Countdown to July competition

[Proximal]

Incredible Charger!

[charger69]

Thank you everyone! You have given me fuel to continue.
I looked at the competition and I doubted myself. That’s the way I am. I started thinking about what Cape said.. that was my inspiration. I am like 5 yr old. I don’t believe in myself. Until I remember what you guys say. I looked in the mirror and my upper body was cabron. I could stand with any of the young uns but the legs got me. I tried to minimize it, but there was just too much difference.
Watch out for next year!

The president of the Mexican Federation called me out during his pre comp speech about how dark I was in the face and the people who wait to the last minute to paint have a disadvantage. He said I was a light skinned person and I look darker than the Mexicans. LOL

Yesterday, I was extremely fatigued. I just wanted to sleep all day. That is not like me. I fell asleep and and didn’t prepare food for the week.
I had to start in today at the gym with legs. The 5th place was attributed to the tree trunks the others had.
I just started low weight and high reps.
One thing I did notice was that I was out of breath easily.
I am only going to work out 1 time per day for this week.

You need to give your CNS a break.

he needs to take a week off , relax , eat in a surplus, and sleep . come off all drugs. as long as your in a cal surplus your not going to lose any gains. in fact you will likely rebound

Maybe a couple weeks TBH. He'd come back re-energized.

[charger69]

Ok, I will take a week off.
I really don’t want to, but it is probably best.

not a fan at all (except in some rare cases) . especially for a bodybuilder. food is going to be your number one 'anabolic ' when coming off drugs. you need to get above maintenance calories as soon as possible. as long as you don't eat dirty every meal and start retaining a ton of water. thats not good and you can actually end up with cardiac edema post contest from rebounding with a ton of water weight.
just stick to your clean diet food, but up the serving size to be in about a 250cal surplus . then add 2 cheat meals post contest and thats it.

staying on your diet and reverse dieting out of it when you goal should be to get healthy is not the best idea. especially when your coming off of the drugs.
your body is starving for the nutrients and the calorie surplus. no point in restricting this longer then you have to.

there are a few exceptions, like women with very sensitive metabolisms that can rebound like crazy post contest that may need to ease their way back to a calorie surplus. but for most guys, and especially bodybuilders, you want to get to a surplus ASAP, but still keep it clean

Well, I am going crazy. I am taking a week off and feel like I’m falling behind.
I’m ready to start bulking LoL
My weight has sort of stabled out around 210. I want to go on stage next year at 219 (15 lbs) above this year). Whatever GH says, I am going to up it a little.
Am also going to push GH out of his comfort zone and challenge him.
I have actually found out that carbs are my friend. I used to limit them because of weight gains, but the GH magic brought muscle gains and not weight gains purce.

What GH was able to do was totally amazing. My body responded very well and quickly. I used to say my body was like an aircraft carrier and took along time to change directions. GH proved that wrong. You realize how ignorant you really are when you work with someone like GH. I am also an impatient person and GH needs to say just let the process do its thing.
People saw me walk in for weigh ins and told me- this year is your year.
I am going to compete at Venice Beach this year.
My standards and expectations have been raised this year. A new and improved version will be constructed.

Well, my week of rest is almost through. I worked long hours instead of the gym. I also drank alcohol. It caused my body to sweat like tren .... wtf????? I woke up wet like I was cycling.
I realized if I do not meal prep, I do not eat that healthy. I just grab what’s available. Wifey is surprised because some of her junk food is missing. LOL
I told her the dog ate it.

I did take time to spend with wifey. Yesterday we went to the beach. My son is 18 so it’s not cool to be with mom and dad . At least that is my take. It has been soooooo long since wifey and I have been out alone. She enjoyed it.
I also made her plant holder shelves. She was thrilled about that. I’m gaining points. I’m not sure how many points the tren took away. LOL

In 5 more weeks we will begin the GH challenge. I am going to spend 1-2 weeks to get back into it. I am going to try and make 2020 a better year than 2019, however that will be difficult to do.

Striving for perfection

You can do anything you set your mind to.

You've already proven that. Now it's just 'lather, rinse, repeat'

This is SO true... To the point where I almost refuse to schedule anything for Sunday nights. My family knows that Sunday night meal prep night.

Looking forward to reading about the continued progress Charger!

Not until next year. I want to gain size especially on my legs. The young boys kick my ass on legs.
I want to compete in Venice Beach next year. Either Labor Day or the 4th of July. I want to compete in Mexicali again against the young ones. I think that I will wait a year and a half and then take a run at it for a pro card in the masters division. I need to see my progression first.

Start site injections every day and stop with cardio imo.

Running is bullshit for legs.

You legs are great btw. They dont have you beat much at all if any.

You saw bad angle photos at a bad timing.
If anything focus more on the pose on legs and looking big 100% of the pose down there.

Your definition was way better than the others.

I am afraid of becoming narcissistic. It’s just not me. Obs and Cape have worked on me and I am much more confident in myself. I started working out again today. I looked in the mirror and I actually looked like a bodybuilder. I usually see myself as a small well conditioned person.
It’s like GH has given me a new life. I have only scraped the surface of what I am capable of. Now I need to break through. Every year I learn new things and my improvements need to get better each year.
When you go to a show and people are there telling you it’s your year, the feeling is overwhelming. All your effort has actually paid off.
It is the other years that makes you though. Not being able to place first makes you dig deeper and opens you up to new ideas and different ways of thinking. Makes you want to work harder. I was just mediocre, and that was not good enough for me. This is where Obs and I are perfectly aligned.
Once again, you put my work ethic and GH’s knowledge together and I foresee good things happening. I just need to stay healthy.

Speaking of healthy, I will be getting some bloods in a couple more weeks. I am interested to see my recuperation.
My BP is still a little high. Around 140. I am concerned about diastolic which is running in the high 80’s.

Can we have a technical update? Where are your calories at? What's your gear plan, etc?

Curious minds want to know : )

I took about 6 days off of everything. I also took a week off of working out. The day after the show I just wanted to sleep all day. That is definitely not me. Presently I am cruising on 150 test and 300 EQ and MK677.
I started using slin this week as a bridge. I need to verify with GH that this will not interfere with the cycle. I am not sure of the cycle, but I know that I will be going into the unknown with this cycle. The results that I am looking for will not be obtained from previous cycles.
