Pop's first log on AM and a walk on the darkside

[Pops23]

What's up everyone I have been reading AM for years and I finally joined.

My stats
Hgt 5'8
Weight fluctuates between 210-220
I cut and compete at 198

Bench;345
Squat;505(with wraps)
Deadlift;535

I am going to be doing my first cycle. I have done multiple ph's in the past but never went to the dark side completely.

Sustanon 500 mgs weeks 1-15
Msten weeks 1-4
Epiandro(hardening effect) weeks 11-15

I will take exemstane as my ai and tudca for my msten run. Pct will be clomid and torem.

I am looking to recomp adding lean muscle mass while cutting fat.

I was using carb back loading but I reached a plateau and decided that eating clean on the Renaissance diet will help me achieve my goals a lot better.

I will be doing .7 Monday
.7 Wednesday
.6 Friday to make it 500 mgs and I take advantage of the short esters

While I want to recomp I am looking forward to increased recovery. Powerlifting on top of my physical labor job runs down my body sometimes too quickly.

I have 30 days of mk677 that I will run and add for another two months following my cycle stacking with my pct.

I will also be using a peptide called sgh107. Looking forward to this already.

I have been doing Sheiko but I think I will go back to the Ed Coan routine which incorporates more accessory work which I do whenever I'm running a prohormone cycle.

Again thanks for reading and looking forward to this log!

 

[unreal89]

Looks good and welcome to AM.

 

[LeanEngineer]

Awesome! In on this and welcome to AM!

 

[jakz]

Sust!!! good choice man

 

[Pops23]

Thank you all! I'm starting my msten today and sus a week from Monday. Appreciate the warm welcome!

 

[jakz]

I take it it's sust 250? I would love to log some training and cycles here, but I'll stick with it for a day, get bored and leave it :lol:

 

[Pops23]

Yes Sustanon 250, I'll look here soon what the breakdown is

 

[jakz]

I will try the 250 next time. Currently using 325. It's a litteral, pain in the ass.

 

[Pops23]

Bhahahahha I can imagine that's the prop

 

[jakz]

Oyes. I was using prop on my last cycle as a kickstart and it didn't hurt as much though.

 

[Pops23]

Righteous. I can't wait. I may do 1 ml today and just start it

 

[Pops23]

Today with the back pumps from the msten I was only able to do sets of 4 with 225! Agonizing and I have only been on for 6 days or so

Leg press
600x 3 sets of 10
Calf extensions as well

Leg curls

[UncleSarm]

Some call it the dark side; some of us call it the path that rocks.

 

[Pops23]

First pin went in last night and.... It went amazing! Amazingly bad lololololol

Went too far inward on glute. Didn't feel good, felt like a nerve or something. Aspirated and blood came out!*

[medinacirilo]

Press day

My shoulders were popping and my biceps have a vein popping out of the front head BEFORE my workout

It's Sunday morning, my waist is slimmer, my abs are starting to show and my traps are bigger than they have ever been.

I was finally able to get a pin in my glute and it is sooo much better than my quads

Ohp
165x7
165x7

Standing Arnold press
55x10x3

Concentration curls, reverse curls, hammer curls

Honestly thought my forearms and biceps were going to explode! This week the msten will really shine. I'm looking forward to it. And deca is on the way. Once I get the deca I'll start running my exemstane.

 

[unreal89]

Do you have caber for deca also incase?

 

[Pops23]

I very well easily can. Also Prami as well

 

[LeanEngineer]

Solid workouts in here man! I've never done standing Arnold press but I do seated Arnold press almost every shoulder workout.

 

[Pops23]

Honestly I couldn't get an incline db press going because of the amount of ppl so I just substituted it.

 

[Pops23]

Squat day

My muscles are noticeably bigger. My V is more pronounced and also somehow I seem to be losing fat in my midsection.*

Since I'm adding Deca I really don't want to blow up so I have decided to do conditioning in between sets. I workout early enough that there isn't a ton of ppl and I can be that douche bag*

Squat
370x5
185 sled pull back and forth

370x6
205 sled pull back and forth

370x5

RDLs

Leg press x calf extensions
By this time my legs were so incredibly pumped it was nuts!

425x15x3

Starting the deca today. I attribute all my gains so far to the epiandro and msten. The test I feel hasn't fully kicked in yet. The prop is helping me lean out a bit, but the size is definitely coming from the msten. The hardness of my muscles is definitely the epiandro.

 

[Pops23]

Wow so today things went great

Although the hypoglycemia caused by the mk677 post workout wasn't great the workout was awesome

My muscles feel like there is a constant pump. I have gained size all over. MY TRAPS O LAAAAWWWRRDDDY THOSE TRAPS. Seriously though my traps are nuts. My libido is insane. Everything is going great. My package got lost (mailman put it in the wrong mail box LOLOLOL) but I was able to finally get my deca with no problems. I'm starting that in a few hours.*

I added the mk677 because I realized since I am going to be doing two cycles a year one will be bulk the other will be a cutting. This is my bulk. I am eating like a mad man. I will be getting more soon and also prami for possible prolactin sides.

Bench day

Bench press
275x10
275x7
275x5

Close grip Bench

Tricep pushdowns
maxxed out the machine for 3 sets of 12


Dips
By this time I thought I was going to pop out of my skin
bw for 3 sets of 8

 

[Pops23]

First off I am coming into my third week of msten + epiandro ( still undecided if I want to drop them or not)
Second week of sustanon
going into my second week of deca
going into second week of mk677
I was told hgh with a cycle is a must apparently
I don't have an extra grand per month nor do I have my diet
dialed in perfectly so mk is taking its place lolol

I have gone from 216-235.4 lbs bodyweight

My muscles are legitimately hard as rocks
No noticeable belly fat increases. I don't have abs and didn't before but I didn't acquire a gut.*
Libido is nuts
My traps are swollen constantly

sides
the back pumps are tremendously horrible
...........
I don't know what else YET. Is this where I am supposed to say how they have ruined me? My ZZZZ will never work again? Horrible acne? I almost murdered someone for no reason due to the tremendous amount of rage I have boiling thru me nonstop?

The stigma's I thought were partially true haven't came even close YET again I reiterate it due to it being so early. Time will tell but It's looking promising.*

Deadlift day

Super terrible hence why I am questioning on whether or not to drop the prohormones


deads
Wanted 405 two sets of 5 Beltless. Should have been easy and nothing considering my beltless rep pr is 475 for 3 and 405 feels like 315 for me. It was a struggle. My back was starting to feel it first off while I was loading up the bar.

I did the ten reps but the most I did in a row was three because the pumps were horrific.*

Didn't even attempt bentover bbell rows. Did one set of RDL's for 315 for four reps but again my back couldn't hang. Mind you I have a physical job to attend to after this.

Chinups
two sets of 8 reps

DB rows
65x 6 sets of 10 reps

Holy moly my traps and upper back was pumped!

Lat pulldowns

3 x 10


Press day

Standing OHP
165x10x2

Woah woah what? Never Have I been able to rep this over five. Let alone for ten solid reps back to back.

Speed bench
My speed bench consists of fast negative very long pauses around five seconds and exploding off my chest
225x10

waay to easy

245x10

Felt Like I could have done 275 for 20 strength felt beyond on point

Incline dumbbell press
105x7x3

what what lolololol wasn't expecting this at all!*

Concentration curls
75x 144 reps

 

[saywutrly]

In for this one. Love that Sust!! I'm about a month in on my first Sust cycle. Since nobody has thrown it out there yet, I always remedy back pumps to a degree by adding 10g of taurine PWO. You can get a big bulk bag of it dirt cheap.

Enjoy the cycle, bro, and welcome to AM!

 

[saywutrly]

P.S. daaammmnnnn so happy that the wrong person didn't open the package containing your Deca before realizing it wasn't theirs!! USPS has nearly given me so many heart attacks both in this game and some other games in which I've taken part in my life.

 

[Pops23]

Lol right?! Thanks man! I'll look into it!

 

[saywutrly]

You're welcome! I use the taurine as a staple supp, actually. 5g goes into my morning shake or juice (depending on my diet plan at the time) even when I'm not on cycle.

I'll be following your Deca results closely as that compound interests me quite a bit for my next cycle which will be my winter bulk.

 

[Pops23]

Sounds good Bro!

 

[Pops23]

Ok so sorry about my break

So far my upper body exercises keep going up but deadlifts and squats are suffering.*

It was supposed to be deadlift day

I will say though earlier in the week I hit 295 for 8 reps and 2 sets on bench. Also 170 on OHP for 2x8 as well

Deadlifts
425x1,2,1,2,1

Jesus the back pumps were so screwed I had to stop after each set and stretch out.

I'm three days done with the orals but I guess it's still in my system.*

Pull ups
2x8

Lat pulldowns
5x8

Kroc Rows
140x5
140x5
145x5

[medinacirilo]

Been wondering about this!

 

[Pops23]

Looking forward to next week man when the half life wears off and no more back pumps. I'm at 245, from 215 lololol! Nuts

 

[Pops23]

Press day

Strict OHP
185x6
185x5
185x4

Speed paused bench
245x10
245x12

Damn I'm thinking that the exemstane is killing my shoulders. I'm switching to e3d along with Prami. Btw Prami is nooooo joke! I took .25 mgs before bed I felt like I was sea sick and tired as heck. But hey no milk will br coming out of my pecs so it's ok

Incline db press
105x6
105x6

Skipped shoulder raises couldn't hang today. My water retention is leaving and my back pumps are getting better. Looking forward to next week.

 

[Pops23]

Prepare for a story! This last week of workouts! Here we go

First off I switched my training time to early in the morning due to the new job

I'm back in steel and the place while it isn't a foundry, steel perpetuates whatever temperature it is. If it's eight five outside its 90 something inside. If its 40 its below freezing inside etc. I have been drying out.

Squat day

My back pumps are finally pretty much gone! So effin freeing its crazy. Honestly after this cycle I probably won't run another oral compound again. So many sides its crazy.

Squats
415x5

DEADLIFT DAY

HOLY MOLY, SOMEBODY CAN PULL AGAIN!!!!

Back pumps have fully ceased and honestly I probably will never take another prohormone again and stick to oils. The sides are so much worst. For me that is, my buddy runs msten at 30 mgs all the way thru like its nothing. My other buddy runs SD at 30. Honestly I couldn't function on 20 mgs of msten

Even with the lack of back pumps my pulls weren't favorable until my last set when I fully corrected my form. I am back down to around 235 with no water weight. With the new job I have been sweating like no other. All the while every part of my body has grown. My leverages have fully changed and nothing felt right until I realized how I needed to be at the last set. Wider stance, wider grip, feet pointed a little more out

Deadlift
425x1,2,2,2,3

Stiff legged deadlifts
225x10

bentover bbell row
