Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

[Silentlemon1011]

I've officially decided to cut. Went to the store yesterday and got all the foods I cut with last time. I started some HGH up last night at 2iu ED and upped my cruise dose from 150mg/week to 200mg. Not this week, but this month will start up fasted cardio on my two non gym days during the week.

Have let myself get too fat over the last year chasing bench numbers. Mostly successful at least hitting 440x1 touch and go in the gym and 425x1 paused at the local meet last year. But besides some low dose var sprinkled in here and there I've just been cruising on 150mg for about a year now. That and with all the bulking I'm not happy with how I'm looking these days.

Here's a current pic from yesterday weighing 220ish for accountability to actually get through a cut without bailing out.

This one is from December 13th 2019 towards the end of my last cut weighing 195ish. Shooting for getting close to this lean again in the next couple of months.

Today's workout

Front squat
225lbs for 3x8

Bodyweight dips
4 sets of 15

Light farmers carries

20 minutes of stationary bike


Just kind of winging it right now until I decide what sort of program I'll be running.

Wont take you long
Considering you know exactly what you're doing on a cut.

Fuck you.... were looking shredded

@Perrin Aybara which growth are you running, mauves?

Second this. Looking to add GH when I blast next winter.

Fucking get it bro. I’m looking to get a 6 pack by the end of the year.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I’d be happy with your look at 220 lol. I’m getting fat too. Can’t fucking keep up with this type of training and not add calories

I'm going to do mostly alternatives to the big 3 for the duration. Strength will take a massive hit no matter what, so might as well not watch my lifts go down 20% gradually.

Damn you sure let yourself go Perrin! Bet the wife loves you fat and happy though and she will be heartbroken when you get lean and mean again lol jk.

It was worth it for the bench numbers.

@Perrin Aybara which growth are you running, mauves?

For now yes. I had a kit left over from a year or so ago. Batch number 81. Not up to date on the current HGH scene, so will have to research a bit.

8-10 weeks is my estimate. As long as I can stick with it. Getting away from the big three helps a lot. Otherwise I quit when I get a lot weaker.

It helps a lot for sure with cutting. Especially with fasted cardio.

Lmfao
I can relate to that
If my DL goes down by 10 lbs on a cut (Because I had a bad day)
I immediatly abandon my cut and start eating.

I have a problem lol

No problems, only solutions. Eating just happens to be it here. Lol

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Beltless high bar squat
315lbs for 3x8

Close grip bench
275lbs for 3x8

Sled pushes and pulls

Day 3 of almost no carbs. Felt nauseous in the gym, maybe partly the high reps and partly the lack of carbs.

[followed by pics of not being fat]

Well, I feel like the fucking Blob in comparison you hateful hairy bastard

Good luck cutting. I get incredibly bitchtastic after about 5 low/no carb days.

I'm already there after a few low carb days.

No gym today. They stuck me back on my old route for the rest of the week, so nothing but work and sleep and rushing between each. Looking like might be next week too.

That sucks bro. Work always getting in the way of gains.
-I found a decent driving gig I’ll be taking up after I get back from Colombia—Hauling hazmat in a dry van. Hours are pretty great too, 4am-2pm. I was surprised.

My route is decent hours 7pm to 2-3am. They just can't keep anyone on my old one. The guy did it after me quit and the latest guy just quit. We had two floater drivers to cover stuff like that. The one with least seniority was supposed to cover it, but he quit on the spot rather than do it even once. The other floater is covering someone on vacation. They brought in an out of town driver and put him on mine because they don't think he could finish this other one within 14 hours. Took me 13 last night and I'm familiar with it.

Jesus bro. You’re doing P&D right? It never changes. People don’t wanna work.

They pay the same right, is it just because it’s a long route

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Yeah, besides this one route most aren't too crazy. Most drivers don't want any physical work though it seems.

Because it's paid by the mile and the stop it pays the same as mine. I can do mine in 7-8 hours. I was 12 hours last night and 13 hours the night before on the other one. It's mostly non interstate driving and very high volume stores.

At least you'll be off the route in a while I hope?
I know what the long days do to.you.

Supposedly back to normal Monday. And yes, not getting 7-8 hours sleep daily makes my life unmanageable. Working 10's and even 11's hitting the gym and getting 8 hours is doable, but 12-13 it's just not.

Yeah, everything starts to slip.
For me it's the nutrition that goes first.

Lifting heavy shit is my sanity, it's the last thing that gets swept under the rug lol
My crews always comment "Havnt been lifting eh?" if im not my usual happy go lucky self.

Thank fuck you're back to normal Monday, csnt PR with the long runs I find.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Been lifting this week, just haven't had much time to update since I go straight to work after and then forget. Nothing exciting, just getting stuff done. Woke up at 214lbs this morning after two weeks almost no carbs.

 

[Worf]

Ouch, you gotta be miserable
