Simply Shredding!

Thanks for the feedback gents. Yeah I know my goals are lofty, and I don't think I'm a genetic freak at all, but I'm still going to give it my all.
I don't think you're getting it. You have. 4 cycles under your belt I think I saw? And now you're going to run that fucking cycle? How HOW do you justify that much gear for a cut? Why are you running those compounds. Explain the reasoning because I really don't get it man.

You need to cut the training by feel out. It's not working bro. You should take the fortune you're going to spend on gear and hire a respectable coach. I hate sounding like an asshole but man, are you sure your gear was legit? I got further with 600mg of test and some var followed by a fully natty cut.
 
Had a perfect day of eating today except for a tiny snack right before going to bed (now). I'm getting better at listening to my body and understanding when to give it what it needs. I felt in tune enough to indulge in about 30g of extra carbs, as I took my first dose of t3 today and I seem to have been a little hypo. Tomorrow is carb loading day, and it's also my birthday, so I'll be having a nice dinner and some cake, which is exciting. I'm aiming for about 500g of carbs, which is about double my usual daily intake currently. Tomorrow will be leg day, and I'll post an update after my training session.

Also, I've been working on my diet and will post up changes I've made for weeks 16-12-10-7-5 respectively. Each few weeks I'll be making slight tweaks with carbs and fats to adjust calories even further into a deficit. Of course I'll see how I feel when I get to those points during the cycle as well and determine the appropriate training regimen to go along with those changes.

This is my 3rd week back lifting consistently after a long hiatus, and I'm feeling really good! No sides really so to speak, except slightly more assertiveness and aggression in the gym.

I appreciate everyone's responses and concern for what I'm doing, and although I know what I'm undergoing might not be everyone's choice for themselves, it's not going to prevent me from moving forward and grinding everyday as hard as possible to achieve my goals. If you want to support me, then thank you and stay tuned for daily updates and in time, end results.

*FWIW, I never disclosed any information about past drug use, so maybe you read wrong, or are confusing this thread with another person's.

Also, I see a lot of comparisons in people's responses, which is a little confusing as there's not much to compare, considering my journey has just begun. If you are interested in seeing what I can achieve then stick around and then compare, otherwise please be respectful as I've done nothing to disrespect anyone here.

It's time for me to sleep. Weighing in at 218lbs before bed. Goodnight Meso and thanks for allowing me an outlet to log and hopefully track progress.
 
As I'm waiting for the gym to open I decided to work on my diet a little. Here's what I've come up with counting from week 16-finish (April-July). Calories have been manipulated and reduced through carb reduction, fat increases, then both carb and fat reduction in the last stretch. I will be able to better determine my caloric deficit at those times as my body weight changes, so I left it TBD for now. I will be making tweaks as the weeks go by and adjusting what I think is necessary as I go based on my progress, burning states and overall look/feeling.

I weighed in at 213.8lbs this morning, and I'm feeling pretty depleted and flat, though it seems as though my abs are slightly more visible then they were yesterday. Also, my chest and triceps aren't very sore from yesterdays workout, so I think I'll have to make some changes going forward for my next workout. I like to be able to feel things afterwards, so I know I really connected with the muscle group. The workout before last, for chest, was amazing, with heavy dumbbell flys being one of my most favorite exercises.

Alas, today will be either leg or back day depending on how I feel, as tomorrow I will rest from all activity. I will be carb loading today, and probably have extra fats as well from my birthday cake and cheat meals. I'm grateful to be able to take a break from dieting today and hopefully fill my glycogen stores back up for the coming week.

Today marks day 2 of taking t3 at 50mcg. I am dosing this in the mornings first thing before doing cardio, and on my off day I will do the same, in the am on an empty stomach.

Back with more updates soon. Have a great day Meso.
 
I've also made slight tweaks to my doses. Will keep playing around with this as I go through the coming weeks.

Cardio was easy and I skipped abs because I felt a little sore from yesterday still. For breakfast I added 1.5tbsp honey and a banana to my oats for an additional 50g of carbs, and about an oz of mozzarella cheese to my eggs for a little extra fat/protein.

I plan on adding 350g white rice to meal 5 and 6 for an extra 200g of carbs, and adding a banana/peanut butter/honey sandwich before bed. I'll also be indulging in at least 1 slice of birthday cake. Hopefully, this will put me at around 350-400g of carbs for the day, which would be a solid refeed.

I plan on hitting back today not legs, as it's one of my favorite workout sessions, and being my birthday I'd like to enjoy myself. Will post an update after training and as the day goes onward. Feeling good and staying positive!

Glad you post this here so we can help you and prevent you hurting yourself. Im not trying to be a dick but man. You need to get a good coach or you need to educate yourself more.

There no shortcut or shortcut to get "peeled". First of all. Cut your drug intake by 1/3 and start from there. Don't do cardio everyday. Do the amount least to get you one step closer to your goals this if for everything. Drugs/cardio/calories. Adjust by small increments when you don't see any progress.

2700kcal for diet start for 17% bodyfat and 214lb's is low. I don't know you but something is off if that information is real.

Building you body isn't a sprint. It's a marathon.

I mean the cycle is retarded but NO ONE has fucking seen the 200mg doxy for the whole 14 weeks??? Ahahhahahhahah
Do you know what does happen when you take antibiotics countinously to avoid acne like a fucking dumb idiot? That you build a resistance to it and when in the future you will really need that antibiotics or similar one for something serious... You are fucked!

The rest of the log is a mess of fucked up shit that I hope no one will ever follow it.
 
Thanks for your input guys. I had an amazing back workout this afternoon, high volume, heavy as I could muster. Balls to the wall 100% exertion.

Started with lat pulldowns, x4 sets
120 x 20
150 x 15
190 x 12
210 x 10

Moved onto shrugs since the machines were mostly in use. It seems like everyone was hitting back today!

125lb dumbbell shrugs x3 sets
x15
x12
x10

Hammer Strength rows single arm x4 sets
2 plates x 20
3 plates x 15
3 and a quarter plates x 12
3 and a quarter plates x 7

Lateral cable rows x3 sets
150 x 15
190 x 13
210 x 11

Cable pulldowns x3 sets
120 x 15
120 x 12
120 x 9

Dumbbell rows x3
110lb x 12
110lb x 10
110lb x 7

At this point my grip strength was about toasted.

I really wanted to see how Deads felt so..

Deadlifts x2 sets
225lb x 10
315lb x 2 (grip just gone at this point, but the weight felt light otherwise)

Finished up with some dumbbell hammer curls 45lbs x3
x15
x12
x10

Regular dumbbell curls 30lbs x2
x15
x10

Overall I felt really good, and I took a decent amount of time between sets due to being winded pretty easily. (Rested around 2 minutes max).

Blood pressure checked, 130/65, not too bad at all considering.

On a side note, I actually ended up snacking a little after breakfast before my pre-workout meal. I had some Cheetos which I'm not too proud of due to them having a slightly higher fat content than I'd like. It did add in a few extra carbs, however, and I increased the rice in my pre-workout meal from 280g of white rice to 350g for even more carbs.

PWO shake stayed the same, and I have rice cooked for meals 5 and 6 waiting to be portioned out.

It's been a great day so far and I'm really happy with how I felt in the gym. Like, things are clicking again.

*FWIW the doxycycline isn't a concern to me, as it's commonly prescribed for up to 3 months at a time. It's actually working wonders in the two weeks I've been taking it, and might stop after the first month if I feel I don't need it anymore. I've had a little bacterial infection in my skin since starting TRT a few months ago (even with my E2 dialed in), and so this will be a short harmless remedy. However, I do appreciate your concern.

Additionally, I've decided to heed Ferenor's advice and keep my dosage the same for the last 4 weeks. It will look like this:

April
1,000mg test cyp week 1-4
350mg tren ace week 1-4
100mg anadrol ed week 1-4

May:
1,000mg test cyp week 5-8
525mg tren ace week 5-8
30mg halo ed week 7-8 (Will keep an eye on BP, have Ramipril on hand, and will be mindful to lower the dose if necessary, and keep in mind this dose is only for 2 weeks).

Thank you all for reading and may you have a pleasant evening and weekend!
 
As everyone already said... I would Lower again the testosterone, say 500 mg. And keep the tren at 350 max. You are not competing... right? Anadrol save it for when you are going to bulk. And if you really want to use that Halo, use it 4-3 weeks at the end of your blast. I'd prefer 3 weeks out since it's a really strong oral, but I don't have direct experience.
 
This was one of the nicest treats I've indulged in some time. Thanks fam, and hope everyone's doing well here at Meso.
