Beastmode=on....first test cycle

Nope it was weird...only when I DL.
 
Today's workout was cardio and abs only. I'm going to try and throw 2 days a week in like this. Cals were a little low today only around 1800. Weight was 217.5 this morning. 12 pounds to go until my goal weight. It's looking doubtful I'm going to get there but I'll still be happy if I can hit 210. Chest and tri's Wednesday.
 
Everything after flat bench was down today. Diet has been around 1800 cals for the last 3 days. So I'm sure that has alot to do with it. But did manage to hit another PR on bench. About a month left on the cut.

Numbers still loo strong bro! How is the cutting treating you?
 
It's going ok. I'm down about 7 pounds in 4 weeks. Which is how I wanted to do it. I didn't want to lose a bunch of weight fast I wanted to take it at about 2 lbs a week. Maintaining size pretty well. Losing BF for sure. My hip bones are starting to pop out a little haha. The only thing I've noticed strength wise is I fatigue faster. My first exercises are strong still but I lose alot of strength after that. (My declines were horrible today) it's nice not having to force feed my self but at the same time I get hungry late At night alot more now so it's kind of a catch 22. Def. been a learning experience so far. I'm gonna get some pics up once I hit 215.

Whenever I cut I'm the same man, I think it's from having F all carbs to fuel the muscle. Don't let it disappoint you tho man when you carb up in sure it'll be back to norm! :)
 
Hit back this morning. Had an awesome gym session. Felt strong as soon as I hit the door. Back and bi's were completely shot when I left. Diets been around 1800-2000 cals all week. Scale hasn't moved but def still losing BF. I noticed last night I can feel/see my lats when I flex now. I've never been able to do that. I have a feeling this cut is really going to take off in the next 3 weeks. One week of FSXR left will give my final review next week. Scale said 217.2 this morning.

Just try to get 350 on a day up feel great even if it oat chest day...no sense in trying to force yourself to max if your body is yelling you no. I think you can definitely ht 350. If you have a spotter have them guide you for that mental relief then whe you are used to that weight hit it by yourself.
 
Thanks bud. I really feel like I can get it. I think I'm gonna try it on a back day again like I did today. I had a spotter and he touched the bar on the 5th rep but said he barely even touched it. We'll see I hope I got it. If I do that'll be 75 pounds I've put on my bench in the last 13 weeks haha.

Hit chest this morning. Been throwing some carbs in the last few days and its been awesome to say the least lol. Brown rice and whole wheat buns for the most part. Forgot what a good pump felt like lol also switched my PWO up a bit. I'm taking 3 FSXR's, I scoop muscle marinade, and 1 scoop jack3d,+ carbs=sick pumps lol. Only two more pins left after today. Pretty sad it's all coming to an end. Here's my chest/tri day.

Thanks bro! Appreciate it. Other than my nuts going on vacation somewhere no real sides for me lol. I've had really small red dots on my chest and back since week 10 but u can't even see them unless your really close. But that's been it as far as sides for me.

Went in today and just didnt feel right. Tried to work on my DL form and just got frustrated. So I think that just set the mood for the rest of the day. Strength wasn't horrible but wasn't that great either. Tried my 350 bench against my better judgement and didnt get it. My spotter said he was barely Helping me but I'm not counting it until I can get it by myself. On a better note though I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 213.9! Haven't seen that in a LONG time!

What is NPP bro, and tbol? Yeah I'm leaning towards winny now was thinking sd. But the winny I'm running now the strength gains are impressive. So will prolly run it again. I gots a little bit to decide.

Npp is nandrolone (deca) with a short ester attached. Good sh1t :) and Tbol is turinabol an oral usually used for kickstart.

This. Except I'm going to be running tbol for 8 weeks so I don't think it's considered a kick start haha. The shorter ester of NPP seems to have fewer sides than Deca. As far as bloat and Deca dick

Calorie deficits will definitely do that to you bro. Food is energy and food makes you bigger :) during pct you need to eat slightly above maintainance to kelp your gains. Just eat clean.

Thank you bro. I appreciate it. I'm gonna write my final post up tonight and ill talk about everything more in depth but yeah pictures are comin.
 
Alright guys pinned my last pin last night and just thought I'd give an overview of my cycle. I started at 215 pounds and ended at 215 pounds. My gains were (gains stopped around week 12 when which was 2 weeks after I started cutting.

55lbs on bench
50 lbs on DL
And a ridiculous amount on squats lol. I think I put 100 pounds on my reps of 5 lol
Went up 25 lbs in DB's on DB shoulder presses
And put at least 30-45 pounds on all pull downs and rows.

If I could have done anything different I would have started with less BF. I feel like I kind of sold myself short by cutting the last 5 weeks. That's all on me though. I HAVE to learn how to cut BF and not just lose weight before my next cycle. (Which is already in the works lol) My diet was extremely clean the whole cycle except for the occasional cheat meal which didnt happen very often. But I still didnt end up as lean as I wanted. A HUGE thanks to you guys. You guys were all a huge inspiration! And a huge help. SO I think the plan is..
1) kill pct
2)bulk through January
3)12 week cut leading up to next cycle.
And be a lean monster and all out bulk next cycle. Going for monster status. Lol I'm def still going to be around supporting the AM fam in everything you guys are accomplishing. I'll try and get pics up before PCT starts but probably won't be updating anything until then. What a ride! Keep killin it bros!

(Which is already in the works lol) My diet was extremely clean the whole cycle except for the occasional cheat meal which didnt happen very often. But I still didnt end up as lean as I wanted. A HUGE thanks to you guys. You guys were all a huge inspiration! And a huge help. SO I think the plan is..
1) kill pct
2)bulk through January
3)12 week cut leading up to next cycle.
And be a lean monster and all out bulk next cycle. Going for monster status. Lol I'm def still going to be around supporting the AM fam in everything you guys are accomplishing. I'll try and get pics up before PCT starts but probably won't be updating anything until then. What a ride! Keep killin it bros!
