And the first leg of the Off Season has concluded.

Last week, Joe and I made the decision to rip things back on account of the accumulation of fatigue vectors and dwindling biofeedback.

On the left, I’m sitting at roughly 80.0kg - meaning we managed to slap on 28.0kg across the last 6-8 months (therefore 108.0kg on the right - Fasted Weight).

It has been far from the smooth run I was expecting in the last 6 or so months - with the passing of my father, an abrupt change to living arrangements and countless other stressors.

This did result in a faster accretion of Body Fat that I’d have liked, but all in all I’m pleased to have run the course amidst it all.

Back into cruise control before the next leg.

Arm Specificity seems to have sufficed - next up, the Pecs.

Happy to answer any of the “burning” questions via private message.

Much love.

How well do you receive criticism?

And when is the last time you asked for Feedback?

This is another concept which separates the good from the great.

And how criticism is received so say a lot about one’s character and potential.

Would you do a Competition Preparation alongside your partner?

Some say it would be easier, while others would want to rip their significant other’s head off.

A snippet from Episode 124 with - where we broke down the DHT Shortage and covered a little regarding the rising popularity of Boldenone to fill the void.

And of course, why this wasn’t a justifiable option for either of us.

Boldenone is almost exclusively a Veterinary Drug, and has no Human-Based Application. Of course, there are other compounds utilised which fall under the same category, but very few find themselves a mainstay for extended periods of exposure in Bodybuilders.

This raises many question marks around the use/ safety of the Compound, and typically excludes it from “Safe Use” Models.

As usual, context is everything. But this - in conjunction with other factors (explained in the Podcast) is enough for us to personally completely avert.

A oldie but a goodie from our YouTube Channel.

At 5500kcal and 120.0kg+ deep in the Off Season, Jude probably regrets saying this now.

Fun fact: I was 1000g of Carbohydrates deep here, near the end of my first day of loading and had convinced myself I wasn’t in shape. I remember a friend telling me my mid section had blown out, and at that point accepted that a place in True Novice would have sufficed as a win for the season. Now, 108.0kg deep in the Off Season, I realise how lean I was (and how much I hate being heavy).

The leanest Alex we’ve seen.

Many months of relentless repetition for a man who has completely changed his trajectory.

I can’t take any credit for the full transformation, because it is *absurd* (be sure to check out his socials).

But to think he’s where he is today, really embodies that absolutely anything is possible if you want it enough.

And if you’re finding excuses or consider yourself an outlier, well try and tell him that.

12.0kg differential, plenty of tissue and lots of fat reduced.

Oh, and plenty of Guzman Burrito Bowls in the midst of it all.

Pleased to be able to continue doing what we do together brother.

Much love ❤️

Just another Reta Reel for the Gram.

I am by no means a Reta-Hater.

But here’s my perspective.

There’s always going to be some kind of trade off, and if something sounds too good to be true it probably is.

No one talks about the what ifs.

No one talks about the detriments which come with it.

Am I saying that GLP-1 Agonists such a Retatrutide can’t be incredibly beneficial?

Absolutely not.

But it’s important we take a step back and look at the whole picture.
