I use to break out in a sweat, I understand. But with knowledge, you can overcome that fear.

Day 2:
Felt that "kick it into 2nd gear" feeling halfway through my work out. If this is how it feels all the time then im excited for whats ahead. Pre-fatigued myself with 3 games of basketball (played, sat out 1, played 2 straight)
SQUAT DAY
Pull ups//10, 7(I like to hit a back/pulling movement each day to counter all the pressing)
Barbell Squat//Warm up, 95x10,135x8, 160x5, 180x3, 210x2, 225x1, 240 AMRAP (16)
Backoff set // 2x10 @185
Leg Extension// 4 x 12, 1 x 20 @160 ***this is where I felt the var and was doing 2 extra reps per set and 1 set of 20 cause fuck it I was feeling good.
Hack Squat// 3 x 8 w/2 plates each side
Calories/macros the same. Happened to end up eating 250g of protein, so I dropped the carbs to balance, I just naturally select lower carb food. 2500//~250p,~150c,~100f

What's your goal here? You're doing very little work. Especially for an enhanced

lose bodyfat, retain muscle. what would you recommend changing?

Just seems like a weird goal. You're taking anabolics, and your goal is to cut? You can cut and get in shape naturally just fine. Most will say that when you're taking drugs, you want to spend your time building mass instead. Eat big and train big. The sheer amount of volume per bodypart is very low. I do 4x your volume on any given day.

I would like to build muscle as well, but with Anavar being on the milder side I'm keeping my expectations somewhat realistic. I would have done this cut naturally but I've got a vacation in Mexico mid March. So I figured this cycle would help me from going catabolic as I cut, aiming to lose ~11 to 12%bf

Add exercises is more what I meant.
thencrownem123

oh ok.
Would you recommend starting off by just adding exercises or removing some volume from 1 exercises to another?
For example
5x8:Bench press + 4 x 10-12 Incline Bench + 3x16 Flyes OR
5x8 Bench + 3 x 8 Incline Bench+ 5x16 Flyes?
I'll eventually adjust reps/sets just wondering what you would recommend as a start

Day 9(2/1)weighed in at 227.4. Still seeing a downward trend with the fat loss so ill keep the 2500cal diet. Tues/Thurs are days where I can get my "cardio" in with basketball.
SQUAT DAY
Pull ups//10, 10, 8
**1 game of basketball, warmed up hips and knees**
Barbell Squat//Warm up, 95x10,135x8, 160x5, 185x5, 4 x 5 @205, 1 set of 205 *scheduled*AMRAP(12)
->dunno if I didn't get enough rest in between sets but got light headed, so felt like I had at least 3 in reserve
->Caught my breath, drank some water- Backoff set // 2x10 @185
Hack Squat//3 sets x 10 w/2plates each side
Leg Extension// 4 x 15 @160
Seat Leg Curl// 3 x 10
Pin Loaded Leg Press(i can never get into a good position with 45deg Leg Press)// 2 x 20 @300
Basketball 3 games straight. Gonna guess that losing the initial ~20lbs drastically improved my cardio and movement. But I feel like the var makes a huge difference. usually after my Squat day I'll take a breather and wait a bit before playing after lifting or vice versa. but I was able to jump into it seamlessly.
Day 9(2/2)
GPP
Rode the bike to the gym. once again,I think it's the initial weight loss, but I noticed i shaved a couple minutes off my ride.
Trap Bar Farmers walk//225 for 10yds x 10
Ab Wheel // 5 x 10 (gave the forearms a break)
Hanging Leg Raise//3 x 10
Cable Ab Crunch//5 x 10
**Basketball 2 games**
EZ Bar curl// 4 x 10
DB alternate Curls// 3x10 @30
Pin Wheel Curls// 3 x 15 @40 (cheated last 3, 4, 6)
Cable Curls// 2x20 @ 55
Tried to add a variety of exercises after the little exchange with Klokke. Today is my OHP day, I'll see how well I recovered.

weighed in 225.4, Playing around with the macro timing this week. Pretty much have a serving of berries and egg whites in the AM, lunch noonish (couple sandwiches or like a wrap of some sort, quest chips) and rice cakes with pb2 pre workout. Gonna stay with that routine for a bit and see what how it affects my lifting, so far pretty good.
Deadlift Day
Bike// for 15min
Hamstring Curls// 3 x 20 get the blood flowing
Back extensions// more warm up 4 x 10ish
Sumo// 4x5 @275 and 1xAMRAP@275(10)
Rack Pull ~3inches below the knee// 6x6@335
Squat//3x10 @185
Hamstring curl//20@100,16@115,12@130, 2x8@160
Seated Calves // 3 x 12 slow negatives w/2 plates
Half Ass game of basketball to finish things up. Nothing crazy or new, cardio&intensity&motivation seem to be consistently rising. Gonna take the average weight of this week's weigh in and possibly drop some fats.

Because A) i caught the vid and B) managed to injure my tibia (soft tissue damage, thankfully no break, currently only able to stand up for about 20min durations as long as im constantly moving otherwise its hell) slowly progressing but it still uncomfortable as shit. maybe ill start pinning stemcells lol
