Hit Chest and a little bit of tri's this morning. Felt pretty full in the gym this morning but I think it's probably from all the carbs this weekend. Had cheat meals Saturday and Sunday. Back on the grind today though and will probably be another 2-3 weeks before another cheat day.

*note* I'm starting to get a lot of very small red bumps on my chest. In assuming its just like acne from the test just surprised it took almost 11 weeks to get it. Maybe from the dirty food Saturday? Either way they itch like crazy.

Sick chest work out bro. Definitely something I would do. I like that you're incorporating decline bb. IMO best mass builder for chest.

Strong numbers too!

Thanks bro. I'm a huge fan of declines. Pretty underrated IMO. I feel it in my chest/shoulders and Lats the next day. I always start out with the intentions on having volume days but end up working my way up a heavy day lol never fails. I just wanna lift heavy stuff I can't help it haha

That is weird as fuk man. Maybe its the low carbs haha. Mine started popping up maybe a week and a half ago but have gotten progressively worse over the last 3-5 days. You can't really see em unless your close though.

Definitely more for mass and shaping over power. You flat bench so much that I bet you ca decline press a sh*t ton and your chest would explode with more size ( hard to believe bc your chest is already so massive lol)

Upped the FSXR to 1 pill with breakfast and 2 in the after noon. Weigh in on Friday. I think I decided to stay around 2500 Cals on gym
Days and 2200 on off days. But up my carbs on both by 25-30 which will still keep me well under 100 a day. And refeed at 175 once a week. Probably the day before squats. I've said it about 5 times in this thread but I'm going to say it again...I love test lol..nothing like hitting PR's on a carb/calorie deficit. My next cycle my BF is going to be low enough I can do an all out bulk and not worry about gaining BF. 6.5 months away though

Honestly I just love the fact that I'm on a huge calorie deficit and haven't lost any muscle. Actually gaining a little. That's why I've never cut before because everytime I started I would lose so much muscle mass in the first 2-3 weeks I would just stop cutting. Curious to see how the next 5 weeks go.

Pretty damn fine macros bro I haven't even been keeping track lol I just know in my head what's what since I eat the same stuff mostly and use to track it for years so once in awhile I'll do the math in my head then actually do it on my app and I'm always insanely close
 
Thank you bro. It's second nature anymore lol first thing I do everyday is plan my meals out and enter them in lol
 
Strength was through the roof for me today. Hit PR's on almost everything I touched. Felt awesome. Chest was toast at the end couldn't even crank out that many push ups haha. Ran into a buddy I haven't seen for a few months and he was like OMG man I can't believe how much bigger/leaner you look. So I was feeling pretty confident. Weighed 217.8 yesterday morning Down about 9 pounds which is about 3 pounds a week since I started cutting. Which is about exactly how I wanted to hit it so I dont lose too fast and lose muscle mass along with bf. so after three weeks strength is up weight is down I think I'm doing this right so far haha. Snapped a picture real quick before I left the gym.

Sh*tty days are going to come around bro, on steroids or not. I've read some good articles on how to train on these days. Keep your work outs short but heavy. For example it's chest day and you feel like crap, try doing 6 sets of 2 reps on the flat bench nice and heavy to ts a weight you can only press 2 times. Try the same for one more chest lift of your choice and honestly sh*tty day it not that seems like Good work out. Going heavy with extremely low reps doesn't require the muscle endurance or energy needed to high reps with high intensity. Adapt to your moods and how our body feels and the gains will really shine no matter what kind of day you have.

Thank you man. It's crazy I'm about the exact weight I was when I started my cycle but feel twice as big lol. And yeah 330 is awesome for me. That puts my at a 55 pound gain on bench during this cycle. I'd like to hit 350 by the end. But I realize on this cut it's kinda unlikely haha. I can sure as hell try though! 3 more weeks of injections so we'll see

Thanks for the suggestion broseph. I'll give it a try sometime. I do love lifting heavy! I got everything done I wanted to today just didn't wanna be there at all! Which isn't like me at all. I usually only leave because I have to go to work haha
