These last few leg workouts have been absolutely brutal. Strength is up ALOT. I feel great in the gym. Endurance not so much but also take into consideration these workouts are long and not for the faint of heart. Vascularity has increased substantially and it’s been a bit of a struggle to gain weight and I promise you guys I’m eating ALOT.

Yeah those leg workouts look like killers lol.... I believe you on the weight gain as I am eating 3800 and dropping. I have upped my cals again for the last part of my blast. One thing I learned from my first blast is keep upping the cals as the gain stops or becomes a loss

It’s crazy. I’ve never had this issue. Right now in my blast I’m running 600mg test cyp, 1200mg equipoise, and 600mg npp and the more I eat the tighter my body gets it’s crazy. I literally just ate about a pound of potatoes, 4 eggs, and maybe 6oz of chicken. Probabaly down a big ass shake before bed as well. I obviously gotta push harder at it so.

So normally I would get all my supplements online but life’s been a bit hectic and I ran out just purely by not paying attention and procrastinating so I had to buy a quick fix at vitamin shoppe until my package arrives. I bought a small container of BSN Syntha - 6 peanut butter cookie and my God. This stuff is awesome. Just made a nice 855cal shake before bed:
2 scoop syntha 6
2tbsp skippy natural Pb
1c cashew and almond milk
1c dry oats.

That shake is right up my alley. You should try this out man. Put a couple tbls of crunchy PB into whole milk Greek and drizzle with honey. It’s like 33 grams of protein and nice before bed. o_O

So since reaching the beginning of week 9 and still being relatively lean and only putting about 8lbs on I’ve really decided to push the food hard this last stretch of the blast. I may add in Superdrol for 2 week bursts I haven’t decided yet. But, as you can see this is what my daily intake is going to look like. I’m not going to go above 350g ish of protein I just don’t think even to grow my body needs more than that. Going to mainly push carbs and get the rest of cals from fat. Now, on my rest days carbs won’t be quite as high but best believe I will still push food. I don’t have a “set” calorie or carb goal each day. I just know I wanna be above 4000 and see what happens so that’s what I’m going to aim for a couple weeks and then check back in with weight and see how my performance on the gym is as well along side of what the mirror is telling me.
