+2min jog. Not impressive in the slightest.

We added 10mg tren ace daily 2 days ago for more workout aggression. It was the right call.
Will pull it if it starts fucking with my sleep too much.

I don’t feel confident in my rear lat spread, most muscular, or abs+quads.

I’ve got a few guys here who want to help, as well as a few on other sites. Posting these in multiple places to farm all the help i can get.

Also, i pinned lats for the first time today.
Not bad. Will revisit tomorrow with another 2ccs.

 

[eazy]

pinned lats

where?

 

[Andrewgen_Receptors]

where?

pinned 1cc oil + 1cc l-car
bent over, laid arm of the side to be pinned on the counter, took other arm underneath it and pinned with a 27ga 1/2"

Its a little uncomfortable at the moment, but what can I expect when pinning 2ccs in a virgin muscle?

I tried pushing through, but the migraine won today. Couldn't finish shrugs and wasn't going to attempt laying down for ham curls. Probably calling it an early day at work as well.

Note sure how I missed this. There’s a lot to read up there so I gotta admit that I didn’t lol. Questions…. Height and current body weight and bf%? What weight class are you aiming for? I’m assuming open BB due to the posing? First time? I did scan through and saw that you weren’t confident with some things. Don’t sweat it. 99.9% of people aren’t going to walk out there and win their first show anyways, go through the process, try to have fun, and get a little stage time under your belt. Honestly if you don’t enjoy it the day of the show it’s just not worth it. I always just did what my coach wanted so I’m not gonna be the best source of info, but maybe if you give everybody a little more info you’ll get a little more feedback.

Okay so we're pushing the show back to Dec 6th and taking a few weeks to try working calories back up in the meantime.
This will be a long shot no matter what, but I'm gonna give it my all.

 

[Andrewgen_Receptors]

We're going to push for the show in 7 weeks.
If out turns out we cant make that happen, we'll push it back when we get closer.

No reverse diet.
Plan is set.

It's go time.

Posing as in you have a posing coach? I can’t overstate how important that is. First time I got on stage I’d say I looked better than the guys on stage with me, I took 5th. My posing sucked. My prep coach spent one day, about an hour total, on posing with me. If you don’t have a coach specifically for posing, and your guy isn’t spending a considerable amount of time on posing with you, find a posing coach. It makes a huge difference.

My coach is helping me with posing and will likely do video conference to help as we get closer.

Just posing as in, doing more than a 5 min run through in the morning

I pinned traps for the first time yesterday. Pretty rough PIP on the right side (expected for a virgin muscle at 2.5cc volume). Tried it again today for left side today, more PIP.

Meal prep day today. We're taking out potatoes to help with my digestion (its been slow) and dropping carbs a bit across the board.

No macros, just assigned meal plan. Chicken breast, lean fish, lean beef, rice, greens.

Scale is steady in the 193's and mirror is looking great. Idk if we're going to make stage in 6 weeks, but we're cooking

Bumped fat burners a bit. 37.5 T3 and 60 clen.
