Big Reds Off-Season Log
G’day lads
Some of you might know I ran a log through my last powerlifting comp prep. I’m planning to compete again later this year, but until then, I’m jumping into an off-season log. Stoked to be back on the Core Pharma team for 2026, let’s make it a big one.
Main Goals This Off-Season
• Stay as consistent as possible with training, recovery, nutrition, and lifestyle
• Put on some lean mass and progress on squat bench deadlift giving me a good base to take off for prep
• Optimise overall health especially sleep, gut health and cardiovascular fitness
.• Most importantly: Get my lower back 100% healthy and bulletproof. Late last year I was tracking really well for a comp, but a persistent lower back issue forced me to pull out of deadlifts.
Current Stats
• Age: 25
• Height: 181 cm
• Bodyweight: 100kg
• Goal Bodyweight: Would like to max out the 110 class for comp so end off off season goal ideally mid 100s so have some room to push in prep.
Best Lifts (to date)
• Squat: 270 kg
• Bench: 155 kg
• Deadlift: 300 kg
Current Compounds
• Testosterone Enanthate: 175 mg per week
• Labs: Core Pharma
Supporting Supps / Peptides
• Glow Pack (BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu)
• Driven Nutrition Axis ( DihydroBerberine, Nac, Tudca and Nattokinese)
• Driven Nutrition Kaizen Blend
(L-carn, Choline and dada)
• Cialis: 5 mg EOD
• Transparent Labs Health Juice
• Creatine: 10 g per day
• Fish oil
• Magnesium Glycinate
• Coq10
• WPI
• Driven Nutrition Intra Workout Formula
I’m keen to experiment with a few other compounds/peptides during this off-season to see what I like Eg: SLU-PP-332, MOTS-C plus few others I have in mind. Open to any suggestions.
Nutrition
Work in the mines so majority of my meals are ate In the mess hall but still eat a pretty good whole food diet. Days vary slightly but most days similar to:
Breakfast - Omlette or egg, bacon sausage + weet bix with honey
Lunch - Pre packaged meal usually chicken or beef with potato’s or rice + Yoghurt berries muesli
Dinner - Steak with usually potato’s and a curry or pasta of sorts.
Sneak in a couple extra small meals inbetween, there is a solid range of foo which helps on getting more in eg potato’s salads or can make up sandwiches.
Training Split
Currently doing 5 x per week, 2 x lower 3 x upper.
Will receive new program tomorrow and will be tracking every session here
Mon - Squats/ legs
Tue - Cardio / mobility
Wednesday - Upper
Thursday - Deadlifts / Legs
Friday - Cardio/ Mobility
Saturday - Bench / upper
Sunday - Upper
After the last comp not exactly going to plan my fie for the next one is greater than ever. Keen for a driven and determined year and ready to put up some big numbers when the time comes. Stoked to be back here with all the support of you legends!
Goals for next comp are
Squat - 300kg
Bench - 170kg
Deadlift - 300kg
