Countdown to July competition

[charger69]

One week off my last competition. Now going for my next one. I also have GH in my corner who gave great results after only 4 weeks.
I am 52 and am going against the big boys. I proved last competition that I still have what it takes to go up against someone half my age.
I have 10 weeks. I am going to cruise for about 5 weeks. ( 4 more).
GH has me going different than I would have, however he has gained my trust- which is not easy. He had me coming in to the last comp at my best shape yet.
My goal is to come in 5 lbs heavier than the last competition. I am not sure if that is possible, but sit back, buckle up, and be prepared for a wild ride.
Tomorrow I will talk about my cruise cycle.

I want people to give their experiences also. I do not know everything. I will follow GH’s plan for this competition however there may be things I want to try after the competition.

I was sitting back and wondering why GH would have me on primo. I have used primo before but it was a long time ago. Primo is DHT based and is mainly used for cut cycles- to maintain muscle while in a deficit.I mainly use Winnie and mast for cutting.
If I follow Piana’s advice, it should only be used by females. Well, maybe I’m gay. LOL
The error that Piana made was he ran it by itself. It is rarely run by itself because it shuts you down. I guess he was expecting to see muscle growth.
Primo does not aromatize and has little sides. I will be taking it with test and I found out after reading numerous articles that primo raises your free T.

I have started back in on my strict diet, working out 2x day, and the beloved cardio. I didn’t keep track, but my weight was fluctuating and it may have been the injection days of primo??

What do your days look look Charger? Is your morning workout just cardio? Do you take any days off?

Thanks!

I’m up at 3 am and do about 1 hour in the morning of major muscle groups. The evening g workouts are smaller muscles/ muscles I want to concentrate on and first 20 minutes of HIIt.
I usually take Saturday off. Friday and Sunday are 1 x per day.
I am sure GH will make adjustments.

Damn you beast. Go for it.

[charger69]

Well, I’m out of Primo hopefully I get my shipment today or tomorrow. I took 15 iu of slin pre workout- which was an error. Too much too quick. I went hypo... I forgot what. Wonderful feeling that is. LOL
I was going to take 15 post, but I couldn’t find the other pin. Probably best. I fell asleep at work. The slin made me sooooooo tired.
I did legs.
I am working wide stance today and normal stance on the other day.
Wide leg press Ss high hack (hamstrings)
Sumo squat ss rev lunges
Leg extension ss leg curl

I am pissed. I saw a photo of the side chest at the competition.chest and arms look great, but I didn’t sit on it and my leg looks smaller than it is. Maybe I was coming out of my pose but I doubt it.
Every day until the competition I am going to pose side chest 10 x day. I am going to have it so that it is second nature to do the pose. I cannot afford to miss the pose. I must demand excellence. There is no room for missing a pose. I’m going up against some monsters that are huge.
It is easy with everything going on to miss a pose. Tighten every muscle, get at the right angle, get to the proper height, know exactly how you look without being able to see it, hide your defects and knowing the exact placement to still show your strengths. All of this with a very small loin cloth (posing trunks) with the lights pointed at you and hundreds of people watching. It needs to be second nature, you can’t think about it.
I am pushing the weight up- more than usual. I am trying to shock my muscles. I haven’t been low reps (6-10) in about 6 months. My knees are bothering me a little, maybe some Winnie still in me.

I started HIIT last night...... well, let’s say I tried. Damn only two weeks without doing HIIT and I struggled. Couldn’t make the full 20’minutes. Maybe the weight gain played a role also. I weighed in at 212.4 this morning. A gain of 1 lb from yesterday.

I look nice and full with my clothes on, but fat with them off. I lost the deep abs.

Practice your routine everyday until you don’t think about it you just do it.

[charger69]

I got some extra sleep today. I think the slin screwed me up. It seemed like the 3 iu in the afternoon also had me a little hypo. Wtf?
I took 10 pre and 10 post and I didn’t even need my drink and I was fine.
Yesterday I took 15 pre and went hypo. I ate almost 3 cups of rice. No post slin. Tired all day.
Today 10 pre and 10 post- didn’t need my drink. And everything is fine.
I did the Cape today! I got to the gym late so a rest period of 45 seconds and rep range 6-8. I felt so good afterwards. I needed that change up.

I had no idea this was a thing. A buddy of mine just did his first competition and he had no idea how to pose without looking in a mirror. He was completely disoriented and had no idea how he looked. These are the details that makes Charger's logs so helpful.

It sure what happened the day before with slin, yesterday and todayeverything was fine @ 10 iu post and pre.
Weight 213.9.

Last night, the cardio started feeling a bit better. Knees are killing me.
Doing the Cape all week. The change feels good.
I went and saw a Dr yesterday to get a physical. He couldn’t believe the change in 5 months of my cholesterol. 5 months ago it was good and when I went to ER it was outside the limit. I wanted to tel him, “it’s called contest prep and all the AAS that goes with it. LOL
I think I am probably going to see where I am at and get bloods in Mex. he wants me to in July. Contest prep again. LOL
I am no longer going to see the cardiologist since my insurance did not approve the 30 day monitor.
The funny thing is, the cardiologist says bp above 120 is high, I had 135/75 and my Dr said not bad. It is still coming down.

The problem with doc's and BP. Most times they have the nurse take it immediately when you walk in and sit down. It's also inherently normal to be anxious in a doc's office. There's almost always a noticable drop in BP from the beginning of the appt to at the end. I've argued with staff about this before over this and refused it until the end of the appt. The nurses are always in a rush to just get it done.

Nobody can do the Cape for a week except Cape.

I wouldn’t bother going to a doctor until a month after the last show. Said it before. Just said it again.

[charger69]

Agreed. I am also going to pursue TRT again. I think I found a Dr that is open to it.
The last time my Dr sent me to a female endo. A fucking female.
I definitely qualified but she said the risk was not worth the reward.
She offered no alternative to symptoms.... basically said deal with it.

Thursday night I worked late so no cardio. I weighed in at 216.3. I need to get back to maintaining weight and losing fat. I am gaining too much weight.
I did complete the week doing the Cape for a workout. I haven’t decided if I continue or not.
I just want to be at the gym to prepare.
Tomorrow is leg day. I have been beating the crap out of my legs and my knees are killing me. I’m going heavy tomorrow. I’m also going 15 pre and post of slin. I need to watch my food intake.
I am also trying to get my androgen receptors clean so I am just cruising. I guess I’m like Obs and don’t want to give my system a rest by just cruising. I also am not taking stimulants. The ephedrine waves at me every time I open the cabinet. LOL
My BP is finally coming down. It took awhile. It’s still in the 130’s so I am hoping it comes down to 120.

That’s incredible! It’s amazing that a 300lb guy can move like that. Love the control when he’s doing the headstand

Don’t underestimate the cardio needed for this. I thought I had to do 1:30 of posing. I Ended every time keeled over gasping for breath.

9 weeks to go. I am getting a little impatient with my training, lack of cycle, and weight gain.
Training- I just feel that I need to spend more time in the gym. I know that I grow outside the gym, but I want to make sure that I am optimizing my results from my time in the gym. Today is an off day, but I may go to do LISS.
Lack of cycle- I am trying to get my androgen receptors clean. I am going 5 weeks on cruise and then 6 weeks on blast. I normally do stop for 5 weeks but not usually between comps like this. Right now I would probably be on NPP, tren and mas and test. I need to be open to the GH methods. It’s hard when you have prepared for numerous shows the same way.
Weight gain- I am at 213. I have not been very strict with my diet. I now need to tighten it up since I am not cutting for the normal amount of time.

214.5 today. Weight bounces up and down.
I injected primo and test in my biceps and it was hurting a little during arm workout. I have injected tren , test, mast and never had an issue. I think it may be the primo. Legs are killing me. Getting up out of a chair never made me feel so old before.
I changed my routine to 4 sets (15,12,10,8 reps) increasing the weight each set. Also doing supersets with 1-1.5 minutes of rest.

My freaking knees are killing me. I did legs today. I can’t sit for long periods of time. I need to get up and stretch.
I think my cholesterol and liver should be back within limits. I’m going to Mexico and getting blood work done to verify. Here, in the wonderful state of CA, I need to have the Dr order blood tests. I can’t just walk up and get it done.
When I get blood tests done while on a heavy cycle, I have the Dr’s scratching their heads as to how I can change so quickly with the results. I just want to tell them, “it’s the tren ”. LOL
I am a little concerned with my weight. I weighed in at 216 this morning. I ate carbs late last night because I was hungry.
I gave in to temptation..... I did an EC stack this morning. The EC stack will help me control my weight.
I had one guy ask if I competed this morning. I do t know where that came from. I feel fat. Then another guy calls me the beast mode. I do not feel that I am living up to that name with the extra weight. My workouts are going good and I am going heavier. I am beating the shit out of my legs. I need them to grow.
I am taking creatine and will probably stop in a couple of weeks to prevent water storage.

This shit is getting real. I need to grow!

Can you just walk In to a clinic in Mexico and get bloods done? How many pesos that cost?

Yea, I just show up fasted.
Not much. It depends on the blood test. I think I got the whole 9 yards....test (both) , estrogen , full metabolic, liver, kidneys, etc for about $140.

Conquer your Goals!
I think that I have stabilized my weight. I’m sitting at 216.
I’m feeling good. I looked a little freaky today. The veins were popping in my arms during my back workout.
I am going to start using knee wraps when doing legs. I feel like an old man. I can’t sit still with my knees.
I am still feeling the bicep injection. It feels like there is a lot of pressure. I am still unsure of what happened. I injected in the quad and lat and no issues.
I guess the primo is adversely affecting my prostrate. I took my prostrate meds just in case.
Trying to compete at my age has its extra challenges. LOL
