Offseason Week 10 Update — 127.5 kg powered by @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep ​

General Overview​

I am feeling absolutely awesome, massive improvements in strength across the board, training has really continued to kick up a notch every single session with progressions in weight and reps on pretty much every single set for the week it was an absolutely insane week of training. My body is feeling ever so slightly beaten up from the huge progressions in the gym but by the time I come around to train that same muscle group again, it is fresh and ready to go. Recovery has been incredible as well even though after each session I feel like I've been hit by a truck for a few hours haha.

Nutrition Update​

Food has been going down beautifully and all meals thoroughly enjoyed with appetite increasing last week I think from the huge metabolic toll training is taking, which is a super ideal position to be in with improving body composition holding 127-128kg but I am still super lean across the board so when I caught up with the coach on Wednesday, he has decided to push training day food up a fair bit. Pumps were crazy the past few days on that food so things are moving super positively.

Following feedback during Wednesday’s check-in, training day food has been increased to further drive performance and progress.

Updated macros:

Training Day:

• 285 g protein
• 775 g carbs (+50)
• 60 g fat (+10)

Non-Training Day (unchanged):

• 285 g protein
• 600 g carbs
• 60 g fat

Training and Recovery​

Training intensity and progression remain exceptionally high. Strength jumps were notable across all sessions, and output continues to scale positively. Fatigue is crazy post-session but not carrying over into consecutive sessions, all recovery metrics feel good.

Cycle Update​

A discussion was prompted where I passed feedback onto my coach that I was contemplating a drug compound dosage adjustment to better support progress, sense of wellbeing and improve some effects of the compounds in play. He shared my thought process surrounding the adjustments and so we went ahead and implemented the adjustments and slight total mg decrease.

PEDs now:

• Testosterone: 630 mg (+105)
• EQ: 1050 mg (reduced) (-175)
• NPP: 70 mg
• HGH: 8 IU (split 4 IU AM / 4 IU PM)
• Retatrutide: 1.5 mg weekly (750 mcg × 2)
• Insulin: None — fasting BG 4.2–4.9 mmol/L and insulin sensitivity extremely high.

Health Supplements:

• Driven Nutrition AXIS
• Citrus Bergamot
• CoQ10
• Magnesium Glycinate
• NAC
• Taurine
• Fish Oil
• Vitamin D3
• Curcumin
• Astragalus
• Glutathione

Current Position and Outlook​

This was one of the strongest training weeks of the entire offseason so far. Performance, pumps, appetite, and recovery are all trending in the right direction. Body composition remains tight and much leaner than I have ever been at this weight and the updated macros and cycle adjustments will just continue driving progress in the coming weeks.

Come such a long way man, keep this up brother love your dedication and commitment next level...

Offseason Week 11 Update! — 128.2 kg - Powered by @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep

General Overview
Feeling absolutely awesome again this week. I honestly feel like a broken record saying how well everything is going, but I’m absolutely stoked with the rate of muscle gain, strength progression, and overall sense of wellbeing. Stress has been a little higher in my personal life, so I think I’m holding a bit of fluid on some days, but overall my body has been extremely predictable. It’s been awesome seeing what such a gentle escalation in calories has done for my physique to kick off this push phase. Everything is flying up — in the gym, on the scales — and condition is holding perfectly.

Training and Recovery Insight
Training has battered my body a little harder this week, definitely noticing the leaner state and the higher frequency of back training. Looking ahead, I’m thinking that within the next 3–6 weeks I’ll shift into next mess and reduce training volume and frequency for back, return it to minimum effective volume, and begin titrating triceps and delts frequency/volume up to start shifting focus in this next block. That should help recover my back properly before next meso, where I might push it back into priority depending on the results from this progression phase.

I personally like to program by undulating training volume over blocks of time, raising the target muscle groups volume by 1-4 working sets over every 4 weeks until maximum recoverable volume is achieved and I start to feel fucked up by the training and then reduce and rinse and repeat the process on a new muscle group. This way, mechanical tension on specific muscle groups is increased linearly over blocks of time achieving progressive overload in both total volume and (ideally for the whole block) load exposure per each individual set as well. It's a way to avoid overloading fatigue systemically by only escalating total volume allocation in specific areas and can minimise nervous system fatigue as well as most other muscle groups don't shift much off minimum effective volume so that all energy can be exerted in what is trying to be progressed at that point in the meso cycle. I have found this to work the best for me and it gives the opportunity for minimal glycogen expenditure in other muscle groups via volume but huge progress in lift numbers as volume is so low. I still need to deload at times but it is extremely rare and I have never progressed so fast and very predictably training this way

Nutrition Update
Food remains unchanged and continues working incredibly well.

Training Day:

• 285 g protein
• 775 g carbs
• 60 g fat

Non-Training Day:

• 285 g protein
• 600 g carbs
• 60 g fat

Cycle Update
All PEDs unchanged from last week:

• Testosterone: 630 mg
• EQ: 1050 mg
• NPP: 70 mg
• HGH: 8 IU (4 IU AM / 4 IU PM)

Current Position and Outlook
Another productive week ticking the boxes and reaping the rewards. Performance, condition, and recovery all remain in an excellent place despite slightly elevated life stress. Body composition is holding perfectly at this bodyweight in my opinion and upcoming training adjustments are getting me hyped.

@PassiveHulk Nice makes on the peds that you're using. Certainly a strong dose of equipoise. I'll be following this closely to see how you do.

bros this is a good one! but why just 70mgs NPP? just for joints right? @PassiveHulk

Is the personal life stress ongoing, temp or fixable?
