I don't use it, I am not a fan.PJ, you're a test guy, but what's your take on NPP?
Whats your preferred dosage and should it be used in short blast cycles or is there not enough time for recovery?
Great seeing you.Kiss ass in Vegas!!! See you soon!
My other suggestions would be to eat BIG meals when not at work!PJ,
What practical and easy dieting advice can you give for me:
I work 8-5pm. Usually no lunch break.
Was trying the protein bar / meal replacement bar route but I never seem to eat enough of them. Can't really pack too much food with me but I think I can get away with protein shakes. Maybe a freezer bag / cooler packs and 3 pre-made protein shakes with milk. If I eat a descent breakfast and eat post-work how much do I really need to consume during my work hours?
Alternate meal, shake, meal shake, if mass or weight gain is the goal its pretty easy, get some maximize and some macadamia nut oil and mix it with your isolate and you can really boost the calories, you can def take 30 sec to pound the shakes and 5min to eat every 5-6 hours if your doing the shakes in between. It we want something bad enough we MAKE it happen. No excuses!
Any other suggestions?
Actually if you take a second to look at the comparison pics you will see size certainly isn't an issue at all, lol...I thought pasquale should have won the class. I thought Figoni should have been third he has an amazing upper body but very small legs., the winner should have been second and I could have been 4 or 5 with NO argument from anyone. Thats the sport though. Is what it is. 12 was a slap in the face especially since I was the first person called in the second callout. Kinda funny that I used to smoke Rob you ells, he is exactly the same, and I am bigger and better yet he is a top contender now. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmHey PJ,
Just looked over the top 16 HWs at the USAs. I thought you looked very good PJ (probably higher than 12th IMHO), but there's a clear difference in sheer muscle mass between you and say, Figoni or Pasquale. IMHO, Figoni should have been in the top 5 and if I'm judging I've got him pegged as the winner. He looked really ripped, lots of back muscle density and structure and fairly clean separation and density on his pecs and delts. IMO Aaron Clark is a surprise winner in HW. I don't think he looked better than Figoni at all. What do you think?
I started doing 1mg arimidex daily and to be honest have no clue what the number is now because I went back into contest prep and have no yet gotten any new blood work done. If you are doing real arimidex your numbers should be very low after 14 days of daily use.On IER you mentioned your bloodwork showing your estrogen in the 200s how much arimidex did you have to take and how low did you get it to? I'm having the same issue thanks
Great seeing you.

How old are you and how long have you been training?need help fixing my thighs. im 5'8 180lbs just under 8% bf. i just started fist cycle. im happy with my proportions every where except thighs. my upper thighs measure 25in. and my lower thighs measure only 17in! i have no noticable vastus medials devolpment. my vastus lateralis is highly devolped near the top and nearly nothing by the knee. how can i fix this? i dont have a hack squat machine at my gym.
To answer your question number 1- it matters a lot and 2- noAgreed...12th was too low for you. If you were in the second callout I would think they would already have you pegged for a potential top 5 or 5-10 at the very least...a bit strange. Sounds like the judging was entirely too subjective with a lot of personal selection bias thrown in the mix. I agree Clark should not have been the winner. I still like Figoni's look better then Pasquale though, his back and overall upper body is phenomenal, but he does look a little lean on quads, but "very small legs"...no. The separation on his legs looks pretty damn good.
Looking at the comparisons, I'd have to disagree with you PJ, there's a noticeable size difference in mass density in various areas between some competitors. My top 5: Figoni, Pasquale, Clark, Jaramillo, Blanchard.
Anyway, time to move...it is what it is, BUT it does cause one to wonder what criteria the judges are applying to their decisions and if inherent selection bias is a problem.
Ok, a couple questions PJ:
1) In your opinion, how much does posing and having an overall good routine and stage presence enter into the judges decision?
2) Should judges apply more objectivity by measuring muscle size in prejudging as one of the crtieria involved in the overall judging process?
Thanks PJ!
Thanks, i don't think it was a film you saw in pre, what happened was they took forever to do my il properly and I had no time to pump up so I was FLAT...as I posed I got a pump and filled out and looked tighter. i ws definitely tighter in the morning then at the night show. Anyway, it is what it is and its done.12th was fucked!! I had you in the top 6 after the night show- which is 50pc of the show-if I'm correct? How do you go from the second call out to honestly sharpening up from pre-judging, to all the way to 12th? You looked great at night. A little film in pre, but got better as you posed IMO! Looked outstanding
Hows your diet?im 29. ive been resistance training for 4years. weight training for 3yrs.
How old are you and how long have you been training?

Next time I compete I will be a super its just too damn hard for me to suck down to 225 and I can't carb up efficiently when trying to make that weight class.
diet is great. upperbody is developed very well, along with upper thighs. can post pics if it helps.Hows your diet?
It depends...some will tell you to stay on it, and some will say to stay off...opinions are mixed...if I knew a lot more about you as a client I would tell you exactly my opinion but since I don't i am going ti say that you should abandon the gh when you are totally off for best results in the long run.Hey pj, I was gonna run test e, deca,adrol( just first 3 weeks) and hgh for a 12 week cycle. The hgh I know I gotta do for awhile 6 months at least. Do I just continue the hgh through my pct and off cycle time? How does all that sound?
Depends on their ultimate goal as wells how I felt they were responding to everything else.THis is soothing that I think if your having a problem with you would best bet just sign up for a plan with me and let me work you through it.Mr. Pj, how are you? May I ask what would you do with someone who has hard time removing fat and getting lean, especially around 9% fat or so?
LOL, thank you I really appreciate that!!You're absolutely a super! I could see the game plan to make heavies,but I think with your thickness, having some reserve water to pull from a little when you crank down on the diet would be good. And also having the room -weight wise to carb up . Anyway, you looked good bro. I'm sure this next show will be a lot different .. Good luck and make sure Jeann doesn't do your tan haha![]()
yes please do!diet is great. upperbody is developed very well, along with upper thighs. can post pics if it helps.
Personally I think that the older you get the more important Test and gh therapy are, but I would need to know a lot more about you to answer this in full detail. It would def not be a bad idea to utilize the effect of GH at your age!!Great Body...a lot of years of pain to get those gains no? (Rhetorical Question)
I'm past fifty...do I need at this point..(to realize larger gains) to use hgh to compensate for natural losses at my age?
Thanks
BP
