The pics came out stellar man , really lookin tight.

Congrats on shaking off the IBD as well , that's gota feel real good mentally and physically.
Thank you Yano. Yep it has been such a stressful year and the IBD was really kicking my ass for so long, I was almost ready to give up. But finally things seem to be coming together so I just need to hope it continues and I can stay in good health for as long as possible. I’ll be ticking all of the boxes on my end to make sure to give myself the best chance.

Still feeling healthy and fit guys and have been off corticosteroids for almost a week now with seemingly no ill effects. Got some bloods booked in for next month to make sure everything is under control but as far as I can tell, everything seems to be stable. I have decided I will enter a competition next year if all goes well so I can go through the experience of prep and learn how to pose etc. I’m not getting any younger and I’ve toyed with the idea of doing it for a long time but never pulled the trigger, probably a lack of confidence but I aim to get it done as long as I don’t go back into a flare up. 😌

Hi guys. 😌

Doing pretty good still.

An old pal joined my gym so will be able to get the occasional session in which will be an interesting change, been flying solo for ages with training.

Gut has been mainly okay but a few jitters, I’m getting an X-ray and then they’re going to try me on another biologic drug called Ustekinunab to see if it’s more effective than the current stuff I’ve been using.

Been doing much more mobility work because my posture and flexibility sucked and already seeing some improvements.

And rediscovered my love for reading this last couple of months, ploughed through 20 books so far and finding it super relaxing. I’m getting old for sure.

I’ve been in a small deficit for a little bit now and focusing on tidying up so I can bring the midsection in nice and tight. Training is still Upper/Lower and I did a yoga session yesterday for the first time in ages - still wanting to improve my mobility and range. Cardio was 30 minutes steady state on the cross trainer, just changed it to 25 minutes cross trainer and 5 minutes assault bike to get some higher HR work in and will bump it up over time until it’s 15/15 on training days. 🫡

Things are still going well fellas. I’ve joined a yoga studio and started practicing daily because my mobility really sucked, feeling much better already and I find it calming. I’ve dropped lifting to 2 on/1 off rather than 3 on/1 off as the recovery demand was getting a little much. This seems to suit me better for now. Other than that, lots of reading and going to a star gazing event this evening to see what’s going on in the sky. Gut issues under control for the time being too - hopefully this continues until Christmas and beyond. 🫡

Merry Christmas and happy new year fellas. Long time no see. 😌 Things are still going well since my last update. My Crohn’s stayed under control, I’d say I’ve been like 90% back to my usual self. I’m changing my medication tomorrow so we can see if I can get back to 100% but things have been good and more than manageable. I’ve done 70 yoga sessions since I started in November so my mobility has improved endlessly and I’ve gone back to a PPL style split because U/L was getting a bit same-y. I’m also about a month in to a mini cycle of 200 mg Test per week and 40mg T’bol per day after I’d spent like ~8 months cruising. Fairly mild and seems gut-friendly which was the main thing for me to consider. Hope you chaps are all well and I’ll start to check in more regularly again now I’m back in a decent routine. Will dump some recent pics of physique and activities.

I started my new medication on Tuesday and all went well with the first dose. No sides. No after effects later that day or the following day. Had bloods pulled also and had the results back yesterday - only thing out of reference range was ALT and very marginally. That should lower as the previous meds I was on leave my system. 🙏 Hoping this new stuff gets me back to 100%!
From after today’s push session.
