200mcg CJC-no-DAC with the ipa is solid. Good pairing. Don't let the water freak you out early.

Bumped volume on the second 4-week block — push day went from 12 sets to 15, same across push/pull/legs. Recovery is handling it easily which is a clear change from before cycle.

Numbers are dialed in. Keep the diet boring and this is going to finish well.

300 bench PR on a lean recomp at this age and weight is impressive work.
