I have actually purposely dropped about 20 pounds. Most days having a few fairly light meals. My protein should be higher but I wanted to drop weight so it's not too bad. I am pleased with how things are going now I just need to up protein and lower fats for the next few weeks. I did have a McDonalds burger and fries yesterday and that made me look tonnes better. Today I rejoined my old gym and the owner hadn't seen me for for awhile and asked me if I had lost a lot of weight Even though you know it that's obviously not the best question to ask guys like us I had a hoodie on as well although saying that half the weight I have probably dropped has been from my fat face. When I bulk up a bit it always goes to my face first.

I have a funny story about Montreux but never posted the pics. My gf took a few as it was happening. I had a group of Indian tourists wanting to take their picture with me. Literally about 5 of them one after the other Plus they asked me to "do a muscle". Bizarre but funny at the time. Then of course Flex was centre of attention. If you ever need to meet a nice girl just buy a dachshund and take him/her on lot's of walks

I didn't even know they were taking pics of me on the bench at first then I smiled for one. We walked a ridiculous amount that day and my lower back was killing me. My sister done about 20,000 steps and I would have been much higher than that. I was about 265 but purposely dropped about 20 pounds and fast as well. Now I don't know what I am weighing. I don't really care but when dieting it plays with my head too much so I would rather just keep going until I am happy with how I look and not worry about weight. I want to downsize a little but at my height there is a big risk of looking stringy if you go too far I suppose I will be happy with anything 225 and over though. I would have to starve myself to go below that now though so I should be gtg.

I don't like going away without Flex now. We have a holiday for 1 week soon without him. My next trip at the end of the month is with a mate and to go out and party etc. I will try and be sensible this time though. So we said next holiday we will take Flex and we are thinking Milan and a nearby city. We can even get the train there so we don't have to put him in a cage with the luggage on a plane.

train travel there seems super cool.
its rare if im away from my dog at all, i feel guilty if i go out, he like bars too. lol super social!

you are looking good where you are at, i think no need to worry about wieght. the only thing i might say is think yes to downsizing as you go. you know im on that train. lol with where you are, you will be super on gq at 40 on emerics 10mg ed! but totally serious too.

lower body wieght=more party! lol :banghead: health, i mean health
seriously dont worry bout the number, you can be pealed out 225-230-235 on like nothing.

single digit on trt. you can do it!:lightbulb:

no rush though, have fun!

 

[johnjuanb1]

The family resemblance between you and Flex is uncanny.
He obviously got his hair from your girlfriend’s side of the family.
He has your ears and tail though for sure.

Matey I could hold what I have now and next to nothing. 150mg test and 230 pounds lean very easily. As I posted I really have to starve myself now to drop weight by a lot. Even when I come off everything and my body melted away before my eyes I was 230 or so. Although it's always fun to experiment... well not with tren but more on that later. Obviously certain drugs help with a certain look which I will attain over the next 2 months. Truth be told I would add them in now but I am unprepared It's best I wait anyway due to 2 trips coming up so I will be away.

I am dropping the tren (more on that below) but do wish I had some proviron and maybe even halo to play with over a short period. It's too late now and I will just taper down slightly before I go away. It's only for 5 days then when I get back I will resume well then I go away again 1 week later so not ideal but all is good. I actually just added 125mg test c and will dose that twice weekly from now on as I want to transition into longer esters as fed up with these daily aas shots. Plus with going away it prevents the drop as much not that I am bothered about 1 week of not injecting.

 

[Elvia1023]

Yesterday I trained back, chest and abs. I supersetted everything and it felt good...

Decline DB Presses supersetted with Incline Bench DB Rows... 1 working set.
Machine Pullovers supersetted with Machine Hammer Press ... 1 working set.
Lat Pulldown supersetted with Machine Flyes... 1 working set.
TG Machine Row supersetted with Flat Barbell Press... 2 working sets.
Seated Cable Row supersetted with Chest Dips... 2 working sets.
Abs for 15 mins
Stretches.

If I superset I still lift as heavy as I always do. So all machines were with the full weight rack. The machines rows were with 4pps which is a little less than usual but that machine feels very heavy. Now the only exception is whenever I superset flat barbell press I never go heavy. It's just a rule I have and I am sure I would be fine but I hear about so many pec tears on that movement I prefer to keep it 2pps and I really slow down the reps and use perfect form.

I go away in 8 days so the other night I thought maybe just up things slightly for the next week so I added a little extra tren and mast. I wake up after 90 mins sleep drenched in sweat having a panic attack It was a bad one as well. I can't be bothered feeling like that again so I am lowering my tren from 40mg to 20mg for the next few days then dropping it. The same for mast as well and that will be dropped to 30mg then dropped. Test p is still at 40mg ed and last night I added a 125mg test c shot. I will do another 1 in a few days then one on the day I leave and carry that on when I get back after 5 days. If I had any winny, proviron or halo I would dose them but no bother I will just wait until I get back from my 2nd trip on the 17th July before adding anything else in. So for the next few days it will be 40mg test p, 30mg mast p, 20mg tren a and 40mg avar. With some test c in the background building up which I will add deca and maybe mast e when I get back. I should add I have been using 20mg tamoxifen daily for about 6 weeks as well.

Today I was very low in energy and due to train legs. I left it very late and decided to train. I really pushed it hard and struggled through. My workout was very simple and all isolation work. I could say my lower back was a reason but I also just felt like training this way. All movements are ones I really like and get a lot from. I can also overload the targeted muscle and feel safe doing so. Honestly 3 working sets into my calves and I was ready to go home but really pushed through. A brutal session but not as taxing on the nervous system so I should be gtg tomorrow night.

Arm pump workout for 15 mins.
Seated Calf Raises supersetted with Standing Calf Raises... 10 working sets.
Seated Leg Curls supersetted with Standing Leg Curls... 5 working sets.
Unilateral Leg Extensions... 10 working sets.
Stretches.

To give reference for my heaviest sets on leg extensions I was using the full weight rack with 1 leg using slow negatives and trying to hold the contraction so they were brutal.

Preworkout I had 40mg avar, 5ml synthetine, 20mg cialis and 1 serving of 5%'s Kill It Reloaded.

My abs are very indented now I am just holding some fat/water in my lower abs. I can see all the details coming in though. I think what I have done recently makes a good example of how you can get lean and look good for the beach even if you fuck everything up as long as you stay in a deficit using some drugs and train hard I will have a few more low carb days then start adding some carbs (mainly rice cakes and fruit etc) back in to fill out before I go away. I will definitely get some pics done before I go. I shaved part of my front I just need to finish it off and get my gf to do my back.

I also dosed syntherol at 1.5ml in both bi-ceps heads and 2 tri-cep heads the other day. Plus yesterday at 1.5ml in both bi-cep heads again. That's why I added in the arm pump workout to get blood moving as my tri-ceps felt a little tight but feel good now.

you have lots a size bro. just go nice n slow n easy,when you starve yourself like that its largley water manipulation and all. i think if you keep you diet n training together like you have people will all be saying bullshit to your 10mg ed. lol

My gf agreed to mind a dog this weekend so the apartment is a bit crazy. Dog hairs everywhere from the dog and Flex play fighting for about 6 hours straight

I have treats occasionally but very small such as 1 biscuit or 2 spoons of ice cream. So I don't go without but they are so small it makes very little difference and keeps me sane Obviously if I had something serious to get in condition for I wouldn't do that and would be much better. Although evenb counting the treats my carbs for the last week have literally been 75g max per day. The last few days that was closer to 50g. My fats are also lower than usual. I am doing a mini depletion. As a result I am very flat now and really feeling it. I have upped my water intake and consume a lot of sodium so it helps keep me a little fuller and the pumps in the gym are always there. I will add carbs back in on Sunday. Only 200g or so then 300g the next day and go from there. I like to experiment plus I know it will 100% make me look sharp for pics.

My plan is to do the above then I go away for 5 days. I will resume dieting when I get back then travel again for 1 week and will eat pretty much what I want. I will still train during the 2nd trip. After that I will resume dieting on test c, deca and mast e with some orals thrown in at the end of summer. I will do a proper depletion after my 2nd trip as I will have more time to do everything properly. Just for fun and to get in my best shape then it will be back on TRT and eating healthy but not worrying about calories.

Training is still the same split but I am temporarily modifying my approach. In the past it was all about the working set and just warm ups to get to that last set or 2. Now I am doing more hard sets (70-80%) and keeping the pace as fast as possible. I will still throw in some 100% sets when I feel they are warranted. I am doing this for a variety of reasons but most importantly I just feel like a change and I don't want to get injured. Those 100% sets take it out of my body and my shoulders are very dry, left hip is giving me issues, middle trap is on/off, right calf is strained etc. It's still 100% effort just done differently.

Tonight I trained back, shoulders and abs and it destroyed me. I like pushing through but my body has no energy on low carbs. I also trained very high volume tonight. I won't go into all the details but I incorporated a lot of different movements such as...

Machine pullovers using one arm at a time then both.
High and Low Pulley Cable Rows. On the low setting I bend over quite a lot but finish with a more upright stance and really pushed things.
Reverse pec deck for higher reps.
Standing cable shrugs using 2 standard handle grips. You get a great feeling when using 2 individual handles. I worked up to the full weight rack doing 15 slow reps at multiple weights with approx 15 secs rest. I like using the 2 handles for bi-cep and tri-cep work as well. I failed on 15 reps on the last set because I held the last contraction for as long as possible.
Lot's of upright rows and front raises.
Lateral raise machine.
I finished with abs for about 20 mins but I was half dead so rested between sets. Mainly knee raises and reverse crunches off a bench tonight.
I made sure to stretch and foam roll my back as I can get lower back tightness especially after doing abs.
To top things off I missed the bus so walked home which took me about 30 mins.

I took Driven Sports Rize tonight as I felt like I needed something stronger than caffeine. It's not great and it helped but I was exhausted 3/4 into training but pushed through. On top of that was 5ml synthetine, 20mg cialis and 40mg avar.

Prebed I will take 500mg metformin, 80mg telmisartan and 10mg melatonin. I have also been using a small dose of MT2 pre bed and will carry that on tonight.

Well I stuck to my plan for about 4 hours All is good though. I had forgotten we were having dinner with my gf's parents before they go away for approx 1 month. That was chicken paella which I had a decent serving plus some cake for dessert. I also drank quite a lot of lipton iced tea which I never do so that's another 100g carbs/sugar from the tea alone. So my carb loading started earlier than posted

Today I started with some bran cereal (with milk) and a synthepure shake on the side. I have also had 2 meals that consisted of a toasted bagel with turkey breast meat and a little honey (plus another synthepure shake). Post workout steak with rice cakes and vegetables. Next meal will probably be cottage cheese with fruit.

Recovery with carbs is literally night and day. On low carbs my recovery from training is terrible. The difference carbs make to me is massive especially intra and post workout. I also didn't feel half dead after I trained today. Although I also didn't go crazy with the weights but had a great workout. You will notice a lot of pressing movements but the weight was lower, reps were controlled and the rest periods were minimal. So whilst I went to failure nothing was super heavy and I went more for "pump".

Chest, tri-ceps, calves and quads.

Warm up chest and back with cable movements.
Seated Chest Press... 3 working sets.
Flat Barbell Press... 1 working higher rep set with dead stops.
Cable Crossovers and Presses (do both in the same set)... 2 working sets.
Seated Hammer Press... 1 working set.
Warm up tri-ceps with a variety of cable extensions then...
3 GIANT sets consisting of cable pushdowns, seated overhead machine extensions, close grip bench press and tri-cep dips.
Standing Calf Raises... about 6 working sets.
Leg Extensions... 3 sets of 50 reps going up in weight.

The pump from the giant sets were crazy. None of the weights were high. Although on the last giant set I did use the full rack for pushdowns. Seated extensions was the same weight each time and felt heavy but only 1/2 the rack. Close grip bench was 1 plate per side each set and dead stops on the last set. Dips were with 3pps which is actually heavy on this machine and feel like 4pps on most dip machines.

For the calf raises I was using very controlled reps and pausing at the top and bottom. I went with approx 25 reps for every set. Some included long holds on the top and bottom plus very slow negatives. Just a mix up of intensity techniques and some fast partials to extend certain sets past 25 reps. Leg extensions were all about a quick pump and I obviously train them a more conventional way later in the week.

I dosed aas last night and gonna skip tonight and finish 2moro night with the short esters. I will dose 125mg test c 2moro and in a few days time and carry on with the longer estered gear when I get back. Pre workout I dosed 40mg avar, 5ml synthetine, 20mg cialis and 1 serving of Goku Gains preworkout. I have no aminos so just been drinking water intra but will receive some eaa's 2moro. I dose 20mg cialis eod btw. I think that dose really adds to your physique when getting leaner due to it's beneficial effects towards fat burning and increased vascularity.

My gf can come to the gym with me on Tuesday so I will get updated pics then.

 

[Elvia1023]

I had more carbs today. I just ate what I wanted and that consisted of grapes, dates, cherries, mango, rice cakes, bagels, honey and fig jam. About 350-400g carbs so nothing crazy. Toasted bagels with turkey breast meat and honey or fig jam is amazing and I have ate 3 today. I think grapes and dates are excellent sources of fast carbs as well. Protein hasn't been high and fat next to zero but only for the next 2 days.

I trained in a vest for the first time in ages and I can see everything is starting to come to life. Veins everywhere and getting leaner. I will do a proper deplete and load in August. This one has been all over the place but still effective. I have changed a lot in 1 week. I still have some lower ab fat that needs to come off but for the time I have taken and the fact I haven't even dieted properly I can't complain. I even had some ice cream today as well.

Preworkout I took 5ml synthetine, 40mg avar, 1 serving of full as fuck and 1 serving of Nutrex's Outlift Amped. This is my last day on avar. I will also dose my short esters for the last time tonight. I will do 40mg test p, 30mg mast p and 20mg tren a. On top of that 125mg test c plus another 125mg on Thurs night.

Bi-ceps, Hamstrings and Abs.

Bi-ceps and Forearms literally 15 different movements. Minimal rest and a variety weights and angles. Trained them for about 30 mins. Some basic stuff and some more unusual stuff such as standing cable overhand curls and barbell wrist twists.
Seated Leg Curls supersetted with unilateral db stiff leg deadlifts... 5 working sets (15 "sets" in total).
Abs... about 20 mins again a variety of movements with no distinct order that included hanging knee raises, decline situps, decline twists and rope crunches.
Stretches and Foam Rolling.

 

[Elvia1023]

I very recently started using a cleanse product but it has done the opposite of what it should do. It contains things such as senna, aloe vera and psyllium husk. It gave me bad stomach cramps and has stopped me going to the toilet. So my lower stomach is more bloated than usual. I have dropped it so the bloating will go away soon. I don't believe in traditional cleansing products at all but this looked ok and I figured it would help with regularity and I have had some minor issues but this has made things 10x worst.

I still got pics done tonight though. My gf also done a short video as well which I much prefer I am fairly pleased with things though. Once the bloating goes down even better. I just need to get my waist in more over the next 2 months. I never bothered shaving my front again even though it's or different lengths but you can't tell in the pics.

Carbs today have been from cherries, nectarines, blueberries, dates, bagels and honey. I just tried a ON Optimum protein bar and they taste good. The rest of my protein has been from turkey breast, beef and eaa's today.

Training was supersetting back and chest movements. Then I done a few bits just to get a pump for the pics. Next training day is legs which should be tomorrow or Thursday. It's very late now so I will post the updated pics tomorrow.

 

[prodaf]

psyllium husk bloated me also
i m not a fan of any cleanse product

 

[LK3]

those turkey bagels sound yummy!
but i really want some bacon n sharp cheddar on there too!:lightbulb::naughty:

 

[USMuscle9403]

Want a non-Senna, non-psyllium cleanse?

4tbsp or so of himalayan pink salt mixed in a liter of warm water. Chug it all within five minutes. Do this on an empty stomach.

Senna irritates the hell out of my stomach, I'm not a fan. Psyllium husk is more for just every day fiber supplementation.

 

[Elvia1023]

psyllium husk bloated me also

Psyllium husk is actually fine for me you just have to be careful with the amount. I use it alone with no issues. The amount in the product is tiny so I don't think it was that. Probably the senna or the cascara sagrada bark in it as I never use those.

Sounds good. I think the best cleanse is simply lots of water between meals. I like doing lemon water also. I have tried salt water but only pre workout for added pumps so will have to try it first thing in the morning. I only used this product as I had it in my cupboard. Lesson learnt if it isn't broke don't fix it

I came on here to post the video but Flex has been stung by something so we need to take him to the emergency vets. I will be back a little later and post it then. I need to work out how to do a direct link without having to use you-tube, vimeo etc.

 

[Elvia1023]

Here are 2 videos from training last night. A bit bloated but not bad considering I have semi dieted and implemented no cardio. In August I will deplete properly and also start doing cardio.
