Sucks about the shoulder RR. I had to throw in the towel on flat bench, it irritates the ever living hell out of my left rotator. Maybe they'll heal up if we treat em real nice haha.

Hurt my rotator real bad about a year ago. Couldnt do flatbench with 10lb dumbbells it hurt so bad. All healed up now though, just a reminder to not lift like a jacknob and stretch real good. My buddy however hurt his 1 year ago and it still hasnt recovered. Hes going for surgery this week finally. Better to be safe then sorry in my opinion!

I have a herniated disc in my back. Wanna talk about pain. I can't squat anymore. Not really supposed to work quads at all, but I refuse to be one of those guys who only works upper body and you can flick his legs and break them...

Here is a couple pics I took tonight. It is a little hard getting the same look as the pics before because I got a new phone over the weekend and the pics react a little different to the lighting. That is why I tried moving front and back to find a good spot for the picture. Anyways, I'm pretty proud of the water I've dropped and looking bigger too. Open to any comments good or bad on what you guys think. Sitting at around 178 right now

Def a completely different color tone. The same thing happened to me in my thread. Other then that, being plus 13 pounds your looking fantastic for gaining that much weight in this short of a timeframe. The only thing i notice is the bottom abs are slowly fading a bit from your avatar, but as long as you dont go too nuts and bulk to say 185-190 im sure it will be fine. Also the trans made me carry a ton of water so theres that too.
On a side note, ur arms are huge bro. Ever measured those guns?

That's mean gains. You not dancing in a diaper lol!
Also, what was BP like for you on cycle? Numbers wise. Im trying to get avgs. Last time I ran I went up as high as 120/60... haah. But yesterday I was 154/87ish... and I am not running ANYTHING. (well Resvertisol, stinging nettle, and in the morning i take BPS combustion a 1,3 dime product, but I took my BP around 7 hours after I dosed the Combustion).

I agree with you man. The lower abs are not near as visible as they were. Ive gained some bodyfat, and best I can tell I am over 9% now, probably closer to 9.5%. I dont think that is too bad considering Ive gained 13 lbs to gain only 1-1.5% bf. It will be much easier to tell where I am at once I come off of cycle to accurately assess bodyfat when water and glycogen return to normal levels.
As for the guns....I appreciate the compliment! I started the cycle with them measuring just over 16" around cold flexed, and they now measure just over 16.5" cold flexed, so a half inch gain on this cycle aint too shabby I dont think. My arms have always been my best and easiest growing on my body
Thanks bro!
I never had any BP issues outside of the first couple days on Diesel. Other than that Ive been fine at normal

Thanks gentlemen! The true test and sign of a successful cycle is at the end of PCT when it shows what you retained....so hopefully I can keep the majority of this LBM gain without gaining more bodyfat in the process. I will have to do some calorie adjusting, but I think I have a good plan

CYCLE DAY 31
I had a pretty good workout today. Had some big pumps and was looking big, full, and vascular. My shoulder felt a little better today, but is still sore. I probably will skip tomorrows planned shoulder and leg workout for a couple reasons...it will give my shoulder an extra day of healing and I could use another burn day to clean up some more.

CYCLE DAY 32
Doing a burn day like planned. Shoulder feels much better and I think this extra day will really help before hitting it tomorrow. Cal's will be in check today to clean up some more. Probably will end up around 2k or so for the day.
Cardio was elliptical for 30 minutes @ 415 Cal burn...:run:

Yeh I cant complain about doing that. I think these final two weeks of the cycle,I am dropping cals a bit since gains have pretty much fell off. I will take advantage of the chance to really clean it up here at the finish.
Thanks a lot Turning Green. I am hoping that I do look better once the water falls off.
Nice update! Cardio is good
I actually do love cardio. Maybe I'm crazy, but I enjoy the hell out of it!
Glad to have you bro! Thanks for the compliment!
My estrogen levels will probably be very low entering PCT. As a result, Formastanozol will not be used at least until the start of week 3 of PCT more than likely. My SERM I usually take first thing in the morning. I always take it fasted (no food) with just fish oil and BCAAs.
Well my shoulder feels pretty good right now, and I'm about to go put it to the test. Its a shoulder/Leg workout today, so hopefully things go decent. I'm not planning on pushing too hard or breaking any records today. I'm just going to ease into it and try to get a good workout in on shoulders. Legs I may push a little bit though. I will update later on how it all went

CYCLE DAY 33
Today's shoulder and leg workout actually went better than I expected it to. Shoulder felt great with no problems, and I pushed more reps without even trying to. Strength was very good on legs too. I felt awesome in the gym and didn't want to leave. Cissus and fish oil must be doing its thing, because I have zero joint pain right now even at 60mg EPI. Right now with no sides I feel like I could run this sh1t forever....I love EPI!!!:sgrin:

CYCLE DAY 34
Cardio/burn day. I think I'm cleaning up pretty good and I may end up shedding a half percent of bodyfat in these last couple weeks from the looks of it. It should put me closer to 9% by the end of next week if I'm guessing right.
Diet will be around 2k or so today. Fast breaker will be about 14 oz of chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and rice with a slice of layne Norton cheesecake and 2 scoops of whey. I'm thinking tonight's meal will be an awesome Italian sub with several different meats on it :food:
Today's cardio was 30 minutes treadmill for a 350 Cal burn. Mostly incline walking @15% incline (3.5 MPH) with about 10 minutes jogging at 5% incline (6 MPH):run:

I wish I knew, and I wish I could bottle it up and sell it because I wouldnt be able to keep it in stock. After cardio I feel very Euphoric!!
CYCLE DAY 36
I cleaned it up this weekend and kept the cals down. I look leaner and drier, so everything has went well. Weight dropped a tad, which is probably expected. Im around 176.5 this morning. I expect that weight will go back up some after a good carb up. My plan to clean up and lean out some these final 2 weeks seems to be working well. My only concern with it would be that once coming off cycle my weight could drop too low for the contest. I will keep an eye on that this week, but cals will be going up when i enter PCT in a week or so and remain higher intil after the 1st of the year or so.
heading in for a good chest workout hopefully today. I think i am going to stay away from Flat bench to avoid aggravating the shoulder. i will be back to update later...

Yeh bro I know. The main thing I changed was my weekends. They got real loose for a while and things got a tad sloppy. I tightened it up a lot there. Build days remain high as they were. Cutting carbs down to 75g per day or so over this weekend helped a lot while keeping Cal's in the 2k range. I will be eating a lot today and I expect weight will go back up.
Cal's will be kept higher (even rest days) through PCT
My injury if you want to call it that is recent (this cycle). I really have been trying to keep it from getting too bad, but it definitely holds my bench and incline back.

I feel you bro I really do. I just started my Ahtletix stack log and did 205 on incline bench. However I could feel my right shoulder popping again. I believe I could hit 300-350 on bench again if it weren't for my shoulder. Hope yours gets better soon bro.

Rick I had the same thing happen on my tren run, my elbow is in bad shape cause I ignored it. That said, I had some shoulder irritation this summer and was able to rehab it very quickly and hit PRs on incline and decline bench.

Yeh I'm just going to have to take it easier on that shoulder and maybe drop the weight down and just do higher reps for a while. That should help things out quite a bit.

Today's workout was definitely affected a little from the shoulder, and the only thing I could push 100% on was DB flat bench. Those don't seem to bother my shoulder at all, so I did set a PR on those. Everything else I held decent ground but didn't push it.
