That's a ton of gear for nats. Do you need those doses in order to grow or are you experimenting a bit too?

I was top 5 at nats last year in supers. not going to say which nationals to protect my identity on here BUT I have never ran anything close to that before personally. Just curious by looking at it Im guessing you have high BP in your offseasons with the mutliple bp meds?

If you're doing NPC Nationals in fall we may run into each other would be pretty cool.
Give us your cycle for nationals , I’m interested. Especially you say you’re in the heavy’s

prep or offseason cycle?

A normal off season blast for me is
500mg test titrate up to 750
300-400 deca
200 mast
Adex
4iu GH a night

Sometimes depending on what coach wants to do we might add in a very small bit of lantus (10-12 units max) but this is for short periods of time and it’s not every blast.

I’d definitely go up on the GH to atleast 10 units

Why are you using metformin and Reta? Reta is going to improve your insulin sensitivity


Just my opinion
Metformin is just what I’m on now and used to. It will likely be the first thing dropped if the others do what they need to.

There’s a lot of glucose control there so I will likely pull back on that if they are unnecessary or make me go hypo.

Love the thoughts behind the design of this cycle. My interest too is peaked about the pioglitazone.

Really curious about your Increlex experience so far? Have you absolutely mutated on a daily basis as Steve claims? I've been on the hunt for some to run myself, finding 1st hand current experience is rare so I had to chime in :)

Also. Any unwanted sides from the reta so far? I started to get intense headaches, joint pain, extremely flat and weak, no pump in the gym. I backed off to 0.25mg 3x week and only some joint pain remains. Experience anything like that ever?

totally understandable, was holding out that it would have been a larger chain.
Ive been hunting for one but it seems like around here its like $200+ per scan and crazy wait times
Check out Bodyspec, which comes to $39.99 monthly.

Just got all my bloodwork back and talked to Coach today. So this will be kicked off later this week. Can report back if there’s interest

Ofcourse yes. I was under the impression it was underway. If u haven't used reta before start small. 1mg may be just fine but I was getting those symptoms from 0.75mg shots (m w f though)

Glucose will be intensely monitored though I don’t believe I’ll have issues. The only side effect I ever have from AAS has been insulin resistance so trying to mitigate that here.

This is prospective and still needs to be discussed with coach after recent bloodwork is complete.

Let’s hear it!
Damn that's something I've never seen before.
Curious to see what your physique looks like.

I think on this I’m honestly more worried about going hypo. GH is causing a bit of resistance, but through the insulin, Reta, Increlex (and yes real 😂), metformin, and pioglitazone, there’s a lot of insulin sensitizers and glucose agents in that mix.
pics or I have no opinion bro.

How’d the increlex treating you big dog? @CaptainAmerica
Man… been slacking for a sec on the board. Sorry for late reply.

But Increlex has been good so far. Only using it on quad and push days as those are my weak points. On those days the pump is pretty incredible and I didn’t know this but it also increases working capacity. Able to go for more sets and heavier as well all 3 of which are leading to progress.

Coach confirms last 8 weeks have seen some pretty significant progress in those two areas so something is definitely working.

Unfortunately just confirmed this week, I will not be doing a show this year. Coach’s words, I would not place where I should and where he knows I can given the injury setback at this point given a 4-5 month prep and already being June.

I need to make more improvements in the chest and quads and I’d have it. So this means I will be doing a regional to qualify again then a national pretty soon after. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️
