Thoughts-
Felt strong as hell today, it was crazy. I was happier with 315 for 2 sets of 8, but I guess I can be pretty happy with 365x3 as well. My appetite has pretty much morphed into an unstoppable machine, I ate a pound of 92/8 ground beef yesterday, half a pound in spaghetti, and the other half in hamburgers. I easily topped 4000 yesterday, all of it clean too. I will try and get a weight update tomorrow or saturday.

Thoughts-
Kept the hamstring workout nice and simple today, and just focused hard on the contraction. I'd have to say it worked pretty well. 640x20 on the leg press on that last set put me outside the gym dry heaving, haha. Good thing I didn't throw up, with intra-workout supplements these days it's some pretty expensive puke.

Arms workout tomorrow will be up kind of late, I have to go to Miami U tomorrow AM to move my sisters into their new house. I love it when people just assume because I'm big that I love carrying furniture around. It's like askin a fat guy to go to a buffet based solely because he's fat, it just ain't right, lol.

Thoughts-
Couldn't get my workout up last night, our cable is out. I'm off today, it's my birthday so I'm gonna go play golf or something today, and I wasn't scheduled to lift anyways, though I wish I was, because I don't have much to do all day.

Moving yesterday wasn't too bad, and afterwards my parents took us all to Qdoba where I ate possibly the most epic burrito of all times, had to have been at least 1500 cals in that guy.

I'm pretty shocked to see I'm up 9.5 pounds, I don't think I've gained so much as an ounce around my middle, I think my midsection is almost a bit sharper than it was two weeks ago. My T-shirts and shorts legs are definately starting to get tighter. Any water retention or 'wetness' from the M14add must be within the muscle for me, because I don't look watery at all.

Still toppin 4k on calories every day. I'm just eating my 6 basic meals plus another meal or two added in at will.

 

[mw1]

does'nt work like that....will try another way

9.5 lbs in 11 days is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a nice little case of food poisioning from something I ate yesterday, so I woke up at 2am today power chucking...got like 4 hours of sleep last night. My appetite is slowly comin back, but it's just gonna be alot of shakes and light stuff today.

That being said, I shoulder pressed 275x4 today, which is a huge PR, and I did it feeling like **** and on no sleep. Pretty psyched about that one.

Should be back to normal by later tonight, and should have a nasty leg day tomorrow.

Wow, this cycle is REDICULOUS :head: I am starting to get sold on completely changing my cycle plans for this winter :think:

Wow, this cycle is REDICULOUS :head: I am starting to get sold on completely changing my cycle plans for this winter :think:

I agree, I have never had anything kick in this fast, or work this well. No sides either, my bp has stayed stable, my libido is crazy, and I'm all kinds of driven in the gym. Oh yea, and my strength, appetite and bodyweight have gone up a tad as well :hump:

Hopefully my appetite comes back strong tomorrow so I can keep packin it on.

Last day of solo M14ADD, tomorrow I'm gonna start 50 mg of P-mag and 100mg of TD formestane. It will be interesting to see how things go from here.

Stomach still feels kinda iffy, I was pretty sure I was gonna yak my entire workout, but hopefully that leg workout brings back my appetite.

 

[celc5]

Formestane takes 1-3 days to "kick in." Just wait brotha, it'll take strength to a new level with your current stack :head:

and you think libido is up now, NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING sends libido through the roof like form

[CompEdgeLabs]

I am going to do the same cycle 90/90/90/90 X-TREN...is this good for cutting.....any recommendations fro my PCL...here is what I plan

I NEED HELP with PROPER ADVICE for.......my first cycle........ I am in fairly good shape. I weigh 176lbs. 5 Ft. 11 inches. I have about 10-11% body fat. I max about 200 on bench. I work out 5-6 days a week and play alot of basketball (3xWEEK). I need advice on a decent starting CYCLE. Here is what i am thinking with my PCT...


PRE CYCLE Two weeks-4 weeks during cycle(than contine the rest of bottle or buy 2?)
CEL CYCLE ASSIST ( 4 caps x 2 a day: 60 total per bottle)

Should I take something else or is this fine

CEL X-tren Solo Cycle
4-weeks at 90 mg day


CEL PCT ASSIST (3 caps x 2 a day: 60 total in bottle)

Do I need two bottles, should I run for 4 weeks? Is there something better product wise?
REMEMBER: I want to stay LEAN and shred hard. Diets in check.......is this enough to take to the next level? I am going to SHUT DOWN HARD?

In order to not clutter up his log, please pm me with any specific questions.

I need your age before could really advise you, but Cycle Assist should be fine to pre-load and use during your cycle.

My personal PCT would be Inhibit-E and Liver Assist XT by SNS along with PCT Assist by us.

I think H-Drol would be a better option than X-Tren for your first cycle.

I dunno if MW told you, but I'm gonna be starting Formestane at the beginning of week 3 tomorrow and I'm gonna pick up another bottle to use into pct, and will probably get supress c as well.

Excellent. I think thats the way to go, and I think you will love Suppress-C. It seems to pretty much lean you out whether you are even trying to or not.

I used the old retain2 during PCT one time and had that effect....so if that happens again I wouldn't complain, lol.

Awesome, not one single side effect so far. The worst I've had is a tight lower back while playin tennis the other night, like the beginning of a back pump, but that is about it.

 

[retroshaper]

Looks great so far! Keep it up man.

Thats pretty much what i said too

I was also fond of Retain2 but i think you will see even better results w/ the Suppress C.

Having the shoulder surgery in the morning....hope the "local pump" works as well as you say Escholar:happysad:

Still feeling great, no sides at all. Started formestane today, I really like the formula, goes on nicely and dries quickly, and has like a faint citrus-y kind of smell. Looking forward to seeing how this new phase of the cycle goes.

Felt great during my back workout today, was really focused the whole time, got a great pump and alot of blood into my back. Day off tomorrow, I might go in and do a little bit of cardio when I wake up, just to get my appetite going for the day.

In other new, I ripped my dress pants at work today at the thigh while sitting down. Competitve Edge Labs owes me a new pair of pants.

[SIZE=+3]229.5lbs[/SIZE]

Bodyweight is up another pound. I need to step up my eating game, so I can keep the weight coming. My appetite is still recovering from being sick earlier this week, but it's starting to get back into full swing, so that shouldn't be a problem.

315x6 on incline is a pretty big PR for me...I was only planning on 4, but I got 4 and wasn't really struggling, and ended up with 6. Wanted to get a video of it, but I forgot my phone at home. I might be deloading a bit for the next 8 day rotation and going a little higher on the reps, my joints have been taking a pounding lately...I'll see how I feel.

Weekend is kinda hectic, with moving from my old place to my uncles while I'm in-between places for 2 weeks. Good news is that I will be at home all next week, which means free groceries and an actual nice kitchen to cook in. Should make for good eating all week.

Workout today was good, SLDL's really took it outta me, I was pretty much zombie-like the rest of the workout. Arms tomorrow after I'm done moving.

Off tomorrow, might go for a bike ride in the morning, maybe some golf in the afternoon. Will be eating all day for sure.

Thanks man, I'd like to be up 18-20 by the time everything is done with. I'm not one of those ppl that declare a cycle unsuccessful if they don't gain x pounds though, it's all about how I look. Which right now is alot larger than two weeks ago without much fat gain, which means I'm happy. :afro:

 

[LiveWire224]

Okay all caught up(vacation all last week).

Log looks real sweet bro, real sweet.

Impressive gains, keep growing. Congrats on breaking thru 230lbs !!!

I hear ya on the "free" groceries, my Rents travel alot so I house sit for them and eat like a KING, lol

And make sure you get some new slacks, lol, that's was a funny post.

What are your thoughts on the Dymatize protein supps?? Thinking of scooping some up.

Yea, I've been eating like a king so far, all the grilled meat and veggies I can handle, no crappy foreman food. If my parents don't kill me for eating all their food, it should be a good week.

I like the dymatize elite whey quite a bit, great blend, great taste, great price. I finally ventured out of my comfort zone and picked up some XF whey in the whey cheap sale, so I'm lookin forward to tryin that.

I am gonna back off the weight for this 8 day rotation, I've been throwing around weight like it's nothin for 3 weeks and I need to back off before I start messin up my joints. I will still be 100% on the intensity, just less weight.

Still feeling great, been eating my face off still, I think my parents are about to throw me out. It's been like a damn food network show around here, the food has been excellent, I love havin an actual kitchen to cook in.

Went for a little swim after my workout today. All I can say is **** that stuff, I'm not very buoyant these days. I will stick to my elliptical and tennis every now and then, haha.

 

[UnrealMachine]

Damn nice workout, that's some strong ass shoulder pressing man

I hear ya on the swimming... sinking even with a full breath of air means its damn hard to swim, and my muscles are conditioned for <10 reps so they're soooo inefficient for swimming, they burn through oxygen like an SUV burns through gas and it leaves me gasping for breath after a couple laps. lol. Swimming is hard if you're big but have no bodyfat to float you.

Damn nice workout, that's some strong ass shoulder pressing man

I hear ya on the swimming... sinking even with a full breath of air means its damn hard to swim, and my muscles are conditioned for <10 reps so they're soooo inefficient for swimming, they burn through oxygen like an SUV burns through gas and it leaves me gasping for breath after a couple laps. lol. Swimming is hard if you're big but have no bodyfat to float you.

Thanks, I used to not try to go too heavy on overhead stuff, but in the last 2 months I've really tried to pile on the weight and get stronger, and my shoulder growth has pretty much exploded. I hit 275 for 3 or 4 last shoulder workout, and I want to get 315 at some point in the near future.

Swimming was awful, I hear what you are saying about havin muscles geared toward anerobic activity, just like when I went biking the other day and I could do quick sprints and get up to 30mph or so, but after a few my quads were so pumped I could barely move.

On the plus side, the cold water felt awesome on my tired muscles.

Had to fight through some back pumps today, but all in all it wasn't all that bad. I did however spend a good 10 min laying on the floor when the workout was over, just to get the gym to stop spinning and to keep my breakfast down, haha. The superset was also pretty awful, but worth it. The only reason I had back pumps is because I left my taurine in columbus. oops.

As soon as the exhaustion and nausea passes, I'm pretty sure I will be spending the rest of the day eating my face off. The back pumps today were really the first negative side I've experienced. Last week of M14add, I'm gonna miss it...but I'm looking forward to how P-mag feels solo.

Workouts and cycle looks amazing man, can't waite to see pics.

Personally I love swimming. Nothing better for a good full body cardio workout. Of course, I have swam my whole life and played water polo for the + side of 6 years so I am a bit biased, but it can definitely feel amazing for stretching back out and awesome for cooling muscles down.

Thoughts-

Weight seems to keep piling on no matter what I do, haha. I kinda slacked off on eating the last two days because I've been rediculously gassy, which has made it hard to eat (and be in the same room with me). I picked up some digestive enzymes/probiotics at walmart, and it seems to be helping quite a bit. Good thing too, it was pretty toxic for awhile there.

Still feeling great, I backed off again on the weight today and did a few more reps, which led to a pretty insane pump. I'm off tomorrow, and then really looking forward to saturday, because I will be in the akron/cleveland area and will be training at the Bodybuilders Inc. gym in northern akron. After the last two days of training in my hometown with no one under the age of 40 and less than 30% bodyfat, it will be a nice change.

Lifted at the Bodybuilder's Inc. gym in akron today. That place was voted in the top 10 of america's most hardcore gyms for a reason. Great equipment, and a perfect hardcore atmosphere. First gym I've ever been to that actually catered to bodybuilders, I loved it and definately will be goin back.

As far as the cycle goes, still feelin great, weight keeps comin, and all my clothes are gettin tighter in the shoulders and legs, which has to be a good sign. 2.5 more weeks still to go yet, I'm looking forward to seeing how the P-mag works on it's own, I'm hoping between that and the formestane it hardens me up a bit, but we'll see.
