Unexpected trip to Mexico, need some advice

Hi Everyone,

I'm 52 years old and have been training seriously since 2019.

Quick background regarding cycles:

My first cycle was 500 mg Test. My second was 500 mg Test, 500 mg Mast, and 300 mg Deca. This year I've been keeping things more moderate: 250 mg Test, 250 mg Mast, 100 mg Deca, and 2 IU of GH. I'm about 3 weeks into the cycle.

My wife has also been training seriously since 2019. She's going through menopause and is on prescribed estrogen and progesterone, along with 10 mg of testosterone per week. She also runs a 6-8 week Anavar cycle during the summer, she's about 2 weeks into her cycle

Here's the situation: we unexpectedly booked a trip to Mexico in about three weeks. (Wedding) If we'd known about it, we would have planned our cycles around it.

We're wondering if there's any point in changing anything at this stage. My wife is a little more concerned than I am about things like water retention, buffet food, extra sodium, and just feeling her best on vacation.

Would you continue the cycle as planned, reduce any of the compounds, or stop anything before the trip? Any tips on diet? We'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's been in a similar situation.

im sure someone with lots of experience will get back to you soon,patience please
 
A one week celebration? Have fun man. Change nothing, take a double dose before you go. Enjoy the buffet and everything else as one week won't end the world for the body. It will actually like you for the rest unless you are planning on training there. Pills are easy to drop into a pocket of shorts injectables not so much.

I went to mexico mid cycle this year. Took my 500mg day before. Slipped aromasin in several different pockets in luggage etc. went and ate and drank way too much. Life's short sir, go have a blast. If for some reason the orals get spotted id just say there sex pills😀 and even us old guys hope to get some fuckin on vacay, likely they dont grill you much after that. Im sure anavar and any AI could be bought while there if needed. When I was there they advertise roids everywhere🤷

Thanks man!!! She'll be glad to hear this, I told her I would ask on here

I'm not worried about travelling with it. I've got prescribed test, so I just use that vial for my blend and bring another one for her shot. I pin every day anyway, so I throw a bag of insulin pins in with the two bottles and I've never had any issues. Was more worried about body composition changes

Thanks again for the tips, much appreciated...

Haha, the sex pills, toys etc... are definitely making the trip too. Priorities.
 
Its all long ester so just take it the day before or the day you leave. Pick it back up when you get home. You wont notice anything.
The diet aspect is another thing all together. The worse you are on your trip, the worse you are going to look day after day. Thats just how it goes.
I take berberine with me and take 2 caps before each meal and 2 before bed. This kinda helps with the bloat.
I have other tricks but they are for more advanced users. Sorry
 
Also if your/she is on a low carb or carnivore type diet now and then start eating a bunch of carbs on the trip, you are going to balloon up.
I say eat a late breakfast with lots of protein and fats. As low carb as you can. Skip lunch and have a good dinner.
Bring quest bars or something with you if your hungry in between or late at night

Yeah I’m worried about the bloat, well my wife is, we eat clean, 1 cheat day a week where she will have 1 glass of wine, I have no issues sticking to a diet and don’t drink. she takes reta, so she can do her shot right before we go and then I figure we just stay away from processed meats. She tried primo one summer (before reta) and blew up, the bloat was insane, her diet wasn’t dialled in though but it still gave her PTSD. I think she’ll be fine, I’m just reading her these comments now.. thanks for your input, will definitely look into berberine and am now curious about your other tricks!! 😁

We eat a decent amount of carbs, mostly white rice, potatoes, and sourdough rye. We fast to about noon. And have one cheat day a week. The bars were a good idea. I never thought about that 👍
 
Pig out the last day after the pool cause who cares on the plane ride home. Get your moneys worth and eat all the shit youve been craving during the trip then
 
all you guys are making wanna go to mexico pretty bad lol , not at all the stuff i thought i was going to be reading,solid advice!!! enjoy your trip man.
 
I used to get conserned about how I’d look on holidays, but my wife said something once.
‘We didn’t go on a holiday so people could look at us, we did it so we can have fun, so who cares if we are ripped’

Just go have fun and don’t care if you get bloated. Everyone else will be badly out of shape. The few times I went in damn good shape, it was almost worse because you knew people were looking, and then you were on show. Now I just go normal and have fun.

I don’t even train on holidays. Eat drink and do whatever I want, the gym will be there when I get home.

Jesus 28lbs! Buffets? I went I hit Cambodia and Vietnam I lost a pile of fat eating 4 or 5 times per day. Everything I ate was fresh in the ground or on land within a day or so. A typical Pho is about 3 cups with rice noodles in a fat rich broth and shit load of veggies and some meat. There are calories there just not a whole lot and the type is pretty decent for you. I met a retired doctor in Hoi An Vietnam and the topic of the thinness of the locals came up and I remember him saying distinctly "You can't get fat eating rice". By that he meant rice noodles and regular white steamed rice not fried with cups of oil rice. I also have to say the portion size is enough for a stuffing meal for a 150lb person but perfect for me. As a whole if I order chicken fried rice I get pretty much half what I get in the US size wise.
