Re: Gusto's Journal

I was sitting at a pretty beastly 230. Was having some BP issues though so I decided to call it quits in terms of competing. Right now I'm sitting at about 205 just trying to stay healthy and strong. Only running TRT

I see I see funny my Bp has always been high at first but sit a few minutes and It's fine. During show prep it was optimal every time I checked it, it was weird

Re: Gusto's Journal

Been away from the log for a bit but have def still been in the gym. My diet about the last week and a half has absolutely been nonexistent as I've just been relaxing and enjoying Christmas with the kids and friends and family. First day back in the gym after about three days today. Was just supposed to do shoulders and triceps but did a chest shoulder and arm workout because I was feeling froggy and just enjoyed being back in the gym. Diet was a bit better today and will be fully back on track mon or tues. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Re: Gusto's Journal

One of the best leg workouts I've had in a very long time. Pretty strong and no hip pain.... Mobility still sucks but as long as the pain is held at bay I'm happy. The PT basically told me my mobility would never improve greatly. Although 365 five times isn't super impressive that's heavier than I've got in a long while.
