So since I last logged I have finally got my offseason in full flow (after I dropped the weight gained from one to many waffles in Amsterdam) haha
I will outline my new diet / cardio / anabolic set up below but to summarise diet is up a good chunk – and expenditure is much lower from both cardio output and steps
2 weeks into this phase now and I am really seeing some positive changes visually – only 3lbs up (thought I’d be way heavier given the shift in thermodynamics) but my body is on fire – appetite is sky high and still scraping my oat bowl as I was one week out 😅
But the look is significantly better – zero regression of condition and solely fullness added. This re iterates the fact that being patient in a diet phase and getting leaner than most would say you ‘should’ in a ‘mini diet’ has truly paid off.
Essentially I am getting a rebound as I had completed – stronger in the gym – visually fuller and scale weight is slowly creeping up – the dream scenario especially given anabolics have only just gone in and I have a full run at this now
Since reversing calories up energy is has improved significantly which has translated directly to a big shift in performance in the gym.
The training regime hasn’t changed at all- the only changes are a handful of more working sets on hamstrings / lat / chest / arms which are my main focus areas – but still running PP OFF LEGS OFF with a low volume approach
I have a very good feeling about this next phase, never have I been in such a good spot to reverse out of a diet both mentally and physically.
I will be covering all of this in further detail – in my ‘road to pro’ zoom webinar this Saturday 27th August – zoom link in my bio.
So my current diet is as the below:
Training day nutrition
- meal 1
100g oats
40g whey isolate
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
100g berries
Anabolics Weekly
500mg Test E
600mg Primo
400mg Mast E
100mg Tren A
100mg NPP
25mg proviron daily
4iu GH daily
100mcg T4
25mcg T3
The message I have finally been waiting to post – the mini diet phase is in its final week.. hallelujah
Mentally since I last posted its been pretty tough, feeling as if I was on prep – brain fog, zero energy, zero libido and just generally f*cked haha
I find it very easy to switch on and embrace the suffering for prep – as there’s that distinguished end goal, but since this is just a recomp to give me a runway for progression to push back up – its been hard to accept feeling like sh*t! But needs must and I havent missed a beat as I do truly recognise the importance of this phase in the bigger timeline of being the best on stage next year.
So in total we have pulled off 21lb.. current look is on my latest IG post and I must admit I am pretty happy with it, still 14lb~ above last years stage weight so no where near ‘peeled’ – but in 4 weeks time I could push and step and stage if I really wanted.
Some have been asking me why I don’t just jump into a show – but for me its not about competing, its about improving. I never want to stand on stage and look the same or ‘a little bit better’ – I want to turn up and be unrecognisable and really leave a mark so I know the next phase of offseason will allow me to do exactly that.
Today being Sunday, I head to Amsterdam with Liv for my birthday weekend which marks the official end of the mini diet (chances are after Amsterdam munchies I might need a few days to pull over the water hahah) – so I will deload for 4 days whilst I am there, then when we get back its all systems go for offseason.
The final set up for this diet phase has been as follows:
TD Cardio – 40 mins fasted / 10k steps
NTD Cardio – 40 mins fasted / 12k Steps
When I receive my new plans from Kuba this week I will do a further update as to how the plan is going to look for the beginning of offseason, no doubt cardio will quickly come down and calories bumped to get that initial drop of fatigue and shift in fullness.. then it will be a slow and steady ascent up to peak bodyweight at the end of this cycle which is currently mapped out just prior to Christmas this year!
Lets get massive.
