Time for some size!

[jJjburton]

For example before covid I was doing 315 for 8 for 3 sets and 405 for 2. Deadlift

i only can do 300 since no more plates. But i can do 300 for 10 reps and 6-8 sets. Not going to 1 RM at all or even 5 RM. sticking to above 8 reps. To avoid injury.

20lbs gained so far??!

Yes. 220 to now 240. Stalled there i am 240. Trying for 250. But this last 10 is going to go slower. Its been 7 weeks this friday. Have 6-8 more weeks to go. So 250 is very doable. The bf is good with me, if i flex i have abs. Straitions all over and vascular then ever.

Isn’t 20lbs substantial for being that many cycles in?
I’m hoping to get 20lb from my first 12 week Test E run and hopefully keep 15 of it afterwards.. might be wishful thinking.

You can easily do that. Very easily if diet is good and you are versed with working out.

For me, i can cut weight very very easy. For you it may be different. So when i bulk, i bulk as much as possible. That said i have never run a cutting cycle lol.

the amount of cycles dont matter.

I was on trt for 8-10 weeks prior to this cycle.

5-10 lbs of what i gained is probably water.

Weight gain is food dependent.

Compounds or cycle history, dont determine weight gain.

cycles allow for better nutrient usage when diet and workouts are done well.

weight gain, and muscle mass are 2 different things.

Holy crap. Taking a day off is hard. I went to go lift, had to stop myself. I need heavy things!

Its always hard to take a day off. But I always find if I don't stop myself, my body sure as hell will!
Pop -> shoulder
Snap -> knee
Crack -> lower spine

I'm happy to hear you do yoga. I do it every night and it goes a long way for maintaining recovery.

It really does. Very underrated, yoga is. When i am going good and in the groove in my exercise routine, i do it 10-20 minutes a day, sometimes 2x like today on active rest. At least 1x a day. I dont go longer then 20 minutes, i lose interest.

[jJjburton]

Took it easy with the food today. Also didnt use any compounds needed a rest with pinning ED. Its getting annoying. But 8 weeks to go.

worth it for GAINZ!

2 huge smoothies possible 1000-1200 cals each.

maybe a burger tonight.

thats it. Tomorrow i will pick up where i left off.


Weighed in at 243 yesterday, but will most likely be 240 again tomorrow since my food intake today was off.

i did increase my water though, and starting taking fiber. The constant pooping is ridiculous. 2 days ago 8 times. Its absurb. Maybe fiber will help. Hence the increase with phyllium husk.

 

[jJjburton]

Crap down to 237. I need to go to
Grocery store. I was 243 3 days ago. I did a 2 day deload/rest.

25 mg aromasin taken for 2 days and not eating as much for one day. 6 lbs down lol.

i needed to get rid of some water weight. Was a little to much. Feels much different now. So no more aromasin for 4-5 weeks. I want the water and anabolic build up again. My libido was taking a little hit from the high e2. Otherwise i would of kept as is. But i need my libido.

today legs

Squats and deadlifts only.

 

[jJjburton]

From a 1-10 i like my e2 at a 6-7 it was at a 9-10.

my hands felt swollen.

i Dont have ability for bloods anymore. I used to get every cycle. Pre, mid and post. So i can feel the e2. But everything else is probably shit.

my state banned bloodwork for this, and my old doc said i cant keep doing it all the time through him, he let me for a while though.

Sucks to hear about bloodwork! It's impressive how it works there
