How your lower back is feeling?
Still bugging me, right on the tailbone. I'm taking Ibuprofen though so hopefully it gets better soon

I'm still having problems with my lower back but am over the nausea from the bug I caught. I will post a progress pic for lifted67 this evening.
Bro You might need to rest that lower back.

mmorso, I had the same problem with the lower back issues.. My road to Recovery was IcyHot, Ibuprofen, and Rest..Damn... Back's a lil tighter this morning. Being a newbie and a douche bag, being chest day, being that the bench press is my favorite exercise because I'm a douche-bag newbie, I must put one foot in front of the other and press on...
Today lifting will be like prison rape: I'll just close my eyes and power though it.
I'm going to start rubbing Dermastrength UL on my lower back and see what happens. lifted, you should hook a brother up with that Androcrine... Beast has sold me on it reading his logs.
Keep an eye out for more logging ops, atm I only have 2 bottles in my personal stash or I would.Damn... Back's a lil tighter this morning.

Damn bro, that weight is coming down quick lately. You been doing waist measures too? Cant remember sorry...
I will only say what Id be inclined to do.
Whether I continued to cut or not would depend on a few things. Firstly, how close I am to my goal bodyfat. Secondly, how much lean tissue do I suppose I am liable to sacrifice if I continue to cut.
So, if Im still not quite where I want to be bodyfat-wise, how adamantly do I want to be there before I start reversing out of my cut?
Well I'm pretty far from my BF goal, but I'm thinking that I might benefit from slowing down fat loss to let my skin adjust.. Hopefully, I'll drop another 8-10 lbs in the next 3 weeks running Sup3r-11... at least that's the goal. So 20 lbs of BF in 8 weeks would be a great achievement.
I guess a general question would be: how effective or efficient would it be for someone to oscillate between periods of cutting and bulking while using Prohormones on both cycles? Say I finish this cycle and in 12 weeks run Sup3r-1&4, then run Sup3r-11 12 weeks later... Would I just lose the LBM I gained on 1&4andro? Would it boil down to diet and training? Should the cycles be spread further apart? Lol sorry for the borage of questions bro
Oh yeah, forgot to ask about health too.. Would it also fck my liver and balls up running PHs that frequently
Maybe slowly start reverse-dieting? I think that may be 'safer' than treating your diet as a black-or-white bulk-or-cut type of thing. If you start to slowly up the kcals, its not like you will be immediately be hitting bulking kcals off the bat. Like you implied, youd be sort of easing the brakes on the cut.
With cycling, depending what compound(s) you are taking, I think the bigger concern is lipids and heart/artery health. Especially over the longterm.
My philosophy is to limit cycles to only 2 per year, around 8-12 weeks each, and make those fukers count. Id do 1 'bulking' or recomping cycle, and 1 'cutting' cycle. Limiting cycles to 2 per year is what Id consider a compromise between wanting to run hormonals whilst minimising the negative impact on health (lipids, etc). Any more than 2 cycles per year and I personally think the body is potentially spending too much time with undesirable lipid levels.
I think it advantageous to be strategic with your cycles and plan long term. Lots of guys jump from cycle to cycle with little consideration for the long term picture. I mean sure, we all like to leave a little room for spontaneity and stuff just coming up, but Im talking having a longterm (ie 6mnths+) general plan and set of goals. A strategy: I want to be there, so how do I get to there from here whilst operating within the parameters Ive set for myself?
I'm considering using MK677 to try and both tighten up loose skin and help with my shoulder, rather than jump into a PH cycle this fall. So, I might continue eating in a deficit while running the Folli/Dermastrength stack and then run MK with PA right after, reverse dieting at that point. How's that sound?
Sounds good. I think youd be increasing kcals at the right time (at least in terms of the compounds you will be using, as MK and PA are notorious for increasing appetite). The folli may also increase appetite, but as you know these type of variables are never certainties.
Have you had a chiro look your back over?
Sometimes those cheat carbs kick your metabolism back into overdrive!
Bet your muscles look insane after too.I always do a +1000kcal weekly refeed during my cuts. High carb, low protein and fat. I basically dump a couple containers of Arctic Zero in a bowl with PB Powder, SF Chocolate Syrup, and Ready Whip. Follow that with half a bag of Pretzels or Carmel/Choc Rice Cakes. For me, I seem to get a higher Thermic Effect from carbs, than I do protein... even though it's supposed to be the other way around - I sweat buckets with carbs.
Day 43. So far I'm down 12.4 lbs and got 17 days to go. I wanna get down to 155 by then, which I think is a reasonable goal.
2lbs a week is a good target for maintaining LBM while losing fat. I generally average 1.5 at age 48, with expected natural progression increases in strength 2.5 years into training. Unless on Ostarine, then progression is a lot more, as I seem to respond well to it. What do your tape measure/caliper readings look like? Has strength increased, maintained, or dropped? Trying to figure out what the Super-11 is doing, as 2lbs a week is fairly normal and i was thinking of adding it on my next cut.
Day 49. Weight 166.4. Active rest day: 30 min fasted AM walk; 20 min ab routine; 40 min PM walk (later).
My skin sucks bros!!! I got some new pink stretch marks on the outside on my pecs, into my armpits... WTF? I tapped the brakes on this cut to let my skin tighten up cause my stomach looks like a deflated balloon.
Anyway, my muscles are feeling fuller now that I'm replacing some glycogen. The LGD and Epi should get here tomorrow and I'm looking forward to running it, although I gotta admit, I'm slightly intimidated. YoungBodyBuil has help me tremendously with setting up this cycle and the PCT, and has schooled me quite a bit on it all so I'm in good hands..
I'm going to take photos and measurements tomorrow prior to starting the LGD.
You know you can text or call me at anytime
If you need some help.
