Hello there, had logs here before - was helpful.
26 y/o 6'2 230lbs.
Haven't really progressed in the last 18 months.
Pulled 700@220 and since then maintained the ability to pull 660-680 @ 220 with minimal training and minimal drugs use.
Physique wise unhappy, strength wise unhappy.
Hope to do better.

Cycle
Test E 200mg pw (e7d) wks 1-12
Tren E 180mg pw (e7d) wks 1-9
Halotestin 4 days only @ week 9 (10/15/20/25 mg ed split 2-3 times daily)
Mast P 300mg pw (MWF) wks 10-12

9 weeks to peak my deadlift and 3 extra week to cut a bit more with an hardening/drying agent.

Goals :
  • Lose 10lbs-25 lbs, not obsessed with the number I care more about the look.
  • Pull 705lbs.
  • get into acceptable aerobic shape and feel good.

Training :
Sunday
Squats, plyometrics
Front delts and tricep pump
Posterior chain accessories
Abs

Monday
Back, rear delts, biceps and forearms pump

Tuesday
Chest, front delts and tricep pump

Wednesday
Deadlift training
Back, rear delts, biceps and forearms pump
Abs and obliques

Thursday
Chest, front delts and triceps pump

Cardio thrown in every workout (depends on time limit)

Nutrition

Subbed!

What does an 8,800 calorie day look like??

I’m truly not sure I’ve ever had one that high; I think I’d need to take out an entire pie to pull that off.

Yeah, 2 whole pizzas would be the tough part in 1 day for me.

What’s all the sugar in - sweetened drinks?

Any reason you’re getting so little protein per day? I’m not a big fan of excessive protein neither but even for me 0.3-0.4g/kg is too low.

Lol too bad I'm not a 6'9 pro strongman with this type of appetite, completely demolished my cut. But with the tren kicking in got a nice fullness and some mass. I look 5% leaner then start of cycle (based on photos). Goal is being under 100kg in 8 weeks.

Surprisingly easy, could have done 5-6. Next week 200kg for 3-5.
This week also planned 300kg deadlift.
 
Wait, so why did you let yourself gain 8lbs in a week?? I mean I can see 1-3 days of going off the rails, but you straight went over the cliff and into the void with a weeklong pizza bender!

No fridge, take out 2-3 times a day.
Also every cheat day I woke up bigger and leaner probably as the result of the tren fully kicking in. But It stops now lol. Also already down 8lbs.

It amazes me how you can even get up to a 661 pull in under 35 minutes, nevermind all of the fluff done afterwards. Looked smooth and fast!

Yeah, all of those jumps make perfect sense, and the time spent, if I’m being honest. Deadlift is just something I historically spent too long on, too much rest and too much volume, especially warmup volume. I no longer really believe in that; I think you just need to be warm as necessary and if you’re firing well then make the jumps and get to work sets.

Inflamed glute didn't allow me to sleep, went to work and the studied the rest of the day. Walking made it better, avoiding NSAID's for now.
 
Frequent short walks and position changes to support bloodflow are where it’s at!

Also taking a hot shower then icing the glute for 15-20 minutes is a nice way to flush some blood then pull inflammation out.
