I decided to end my 2nd cycle!!!!

[BUYLONGTERM]

Yes, a very sad day indeed (though I did run this cycle 17 weeks). I wish I could say It was 100% successful, but as most of you know, I had a lot of problems along the way that kept me from getting bigger (shoulder problems)

However I still gained 20 pounds, and in a little over a year, I've come a long way.


The pic of me in the yellow shorts is from over a year ago (if you haven't seen it), along with my latest pics...

Thanks bro. I just wish I was able to lift hard during the cycle.

[TheMudMan]

Looking a lot bigger blt.... Good job!

BLT, what was your routine like? Was it heavy weight low reps, light weight high reps? I guess I'm asking if you were following a PL or BB stlye of lifting. The reason I ask is I'm trying to decide which I'll use while running my cycle....my first thought is to go with the hytrophy type training for mass.

Sorry you didn't see the results you were really looking for but it sure seems to me you've covered some good ground with what you've done so far.

[BASK8KACE]

Congratulations, BLT!

You can see the work showing through. Now that you've gotten your body used to the heavy weights and the routine, you're gonna find that you're going to make great gains on your next cycle.
Keep at it.

Thanks Juggs. Well, for my first cycle and the beginning of my 2nd cycle I lifted heavy with low reps. But then the shoulder gave out and after taking a month off during the cycle, I had to lift light weights, with lots of reps. I do know that I got a lot stronger and bigger lifting heavy. That was the downfall of my cycle...

Thanks bro! I hope so. These **** shoulders are giving me hell!!! at the end of my last cycle it was my right shoulder and throughout this last one it was my left. I am going to take it easy for a few months than after blood work jump into cycle number III!!!! I am NOT going to risk anything until I know my shoulder is 100%. It was way to frustrating day in and day out dealing with it.


I just don't feel that much bigger since the ending of my last cycle.

[Swellin]

I am glad to see you stopped early. That was the smart thing to do, because you seemed to be heading toward trouble with this shoulder. Take it easy with that thing and get it recouped completely before you start talking about #3.

Good luck with this thing!

[palequail]

sorry you had to stop.....but you should be back in on time....

[hybrid]

Pretty smart of you to look out for your long term health here. There will always be other cycles. Best, as you said, to be 100% healthy while on. Good luck

[partyboynyc]

[Ironweb]

Great improvement bro. What does not kill you, makes you stronger. Round 3 will be even better.

[BiggerBri2002]

GREAT JOB Dude...I am very impressed. Also impressed you ended it early for the sake of shoulder.

[rujulus]

Sorry to hear that bro, great job on the transformation though it looks like 2 different people in those pics.....

[pumpseeker]

[bornbad71]

Keep it tipped!!!! I start PCT soon!!! Thanks bro!

[Mallet]

Great improvements BLT!...gut some meaty traps up there i see!

[Ntpadude]

Keep it tipped!!!! I start PCT soon!!! Thanks bro!

Are you exiting everything for PCT or just dropping back to your base TRT? I would almost suggest hanging onto your natural ability to produce testosterone and take a 2 months off. Do your clomid and maybe consider some tongkat/tribulis combo to help kick in your natural test production. These longer and higher dose cycles (longer the 10 weeks) is what fries the balls good. When I did my 16 weeker, I noticed the damage to the balls occurred primarily after week #10.

much better shape, great transformation, congratulations.
