Man, I need to start doing my pics in the locker room with all the natty lighting and a solid pump. 

Sorry for the shitty progress pic, taken a couple hours after my leg workout and about 30min after my last meal.

And ya, I need to clean the mirror. My wife always gets toothpaste spray all over it. 

This is my baseline after resetting my calories and about a week into the new run. 

Pretty banging auction. 

Not much to update on so I apologize for the lack of updates. 

I am now about a week deep into the new cycle and down to 109.5kg as of Saturday morning. 

Nothing to report other than that as it is still early so saturation levels are not peaked yet. 

No new adjustments to training or diet other than missing cardio on Saturday, Sunday and this morning given the Typhoon here.  Goal is still to drop about 1kg a week +/- and outside of that, I will gradually cut calories as that slows, if it slows, as who knows, I have never run tren this high before. 

Finger's crossed all goes well. 

Welcome to NL. Keep the peace and all that jazz. 

The return of the red Chucks. 

Small update as looking for any tweaks to the new split. I have to change my split to a 4 days in the gym per week plan (pregnant grumpy wife and such) but AM cardio is done at 5am and outside and I also have bands and kettlebells at home for active rest/pump work.

I was thinking about doing some yoga or active stretching and pump work on weekends just to keep the blood moving. Cardio is 7 days a week. 45 min. Brisk walk. 

Still trying to focus on my leg development. Squats are still a no go. 

Advise is always welcome and appreciated. 

Here is what I am looking at right now:

Monday: Legs (Quad Focused)

Abduction Work: 4 x Progressive Load (30 sec rest)
Adduction Work: 4 x Progressive Load (30 sec rest)
Standing Calf Press: 3 + 2 working 
Leg Curls: 3 + 2 working
Leg Press (Low/Tight): 3 + 2 working

So its been a min since my last update for anyone that still follows this dusty log, but again, not much has been going on. Its been hot as fuk and it really pulls the energy out of you.

Managed to get my calories up to 3200 with any shift in weight and this coming Monday will be my first pin of the next 12-16 weeks run.  Yes, this is going to be a bit more of a big boy cycle to see how my body reacts. I have not run anything in higher doses in, well over a decade, so it should be interesting. 

Training, diet, cycle and supplements are outlined in previous posts. Ill be starting out at 3200 cal with my standard AM cardio 7 days a week.  This is my baseline. Ill run that for the next 3 weeks until everything is fully kicked in and see how my body reacts at those numbers with the added gear. Caloric load will then be looked at depending on progress. Either a few post weight cardio sessions, a small calorie cut or even Mountain dog style 24 hour fasting.

Ill try to trim the carpet I am wearing and get a new set of baseline photos this weekend. 

Hella impressive man. More so considering the timeframe and lack of a full gym. 

Inspirational to fat asses like me. 

I used to get this all the time and every now and then it happens. Curious to see what your results are from the follow up tests. 

1 month out man. You still doing OK? @Mikk0090

Small update;

I actually dropped a little weight (from holding at 114 to now holding at 111) so that has been interesting as I have not changed the diet up at all. In fact I have had an ice cream bar here and there. It may be a sign that I have finally adapted to the higher calorie load. 

Blood work came back good except for my HDL not being as high as I would like but my LDL was in range.  Creatinine was also double the range but that's my bad as I trained right up to the day of doing my bloods. 

RBC/Hemo all in range (top end, but in range) 

Looks like I am green lit to go for another round here soon and I am looking at some more big boy doses to see what happens. Still undecided and I still have time to plan it out. 

Other than that, not much going on. Strength has been solid and I need to shave my back lol. 

Nice rack man, but those curtains are bangin. 

Its the little things in life. 

Looking solid man. How did things go?  Did you catch the bug and already starting to think about your next show?

Your width is impressive on that spread. The only thing I would bring up in the offseason might be your quads, but then, Im dont complete and Im a fat ass, so...grain of salt lol. 

Your about a week out now I think man, how are things coming along.  Ready for peak week?

Looking forward to seeing the final result, side by side before and after, and hearing about your HydroxyCut sponsorship lol. 

"I lost 35lbs in 10 weeks...thanks HydroxyCut"

Welcome to NL. 
 

Operation raw deal…have not heard that in a long time. 

As a random update / side note, I will be adding grape seed extract, red yeast rice and P5P to my health stack next run. 

The grape seed will replace the celery seed for BP, red yeast for LDL (if I recall it does not do anything for HDL) and the P5P will be new addition for prolactin. 

All of the above for the sole reason that the next run will have a little more tren in it than last time. 

This is a good basic “health” panel, add in your test, free test, e2, progesterone, etc for a hormone panel;

Blood Chemistry
• Total Cholesterol
• Triglycerides
• High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
• Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
• High Sensitivity; C-Reactive Protein (hs;CRP)
• Fasted Blood Sugar
 
Kidney Function
• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
• Creatinine
• Creatine Phosphate Kinase (CPK)
• Cystatin-C
• Uric Acid
• eGFR
 
Complete Blood Count
• Hematocrit
• Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count
• White Blood Cell (WBC) Count
 
Liver Function
• Alanine transaminase (ALT)
• Aspartate transaminase (AST)
• Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
 
Thyroid Function 
• T4 total
• T4 free
• T3 Total
• T3 Free
• T3 reverse
• TSH
• FSH

An update just to update...because, why not. 

Holding at 114kg still. Using this week and a deload as I was starting too feel run down.

I had forgotten how easy it is to pin 175mg of a test a week vs 2+ml per shot. 

Notable effects of coming off:

Muscle cramps - as there has been no diet change I am wondering if the tren had upregulated my thyroid and helped out with my mild hypo as I did not cramp up at all on cycle.  Using the bathroom less as well even with more food so that might support the above. Who know, just one of those things to log. 

Still feeling strong overall, still vascular which is a surprise. 

It will be interesting to see how the next couple of weeks goes as far as what my body weight and comp does.

Mood has been a little shitty, but that is expected. Sky is falling, I'm going to revert to stupid fat again so I should cut all my calories, etc. You know how it is.  Looking forward to getting over the reset hump, snapping a few photos and then figuring out what the best course of action is.  

I seem to be holding at around 114kg putting back just shy of 3K CAL. 

Full blood panel and physical next week and pending that result will hopefully be setup to get back on. 

That's about it for an update. 

I would keep an watch on how your stomach issues progress over the next few weeks. My sister had a similar response to her Moderna shot. If it does not improve then something is up, but; here is hoping that it does.

Doing it in the glutes is always good...cue disco beat.

Hey SG, I would say tossing your cookies after eat meal is probably not overly normal, at least from what I have seen. Are you packing back too much food per sitting?

The good go to spots for shots are VG, DG, Delts, and maybe Quads (in that order...in my opinion anyway) as I assume your flexibility is solid to hit dorsogluteal.

If you are not pinning a lot, I would stick to glutes, again, just me and my old fat ass opinion lol.

How are you making out man?  I cant even fathom what 400mg tren is like once it kicks in.
