[17] Starting First TestE 4/500mg Wk

[Throwback]

Update time. So when I first got got into lifting which was a bit before this OP. I could barely bench 80 for 5 reps, of 1 set. Now I can do 100lbs for 3 sets, and on rep day I can do 7 reps of 80lbs for 3 sets. Noticing some more abdominal definition without flexing, and when flexed. What I'm enjoying is that I can significantly feel and see the progress, especially in biceps and legs. Although I never took pictures of my quads or legs in general was cause until last few months I've never even done a weighted squat let alone consistent squats. I have noticed the most progress in the back and quads. I don't squat anything more than 70lbs, or dead lift more than 80lbs as I want to master my form before going heavy. Started doing pull ups frequently (was usually only doing chin ups for 10 reps 2 sets) and could only do 5 perfect form. Also been incorporating many different types of push ups, and before I forget calve raises. Last but not least I've been spending alot of time at school, home, work, etc flexing my pecs alone to establish better muscle memory cause I want to be able to pec flex like the Rock lol. Aswell and daily stretches such as the middle splits which I started with about 85 degrees, now I can get about 100-110 degrees which has helped in height I can kick too. Ordered a new barbell as the one I have right now is only 5ft long which I think may contribute to such a low bench press number. All in all I'm enjoying life, school, work, my body etc and plan to keep pushing my self. If ur just tuning in I DECIDED NOT TO TAKE STEROIDS OR DNP. Im sure I'm missing somethings I meant to include feel free to ask questions.

Finally a youngster with the maturity to make the right choice.
Eat a ton of food and kill it in the gym!
Congrats on doing the right thing.

Since March 2016 I grew Tricep/Bicep size from 11.9in --13.75in. Before benching I had never even worked to hard on chest and triceps, but using bench press, combined with tricep extensions <--(Cruicial) I have noticed a HUGE difference in strength, and now growth. I know my legs are weak, gomd. Signing out, not much to say on this post.

I'm just gonna name most of the weighted exercised I've been doing, pronated grip of ez curl bar, pronated curls (for forearms), above head tricep extensions, kneeling dumbell kickbacks(these ones are brutal after a tricep workout, never had a sore/burn the next day but I love it), supenated curls(for biceps), weighted push ups, weighted chin ups/pull ups, weighted calve raises(3 varying foot positions+full ROM, very effective), although I don't do it often because I never feel it, I''ll still include butterflies(Chest), recently added shrugs because I fixed flaw in form which prevented me from even feel it in my traps, Military press, bench press(2 varying grips)

You need to eat more.

A. Lot. More.

 

[Burrr]

Good for you kid.
Keep it up!

@MindlessWork Here you go....

I know your right, I'm only maintaining enough calories to slightly burn calories cause it's summer time and I want to be able to see the last set of abs hidden under less than a centimeter of adipose tissue. I've still made alot of strength gains, but I agree eating way more would of speed up my process.

This, IMO, is a flawed thought process a lot of guys have. Muscle burns a lot of calories. Eat more, build more muscle, burn more fat.

You are very lean, get yourself into a nice 500-750cal surplus and you are not going to add a ton of fat.

Keep up the good work bud, keep working on building that base. You're off to a good start, just need to turn it up a notch.

Good choice and good gains, as young as you are not having a PCT or AI during and after your cycle would've left you in a depression and could've shut off your test. Coming from someone who took ostarine at a young age I had a depression after my cycle and lost most of my 10lb gains by being dumb. Luckily that was a warning for me to do my research and get back in the weight room and build a solid foundation. Ostarine isn't even considered a harsh SARM. Compared to these steroids it was very weak. But it slapped me in the face and told me to do more research and wait for a time that I'm ready. Good luck in your journey and ask me any questions if you have any I'll be free to help. I know the difficulties of being your age and some people can't see that. But don't be stupid always read up on what you're doing and even when you think you're ready there's always more to be learned.

Oh boi progress update, where to start? I'm feeling good! Inspired and motivated for sure. Current weight: 153lbs +/-2lbs 69.8kg +/-.9kg. Only up like 4lbs from maybe July or June. Bout to wrap up first quarter of senior year, I've been enrolled in weights for the first year and I think this choice was what broke a barrier. Increase in almost every lift since last update. Current BP 1 REP MAX: 145lbs which I couldn't achieve at that weight 3-4months ago. bicep curl with bar 25-30lbs+bar for 3-5reps, 3sets, then reverse curls with 20lbs+bar weight for 4-5reps, 3 sets started 10-15. I've been doing all those exercises since day one and thats where I've seen the most progress, but back to gym class. I've started deadlifting consistently 2 times a week in gym class. This is fairly new as in the last 2 weeks and can get 120+45lb bar comfortably for 3-5 reps, 3 sets. I've done 170+45lbs but felt a very shit form and wasn't gonna go for reps, even at 140+45lbbar. Also I've switched up the bench by using dumbbells in gym class, I can comfortably get 45-50lb in each hand making sure to control and contract for a good 3-5 reps, for 2-3 sets depending on what other lifts/ machines I've used. Since the beginning of this year summer I've put on roughly 10-15lbs and and proud of the SLOW progress I've made. Since school started it also much easier to have a surplus of calories as I have free/reduced lunch that I never miss out on. Eggs or sausage sandwich every morning and a glass full of water, and eating lunch every day has seemed to give my body some help in digestion of food as I feel way more regular now aswell. I'm still trynna bulk as I can still see signs or abs in these updated pictures which still means I'm pretty skimpy. I'll post a pic of legs, and back as I'm almost positive my back is fucking huge now. Not to ur guys standards, but I've seen progress just gotta document it. I gotta show legs just cause you guys never had a picture to base their size upon. My left quads is considerably bigger which is normal but I've tried to balance that out in gym class as well with the leg extension making sure to isolate the left leg to more fatigue then the right. I can shoulder press 135lbs for 3reps max decent for 3 sets, or comfortably at 120lbs for 3-7reps for 3 sets. I can do 140lbs for 3-6reps for 3 sets on the chest press machine, the next weight up is 160lbs which I currently couldn't do. I still don't feel comfortable with anything more than 45lb bar plus 10-20 on each side so I don't do them often which I've done more recently. <----- video of physique within last 7 days.

Stay on the course that your on...its the right one.

Good job. I see muscles!! Keep it up and EAT! I know we keep saying that but if you added even 3-400 calories a day you'd see much more. Don't worry about your abs right now. Time to eat and grow.
