Strive For Moreee

How much weight did you gain over the course? Youre going to cruise on test after?
I put on just about 18lbs. I will give exactly numbers Sunday for you guys. Post some final pics as well.

And yes. 200mg of test cyp for at least the next 6 months. I’ve also decided any blast from this point forward will be short esters and also 8-10 weeks. 16-20 is just too long for me. I feel I can still accomplish the same goal in a shorter amount of time and also in a bit healthier way not staying shut down for so long.

Hey props on those gains and a great log. Everything was very consistent and you look ripped brother.

Thanks man I appreciate it. It’s been a struggling to really pack on some size. Been eating like a horse. Definitely made some decent changes. But it has been a lot harder than I suspected it would be.

Something Ive told myself and friends over the years. That limit, that wall of uneasy feelings, that threshold of discomfort, the mental physical barrier of self preservation, the improvements are just on the other side.

It’s frustrating sometimes. I’ve put on a decent amount of weight but have had some close friends and even family say I’ve “skimmed down”. Which. I guess is good ? Converting bad weight to lean tissue I guess.
 
If your weight/strength is up and your getting comments like that Im sure youre going the right direction. Your face/neck probably looks leaner with additional muscle tisse, Your shoulders wider, waist smaller. Even without a significant decrease in bf I've got these comments on a cycle in the past. "Hey man, you loose weight?" Me "No, up 10 lbs" Friend " No way" Me, in my head " wtf? I'm on test w/o an AI? how the hell do I look smaller?"

Today was a shoulder and tricep focused push day. Chest exercises were purely to get a good pump and focus on hard contractions so weight wasn’t tracked. Just used what felt good.

Next week is going to be a nice much needed deload week. Keeping weight at 65-70% and will probably not do a push pull legs split. Going to just go in and focus on a muscle group at a time and get an extra rest day in also.

This week is a deload for me guys. May take next week as well as a deload. I’ve always done nothing but hypertrophy focused programs for the duration of my time lifting. I think during this long cruise I’m going to look into running a strength program. Still be able to pack on some size but ultimately I want to get strong. I believe strength and size go hand in hand and I also believe it will create some foreign stress for me during the cruise and come blast time 6 months from now I’ll be in a good position.
