Enigma's Final 50's log.

[Enigma]

Figure I'll contribute a log. This one is for ultimately the Masters Nationals or the North American. But the beginning here is a 14 week windup for an NPC show in the USA. I thought my contest in Mexico was adequate to qualify me for the North American but "last year" is now 2019...so I need to do a show prior to the Nationals.

I say Final 50's because this is it for this decade. At 56, competing against guys even 6 years younger is tough. After this season I will get some surgeries I need to repair and go on and if I can keep it together for another few years, I might come back and compete in my 60's.


Yesterday I started at the gym again after a 30 day lay off in hopes my joints could rest and heal. Based on yesterday's workout, it didn't happen. The show goes on...

Stats:
5'8" 213 lbs, unknown body fat but I would guess in the 14-15% range. I usually don't get this fat but I did a bulk the last few months and ate 50% more carbs than usual and 25% more protein and fats.
I competed in 2018 at 191 lbs and was slightly less muscular than I am now. Additionally, I didn't train legs during these last months due to ongoing ortho issues. I will resume training legs during this prep. My legs respond very quickly so I will be fine if my joints hold up.

Diet:
5/1 rotation of low carb and no carb days.
5 Days of:
Breakfast: 10 eggs whites and 40 grams of oats. Fired in Mac nut oil with a handful of spinach.
Mid meal: Shake of 50g whey isolate, 1 1/2 T peanut butter, spoon fun of fiber and raw cacao.
Lunch: 160g of chicken breast, 120g of Kirkland brown rice quinoa RTE (30g net carbs)
Post work out: Shake, same as before
Dinner: Same as lunch
Before bed: 10 egg whites fried in Mac nut oil

Then 1 day of:
Breakfast: 5 whole eggs and 5 whites cooked in Mac nut oil
Mid meal: Same shake as always
Lunch: 160g of chicken and 40 grams of raw almonds
Post work out: Shake
Dinner: Same as lunch
Before bed: 5 whole eggs and 5 egg whites cooked in Mac nut oil.

Once a week I will eat one "cheat meal" of whatever I want.

Then begin rotation again. This rotation adjusts according to progress and proximity to show.

Supplements:
Costco organic multivitamin
Species Omegalyze EFAs/Omegas
Species Arthrolyze
Species Lipolyze
81mg aspirin
red yeast rice
CoQ-10
Grapeseed/resversatrol
B complex
C (4grams/day)
Biotin
Magnesium
Calcium
D3
5% Organ and liver defender
NOW Cholesterol pro
Creatine
ZMA for sleep

Workout:
I won't bore you with my daily routines. I won't be doing any cross tension band kettle bell cross overhead burpees or any of those complicated routines you youngsters seem to favor. I will just be doing what has worked for me forever and will add a few isolation exercises as I get closer to the show.
For example was International Chest day. I did:
4 sets of some chest press machine to 10 reps or close. Unknown weight.
4 sets of Hammer Strength iso incline with 2-45s and a 25.
4 sets of dumbbell flyes
4 sets of the old Bodymaster seated extension machine. (I tried to read the actual nameplate but I can't see in the gym without my glasses.)
4 sets of tricep cable press downs.

I change my shit up week to week to hopefully keep the muscles guessing.

My rotation is:Chest/tris, Back/forearms, legs, shoulders, bi's and tri's. I work out 5x week and try to put a few days between push pull movements.

I am currently doing 30 minutes recumbent bike at 120bpm. This will go up to an hour in two weeks.

Drugs:
350 Sust350 and 200 Deca E3D. 2iu of HGH per day, pinned in the morning (so far).
At the 8 week mark I will go to 250 test E, 50 Tren a, 100 Mast prop EOD.
I will be adding in some T3 or T4 and clen soon but I like to ease my body into things by not shotgunning the drugs all at once.
I won't be doing any front loading, back loading, side stepping, shelving or any of these other things I still can't wrap my head around.

Guys who have been following along with me know I am all about diet and training with a small emphasis on gear. I prefer lower range dosing, now am a proponent of no prophylactic use of AIs or caber.

It is pretty hard playing at the game in your 50's. I am just glad I get to do it still.

Toss some Cialis in there man
i love cialis lol

[Enigma]

I use about 16mgs every 3 days or so prophylactically for BP. No issues. Don’t want them. Have you tried Yohimbine? I made a couple gallons of it and would be great if I could use instead of the thyroid or Clen.

[Enigma]

I added 20mcg of Clenbuterol yesterday. Will go up to 40 next week if tolerated well.
I am sore as hell and also am reminded of how awesome it is for my wife to do my injections and what a PITA it is to self inject. I’ve got no less than 8 more before she gets back from holiday. Ugh!

Fuck! I thought you were dead. I was looking into your Chevy dealership that might have a corvette that has already been ordered with down payment that was available because of an unfortunate roid/coke/threesome tragedy.

[Enigma]

I am working on a special blend for you. Test, Tren, Cialis, coke, penicillin and whatever HIV drug I can get a hold of.

Holy shit coach, settle the fuck down. Your outta control lmfao

[Enigma]

Had some treatments yesterday which I posted in another thread. I may blow off the NPC show in April to allow for further treatment and shoot for the NABBA show (which I also posted about) which should qualify me for the NPC North American.

[Enigma]

Ok, reset dates. No shows until July. Quick Cali qualifier then the North American. This gives me plenty of time to sort some muscle issues and then hit a bulk to prep straight through.

Fuck it! Back to eating! I started Anadrol today...or as the Mexicans call it, “Oxy”. Guess they don’t have a pill mill problem like the USA?
I’m gonna do 25mg first week and then go to 50mg until the bottle is gone. About four weeks. I figure why not? If I’m actively getting therapy, I can train insane.
My diet will be “on point”. The point being as sharp as my wife’s co-pilot. (Dildo). In all seriousness, I am just increasing protein a bit and carbs mucho.
I haven’t used “oxy” (Lol) in about 14 years and I used to gain a pound a day for the first two weeks. I’m sure it’s going to make my heart happy. I live on the 3rd floor and those stairs are a bitch with a dozen or so extra pounds.

No Semtex. My shit ain’t just fire...it’s the bomb. And I corrected post to reflect a pound a day for the first two weeks.
I’m using a special brand of anadrol. The bottle says 50mg/ml but it’s rally 25mg. It’s ok, I got it on sale for 2x1. Lol...

[Enigma]

Dude, I doubt there are many straight guys that have been tested more than me. Maybe porn stars...

Sounds like there's a few good stories here!

[Enigma]

Weight: 216 lbs
BP: 114/75
Glucose: 95

2iu HGH
30 iu Lantus (starting today)
25mg Anadrol
16mg Cialis E3D
Sust 350 (still E3D)
Going to only 200mg Deca per week.

I will tally my macros and post later.

[Enigma]

For those of you who follow me on IG and care about anonymity, be sure your pic doesn’t rhyme with anything you post here. Internet sleuthing is pretty damn easy. Wouldn’t want your giving me love to get you outed.

[SloppyJ]

Enigma... doing it for the gram! :)

I know nothing about slin but are you doing 30iu per day? Only thing I know is my gym partner takes 10iu at one point in the day and then 4iu preworkout. I think it's novalog though.

[Enigma]

30iu is spread out over 24-36 hours with Lantus. Like a slow insulin drip. Think “long ester”. All this will do is make my fasting glucose at or around 80. Lets see in the morning. I do this only because the increased calories are way more than my body can keep up with, from my experience.

Max is the expert on this. Maybe he’ll chime in?

[Enigma]

Here you go. I’m sure I’m forgetting something.

[SloppyJ]

Just trying to get educated on insulin. I was under the impression it was for shuttling nutrients at critical times. What's the benefit of the longer acting slin if you're not diabetic?

[Enigma]

Taking stress off the beta cells which are being forced to work harder due to increased calorie intake. I’m no expert on it by any means. I get all my info off the internets.

[Enigma]

Btw, fuck you and your avatar. I was going to eat ground beef and rice tonight. Now I think I’m stopping by the panaderia and having sloppy joes tonight. I haven’t had one in 20 years I bet.

I haven't had one in a while. My wife "hates" them so I made them homemade one night with all sorts of fancy ingredients (for a sloppy joe). That didn't work either. Now I only eat them when she's out of town.

Damn, fuck my avatar, now I want a sloppy joe too... with cheese.

[Enigma]

Not like I can go buy a can a Mandwich. I tossed something together and it was close. Especially for a first try. The best part is you go to the bakery and buy just two fresh buns. No preservative or chemicals.
I ate two which was about 500g of beef raw. Skipped my evening shake. Total gut bomb.

Today’s glucose was 92 so I went up to 40iu of Lantus.

I got hungry after talking about that last night and went and made a PB&J. I love bulking.

[Mattymoo]

Im enjoying peanut butter and banana on bread

Following along brother

[Enigma]

Glucose was 74 this morning. Switched back to 30iu of Lantus. Just a little help is all I want. Had a second dry needling treatment after a wicked shoulder workout.
I was at the gym and while watching folks. I realize why I have some of the best, if not the best shoulders at the gym. I do a shoulders only day. Trying to incorporate such a complex muscle group into a day where you are working other muscles really short changes your development. Shoulders along with arms being the most showy muscles, are crucial to a balanced and impressive physique.

Hence the importance of a BG meter. [emoji108]
Btw- {I agree about shoulders if you really wanna hit each head although, I split rear delts from medial and front just because of my split}
I would love to go back to one muscle group a day but, I cannot at this time.

Max

[Enigma]

Rear delts are a tough call. Back workouts hit rear delts whether you like it or not the same way you hit the biceps on back day. This is why I try to skip a day or two between back and shoulders or back and bi’s. For those who have not made the “mind/muscle connection”, the spill over in workouts is inevitable.
It’s also the very reason that there are days between chest and shoulders (or tri’s). Impossible to train chest without stressing front delts and triceps.
This seems so obvious to me but when taking on new clients I learn that little thought is usually given to this.
If you are just looking to get fit, doing push/pull routines suffice. But if you are trying to shape and build specifically, one must consider this spillover.

[Enigma]

Glucose was 87. My opinion in anything less than 90 is good.

[Enigma]

Monday update:

221lbs (100 kilos)
BP 130/81 (there’s the Anadrol kicking in)
Glucose was 90 with no Lantus yesterday. Cheating food day so I skipped insulin.
Saturday and Sunday were training days off.

Jumping to 50mg Anadrol today.
2iu HGH
30iu Lantus
Sust350 E3D

Diet is still exactly like the Cronometer page I posted before.

[Enigma]

I probably won’t post a ton of pics until prepping but here’s how my bulk is looking less than two weeks in.
Taken today at Carbon Monoxide Gym.
