IFBB Pro Beef Stu/Stu Sutherland

[165StateChamp]

Hey fellas

Got my buddy the most mediocre IFBB pro @Beef_Stu_97 here. He just placed top 5 in two open pro shows (NY and Cali) this season and is gearing up to win something and graduate to decent next year. Drop some questions in the thread if you have them, he's looking forward to being a part of the community.

Hello Friendos. Been a lurker on here on and off over the years. I'm pretty much an open book, so shoot.

A warm welcome to PM buddy.
I foresee a brilliant agonistic career for you.
I guess most are mainly interested in the usual stuff: PED's/Training/Nutrition strategies-preferences in off season and pre-contest.
Also what happened to your chest, an overly aroused kitty?

 

[MR. BMJ]

Also, I was wondering if maybe you showed up here because you got jealous of the Sam Sulek thread where everybody was talking about his hair and stuff?

Stu is a pretty rad cat

no cats, used to self harm forever ago in high school. I now use bodybuilding as a substitute for that lol

Woah! I just did a quick google… you’re only 26!!! That’s damn impressive. You’ve got a long runway ahead of you and I for one am really interested in following your journey.

ok let's see, few things off the bat.

Basically where I'm at now, just finished a 8 week rebound cycle after the shows earlier. 500/250/250 test/NPP/EQ, 10iu of optis/day (they call me "10iu Stu"), humalog preworkout for second part of it. 3 weeks into cruise now, 250 test and still doing 10 on the GH and 6 on humalog. bloodwork from 6 weeks post show wasn't too awful, cholesterol was skewed per usual but I use some meds to help with that (atorvastatin+ezetimibe, 10mg each). 3 more weeks in cruise now, then offseason starts for real. attached a few checkin pics from yesterday morning. 268 right now.

Basic plan right now is to do a solid 5-6 months of offseason, keep things rly lean, probably not go over 285 this time, then prep for NY again next year and compete until I can qualify, however long that takes. I'm quitting my construction management job at the end of the month and going full time with coaching and bodybuilding, so I'll be able to compete more next year. Hoping I can get on stage around 260, I was 253 at cali this year.

drug wise, I think I'm pretty standard for someone my size. GH has basically been pegged at 10 IU for the last 2.5 years straight. Only ever used Optitropin Grey Tops in that time, shoutout to Opti to giving me acromegaly. Offseason drugs range from 1.8-2.2g total, about half of that is usually test and the rest is EQ and deca or tren. Rly love tren in the offseason, I hate to confess, I can eat on it great, I don't get mental sides from it for the mostpart. Just rough on bloodwork, so I usually keep runs to 10 weeks max, 3-400mg-ish. nothing fancy drug-wise honestly. I pulse anadrol through offseason as well, love that stuff.

I'm going to probably be a bit more moderate with gear this offseason. I don't need to pile on shitloads of tissue at this point like I did a few years ago. so I'd like to scale back total miligrams to about 1.6-2g. Downright healthy lol.
