• No Alarm today, up at 0700!? I was a tired guy. 6hr 58 minutes of sleep! (Had trouble falling asleep)
Up 2 times to pee. So Cpap is helping, feel pretty good! I don't think it will take me too long to get used to the change. I am falling asleep fairly quickly.
Now back to the regularly scheduled program.

Mr. Ash was perfectly content sleeping away, normally he is up at our normal 0400 time, I let him out, he goes to the fridge for Rockstar. We go outside to do his show and he sniffs everything as we do the normal perimeter sweep. Water the chickens and plants, we got 10 buttnuggets this morning. I am gimpy this morning the legs definitely are sore..To the Creeper Cave! I hit the garage to get warmed and loosen up. Started off walking the treadmill for 10 min to a slow jog for an other 25 minutes. Most definitely need to stretch out as a bit of tightness is coming in the lower back. Think with the Cpap I am sleeping on my back more. Transitioning to the floor I took my time and stretching out every angle I can on my legs. Stretch out my back really well. Finished off with my old school standard stretches. Then as customary now on rest days I normally do some push up's and pull up's. So to start, on my bench I do my Creeper stretches. Letting weight hang in my hand rotating in a small circles. Let it pull on everything in the shoulder. Jumping up to 30 lbs. Switched out and do both sides. Doing 4 sets of this helps let the tension out of the shoulders.
* Then set up with yoga blocks and did 15 push up's. The spot in my shoulder did niggling. Nothing overdone. I hit 15 more. That was a bit less irritating.
* Pull up's – I did 10, then wanted to try where I was with a belt and 25lb plate.
I got 5 done. I could feel it straining a bit. So I think I will stop here not pushing my luck.

Feeling pretty good over all. Sleep is a wonderful thing. Hopefully this keeps going and I hit that deep sleep I need more often. Had a few things to catch up on today around the house but outdoor activities are limited right now to mornings The power went out for a while today. The heat was unbearable at 102, the house got fast in a hour. I can deal with cold pretty well then mid 90's. Hundo... nope I get overheated fast. So a fire took out a power transmission line. They got it under control pretty fast. This year has been crazy with fires.

Pecini and Soares walked out with clean victories, the amateurs looked like they want to go to the next level, and Vegas added another Bikini threat in Hampton. The July 11 double‑header tightened the qualification race and gave TEAM USP everything needed to dominate today’s feed.

(ALL USP GEAR) Gear on board, throw the robe on and Ash at my side following me to the Rockstar. We do our morning perimeter checks water some plants and the chickens we got 11 buttnuggets this morning! Gave Ash his avocado blanket and training videos. Turn on the sprinkler system head to the Creeper Cave. Flip on Evo this morning. Listeningto brother @MarkNV. Sounds like things with Mom got sorted out for you more than anything. Also never thought of a beef brine before. Jumped on the treadmill walking for 10 then bump it up to the jog hitting the target zone for 25 minutes. Start doing my yoga stretches getting everything loose and limber. So far feeling well now major stress issues. So started this off with my Creeper stretches slow circles with a 20 lb dumbbell on the bench at an angle to let the weight pull on the shoulders. This morning I will do third work load warm up's
* 192.4 this morning
*WORK SETS
• Dumbbell Bench Press 12–18 reps × 5 sets @ 80lbs cut to 50lbs up 10 lbs.
18 clean reps, locked‑in form, chest tight and squeezed disrespectfully. I focus from deep stretch the weight just hanging on the pecks. From the bottom acceleration increases out of the hole to the top. To a center convergence. Slowing down to imagine and feeling squeezing the chest as tight as you can before cramping. On set 3 dropped back to 14 then 13. Then 11. We are staying even. But a gain of 10 lbs!
• Incline Dumbbell Flyes — 15°
10–15 reps × 4 sets 15lbs. Full stretch, slow squeeze. 15 reps on set 1. On set 2 did 13, then 12 on the rest of the sets. Staying level we are still even from last go around. I focused on keeping tempo in time. Then on the decent slow and controlled pause at maximum stretch. Feeling it pull on the chest open up really getting deep on the arms with a small bend at the elbows. I try and exhale slowly coming down letting gravity pull it open.
• Triceps Rope Pushdowns — 60 lbs.
10–15 reps × 4 sets
This is my working load for now. We will work up. Focused, feeling the contractions from top to bottom, keeping the pace. To keep time under tension. On the contraction movement I push with a slower movement, then slow accent back. On a 4 count on both movements. Set 3 hit 14, then 13. We are even.
• Cable Lateral Raises
12–18 reps × 5 sets, 5 reps done instead.
Cross‑cable setup we are at 15lbs. Controlled in tempo. Adjusting stance to hit all the fibers in the shoulders by being forward, neutral and behind. Definitely some pain in front and neutral. But manageable. Did Creeper stretches after this, to avoid cramps.
• Seated Overhead Dumbbell Press (Arnold Press)
8–12 reps × 5 sets
Bench nearly vertical, 20 lbs up from 12 and all sets at 12 reps, nothing seems to be hitching in the movement. Can probably go up again. I felt no pain.
* I did some more Creeper stretches. Even with the weight hanging off the shoulder it was helpful as I could feel it help loosen it up more.
* Extra sets Pull-Ups & Push-ups
Starting of with 15 push up's on the foam blocks. Jumping straight into pull up's got 15, back to the floor for 15 push up's. Straight back to the pull up bar for 12 at a stall. Minor discomfort was felt...
* Then more Creeper stretches. We will work this out at all means necessary. As the final edge. I pin 10mg of klow in the shoulder for acceleration of healing. I have to say it is working incredibly well. It burns like a MF for a minute. But it seems to knock down inflammation and pain quickly. At this time its 3 x a week.
• DAILY FUEL BREAKDOWN
- Calories: 3,400—3,750
- Protein: 340g
- Carbs: ~460–480g
- Fat: ~85–100g
- Sodium: ~3,800–4,800mg
- Meals: 6 total
- I blender up 4 cups of cooked rice with water till very smooth
* Notes of the Day
With a day time high of 104, I was tired, not getting the beast sleep, and getting super sweaty. It just drains you fast. I got dinner in and my shake and crashed out. I was trying to finish this log and fell asleep doing so. Having to write this in the am. Going to be another ripping out day, stay safe stay strong. Stay with USP!!!!

• Major Physique Updates & Contest Prep
Nick Walker — Tampa Pro Warpath
Nick Walker’s Tampa Pro prep is dominating YouTube and IG. His latest back double‑bicep update is blowing up across Nick’s Strength & Power and Milos Sarcev’s Menace Podcast, with analysts debating whether this “pre‑Olympia test run” sharpens him or risks burnout.
“Walker’s latest back double-bicep updates looks bonkers.”
He remains the most-watched non-qualified Open athlete heading into the summer qualifiers.
Jordan Hutchinson — Portugal Fallout
Hutchinson’s razor-thin one‑point win over James Hollingshead at the 2026 Mr. Big Evolution Pro is still the hottest competitive storyline.
“Following a razor-thin, one-point victory over a resurgent James Hollingshead…”
His Olympia qualification is now official, and social platforms are hammering his insane back density and improved thickness. His hype really doesn't have me believing that he will Crack top 10.
Alcione Barreto — Women’s Bodybuilding Dominance
Barreto successfully defended her title at the Mr. Big Evolution Pro, earning her Olympia qualification and widespread praise across IG and YouTube.
“Barreto's successful title defense… continues to garner high praise.”
• Social Media & Community News
Connor Murphy — Passing
The fitness world is questioning the sudden death of influencer Connor Murphy, who reportedly drowned.
His massive reach (2.7M followers) has sparked widespread discussion about the extremes of the looksmaxxing subculture. Reports say he was do injections of gold. Gold its self is not toxic. But cheap knock offs can be mixed with toxic metals. He was displaying odd behavior. In my opinion he was showing that he was effected by heavy metal poisoning.
Pumping Iron — 50th Anniversary Hype
Arnold Sports Festival’s IG and Facebook reels celebrating 50 years of Pumping Iron have gone viral, assembling legends to promote the 2027 Arnold Classic.
“Nostalgic reels assembling the greatest bodybuilders of all time…”

“Official promotional channels confirmed that 7x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath will be a special guest…”
2026 Mr. Olympia — Men’s Open Qualified Athlete List
Qualified Athletes:

Not yet qualified but heavily favored:
Nick Walker.
TEAM USP (Creeper’s Thoughts)
Nick Walker’s Tampa Pro momentum is the biggest storyline heading into the final qualification window. And the last of the top 5 guys to make his qualification. (Yes I expect him to win Tampa) Hutchinson’s Portugal win adds a new guy to the Olympia lineup, while Barreto’s dominance keeps Women’s Bodybuilding tight at the top. With Phil Heath stepping into the Gold’s Gym Classic and Pumping Iron’s 50-year celebration exploding online, the sport is in full historic + competitive overdrive.

TEAM USP (Creeper’s Thoughts)Nick Walker’s Tampa Pro momentum is the biggest storyline heading into the final qualification window. And the last of the top 5 guys to make his qualification. (Yes I expect him to win Tampa) Hutchinson’s Portugal win adds a new guy to the Olympia lineup, while Barreto’s dominance keeps Women’s Bodybuilding tight at the top. With Phil Heath stepping into the Gold’s Gym Classic and Pumping Iron’s 50-year celebration exploding online, the sport is in full historic + competitive overdrive.
TEAM USP STAYS ON TOP OF IT! USP HOT PRODUCTS! LOOK FOR YOURSELF! @Amanda Creeper
