Hello everyone!​

Thanks for having me here! I’m excited to connect with some of the members and get extra support heading into this competition season.

A Bit About Me​

I’m a full-time online bodybuilding coach in my mid to later 20's, and have competed a few times in the past — most recently in 2022. Unfortunately, I had to take an extended break from the stage, but after a long off-season, I’m finally making my return!

Right now, I’m officially 15 weeks out (as of last Saturday) and fully into prep. Big shoutout to @Raptor Labs , the absolute legend, for sponsoring my supplementation into this year’s show — extremely grateful for the support heading into this prep!

---

Training & Background​

• Training since 2014, bodybuilding seriously since 2018
• Coaching since 2021 (with a short break in 2023 due to personal setbacks that took me out of training for about 6 months)
• Back fully locked in since October 2023
• Weight progression: 111kg (Oct 2023) → 141.1kg fasted (Jan 2025)
• Currently sitting at 138.2kg (fasted) as of this week’s check-in

---

Current PED Stack​

• 600mg Testosterone Enanthate
• 700mg Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate)
• 1200mg Primobolan Enanthate

Supportive compounds:

• 10iu Lantus Insulin (AM)
• 10iu Rapid Insulin (Pre-training only)
• 5iu HGH (AM)
• 40mcg Clenbuterol (AM)
• Aromasin used as needed (currently managing with 12.5mg dosed daily)

---

Current Nutrition​

Training Days

• 5005 kcal
• 310g Protein
• 750g Carbohydrates
• 85g Fat

Rest Days

• 4760 kcal
• 310g Protein
• 700g Carbohydrates
• 80g Fat

Still holding a decent amount of food in but making small refinements as digestion, energy, and fullness continue to improve. Appetite is coming up and I’m managing to get through meals much more comfortably than in the peak off-season where I got up to 7,600+ calories 330 protein, 1260 carb and 150 fat.

---

Cardio & Activity​

• Fasted cardio: 105 minutes per week (15 minutes every morning)
• Steps: 6,000 daily

---

Training Split​

• Monday: Legs & Delts
• Tuesday: Chest & Arms
• Wednesday: Rest
• Thursday: Pull
• Friday: Chest & Triceps
• Saturday: Delts & Biceps
• Sunday: Rest

Training has been next-level lately — pumps are insane, strength is progressing week to week, and I’m just feeling more locked in and explosive session to session.

---

Competition Goals​

I’m aiming to compete in Season C IFBB Pro League Australia, leading into Nationals.

---

Progress Photos & Reference​

Will be first uploading check-in pics from this week at 138.2kg (304lbs) along with shots from October 2022, a couple days out from where I competed at 100.6kg (221lbs)

Final Thoughts​

This sport is what I live for. I love the structure, the challenge, and especially the opportunity to share and learn with other serious lifters and competitors. If you have any questions, want to discuss protocols, or just follow the log — I'm here for all of it. Excited for what’s ahead.

Let’s fkn go.

Looking sharp, man — awesome to see you back at it! Big numbers all around and clearly locked in. Subbed to follow the journey - let’s fkn go

@samdecosta welcome bro what you cycling like?

 

[PassiveHulk]

i would still eventually transition to the GLP1's

I will I reckon closer to the show when hunger starts creeping hard and affecting my sleep, looking at some retatrutide. My biggest issue last prep was sleeping as I would wake up multiple times throughout the night due to hunger so gonna make sure that stays unnafected

looking mean brother, are you now an EQ lover?

I really am now hahaha it's my favourite behind primo, depending how it affects bloodwork it could be my favourite as tbh I think I prefer the feeling on it than what I do with primo, definitely stronger and fuller

The count down is on!
you made @BodyMonster34 proud bro, Tren the world!

ohh hello EQ

Hell yeah sir hahahaha

Looking good bro! I like your plan and layout

Thank you brother!

can't wait to rub our abs together when we are peeled @PassiveHulk

only if we can rub our shrivelled... wait a second maybe not here

Looking sharp, man — awesome to see you back at it! Big numbers all around and clearly locked in. Subbed to follow the journey - let’s fkn go

Thank you mate! Very locked in and excited to see it through into this competitive season! Thank you so much bro! I appreciate the support!

the reta doesn't cause hypo or appetite issues like that

the reta doesn't cause hypo or appetite issues like that

I was speaking about reducing appetite with the reta to enable me to sleep better, when I get deep into a deficit, the hunger causes disruptions in sleep for me. It also can be a reason for hypos if you are extremely insulin sensitive, eat a high carb low fat meal and cause a large insulin response, it's unusual but can definitely happen

Check-In Update – 12 Weeks Out @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep ​

Still seeing continued improvements across the board. This week I’ve dropped to a fasted check-in weight of 135.1kg on Friday, with a new low of 134.0kg hit this morning after updated nutrition changes kicked in yesterday.

Body composition is visibly improving day by day, waist is coming in tighter, and although I’m starting to flatten out slightly (both physically and emotionally), conditioning is progressing beautifully and gym performance is still absolutely wild.

---

Progress Reflections​

Not too many deep thoughts this week — I feel good, but noticeably flatter. Hunger has eased off a little, and emotionally I’ve just felt a little down. Sex drive has dropped off, which I noticed even before pulling test down, so I’m a little wary of the further drop this week. That said, tren usually gives me a lift, so we’ll see what happens there as I titrate it up.

Training is still absolutely flying. Every lift is progressing session to session. I genuinely think the EQ is making a major difference here — feeling like an animal in the gym with strong, stable, pumped-out sessions. Easily the most consistent strength progression phase I’ve ever experienced.

---

Cardio & Activity​

• Cardio: 175 minutes/week
  → 25 minutes fasted daily
• Steps: 6,000+ daily (average around 7,200 most days)

---

Training Split​

• Monday: Legs & Delts
• Tuesday: Chest & Arms
• Wednesday: Rest
• Thursday: Pull
• Friday: Chest & Triceps
• Saturday: Delts & Biceps
• Sunday: Rest

Nutrition Update​

Further food drop this week to keep fat loss rolling — appetite still decent, but manageable. Fat is coming off fast and body is responding predictably.

Training Days (TD)​

• 4315 kcal
• 310g Protein
• 600g Carbohydrates
• 75g Fat

Non-Training Days (NTD)​

• 3955 kcal
• 310g Protein
• 510g Carbohydrates
• 75g Fat

PEDs – Current Stack​

Couple of key changes this week — Test has been reduced slightly to create space for Tren and Anavar when they’re in at full doses. Starting a low Tren base now to gauge response and adjust upward. Also adding MOTS-c later this week — very curious to trial it after seeing impressive effects on fat loss in people close to me.

• Testosterone Enanthate – 500mg/week (dropped from 600mg)
• Primobolan Enanthate – 1200mg/week
• Equipoise – 700mg/week
• Trenbolone Acetate – 70mg/week (10mg daily, just added, @BodyMonster34 I know you'll be upset it's so little but at least it's in now )
• HGH – 6IU/day (split 4IU AM + 2IU pre-training)
• Clenbuterol – 60mcg AM
• Aromasin – 12.5mg daily
• BPC-157 – 1mg daily
• TB500 – 1mg, 3x per week
• MOTS-c – being introduced later this week (fat loss trial)
• All AAS still pinned daily to manage oil volume and stability
• Insulin – removed fully

---

Current Weight:​

• 135.1kg fasted (Friday check-in)
• 134.0kg new low this morning (post-nutritional changes)

Keep me posted on the MOTS-C , really curious to see how you go with it brother. I find its effect on my mental clarity and energy throughout the day is something worth noting. Would be interested to know if it does something similar for yourself alongside the fat loss aspect.

yes it can happen in extreme situations
but i read a study on it with 20000 people where 0 of them had hypo issues but i guess they had their diets monitored
