Long Off-Season to Classic D Class Weight Cap

[atruse]

Rest
Weight: 113.5kg/ 250.2lbs
New highest. Hit 250 fasted!

Great job man.
Just over 12 months to hit? By your log anyway haha
That’s crazy good progress and commitment

I’m on a similar plan to hit 240 from 200 over 2026, your log has been a great blueprint for success

Appreciate you sharing the journey

 

[Slowww]

i do the same for weakside.

just rep pause set, same weight just 1 extra set per set of unilateral excerises.

cant do cluster sets, the pain is undescribeable lmao

Yeah man the clusters are brutal when you get the lactic acid + failure from strength. Do you feel the RP is for the weak side helps it catch up ? I use RP for weak side and strong side but just let the strong side match the weak one, so only let the weak go to failure. Do you do a flat set with strong and RP for weak?

i've always liked you and think we agree on alot of stuff in the gym, peds, and diet. and think i could learn from you. very knowledgeable and very experienced guy, you should defiently make money of your experience.

if you link the podcast i will defiently subscribe!

Thank you bro! But Idk if I’m ready to make money giving advice and so on. I feel like I would want to be a real expert or it would feel like I’m grifting. Like at least a couple more years of experience since Im still learning about certain topics. It’s more just about wanting to share some of our personal experiences that we found helpful. I’ll link it when we get it done, I appreciate the support man!

From the weight I was at in the log yes, so like 45lbs since then. It’s not my first cycle, I competed in PL before that. This log started when I decided I’m going to compete in BB and give it 100%.

I think you can totally do it bro! Just need to keep it focused and on task. That’s all it is really. Check the boxes, do the work and for sure the growth is gonna happen.

took me a few months and i truly dont have a weak side anymore. but i dont drop weight either, its a way to go even beyond failure and you are gonna be so sore after. i will do this for 1 full split so chest,back,legs,arms,shoulders every last set of a excerise gets a rest pause set on my weak side always finishing off with a unilateral excerise.

example:

3x10

1x5 same weight on weak side only

normal excerises also get a rest pause set every last set of the excerise. just because it works so good, its like adding a extra set of hard guranteed failure without wait time.

3x10 500kg chest press

1x5 500kg chest press rest pause

and then next chest,backs,legs,arms,shoulder or whatever split you do i will not do rest pause.

so basically 1 week with it 1 week without as to prevent injury because its fucking brutal.

you can program however you are comfortable with, this works best for me

Thank you bro! But Idk if I’m ready to make money giving advice and so on. I feel like I would want to be a real expert or it would feel like I’m grifting

be more confident, the community is filled with shitheads giving bad advice. you learn as you go, this is the best kind of development people like.

dont do rest pause sets for bench press, biceps, barbell squats, deadlifts or excerises you can injure yourself easily with.

 

[Slowww]

Im not going to discuss dosages but just want to note this for my own personal use in the future.

I tried npp again, but gyno symptoms sterted to occur on a very low dosage. I basically cannot tolerate the compound at anything higher than 100mg without needed to use caber at even a small amount. And I really mean I was not pushing it at all. conservative starter dose. I have caber coming in, but shouldn’t need it with ment.

So ment will be back in, for my full off season. I am just extremely sensitive to NPP, after 2 days off the gyno symptoms (puffiness, sensation) already have stopped and reversed.

Live and learn yeah. NPP is going to be a tool that basically lives at the bottom of the box.

Thursday: pull 2,
weight:113.3kg/249.8

Some might be wrong on this pull session. I had a really hard couple of days and didn’t write all my sets during the session because I wanted to stay off my phone and focused in, but then addressing some things after, and getting back to my other responsibilities i didnt have time to note.

FRIDAY PUSH 2
Weight: 112.8/248.7lbs

This is all 100% correctly logged. Got back in a place where I could focus and write shit down. Before my session yesterday I had a lot of bad news this week. Yesterday my wife fell ill again, and had to go to the hospital. Earlier this year her kidneys were failing and it was uncertain if she would make it because some blood values were really insane. She took meds and changed her diet, had to gain fat and her kidney health improved. However this week her symptoms returned and she went to the hospital but some blood values are dangerously high again. At the end of the week we will know if she will have a biopsy and be hospitalized. Then I found out a friend died the night before due to a heart attack. I really hope everyone can stay healthy and monitor their health. He didnt juice, and was the same age (eaely 30s), so please everyone be careful. People slip away just like that. Finally my workplace will potentially stop operating, and half of everyone’s wages went unpaid from the last month, so coworkers have been anxious, considering a class action lawsuit because the way it is ending operations is basically unlawful.

yippee, MENT.

really strange that MENT, which everyone calls a one way ticket to Gyno is more tolerable than regular old nandrolone for you.

Yah I was going to ask about whether you see and large increase in e2 on ment, vs prolactin on npp

I’ve thought about adding ment in with primo to help to that effect but haven’t heard much anecdotal experiences with ment in general

 

[Slowww]

I’ve thought about adding ment in with primo to help to that effect but haven’t heard much anecdotal experiences with ment in general

I have naturally high prolactin (before I started gear it was nearly out of range), and the npp causes my prolactin to become worse. When I was powerlifting I used some npp, tried to spam arimidex, and it did nothing bloodwork showed e2 was too low after and I had libido function issues, but still gyno continued to progress.

Ment does not affect my prolactin, and I don’t get an increase at all in e2. I have done blood work, and my e2 was totally fine for 750 test, which is my bread and butter full cycle. The problem I ran into with ment was the methylated estradiol, which does not appear on the blood assays i have access to. So prolactin and e2 are totally normal, but thet can be an invisible issue

Im unaware that primo would do any good to manage the sides, since ment causes different metabolites afaik

 

[Slowww]

Yeah, I with ment i have normal e2 and can limit the methylated estradiol by moderating dosages but still get a huge anabolic effect , and jt doesn't effect my prolactin as much, but npp causes it to sky rocket.

Legs 2
Weight: 112.8/247.8

Very happy about off season progress this week— gyno is very quickly resolving. ment strength already coming in. Hit 8 plates for my leg extension today, so it’s been +60lbs in the last 10 days… crazy
Think Im getting sick though. Not dealing with stress super well right now. Will see how it goes. Going to keep pushing as per usual.


Abductor adductor

1x12 180, & 1x10 200
1x10 180 & 1x10 200

FST7 7x7 80 & 7x7 110





MACHINE GLUTE KICKBACKS

2x10 180





LEG PRESS- FEET LOW AND CLOSE

1x10 320
Cluster 4x5 220kg



BELT SQUAT

1x8 260kg
Back into correct working range after fixing technique. Great! These are much nastier more Grindy sets without the posterior involvement.

RP 1x20 180kg (12+3+5)
Adjusted this very well. Really challenging set but right where the load needed to be. Will move this one by 5kg per session.



LEG EXTENSION

1x10 180kg
TDS 8+3+5 180-140-100kh



Single leg vertical HAMSTRING CURLS

Changed technique a bit, standing fully straight, not hinged over. So I have completely taken the lower back and glutes out of this movement. I had to lower the weight and I will have to again next time because it’s much heavier on only hamstring. I will need to lower the load again for first set next time. I felt the connection much better in upper part of hamstring bicep closer to glute where the line is. So I think this will develop the lines better, not just the drop.

1x6 40kg
555 20kg





WALKING LUNGES

2x6 100







SEATED OR STANDING CALF
RAISES (KNEES STRAIGHT)

1x15 220kg standing
35 reps giant set from 220kg down

 

[william23kelly]

Very impressive!

 

[mimovic]

Sorry bro. My bad.

The exercise i've never seen is the crossbody SA pulldown. Can you point me in the right direction?

 

[Slowww]

Weekly average +.73kg/1.5klbs
Weekly high fasted & at night - 250 & 254lbs

Blood glucose stable at 4.9mmol
Tightened up a bit, glute lines are back.
Quarter turns are getting much more consistent, so are back poses. I can get them on first shot without trouble now. Last two I need to ab & thigh variation & double bicep variation. Want to get them to be same each time I do the pose.

 

[BulkBuddy]

That's a solid plan! Rebounding after a cut can be tricky, but it sounds like you've got a good handle on things with your coach. How are you feeling with the reintroduction of carbs and the increased calories? 6lbs in the first week sounds promising!

Nice flat press PR, btw!
