Great look man! While not a low dose, a pretty sane and safe overall drug load to support a lot of muscle.

Oh yeah I didn’t mean it bad overall it’s much lower than most and a very safe overall protocol! Good stuff man.

Thank you mate I appreciate that! Some massive guys on this forum I’ve got a loooong way to go but hopefully I will get there one day

Hell I go up and down 5lbs a day sometimes for no fully known reason whatsoever.

For me, 5 lbs. is a good solid AM shit the morning after my 900g carb day!

You look great...and you're WAY below "low teens" bodyfat!!

A quick update since I detailed my start in this thread.

I am up to 247 (from 235) and I am as lean as I was at the start (June 18), but definitely stronger, fuller, and rounder.

I have cut out the 3iu HG post-training due to some severe edema issues. Also running some bloodwork so make sure there are no other issues (BP is great).

The only real adjustments that I have made was that last week (start of week 7) was to increase my high carb day to 900g from 800.

Looking great man - improve a lot

Thank you mate and do you think? I was thinking 12-15% but honestly I have no idea I’ve never been anywhere close to this lean before

You’re absolutely peeled I wish I was that level of lean

You're more 8-10% IMO.

Man I really hope so! Few guys who compete reckon I’d be about 220lbs on stage and I’m 245lbs now so could be about right

Agree with @danieltx 100% re: credibility. If you’re going to spew advice on here, especially the dudes who do it with such “authority”, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to then show you practice what you preach.

And I don’t want to put words in Brad’s mouth but I don’t think he’s saying everyone on here needs to be a competitive bodybuilder. But this is a bodybuilding lifestyle forum and we have dudes on here posting insane drug protocols of grams of gear with no real goals or directions and eating like a 5th grader. And on top of that some are too embarrassed to even post a pic of their physique. Seems pointless…

I don’t mean to dump on @Fleezy because he’s my boy. But it’s a good example of what Brad was talking about. He made a post about taking a gram of Test and 800mgs of NPP with no set goal in mind. That’s a tonnnnnn of gear to take just to take…

I just read this post like 5x over and it's truly a great fucking post that EVERYONE posting on this site should read

Good thread that I missed so I’ll see if I can restart it with a response.

I am trying to be as big as possible, but also maintain endurance and athleticism. I’ve gotten up to 260ish before (5’10) but couldn’t move and health was not on point

Went back down to 230, and now I’m around 245-250.
A main goal of mine is pushing strength and performance goals. I’ve got some goals checked already like a 525 bench and a 815 deadlift. I’d like to see how strong I can get

I don’t want to be a mass monster but I do want to be huge. After I take care of a few career goals that require being in good physical shape, I want to push up to a lean 270

I do admittedly have good genetics, and I’ve had a too many “come to Jesus” talks with IFBB pros and top amateurs about how I should compete than I can count

I still have a lot of room to push with gear. Most I’ve done is 1.5grams total and 10iu GH, never used Slin and only just started using Tren. But my training has always been extremely intense and diet is on point. I just love the process of the bodybuilding lifestyle regardless of the outcome

Honestly next spring or summer I’ll see if Luki is willing to take me on as a client and try to really push things before I get too old

Being the biggest guy in the gym is very different than being the biggest guy in a crowd of normal people.
I’m gettin older so I’m happy if I have the second scenario ( but maintaining symmetry )
Some day I wanna be the biggest guy in the nursing home. Get me some young 60 year olds when I’m 90. lol
