Nice work Flex!
Really needed that man, thank you.You may not be where you want to be but you sure as hell are better off than where you started!! There are no shortcuts to any place worth going Flex. Keep it going champ.
Basically, hitting up one spot and staying there. Lunging, recovering and switching legs as opposed to doing the 'dead man walking' in the gym.Standing lunges as opposed to walking?
Doin 20mg Tammy EOD. I never have experienced pain, no lactation. Just a few annoyances. I've lowered dose to 50mg and all seems to be status quo. I'll end the nolva when I hitup PCT. Torem will be my choice here. I think I'll be just fine. I have the tools I need in case I get further sides!Money bro, how is everthing goin? (gyno)
I dont have letro or caber. Its my next best option.The tamoxifen is just blocking estro
You don't need caber, just be sure to adjust dose down accordingly
Use PowerFULL or bulk SuperSapponins it lowers prolactin levels reducing prolactin induced gyno. If the regular PowerFULL it will also provide an increase in both test and GH.Of which? My PCT? If PCT, absolutely. Im thinking 90/60/30
Im frustrated because I knew I couldve managed well with an AI like rimmy throughout the cycle but decided to do w/o. Controlling estro ultimately controls prolactin. Better judgement next run.
Will 1-C help in this situation? I have Bulk 1-C sittin around.Use PowerFULL or bulk SuperSapponins it lowers prolactin levels reducing prolactin induced gyno. If the regular PowerFULL it will also provide an increase in both test and GH.
NICE PR! I always hated having a stranger as a spot because they do not know you or how you lift.Shoulders/Chest
Flat Barbell Bench
135 - 10
225 - 5
275 - 10 (PR!!!!)
245 - 6
225 - 8
So I told my partner I was going for a PR on bench, either 275x10 or 315x5. Got 9 unassisted and little help on 10. Friggin STOKED!
My partner ended up skippin out and I had a stranger, yet veteran there, as my spot. Thanked him wholeheartedly, that was awesome.
Been tryin to meet new folks at the gym but its hard when everyone looks at you like a freak, I'm a friggin nice guy, sheesh!
Seated Chest Flye Machine
115 - 10, 10, 10
Nice and slow. I'm really trying to seperate my front delt with the upper chest with this.
Standing Military Press
135 - 6
115 - 8
95 - 12
Shoulders already pumped from bench. Did my best here, I was happy I had good stim there already and felt the burn.
Seated Dumbbell Presses
45 - 10, 10, 10
Went light to intentionally rest/pause these. Full motion all the way up all the way down with pause.
TCups
15 - 8, 8, 8
Glad I read these on other peeps' logs. These are brutal. Had to cheat on some reps to get em done. I love doing these, putting the weights down and doing little circles into big circles and then reversing motion.
Rear Laterals, cables
10 - 10, 10, 10
A set of these takes forever. I do them extremely slow and no hitch on the top or bottom, just constant tension. Seems light, but it gets rippin!
20 min low intense cardio, 15 min sauna.
Notes
-Ended my OEP. Ran out and I have a bottle but Im going to save that for future use.
-Just still stoked about the 275x10 on flat bench. If we can rep that for 3 sets I'd actually be pretty content. Any heavier and the joints start hurtin.
-Felt good today. Arms tomorrow.
-For my man Kleen! Question. I'm 15.4%. My goal was 12-13% by the end of 8 weeks. I'm in my 3rd week. I thnk numbers after this week will determine if I need to cut calories. I lost .6%, 1 lb last week. If I can lose another lb, great, but I want to lose at least 2 per week.
I'm thinking cutting out my 27g carbs first thing in the morning, netting a loss of 108 calsx5=540 cals. Is this a smart move, too much, too little?
The numbers at the end of this week will really help me determine what I think I should be doing.
Yeah I was pretty upfront with him telling dont help me unless I get stuck for a 2 count and 8 reps is normal for me. I've seen the folks he works out with though and it made it an easy decision. He trains with a female competitor (or so it seems); this woman is jacked and ripped.NICE PR! I always hated having a stranger as a spot because they do not know you or how you lift.
Yeah, I dont like when the game gets outta hand like that. It's like, who can ingest the most drugs and get away with it (or not).Cool and like Big said the B6 should help, I forgot about that. Not sure about the 1-C I know it is the SuperSappnins that lower prolactin levels in PowerFULL but 1-C may also have the ability to help out. B6 is a cheaper option. Lactating.... Oh UhUh!!! I knew a guy who did that. Stayed on cycle year round. He was huge but he showed me and my friend that and says it's okay once I am big enough I am getting gyno surgery anyway so I am not worried about it. I was like WTF???? Bad things are happening inside your body dude.
Well, I do get 2 lower caloric intake days already, that being Sat/Sun. I sleep in alot longer losing time to get more meals, hence less calories. I actually like the Mon-Fri schedule because its like clockwork for every meal.What about just lowering or cutting out carbs on the off/cardio days?
LOL weren't you just asking about cutting calories Flex? Sorry it made me laugh. Enjoy that meal I know you have earned it!:cheers: :cheers:Cardio. 1HR
Also did some calve work and ab work. 15 min sauna.
-More improvements. Can visually tell. Spare tire around the waist isn't a spare tire anymore. Lower back fat reduced as well as glutes.
It's all coming together.
-Gonna eat good 2nite and maybe even have some dessert.
-Numbers tomorrow should be solid again.
man thats great. I'm waiting for the day i can say the spare tire is gone. it always seems to linger till the end with me. looking forward to #'sCardio. 1HR

I was, I was. I did well. Ate good, ate some tasty desserts and didnt feel guilty about it. Back to work tomorrow morning. I'm not sure I'm ready to do a cheat meal once a week. The numbers arent telling me that a cheat meal will keep me losing BF so I'd rather skip it.LOL weren't you just asking about cutting calories Flex? Sorry it made me laugh.

I have more of a 10 speed bike tire, lol. Drastically improved, and when I actually see a 6 pack...I might cry..thats right, I said it, cry. I've never seen my abs other than 4. Naa I wont cry but it will be a milestone for sure.man thats great. I'm waiting for the day i can say the spare tire is gone. it always seems to linger till the end with me. looking forward to #'s
TY friend. You've always chimed in at all the right times when I needed 'something' whether adding simple reminders/tips or praise. It really does help me keep moving in the right direction.Man a few things first your body is ready. It will help that stall you feel like you are entering into. Rekindle the metabolism once a week with some great food. OR do a clean high calorie day one day a week and the next week have a cheat meal instead. Either way the extra calories are good for the metabolism every once in a while. See what happened today your muscle bellies filled up giving you more lbm on top of some fat lass and BAM instant major changes. Now 3 days from now some of that glycogen and water it is holding in the muscle will slowly go down but the elevation of your metabolis will still assist in fat burning.
Second Congratulations Bro! Nice compostition jump. I remember going down from the first time I saw my abs to when I was so ripped I could not believe it. Honestly I loved the mirror and it loved me back! Every time I walked by one I had to stop and look. The transformations was so amazing to me every mirror or reflections was fun to see. Like a present I had wanted for 20 years finally unwrapped and surprised me at every reflective surface. Yeah it is awesome Bro! I can't wait to be leaning up more where my abs become really apparent instead of light shadows and small indentions.
Thx bro. All the years of lifting and finally I'm seeing what I've created. It's almost unexplainable and I'm not sure I can describe it. Like a painting finally becoming a spectacle after 10 yrs of artistry. Spectacle is respectable but I want Epic.Night and day difference Flex!! The definition is really starting to show. You have some great thickness going on with your muscle bellies. You will be surprised how much bigger you will look when the muscles are popping.
We aint done brotha! You stick tight!Dude....f*cking rip city!!! Damn Flex I knew you could do it...
I do remember, I don't forget much of what you have to addBy the way you hae lost a lot of intra muscaular or visceral fat. Not just what shows differently under your skin but in thickness of your abdomen. Rememeber I said your abs would start to tuck up under your ribcage first then them showing was just around the corner.
