Alright, I've been around 10% bodyfat before, but this time I wanted to get under 10% and stay over 200 pounds. Ran this recomp cycle, i'm at the end of week 8 now.
Cycle
was pretty advanced
1-3 SD pulse @ 10mg on WO days (12 caps total)
2-8 test prop 75mg ed
T-Roid 3-6 90/90/120/120
SD weeks 6-8 10/20/20
PheraPlex weeks 6.5-8 @ 20/30
2-8 T3 started at 25, ramped up to 50, spent about a week between 3-4 using 75, then back to 50 for weeks 6 and into 7, 25 for the rest of 7 and 8.
Concept
I've used SD and PP twice each so I know what to expect, use prop before, used it as a base.
Idea was get strength rolling with SD, bring in test prop and tren to keep off the catabolism of T3, load that up and run the tren.
The meat of the cycle was supposed to be T-Roid, but i dropped it due to sides. I got great strength off of, vascularity increased greatly, but i got night sweats bad, lost libido completely even though i'm on a good bit of test (it took about 2 weeks to come back).
I needed to replace it with something powerful... so i decided to finish out trying the compounds that worked and run the PP/SD stack. PP/SD is about as good as it gets for me because each compound treats me great. So although i'm on week 8, I feel great, and my workouts are still getting better
As of week 8 the only sides I have are... minor lethargy, that I could attribute to hitting the gym twice a day and only getting 6 hours of sleep.. and a little bit of acne. I feel pretty stacked and jacked 24/7, appetite has been as good as ever.
Anyway here are some after pictures. Unfortunately i didn't do befores. But you can look up my thread history and find my last SD/Test cycle I logged and see me all fatty bulked up at 235.

Weight gains: gained 2 pounds
Fat loss: lost about 3% i think
strength gains: about 25-35 pounds on major lifts. Up around 15-20 on minor lifts
Strength
Did some amazing things this cycle.
Weighted dips: +135 pounds *14 reps
Standing curls with the EZ curl bar: 155*8
I'm hack squating 4 plates per side, shrugging 6 plates per side. I do calves with my toes on a board on the hack squat machine and get up to 4 plates per side for about 20.
With pulls, i am doing the 140 pound dumbell for db rows, 265 pounds for barbell rows, 260 on the pulldown machine.
didn't do much direct pressing due to lack of a spotter, but strength was up about 25 pounds. Shoulders got real sick looking for shoulder flys.
