Approved Log My journey to a better life

What a morning
School photo day so teenage daughter running around in crisis mode like the world is falling apart all cause her hair isnt hairing or something

7yr woke up looking like she had slept in the jungle with mogley and rest of the jungle book with an attitude like her mum when she hasn't eaten or drank water all day..

But on a good note its getting closer to 1st june and the new diet and new cycle so that is exciting..

School run and fight the traffic 😤 to get in to the gym 8:30 seems to be a good cross over where tradies and office workers have left and its just soccer mummies and 14 to 16yr sarm goblins

Airbags can rattle you hard. The black eye will heal, it could've been worse.
For sure , he is the type of guy who takes longer choosing his gym outfit than a girl getting ready for a date

So sadly think I am prob not gonna see him in gym for few weeks ha ha

That’s some crazy coincidence... literally right there on your route.
 
OK guys it is Friday the 30th so last injection before 1st June comp starts, so started my day with 50mg of Test E from @gearmaniac101 a perfect painless delt injection. the Boss had later start at work today but wanted some help with the kiddies so stuck around and did the breakfast routine and then she did the school run for me.

made myself a max's shred system using Oat milk to trail a bit of my new meal plan for the comp oh my gosh this is so thick compared to having it with water could almost eat it with a spoon.

got gym around 8am and had a great workout in my own zone

this will be the last update here for 17weeks as i will be updating my comp log instead during this time. If you enjoy my journey and random stories, come across to my comp log and keep up to date with everything which is going on.

 
Let the next part of this journey begin!

with the comp finishing and wanting to be sure I didn't go backward or float without purpose I had to act fast and set some goals to stay focus and on track so after chatting with a lot of forum members, I now have I guess what you would call some form of formal guidance / coaching from @AshMunn Mens Physique -


So, I have taken this week off a strict meal plan still eating well and carefully but not logging my food, still weighing my meals but bit more relaxed with how and what i feel like eating. Gym this week has been bit lighter and just to keep habit of turning up guess a "De-load?" week

Monday, we start working towards my next goal I have set and will be a big push but am confident with this guidance I am not going to fail.

Bit of food corn for you boys

And new shirt cause why not

Deload week’s smart 👌 keep the body fresh. Keen to see what Ash has you running. No doubt you’ll level up quick.
PED wise am giving my body a little rest and getting my bloodwork back to a TRT acceptable range for my clinic bloods in December.

So as of Monday, will be dropping back down to 3 x 50mg Test C injections per week and just cruising along.

New Calories and macros will be as follows:
Training days - 3160 Cal - P 298g, C360g F 56g
Rest days - 2916cal - P 281g, C 303g, F 79g

Will be doing 3 days training 1 day rest 2 days training 1 day rest.

working though a workout plan with @AshMunn Mens Physique with the goal to put on muscle mass and size while not increasing my BF% too much.
 
So was Saturday second leg workout for the week i try do heavier sets with less volume and Wednesday do lighter weights higher volumes

Gym was super quiet this morning
Leg press anyone??

So been a little flat out this week with school back, some work things on and also starting new meal plan and training schedule with Ash.

it is all very exciting times and looking forward to the new few months.

Monday - we hit shoulders with some arms - new movement Zottman curls were added, these gave a crazy forearm pump!
Tuesday - Back and Tris
Wednesday - Legs - with some deadlifts - new PB of 180kg x 2 reps (this was due to my math skill not remembering to add a bar weight )

today we rest.

Getting your bloods back in range, smart (y). Macros also look dialled for lean growth. Onwards and upwards from here.
 
so back in to the swing of things missed adding few blogs last week as was flat out and trying to get in the routine of new workout and diet plans and adding all this in to the coaching program - plus schools back and yeah life just got hectic.

Any way Monday is stabbing day with all things going back down to TRT - 50mg of Test E supplied by @gearmaniac101 and just to keep a bit of fun as love the mood boost it give 600mg of L Carnitine

My delicious Cream of rice pre workout and we off to the gym
