Had an awesome pump today. Best ive had since i started. Had to cut it a little short...apparently another little kid tried to take my sons (21 months) fruit snacks in the daycare so he decided to bust his skull lol...I guess he doesnt like to share his fruit snacks, but then again who does. So I have to go back tonight after work and hit a midnight cardio session
diet today is 2755 Cals 94f/65c/420p...

Thanks man. I've Ben hittin PR's almost everytime I walk into the gym for like the last 5 weeks. I love test lol.
I forgot to mention earlier I decided to add an extra 2 weeks of injections to my cycle. So now I'm injecting 1-14 starting pct at the beginning of week 17. So I have like 5.5 more weeks of injections and 7.5 more weeks of being "on". I figured since I'll have extra test left over I figure I might as well see if I can sustain/gain some muscle on a cut. You know for science of course...

I actually feel great. I got my estro Under control now. Which i didnt think I was having any sides from my eatrogen being that high but i can tell a huge difference in my energy now. Espiecially in the mornings. My nuts are def. shrinkin up though. Im just a little worried because I've read horror stories about HCG having serious estro sides. I guess I could bump my AI up a little. Any thoughts?

Danb2285 said:
The hcg estro sides come from guys that blast 2500iu every few days. That is stupid and pointless. Dose it at 250iu 2x a week for 3-4 weeks and you will be fine. Give yourself a few weeks between your last hcg injection and pct. Remember HCG is suppressive in nature and long use can desensitize your LH and FSH function.... HCG won't make your balls bigger or anything. It will just get them ready and more receptive to LH and FSH stimulation that comes in pct.

Thanks DD I'll must have been misinformed I always understood the hcg fooled your testicles into trying to produce natural test = keeping them from atrophy.
Woke up this morning went in and did 30 mins fasted cardio. Scale read 222.7 this morning. Diet today is 2150 Cals 63g fat 50 carbs 350 p all carbs from Greek yogurt almonds and protein shakes.

No problem man. It wont make them bigger but it will make them pop back fast as hell in PCT. HCG is misunderstood and I have seen alot of broscience talk on here about it. The biggest thing to understand is that it keeps your balls sensitive to LH and FSH function and true stimulation of LH and FSH is in PCT with a SERM.
Its like letting your car sit for 16 weeks. If around week 8 ish you start it up and let it run for 45 minutes then at the end of week 16 it is more likely to start smooth, unlike if you let it sit for 16 weeks straight. Thats the best analogy I can think of lol

Def. found my new favorite pre workout combo 1 far smack and 1 scoop of muscle marinade. I'll update later with diet for today. Scale said 220.5 this morning. Down about 4 pounds this week.

Thanks bro. I'm taking liquid adex. I was taking .5 E3D but I upped it to .5 EOD. Just because I was starting to feel a little lethargic especially in the mornings. So far it's worked awesome for me. The libido thing isn't a huge deal I don't mind toning it down a little to be honest lol way too much effort has been going in to gettin laid lately lol

Strange enough so is mine. I have a strong libido but test completely killed it. It's probably the Adex...

Danb2285 said:
I kept it at 0.5 mg every 36 hrs. The bloat and sensitive nips worried me too much at 0.25 mg
It's the last time I run Adex. When I can get a hold of some legit aromasin I will give that a try in the future.

That sucks its not workin for ya. Keeping your estrogen down though isn't it? It's so weird how different people react to things. AI's seem to be hit or miss. I've read a lot of reviews about one person claiming a sources AI is bunk then 5 ppl say it worked awesome for them. I wonder if your E2 is TOO low and that's why it's crushing your libido

Danb2285 said:
That's what I am thinking...my joints are dry as hell too. Other than that it is doing its job so I am grateful. My aromasin was bunk so I didn't want to mess around while on cycle and stayed with the Adex. I'll take a drop in libido for avoiding man Tits

LTL gave me some great cardio advice because I HAtE cardio!
Since you are trying to lean out do 20 min of the steepest incline treadmill at a brisk walking Pace...for me that's about 3.8 mph after lifting. You will sh*t the fat off.
