View Full Version : Cutting from 251

Well - here are some of my updates and my next move...

I have moved to a 2X/day split with Tren/Prop/Winny @ 75/50/50 ED... Calories will be almost 2000 during the week and back to 2500 Saturday, 3000 Sunday, then back to low calorie week. I will try this and see how it goes. Starting at 251lbs - want to lean down to 220 - 230.

I am trying to fine tune it (with help from mmaximus) and it may change depending on how it goes. Perhaps a closer calorie stagger. I am writing down all my workouts to judge muscle wasteing (load, reps, sets, time to complete workout, how I felt, ...). Obviously the initial days are a bit rough (especially coming off a high calorie bulk) as gycogen stores become depleted - but soon enough the body learns to except fat, so I am not to worried about strength levels this weekend and next week.

So far so good - moving into my 4th day at, at least 1500 calories below my BMR . Today I added 12 ounces of grapefruit juice after the morning cardio. Most of diet come from MRP... a whole food meal after both training sessions. This will be my first diet down on androgens so it'll be interesting for me. So far at has been much more tollerable than natural - probably from the added testosterone. By next week the Prop/Tren/Winny should all be showing something. And much better the third week.

Here is my pic, beginning my first cycle. This was about 3 weeks into my beginners stack ;) - it would have been better had the Equipoise been testosterone and Primo was simply not used:

Deca: 800/400/400/400/400/000/000/000/000/000/000/000
Primo: 600/300/100/000/000/000/000/000/000/000/000/000
Equip: 000/000/000/000/100/300/300/300/300/300/300/300

Here is me today at 250 on third day of cut down (BTW - I feel flat from low cal/low carb):

Thanks gents.

My starting stats from Jan 3rd are: bodyweight: 251 lbs, neck 18", quad, 27", waist 40" (:rolleyes: I measured around the hip bone :D ...), arms 19", forearm, 14"

Continuing to prioritze biceps and delts. Both have improved since October. And I can see it with the pics next to each other in this thread. If I could add an ounce of muscle during this cut down - it would be on the biceps to bring me up to 20".

I have already switched a lot of fat weight to muscle weight and have gotten bigger - while staying around 250... second pic looks much more vascular and bigger (easy to spot when comparing the head size)... guess my "bulking phase" set me up for cutting phase :D - and I was eating a lot - high cal see food diet boosted by the Equipoise. ;)

But anyway - time to dial this braddah in!

My blood pressure is low but after the first shot (like 4 days ago) and still today I feel pressure by my bladder... probably prostate. I grabbed some standardized Saw Palmetto today - if that does not help... I will cut Prop down to 50mg EOD before stopping altogether...

As far as herbs - I am running Milk Thistle and now Saw Palmetto.

Looking good. I have to say that I think you are going about this cutting thing all wrong. At 1500 calories under BMR, you are going to sacrifice a lot of muscle. My suggestion would be to increase cardio, drop fat intake to 10%, protein at 2g per lb, and complex whole grain carbs to make up the rest of your diet. Calories shouldn't be cut more than 200-300 per week. Losing more than 2 lbs a week is a surefire way to waste away muscle.

True that. I wouldn't be so drastic under natural conditions. But, as of 5 days in and a huge diesel rush today I am up 2 pounds :D I added a couple seving of carbs today from spinach pasta so it is probably just me filling back up with some water. But I am keeping very close records on any muscle wasting - so far none. The first couple I was pretty slugish... with no change. However, I have actually increased strength the last two days. Got a love this shit... it really kicked in today and I felt really vascular (especially in chest area) and pumped. The Prop/Tren/Winny are really jacking me up. :D

Saw Palmetto is showing some postives so i don't see any reason to lower the Prop dose yet. I am deffinitly sensitive to testosterone (especially when running with something else very androgenic, trenbolone).

Warrior
01-08-2003, 01:09 AM
All right - I was too drastic and it is showing in my results and general disposition - especially tonight, I felt beat and my strength was low. But still looking more vascular.

I did some more reading and found someone did a test on his BMR to find out that Trenbolone increased it by 1000 calories! If his findings were even close to accurate - I am way off on this. The gear is increasing the metabolism and I am lowering calories and increasing actvity.

I am going to do a shorter calorie stagger: 3 days a week low carb, 1 day moderate, and then an increase through the weekend.

Taking about 10-12 Saw Palmetto capsules during the day and the Prostate pains (BPH) subsided - I gots to remember that one! Saw Palmetto is the shit... :D

I hate to say this and please don't take it as a flame, but I personally don't see any change at all. Dude, I'm not raining on your parade or trying to be negative but 2 months using what you're using should produce some pretty obvious results. Have your measurements changed? Because in those pics I don't see a reduction of bf. Again, I'm not being a prick just trying to be honest. I give you props for posting your pics and sharing your knowledge, but maybe I'm missing something.

Yes, I'm being honest without being disrespectful I feel. Like I said W, I don't begrudge the efforts you've made I just feel from the pics I've seen that you may want to re-evaluate your program. Hope there's no hard feelings bro as that is not my intention.

Wow... really. I see the change most definitly. I feel it everyday. Getting back into the gym after being put on some Prednisone that ate me up pretty bad. I am feeling much better today - that Deca/Eq really helped me rebuild as a post convalecent.

Measurements, not really. But I wish I would have. All my shirts got a hell of a lot tighter - my arms blew up from about 17.5 to near 20, and then dropped back down to 19, which I maintain today (a little better than 19's as I type this cold). My BF is lower. My Triceps are pushing almost 200lbs on a cambered extension... I have nearly out grown some of the equipment nin my gym. People here really see it, but I guess posting pics on the computer don't give as much justice.

I don't know brah... but I have gotten a hell of a lot thicker - a lot of the old shirts are simply too small now.

The biggest change was Delts and Biceps which I prioritized - let me dig for more pics...

Warrior
01-08-2003, 02:04 PM
Here is another comparison. I don't know if it helps you any - but the first pick my arms were a little better than 17... the second is at 19. And hopefully it shows some torso development. Like I said... shirts are way tighter and some I don't wear anymore. A little better than 2 months brah...

Warrior, bro, like I said...from your numerous posts I think your a great guy and an asset to this board. You are very helpful and respectful and believe me it is not my intention to piss you off...and I am not issinuating anything. I just have a hard time seeing the change. Maybe your arms are very thick but they don't look 19" bro. This is a pic of my arm (I was bloated from dbol) and in this pic my arm was just under 18". Now granted I'm only 5'10" and you have 2" on me but your arm does not look 1.5" larger (again bro, this is not a pissing match and if I'm offending you in anyway, please, please let me know, for that is not my intention).

Warrior
01-09-2003, 03:50 PM
I wish I had a digital camera to show you with the tape around them. Yes, they are 19 - cold. They jump over 19 pumped. I don't know what to tell you Pete, I don't sugar coat shit. I gave all my measurements. I am very thick at 6 foot yes.

I'll have my buddy that works over at the gym as a trainer tape them - he uses the same tape (he gave me my roll) and has taped me the same as my results before... but I will have him do it too. If I get 19, he gets 19 - then they are 19 in my book - if I don't see him for a few days hopefully I will even be up a few points... but I will let you know... and I will ask him what he taped them at back in October too - to verify the beginning size.

Warrior
01-10-2003, 01:17 AM
Thanks Tank. You got some awesome size on you to brah...

Pete... my buddy wasn't there, but I had another guy do it. He measured 19.25. So take it as you want it. BTW - when comparing a 180 pound bodybuilder's changes, it can be much more noticable in pics. But when looking at the heavy weights you kind of have to look at things that don't change... like size of hands, head size, stuff to make a better comparison. Cuz when you get to a certain size, 5, 10... 15 pounds of muscle soaks right up. And in my case, I added the muscle and leaned up.

Anyway, I had some health concerns on my stack (some tenderness in lower abdominal area - possibly BPH) and have cut the Tren dose in half and dropped the Winstrol. Tren/Prop @ 30/50 ED for now on. Keeping Saw Palmetto and adding Zinc for this reason.

Body weight is actually gone up to a leaner 255! :D This guy was built for size! Even with morning cardio and clean diet - I added muscle. Not sure if I should bring back down the calories - or just role with it... I think I will just role with it. :D

I will be getting a hydrostatic bodyfat test done at the end of the month.

I didn't "diss" anybody! I merely stated my personal opinion in a respectfuil manner. It's been said before, but even though we don't allow flaming here at AR, if you post your pics be prepared for all comments, negative and positive. Also, I never once discouraged from from continuing to post pics or results, I didn't say it was bullshit and I didn't insult him. That is just my personal opinion. BTW...being a mod means shit, I don't consider my opininons to hold any more weightthan the rest of our members. So I suggest in the future you read everything before making assumptions!

Keep up the work Warrior your leaning up, On that PM though I dont think you have that much BF to drop to 220, I think 230 @ 9 is reasonable...220 would take it's toll on your muscle... A drastic measure that would cut more bf and preserve muscle, my tech. no more Carbs after 2:00 meal all protein low fat and heavy use of stimulants for energy in the gym, thermognics I mean... making sure you mix a glutamine-liquid amino, dextrose mix heavily diluted in water during work out. protein before and after and sleeping aide to put you down and slow your metabolism....
try that 4lap = to 1min constant jump rope in morning I told you about... 5 sets = 5mins =2000meters total

MMaximus - I'll stop carb in the evening. My weight has actually gone up in the last week. I jumped to 255lbs - but I see the vascularaty and veins popping up in my forearms, chest and abdominals... so I guess I am recomposing well. The only carbs I have been eating in the evening are from my post workout, whole wheat bread, stir fry veggies, beans, ...

When you mention the cardio - what basic heart rate do you go for? I find my heart is pumping faster and I am sweating more recently. I can try the jump rope - in fact I would like to get back into running and sprints, but was going to bike my way down to a more reasonable weight for my knees first...

It was deffinitly the Trenbolone causing the abdominal soreness - it is completely gone today. I am going to try and continue it at the lower 30-35mgs per day to add a little nonaromatizing androgenic activity to the Test Propinate. Not a huge dose - but under this stack I don't seem to tollerate much more. My system just sucks it up. :D Cheaper scripts for me!

BTW Pete - no hard feelings at all brah... I would rather have some comments than none. But remember, when I post something - I don't sugar coat shit. When I come back with 20's - they will be 20's. :D

This is my current split for evening resistance training - I have been using it about 6 weeks now but finally began writing everything down last week. I have made my best gains the last few years when on this split, especially when keeping good records of my workouts :

A = GVT (2-3 days rest for small bodyparts, 3-4 for large), B=POF (3-4 days rest for small, 4-5 for large), C=Holistic (4-5 days rest for small, 5-6 for large).

Worked in something like this:

Chest: A, B, A, C, repeat
Back: A, B, A, C, repeat
Delts: A, B, C repeat
Biceps: A, B, C repeat
Triceps: A, B, A, C, repeat
Calves: A, B, A, C, repeat
Quads: B, B, C, repeat
Hams: A repeated
Abs: B, B, C, repeat

Currently prioritzing Delts and Biceps.

A) GVT = German Volume Training. 10 sets of 10 reps, flat pyramid, 60 second RI's. For strength and hypertrophy.

B) POF = Positions of Flexion. Basically what 90 percent of the people in the gym try andd do. For limit strength.

C) Holistic = 1) Power Movement (4-5 reps), 2) Rythmic Movement (12-15 reps), 3) Holistic (40 reps). Done non stop - on big Giant set. Extreme intensity. An example of Delt day was using 1) Hammer Front Press (4-5 reps), 2) Standing Side Laterals (12-15 reps), and 3) Upright rows (40 reps). Like I said, you go non stop from exercise to exercise - not necessarily ever needing a spot (unless safety is an issue) but dropping weight as you get fatiqued. Last Holistic Delt workout I did this: 1,2,1,2,1,3,1,2,1,3,1,2,1,3,1. Took about 20 minutes from start to end. Talk about a pump! If you are familiar with Power Factor Training, this scores a really high Power Index. Great for hypertrophy - not necessarily strength. You switch from fast-twitch, to slow-twitch, to fast-twitch, to slow-twitch, ... This can easily overtrain an Intermediate or Beginnner - just on CNS involvement alone. And you can see why this gets the most rest days You can work out hard - or you can work out long... can't do both.

I had an analyphlactic (sp?) reaction to something - the severity was similar to what happens when people can get killed from a bee sting. The problem is - I don't know my bee sting. And it may result in it happening to me again to figure it out - or it may be something rare I came in contact (most likely injested) with in another country.

Prednisone was used as an anti-inflamatory to keep my throat from swelling shut and all around swelling (looked like I went 10 rounds with Tyson). Also was on Benedryl, Morphine, Tortle, and my favorite... Epiniphrene... talk about running a marathon while lying down - there were a few times I said, "Yo - my heart feels like it is about to explode... can we skip this one?" :D I was at my all time best - all natural prior to that little cocktail and poor diet at the same time - didn't even really eat the first week. But today, about a year later... I am about 40lbs heavier than I was then :D

If you are on Prednisone - get off. It is a Cortico Steroid that will make you very hungry and raise cortisol levels - bad combo. When I got back to the gym, I was very shaky and lost a lot of strength. Not sure why YOU are on it - but if you are not in urgent care, there must be better options for you than cortico steroids.

I have no choice because of my medical problem i have been on Prednisone 60mg for 3 months now my cheeks are really big i cant stand it. I am tapering down to 35mg one more month and i can get off it, my body fat has risen since i been on prednisone. How long did it take for the swelling in your cheek's to go down once off prednisone? Btw looked at your pics i can't see a notable difference in size. Could be cause of the angel the picture was taken or something. Not saying you didn't gain any, i just can't tell by that pic. Take more.

Bro, not to flame you but people are quick to tell you what you want to hear on this board..Those pics look just about the same except one is color and one is not...2 months and all that juice i would expect to see much more progress... IMO, you could have reached those gains of creatine... Try using some ripped fuel,it always worked for me...

Warrior
02-05-2003, 01:29 AM
Well... it's like trying to convince me I have 9 fingers when I use and see all ten everyday. I have made lots of progress in the last 5 months... and in the two month span in those pics.

And Dan3814, brah... you say "all that juice" - you act like I pigged out on my first cyle :unsure: I basically just ran some Deca and Equipoise. And at very reasonable dosages... with a Deca frontload. And yes, I am familiar with Creatine - but right now I am playin' with da kine gear.

Anyway - I will be doing what Decoder said and take new pics - at some new poses... some a little closer in. Maybe holding on to something to show some size - like a quarter next to my arms for Pete to compare with. An try and eliminate some hard flash - but I shoot with film (I'll be sure to buy color film again) and it has a hard flash indoors. I will try bouncing the flash more off the ceiling or something... to show more natural lighting.

But I will get some new pics this weekend. I am on my last 6 days of Tren/Prop (75/50 ED) after running it for 40 days. After that I switch to Tren/Win (75/50 ED) and will run Clomid 50mg EOD during. The Tren/Win will last another 40 days - then I am off for awhile... maybe jump back on that Creatine stuff for awhile :wg:

So my next pics will be after about 40 days on my first heavy androgenic stack. I even shaved the hair patch on my chest off... :D and cleaned up some stranglers on my arms. All measurements are up - especially quads, as of 1 FEB they are up 2 inches to 29 from 27... bodyweight - 262.4lbs. :D Even with all the extra cardio and strict dieting - I am up. Probaby from the estrogen conversion in the Prop - but I am leaning up alot regardless of extra bodyweight. Which is a feat holding this much weight. Next up - Tren/Win...

BTW - Decoder, I was on heavy IV drip for a few then PO form at 60mg... then did the weening off thing. Once I was down to like 5 or 10mg per day in outpatient - I threw the shit away... and even though the doc said it could be fatal because my body won't be fully adjusted to producing Cortisol naturally...

Warrior, War dog... Listen your 6' I'm 5-11. I can tell you from experience you will be the one noticing the most changes and then boom one day somebody will be like G*d dame nice work... Me at 245 didn't even have the separation in my chest that you do at 250. I can tell your leaning, and I can only say If I could train you, I would make sure you lost the fat slowly so you could come out with the largest possibly muscle mass. Just me spitting but I gained around 35lb in less than 6months on my second cycle and I wish I could have matured with that weight cause dropping it too fast, I still have a complex about my body, I feel I look like a spider, large body... lean long extremities. You’re doing well, and if you aren't going back to the Marines then use this whole year to mature your muscle mass... I think the hardest part is where you are. Yeah you could lean drastic but lose body composition and be disproportionate. Or lean slowly and mature your muscle mass to a 235-240 solid...good luck bro...I know which ever way you go you'll be able to stay solid. And I'm not saying you'll suffer the same loss in body composition as I did. Just keep your head in a hole and train...

Right on mmaximus25 - I am getting a lot more of those... "What supplements are you taking" questions in the gym lately. :D Ummm... Multi Vitamin, Vitamin C and a shit load of Myoplexes in between meals :D I'll post more progress pics this weekend... I am hovering at about 261-262 lbs. Up 10lbs in a little over 30 days while calories have been clean and restricted.

Well here are the last few months all together. The Feb shot is from today (guess I got a new avatar to make again now :D ). The quad angle sucks - but oh well, thighs are up 2 inches and total boyweight is now 261lbs.

I agree. Quads have improved quite a bit (2 inches in size and much added strength) but I twisted my leg straight on with the lens this time (doh!)... in fact the whole pose was pretty twisted. I wish I would have opened up a little more. Errr... I hit the shutter then run into the frame before the timer goes off - :D I need a digital camera. Shooting yourself on film isn't the easiest thing to do, then go process... scan it in... digital cameras - you can just shoot and reshoot all ya want...

But anyway - I got some more that turned out good. I actually cut half body off in most of them :cry:

Thanks Decoder... I plan on leaning up more on my upcoming Tren/Win... get rid of more of that abdominal garbaaaage... deffinitly keeping muscle while leaning out though. Shit... I gained weight while leaning out :D Gotta love it...

well 2 inch's would be hard to see by a picture posted on a website, anyways keep it up ,I suggest hitting lat's hard as possible before this cycle is done. I start my cycle next weekend.

I expect to hit the 240's when done around 14% bf, your still bigger than me.

Today ends Tren/Prop and begins Tren/Win. Also beginning liquid Clomid in Grapefruit juice at 50mg every other morning to help post cycle recovery be easier. 40 more days to go...
