totally impressed with your results Flex!, One thing I have noticed with GH was the increase in Pumps, I did sleep real well, sometimes to well, I would for about 3-4 hours and wake up feeling like i slept for about 9-10...
Dont be impressed yet. I still have 2.5 weeks on the Trifecta!totally impressed with your results Flex!, One thing I have noticed with GH was the increase in Pumps, I did sleep real well, sometimes to well, I would for about 3-4 hours and wake up feeling like i slept for about 9-10...
I'll try.Good stuff in here Flex you are really giving it hell. Don't worry about those weak days man. Your body slows itself down when you refuse too kind of a natural survival mechanism as long as your putting in the effort the muscle is getting worked. So don't let numbers get into your head too much.
If you want to keep muscle density while cutting then doing lower reps like 5x5 workout with short rest periods is great. Or my full body program which is both heavy and high rep when you consider the drops sets. Sets of 15 are also good for cutting but I like the look I get from heavier weight with shorter rest periods. I just feel it leaves more muscle density. I prefer sets of 15 for when I am letting my body recover from pushing heavy ass weight for too long. A way to tax the muscles and build some endurance while lightening the load on the joints and tendons. I will also use higher reps when extrreme conditioning is my goal. However when trying to keep my mass and cut up heavy weight, lower reps and short rest periods are my bread and butter.I'll try.
I'd also like to note, I looked at myself in the mirror at the gym and felt small. Exactly what you were talking about. BigOrexia. I won't let it get to me. I won't go too fast as to lose too much LBM but I won't overfill with cals just to feel better mentally. It's the hurdle everyone faces yet few can conquer. I know in the end, when single digit bf% is a reality this was all for great purpose and desire.
Kleen, how do you feel about higher rep ranges? Last year I did 8-10 during this time. Summer time I was up to 15 with slow tempo and even as high as 20 reps on some exercises. What do you suggest ?

LG reps; if you're still following, how do you suggest I run Formadrol? I have the XL size bottle, 90 caps. 4 a day will net 3.2weeks. Can I take this for the full 3.2 weeks until the bottle is gone? Or should I take as directed for 2 weeks and save the rest?
If 3.2 is okay, I'll take the Formadrol for the 3.2 and OEP for 4 weeks 2x per day as my bridge.
Even though its recommended for 2 weeks, Start at the high end of dosing and taper down.. going past the 2 weeks is perfectly fine..I ran it for 4weeks @ 3/2/2/1 I think. But that was a 60caps bottle. It is a great product. I would spread it out to 4weeks since you have the big bottle

Thanks brotha! Will run 4, 3, 2!Even though its recommended for 2 weeks, Start at the high end of dosing and taper down.. going past the 2 weeks is perfectly fine..

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:Weighed in: Lost another 6 lbs. BF down to 18.8%
From Day 1 thats a loss of 20 lbs and 5%BF.
Lost a little LBM here, but lost more fat too. May increase cals just a tad to slow the process. I was hoping for 2-3 lbs loss and all of it being fat.
Measures were 12,13,14MM Chest, took 13, Abs were 40, 41, 43, took 41 and Legs are consistently 10, 11.
I haven't been in the 220's in years. Starting to get compliments from outsiders as well. Feels stellar!
Off to the gym. Gotta get work done.
Before you make adjustments look closely at your food intake from the past week, have you cut carbs a little unintentionally? Have you increased your water intake, did you start taking something with Aromatase inhibitors in it maybe? Something that would dry you out and make you lose extra water weight which is also considered LBM? I jest Bro no need to worry you did indeed do the last few things I mentioned. The formadrol is going to make you drop water you were retaining, that is not your muscle although included in LBM. You are golden bro. Don't sweat it and don't raise your calories.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
I think I did cut carbs unintentionally. Mainly because I ate alot on Sunday. I also have been fired up on my cardio and have been doing higher intensity.Before you make adjustments look closely at your food intake from the past week, have you cut carbs a little unintentionally?

Thanks CC. I'm at the point where its no chore, instead its fun to be challenged to meet my numbers and keep the progress moving in the right direction. Gettin veiny, thinner and more imtimidating looking is motivating as well!Congrats on the progress man! You are doing great - really!! The dedication you got, it's amazing

Not only that but I am sure LG would love to see what you have done during the period on the stack. Will also give you more reference points.No doubt CC. Im debating on putting up pics after my 6 weeks or wait until im done with my bridge and Tren.

YOu did say you were getting stronger right? Maybe the weight is good weight, LBM. Like you said lets see what the numbers say on Sunday.Cardio
-K, so I didnt mention this yesterday because I thought it was no big deal, but I tweaked my back. I'm leaning to one side, I've done it before in the past; strained. A good week or week and a half, I should be back to normal.
-1 HR. Did my best here. I was hoping cardio would loosen my back up and it did but it doesnt feel good still.
-What made everything worse was my legs are and will continue to be extremely sore. I cant bend very well to help support my back. Doube negative here
-Relaxing at the moment. Will continue to take it easy and hit shoulders tomorrow. I should be able to finish my workouts but no sudden movements or overzealous attitude here. We'll make sure I'm 100% for the 19nor cycle.
-Don't feel I'm losing (weight) as much this week, but we'll let the numbers speak for themselve on Sunday.
No worries young brother, I'm made of adamantiumSorry to hear about your back man Keep the aminos up and recover fast

Weight on Smith is always just the weight. I dont count the bar.Ibuprofen Ibuprofen Ibuprofen, 800 mg every 4 hours with increased water intake. Get some Cissus too PLAYA!!!! Was the weight on smith including the bar or just counting the weight?
It is not the pain you are trying to fix it is the inflamation so it can heal. The inflamation slows the healing process quite a bit. Just drink more water if your worried about it. The pain will go down from the inflamation going down but the real reason to take it is the anti inflamatory effect.Weight on Smith is always just the weight. I dont count the bar.
We'll see about the Ibruprofen. I usually like to bypass pain killers.
