THOUGHTS:

Weight just keeps being added to every exercise, and they all just keep feeling easier and easier. Pretty damn amazing feeling. Weighed in at 195lbs today, up +13lbs from the start of the cycle, so that's feeling good as well. Still feel a bit bloated, that's really my only complaint...I'm noticeably larger, but also less defined from the bloat. I'm still at 3000 cals on-days and 2100 off-days, and seeing that I usually maintain weight at 3200 cals, it seems like this diet should have me shedding body fat on the cycle, but it's hard to tell with the retained water weight/bloat, plus with all the weight gain I've had recently. Tomorrow I bump up to 40mg of epi.

DIET:

So far, it's 1550 cals, 139g of protein. Will probably shoot for around 3000 cals and 300g of protein.

Bro, how awesome is tghe feeling of the weight getting lighter?! Its crazy, I pick up one weight one week and struggle, the next I feel as if I can throw around the same weight! I f**cking love this sh*t lol!

[GreenEarth]

It's ridiculous. The craziest is when you have a really hard set one week, and the next week you bump up the weight...and end up having an easier set. I mean, damn...I don't have an addictive personality, but I can see how people would never want to stop cycling. Getting bigger, leaner, stronger, and honestly kind of feeling happier (I was perfectly happy before taking anything, it's just that I find myself in a good mood more often, believe it or not). Only thing I don't like, as I mentioned above, is a lot of water retention/mild bloating, but even with that I'm pretty damn happy on this cycle.

I love that feeling too, its amazing. U can deal with the water retention by just increasing your AI, its no biggie.

Give 0.25mg of adex eod a try to see if it helps with bloat. So far its been helping out a lot with me and I haven't noticed any suppressed estrogen sides. Joints feel great and so does the sex lol

[GreenEarth]

Might give that a shot, thanks. I was doing .25 2X a week, but eod may be a better idea since there seems to be a lot of debate about its half-life.

Just noticed tonight that the back of my shoulders are broken the **** out like mad. Kind of a simultaneously bad and good feeling. Would guess that that's the epi finally rearing it's side-effect head, but at least I know it really has kicked in (if the rising numbers in the gym weren't enough lol). Plus, I've always been prone to acne on my face and have been grudgingly awaiting it, but it looks like my back is the only part of me being affected by it, which is absolutely joyous lol. I guess it'll suck swimming or whatnot, but people see my face a lot more often than they see my back!

Injected 250ius of HCG tonight, sub-Q a bit to the left of my belly button using the proper method (alcohol swab, pinch a few time, inject into pinched fat, remove). Been doing this since week 2, and it still never stopped burning whilst going in (has for every injection). I'm figuring it's just because I'm decently lean...from what I understand, technically the more fat you're storing in your stomach, the lesser chance you have of experiencing pain with sub-Q injections to the abdominal region. I guess a lower bf% comes with it's pains, but it really isn't bad, just am never really expecting it. As long as I'm not doing something wrong, I really don't mind.

Diet: Should end up right around 3000 cals and 300g protein. Supposed to grab dinner with my brother tonight, so macros may be a bit strewn because of that. No offense to you hardcore dudes, but family comes before lifting. I'm dedicated as hell inside and outside of the gym, but part of that dedication is knowing when to be a hardass about things and when to let it loose.

EDIT: Fell asleep after some protein consumption late at night haha. My log sheet had 2020 cals and 247g protein. At the restaurant I had a chicken sandwich and fries. Likely 20-25ish grams of protein, who knows with total cals. If I'm lucky, it should be right around 1000 cals, so I got what I usually would have wanted, minus some protein. Maybe boost my protein intake a bit tomorrow to help make up.

I feel the same way bro. Lifting is part of many things in my life. I diet pretty well and keep healthy but food is one of my favorite aspects of life and to deny myself a good ddinner with great people is just wrong. Body building to my is going to take a life time so life needs to be enjoyed along the way. I'm talking in strict sense of the fac the I do not compete. Competition is a whole other realm with mad respect from this end.

20 reps - 3 breaths - 5 reps - 3 breaths - 3 reps - 3 breaths - 2 reps - 3 breaths = 30 reps total.


THOUGHTS:

Damn, nice day at the gym today. I just moved up to 110lbs on preachers last B1, so despite having 16 reps last week I wanted to keep the weight the same. Got 18 this week, so perhaps I'll try bumping to 115lbs in 2 weeks' time. Not sure why I got 4 on the second AND third set...felt like I went til failure in set 2, but somehow my 15-breath recovery gave me enough to do another 4. Doesn't seem right for DC, but I guess some days you just get luckier than others lol. Reverse cable curls went up 10lbs every set, and both laying leg curls + seated calf raises did as well. The quad extensions went up 15lbs per set, and DAMN were my legs pumped at the end of that exercises. Didn't even feel like there was any fat on my legs, just felt hard as ****. Widowmaker at the end killed me, great end to a great workout (WMers started at 3 plates on quad extension, so I'm up 35lbs on those while still at the same rep number).

Feeling good. Epi's up to 40mg, but I don't necessarily feel more of an "effect" than I did at 30mg. Or maybe I just can't tell. This is week 5 now, tomorrow's the end of my first Test-E vial, so I'm essentially just about halfway through the cycle, which means the test should be kicking in full force very soon! Will either happen next week (week 6) as I finish off my epi, or will happen week 7 after I'm done with epi. Either way, excited for the possibilities.

Weight gain stalled out a bit. Think it may be because I started the Adex .25mg EOD, meaning that I've been dropping water weight. I think I weighed at 191 on Monday (down a few lbs from the weekend), and was back up to 193.5 today, which is still a half pound short of where I was Saturday morning. Decided to take a bit of a refeed today...I'd like to end the epi dosage on more of a "recomp" diet than a "cutting" diet, and then shred down in the remaining weeks of test only. 3000 cals on-day and 2100 off-day were definitely designed for cutting, so I think I may keep off days at 2300 for the next 2 weeks, but on on-days just make sure I get enough protein (300g), make sure I'm not taking in much fat, and then just not track cals and let myself go with carbohydrates for recovery. Don't worry - I know exactly how much food I've been taking in for 3000 cals, so I promise I'll be eating above that lol.

How is the adex EOD working for you?

[GreenEarth]

Pretty good man. Went down in weight initially (shedding some water), but gained back up to where I was, and then we'll see where I am tomorrow. I bumped cals on off-days, and then on on-days I'm hitting 300g of protein and pretty much getting in as many carbs as I can, because I realized that I'd really like to get as much mass on during my last week of epi + test...it'll be week 5 of epi, so it's fully kicked in and I figured that since I'm at a low enough bf% to see abdominals, why not use my last 4 weeks on test alone for some prime cutting time, whilst using this last week on epi and test to try and procure as much muscle mass as possible.

Only issue is that carbs still bloat me, just in a slightly different way...they "air" me up very quickly on test and epi lol. Feel bloated, but late at night/the next morning I start burping and emitting flatulence, and the "bloat" feel goes away lol. Damn carbs. As far as I know I should be right around 194lbs at the moment...wouldn't mind hitting a solid 200lbs-205lbs before really focusing on the cut, so I may do this last week of epi + test as a clean bulking week with a lot of food, continue that on into week 7 of test, and then use week 8, 9, and 10 to do my serious cutting down of bf% while maintaining gains since I'll be in the sweet spot of test.
