So that’s phase 1 of prep wrapped up (week 19 through to 12 weeks out) – now things are starting to feel a little more real

The body has responded very well, not a huge drop of weight with the re introduction of anabolics after a long period ‘off’ or just on testosterone – now down to 215lb (for reference bodyweight was 185lb on stage 2021) so we are hoping for 8-10lb of tissue which would be very nice on my frame – but a long way to go until we are at that point so right now it’s just focussing on nailing condition and holding the fullness at every step of the way

I’ll drop my current set up below, but food hasn’t come down a great deal at all in the scheme of things – yet we have introduced fat burners, pushed cardio higher and used those as our two primary drivers for fat loss

For me I like it this way – I feel I can grow with this amount of food and re introduction of anabolics and this is exactly how I’ve ‘grown into prep before’ – it is person dependant and I wouldn’t do this with everyone but my body doesn’t flatten much at all with high cardio like most would

Overall very happy with the visuals now – still a long way to go but it’s the best I’ve ever been (heaviest and leanest) at this point out so improvements have been made – now it’s just a waiting game to find out by how much!
