeks that’s a different story as it’s about maintaining and moving blood at that point. But until then it’s all out.

 

[Yousef12O2]

You mentioned before you're done with classic and are moving to the lightheavys. You're doing the lightheavys now brother?

 

[bbxtreme]

You mentioned before you're done with classic and are moving to the lightheavys. You're doing the lightheavys now brother?

We are still on the fence as my weight is staying pretty solid. But my waist has tightened up so much that we really want to try and drop into classic if we can.

I’ve been told for years that I have the build for classic. It’s just me who keeps trying to fight it and push up. But my goal is an overall and a lean heavy weight or super heavy will always beat out a conditioned light heavy in most cases. So there’s a bit of strategy that must be considered as well knowing my goal.

599mg tren ace

Update: the show I am doing only has 3 classes for open bodybuilding. Lightweight, middle weight and heavyweight. This made my decision pretty easy.

If I do open it will be as a middleweight as I will have up to 187.25 pounds to weigh in at. In today’s climate conditioning wins.

If we can deplete low enough and I can make weight I will do classic A open and Masters 35 and over as well. Why not, I’ll be there so make the most of it.

With no fat and low carbs my brain is shot so if I am not as chatty on here, it’s not personal.

Why no carbs in the intra drink?

 

[bbxtreme]

Why no carbs in the intra drink?

Trying to peel off more fat. We pulled them about 2 weeks back.

We may drop in some insulin on high days, but still no carbs intra. We are really trying to just peel off that final layer to get that transparent look.

 

[mimo]

Still 30mins LISS fasted and 15min Hiit for cardio?

 

[bbxtreme]

Still 30mins LISS fasted and 15min Hiit for cardio?

Yes unless it’s a leg day or high day such as today. We only do steps on high days to maintain. Which is walks between meals.

Been following you for a while; learned so much from this thread, thanks brother.

Question: been cruising a few years and decided to blast again, but sticking to either test or possibly trying test+trest. That said, do you think adding 2-4IU of GH is actually worth it for mass? as opposed to say, adding 250mg more gear?

I'm currently very untrained at a lean 165lbs (5'6), looking to regain old muscle and build some more, eventually. I don't want anabolics to excceed 500mg for this first cycle (and never 1g for future cycles, as I don't want to go over 185lbs lean). Thanks brother.

Growth hormone is more anti-catabolic than anything. If you want to consider running it then get your levels checked to see if you need it- GH and IGF levels.

From a “adding muscle” standpoint you would get a lot more knowing your goals with just using more gear likely. Especially test/trest. Especially the Trest.

I would start there assuming diet and training are in line and then get bloodwork to determine if the HGH at that amount will be beneficial as it would likely just bring your levels back to normal ranges at that amount if low.
