Sounds like you've got it squared away bro this is good. Listening to your body and knowing you're low on iron too is pretty rare to see someone that in tune, good stuff!I take telmisartan so potassium stay pretty level. I have bloods at the end of the month. I have had trouble keeping Iron levels up. Been taking iron eod at night. Went from 8 to 28 on that. I could tell it was low. Makes you a space case. I also use light salt. Thats has potassium in it.
Today is the last day for this too! Load up!!Definitely take action and stock up!![]()
Looking forward to hearing this when it drops bro!Had the EVO podcasts. Looking forward to that coming out.
I definitely know when anything is off, being careful is never a bad thing. And getting blood work done often is the key to make all the corrections needed.Sounds like you've got it squared away bro this is good. Listening to your body and knowing you're low on iron too is pretty rare to see someone that in tune, good stuff!
I definitely blew my budget. But I will have what I need before I need it! And saved a lot too!Today is the last day for this too! Load up!!
Looking forward to hearing this when it drops bro!
I am going through a lot of the other shows now. This is a great place to add to the knowledge. And find help and brothers!


Same. My stash is growing due to USP's amazing sales!I definitely blew my budget. But I will have what I need before I need it! And saved a lot too!![]()




Great description, and thank you for sharing the saleTEAM USP ā DAY 3: Legs, Calves & Abs
Lower body work, deload work.
⢠183.5 Lbs This morning, would really like to get this moving up.
⢠Rolling a bit slower than normal up at 4 am was feeling average today to great not bad nothing seems to be bothering. Turned on some older heavy rock, my rockstar with me on the treadmill for 45 minutes. Started off with a good walk till the rockstar was finished. Then got the heart rate up to the 125-135 range. After that, was feeling a bit better than average.
My beautiful wife is being a trooper and wanting to get back in the gym with me. Maybe tomorrow we can get her walking on the mill. It would probably help out with recovery with good blood flow and an extra kick of gh and Klow she should be recovering faster than normal anyway. We will see how she is feeling in a while.
⢠Leg Press
4 plates or 180lbs, stance narrow today. I am using a scrap chunk of foam to hold in my knees still. Its is a 4"x4" block. I am determined to straighten my leg movements before I go heavy on this.
Paused reps. Smooth and controlled.
4Ć12, quads still want more load I'm still fighting with the foam. In all, it is evident that I am going a bit deeper than I could do before. Being patient and letting the body adapt is hard. But its mental and you do have control. It will be you against you. And just backing off before doing something dumb will save you more time in the end.
⢠Cable Crunches
We are still at 100 lbs, like last time. Spine arched, hips pulling through.
Controlled and systemic.
And doing 6 sets . I ran this up to 20 reps. Like last time. And the time beforehand. This is definitely giving my rib a time out and not feeling it at all as of late.
⢠Romanian Deadlifts
100lbs, back loosened, belt tight. Hamstrings takes the load fine.
10 on the opener. Staying with last weeks reps set, to 9 for 5 sets. Still feeling pretty good.
⢠Calf Raises
110 lbs on a 2āinch platform, heels hanging deep.
Stretch, squeeze, repeat. 5 sets done. Didn't do anything different from last time we were here. But its not always about doing something new.
⢠Hanging Leg Raises
Weighted sets with 5 lbs on the feet.
Strict, no sway. 10 reps with a rest of 60 seconds between sets.
Abs good and hot, job done.
⢠Smith Machine Squats
180 lbs, narow stance, tempo locked.
8, 10, matched again for sets 3 & 4. Nice and smooth. Form is natrual in this. The foam isn't really needed doing this in neutral or narrow.
⢠Hack squat started this off light as the finish touch 140 on, 3 sets neutral stance, toes pushed down 12, 10, 10. quads good and hot, trying to hold the block was a mental change. It is definitely becoming easier to hold.

-Fats:~75g
- Sodium ~ 3,250 ā3,950
- Carbs: ~380ā420 Moderateāhigh (ideal for recovery)
- Fats: Controlled, mostly from eggs + almond butter
⢠Notes of the Day
Feeling pretty good over all I have been down on ped's since the deload started. It hasn't really effected me in how I feel or mood. I do as my wife she didn't have any feedback on changes. On the subject of my beautiful wife. She didn't feel like walking on the mill today. Maybe tomorrow. The swelling in one spot isn't going down as quickly as hoped. And no need to push it and risk injury any.

#1 SAMPSON DAUDA vs. LARRY WHEELS: THE SIDEāBYāSIDE THAT TOOK OVER THE FEEDS
A new comparison circulating across bodybuilding media shows Sampson Dauda and Larry Wheels in a direct physique matchup and the contrast is fueling todayās conversation. My opinion Larry would have a long way to hit the level of a good bodybuilding shape. I don't know if he has even had to do a hard cut.
⢠Sampson: deeper quad sweeps, rounder delts, cleaner taper, fuller midāprep silhouette.
⢠Larry: freak triceps density, powerlifter chest thickness, trademark hardness.
Across platforms, the narrative is forming
āSymmetry vs. Strength and Sampson looks dangerously Olympiaāready.ā

CREEPERāS THOUGHTS (TEAM USP)
Sampsonās silhouette is looking more dangerous and cut by the week and if he keeps trending upward, the Olympia conversation shifts fast. Andrew better keep on top of his game.
European Championships will set the earlyāseason tone, but Prague showed exactly where the next wave of talent is coming from.
Both Amateur and SemiāPro divisions delivered depth, density, and real proācardālevel physiques.
Momentum is building
