Absolutely it is a huge driving force why I am going for it before it is to late and I regert it.It is so awesome to hear that the community is what pushed you over the edge to commit to competing. This is what it is built for......supporting each other. I can bet that your logs will do the same for multiple other people!!! Happy birthday broski!
@Noah Wixx Good updates bro......Thursday August 29 2024
@domestic-supply.com
In two days time I will turn 36 years old and I mention that because while I've always loved bodybuilding and working out, I never thought in a million years at the age of 35-36 I'd be trying to one day step on stage and compete in bodybuilding nor did I ever think I would be shooting for a pro card as my long term vison/goal
Being part of the community and running these logs gave me the confidence I always needed but never had in myself to step into the unknown and go for this before it is to late and I live with regret for not trying when I have the chance.
One person believing in me then turned into an entire community believing in me, and it's pushed me in so many ways mentally and physically and I am so thankful, he'll without you all I never would have left my old gym, step into the unknown and started all over again, or be training for a shows and doing something that terrifies me.
I believe in life in order for growth i must do the things that are uncomfortable and face my fears head on and bring the best version of me out at the end of it all.
I was exhausted today and only had an hour to make it work in the gym today I got called in early for work. My routine today was a bit different, for how tired I was, I was very strong and had a killer workout today.
I was still shocked even though it was mostly machines and cable work I made leaps in strength ( Incline Press most I've ever done on a machine was 120-130lbs
Not sure why i got strong so quick, but hell i will glady aceept it.
Enjoy the update!

Nice workout!Tuesday August 20 2024
@domestic-supply.com
I will start out and say during low seated cable rows, I stretched to far forward and felt something in the left lower outside back pull and get tweaked ( I just set thr weight down and knew I couldn't do that movement anymore, thankfully dumbbell one arm rows felt fine so I put those in place of the cable rows.
My back hurt when I would go from a Seated position to standing or laying down and getting up, not a good feeling. I then got the idea in my head ( long shot but worth a try) what if I load up 500mcg of bpc157 into a slin pin and spot inject into the tweaked area.
That injection was hard even with a mirror because of the placement, we got it to work, so I waited 3 hours after injection and hit the gym. Today was my push day.
I believe for my specific situation my body just responds well with healing peptides, few hours later I could bend better I could move better and during my workout I had very minor discomfort, I could feel it but it didn't hurt and it didn't prevent me from doing any of my lifts or my cardio.
I was pleasantly surprised because before that bpc157 injection no way was I gonna even try and workout, bpc157 helped me stay in the gym and get it done. I can still feel the tweaked muscle and pain, it's nowhere near what It was this morning or last night, I'm still shocked one injection did so much for me.
I will contiune to monitor the muscle tweak and experiment with bpc157 into the problem area and report back my findings and experience with healing, it definitely is no close to be healed I don't want to give the wrong impression, it did help me crush a crazy long workout today and not take it easy on myself and hours later, still discomfort but not preventing me from being comfortable, more of I know it exists and I can feel it but not alot of pain like yesterday before I utilized the bpc157 today.
Enjoy the update everyone!

BIG LIFTING and huge arms @Noah WixxThursday September 26 2024
@domestic-supply.com
I Hope everyone is doing well
Big update for this one!
I set a goal of arnold rowing ( aka t-bar row essentially ) 300lbs for reps i am happy I can report I hit 300lbs for one set of 10 reps, this version your hand placement is around the barbell gripping from underneath the barbell.
I will put plenty of photos in this update.
I know some of you are gonna ask when you see the photos, so for clarification, no I didn't pull the weight with the row utilizing my lower back, I utilized my hamstrings and glutes chest up core tight pulling the weight with my elbows keeping everything nice and tight, yes I had to bend completely over to grip the weight I squatted down to stabilize it.
I am not one of these people who carry a backpack with 50lbs of camera equipment and a tripod, so don't flame me in the comments about my camera placement lol. I am just one man documenting my jounery with a cellphone, so I don't get the best shots at times.
I recorded a video and tried my hand at creating a gif so you all could see my anrold row, sadly it won't let me post the gif or video here, I just took screen shots of the lift in it's entirety.
I will say among hitting 300lbs on rows, my bicep progression has come a very long way since 2023 when I first started running cycles, another thing of note my spider web veins are starting to really shine and show up again in my front delts, those veins and vascularity had always been my favorite, bicep veins are coming along nicely as well as my forearm progression.
I truly believe in the short time since switching gyms it has increased my growth and progression in many ways, notably my middle and upper back I notice when putting on my shirts that I know fit, they are fitting tighter around my back and at one point I thought they shrunk in the wash, nope my back just grew to the point I thought I shrink my shirts lol.
A year ago if you would have asked me if thr gym matters I would have said no, fast forward into changing gyms and witnessing myself grow stronger and transform with my strength and my lifts and a deeper drive, I Will tell you today the right gym for you really does matter and make a difference in my personal experience.

real man lifting here @Noah WixxMonday September 30 2024
@domestic-supply.com
I decided I would switch it up and little today, since transferring into this new gym, I have been eyeing up the decline bench press, after preforming my sets and getting a feel for it, that movement has become one of my new favorite chest movements.
I didn't go crazy with the weight I did 200lbs for 12 and I could have done more, I think I could easily hit 225lbs or a little more.
The movement felt very comfortable pump was good, no shoulder pain or discomfort, sometimes I don't flat bench much because of the shoulder discomfort, I might just practice getting really good at decline bench.
I enjoy the angle and leverage point with decline bench.

In his way he gave you a HUGE thumbs upWednesday October 9 2024
@domestic-supply.com
The amateur bodybuilder who I became friends with, he approached me today at the gym looked at me for a few seconds and goes, so what are you doing April 18th ?
He asked me moving forward if I would be open to competing with him at shows he enters and travel with him for shows split the cost of things and push each to be our best version, he is 28 I'm 36 both enhanced lifters, both going for a pro card eventually and both amateur at this stage in the game.
We will see first how my first one goes and if I like it and can contiune i will consider his hospitality and very kind offer of helping me and entering shows together in the future, it could be another thing that pushes me and him long term and I can help him as well.
He did make a joke that both of our legs sucked but we have damn good upper bodiesi agreed with him lol.
I said probably nothing why ? His reply good you and me are going and entering the fox cities classic bodybuilding show. I said no the hell i am not, I am not ready, he said good, you have till April to reach peak condition, I have your number, I immediately thought in my head, well I can't back out now, I guess that will be my first show.
Talk about back up against the wall and feet in the fire... that made me really damn scared and nervous, he said if I compete as a true novice I can compete twice that day in the same show.
Push day today went very well. I hit a new pr on decline bench 230lbs for 10 clean reps.
I also decided I'd switch it up and get back into training dips, first set was bodyweight the two working sets, I decided I need to push and force growth, I hung two thick heavy chains around my traps, I hit 2 sets of 10 very hard fucking reps, not sure the weight of the chains, it was fun.

imo dude I would do leg raises more instead of sit ups, more for core hanging @Noah WixxFriday Nov 1 2024
@domestic-supply.com
I finally attempted belt squats and they are absolutely brutal, i dropped down onto one knee after my sets and just looked up at the gym ceiling contemplating my decision
The feeling and movement is completely different than a tradional high bar squat, i actually prefer belt squats over squatting in the rack, belt is much harder and takes way more out of me. The majority of the tension is on the hips.
I utilize a strap and hold onto it and lean as far back as possible and utlixe a wider stance when i belt squat, the activation from belt squat is fantastic, i go down slow, pause and hold, then explode up through the movement.
I kept it simple this leg routine, i decided i needed more hamstring work, so i am adding in RDL movements, went lite so i can work on getting the movement down properly first.
I tried the wheel roller for the first time and did full extension of my body full strexh pause squeeeze and hold, these also are brutal but i enjoyed them alot, hard as hell though.

I finally attempted belt squats and they are absolutely brutal, i dropped down onto one knee after my sets and just looked up at the gym ceiling contemplating my decision

I saw you doing 30min cardio before no? @Noah WixxMonday November 11 2024
@domestic-supply.com
I saw my buddy at the gym today who is a competitor in bodybuilding, we got to talking about prep and upcoming shows, i told him i was 221 lbs currently, He gave me the biggest grin, and said brother this is how you look at 221 lbs, if you come in at 185-195lbs in men's physique you are going to destroy everyone and own the competition, made me very thankful my hard work is paying off and others are taking notice and think i have what it takes to win one day, as offen times dont see it or view myself in a positive light like he did.
I made some excellent strides and improvements on belt squat this week comparing last weeks training with what i did today.
Last week i hit 180lbs for 10 which was difficult, today i started with 180lbs for 15 reps, hit 190lbs for 12 reps and 195lbs for 10 reps, my belt squat and lower body strength has improved a fair amount, up a total of 15lbs on weight moved.
