Hello everyone! I've been lurking here for a while now, and having finished my first classic physique show last month, I figured I should start posting my workouts publicly for adherence and for anyone to chime in with whatever they will please. All input is welcome and appreciated!
Stats:
Age: 25
Height: 5'8"
Stage Weight: 181.4 depleted (Carb loaded after this)
Goals:
Put on as much stage weight and size weight as I can over the next six plus months. I'm not afraid of getting sloppy. I have a background in competitive powerlifting (best lifts in meet of 570/391/630, gym 600/???/650) at 198 and 220 and might consider stepping back on that platform at the end of the year, but my primary focus isn't on that. I would like my next show to be in BB'ing instead of classic physique as I don't think I have the build type for it and have always been fascinated with the idea of being larger anyway.
Methodology:
With a background in powerlifting, I like my heavy compound movements. I ruptured the muscle belly of my left pec two years ago though, so I have been restricted when it comes to bench pressing and upper body development. During my show prep, I finally gave machines + BPC 157 and TB500 a try and I have been able to get away with those despite some limitations. I am hoping calories helps improve upon that.
As the title states, my workouts are also heavily inspired by Dante Trudel. Ideally, my workouts will be frequent and short with an emphasis on beating the logbook each and every time I step into the gym. I've never been a high protein guy, so I am giving this a shot this time around. Macros may change, especially if bodyfat creeps too high, but it's currently set at 450p, 600c and 50-60f. Though I am skeptical about it, carb sources are relatively low glycemic and high fiber at all times other than post workout. I switch carb sources, but my personal favorite are old-fashioned oats.
Supplements of Note
-- 200 test cyp/week
-- 25 mg mk-677/day
-- 4 iu meditrope/day split into 1 iu doses (first time using gh)
-- 20 iu latnus (to keep FBG under check as mk-677 elevates it on me)
-- 5 iu novalin-r pre
-- 5 iu novorapid post
-- GDAs with meals (Berberine, R-ALA, Metformin, etc)
