In, you getting bloods done after?

What does your PCT look like?

Hahaha this is a touchy subject...just read the prior comments! I think we've all decided to let Bob and his team run with it, no questions asked. Now if his PCT included clomid, that would be nice (sorry, couldn't resist one last time)!

When i met with Austin this weekend (Inov8ElitePerformance) my coach we did some posing afterwards, tried to mess around with my most muscular pose. I think we found a better alternative.

Fried Eggs Rule. Go great on burgers too.

I made a sweet potato hash last night with sauteed apples and then threw in 2 poached eggs on top and topped with PB Lean Glaze (Powdered peanut butter)

was really good.
 
Always need any cooking ideas just holler. This log is not always about training, glad to see you can pick up something from here even through all my louzy workouts!

Full PB or PB lean - I use it on virtually everything. Tuna steak with PB or a PB lean glaze ftw.

I went through my first bag of Dulce de leche PB lean so quick lol. What's next? Maybe eggnog or fudge brownie.

No louzy workouts here, just goal dependent approach I see. There is always something to learn, thanks for sharing

Great way to finish this mesocycle, saw some great strength gains, and my mood and energy are great throughout the entire run so far. no complains at all and mirror is still holding strong in the reverse diet.

The solution, what is your advice on getting extremely lean while preserving muscle?
Click to expand...

Slow Caloric Deficit, as minimal cardio as possible, and keep kcls as high as possible to prevent metabolism from crashing. Always train heavy to preserve muscle
 
so lets break down what i thought i may experience during this run so far as an update
GNO NoAddedHmones Segansational yates84

3 Week Update



- Increases Lean Muscle Mass

So far you can see I have hit some great PR's, and actually life time PR's with 315 x 6 on bench, I am very happy to see progress in the gym going very well. I have also bumped my kcals twice during this run with no noticible fat gain as well, Kcals are starting to get around 2700ish if i even out both workout and non workout days. Austin has my kcals lower on Non-Workout days and higher on workout days (mostly carbs)


- Increases Strength & Endurance

As noted above, Endurance has been noted with rest times. This upcoming mesocycle will really test my rest periods and time in the gym. There is a lot more volume and also some more intensity techniques that will be a challenge. I am looking forward to this next mesocycle and change of pace in training. Which starts tomorrow

- Promotes Fat Loss

I would not say fatloss in a reverse diet (currently 12 weeks since i ended my cut) as kcals continue to increase as I am not as lean as i was. I am now pushing over 10+ pounds when i was my leanest, so that may be a far stretch, but still holding my conditioning

- Promotes Recovery

I do feel better, with less cardio (2 HIIT sessions a week) and spending more time on rumble rolling, stretching, and forms of ART i have never felt better. Doing those things in my spare time has helped me feel great, and recovery better. The supplement may have a small impact on this, but again 100% not sure because of increased recovery techniques and time for stretching/rumble rolling etc.

- Increases Libido

Small Change in libido, nothing to rave over, but present. Overall libido is pretty normal on a day to day basis

Solid feedback man. Great to see Osta treating you well. Keep killing it!
 
Good news so far. Have you noticed better or deeper sleep? That was something I noticed at the beginning of my run.

Also, be aware that I began to run into low t issues around week 4-5 so keep and eye out.

I am a very light sleeper by nature. If i hear a door open i am up for the night.
hear a bird chirp it wakes me right up.
Takes me forever to fall asleep too

mw1 told me to get bloods, so i am going to get some done on the 3rd of September shortly right around when this ends.
 
What about rested feeling or dreams? I had very vivid dreams and woke feeling very well rested at the beginning of my run. Obviously that changed but it was great at the start as I also am a pretty light sleeper (tho I can also fall asleep/back to sleep nearly instantly)
