    Looks like some unscheduled rest days for me. Tweaked something in my neck on Sunday, and have woke up in excruciating pain the last 2 days. It's loosens up quick and feels good most of the day, but starts getting tight again in the afternoon.

    First chest/ arm day at the new gym. Frustrating trying to get equipment. Promotes flexibility, I.e. Did incline instead of flat bench first.

    Still in and out in just under an hour. Went to wash up before leaving, had a hell of a pump going. Picked my water bottle up off the counter and had a crazy vein popping out of my biceps. Felt awesome

    Recently, pushed my higher carb days out to 1/ week, but the weight is starting to move a little too fast. I generally only have shakes (whey) on lifting days (pre and post lift), but believe I'm going to add a casein shake in a few days/week. Probably just keep it bedside and drink it when I get up to tap a kidney/ go for a "slash".

    Your thoughts and critiques is much appreciated. Thanks

    I don't recall your weight, GJD, but if you could post it and maybe break your macros down for each meal into pro/carb/fat and post the total macros for the day, it would help.
    On a side note, when I was laying out my diet, I made up a weeks worth of meals to start with and rotated through them....and of course I had to adjust as my weight started moving in the right or wrong direction, but it made it easier having an outline of my food intake.
    Also, Jimmy has a "What are you eating now?" thread going in the nutrition forum, some of the guys/ladies are pretty fancy cooks...a.couple are chefs....but there's some good meal suggestions in there.
    I'm slowly trying to cut fat myself, but I think the main thing it boils down to is something Marcus posted. This isn't an exact quote, but basically it's all about calories in, calories expended, and adjusting until you find your sweet spot. Ride that meal.plan until changes stop, and then adjust again. In your case, find your maintenance calories, add in 500 or so, see how you react. If you don't grow, add in some more.
    If it would help, I could PM you some.of my meals, but you may need to adjust the amounts somewhat. I was over 300# when Marcus and the guys started helping me/motivating me. My goal is to be 250-ish by years end and then I hope I can really focus on adding more muscle.

    Im stuck in a rut it seems. I need more size. My lower back is killing me tho. I've let it go to long and getting back into dead lifts is hard. Thats part of my problem is inconsistency. Nother thing my grip is shit bc I have worn straps all year. Cant hold nothing. Tossing them for now. Its a battle.

    I'm actually enjoying training "naturally" right now, 5x5, strength is going up nicely, three times a week is certainly less is more right now too. Half a pound a week gain after cardio is going well for me. :-)

    On the feeling like you're in a rut subject. I took a few days off and got a deep tissue massage. Really brought the fire back to the workouts and my whole body felt really refreshed. Maybe look into that may help you out.

    Holy crap!!! Doc gave me a muscle relaxer script for this pulled muscle in my neck. Must be something new because she gave me a coupon that said I would only have a 5 dollar co pay. So I get the cvs and give them the script and the coupon and it was gonna be 600 bucks just for my part. Insurance paid a little over 300, coupon covered 800, and they tell me the cash price is 1800 bucks! Called the docs office to see if they'll call in a different script and sitting here waiting to hear back on that other wise I'm stuck with a nearly immobile neck for a while longer. Damn this big pharma BS!

    It's called amrix. From what I read they simply patented an extended release version of flexeril and tossed a huge price tag on it. 1800 cash price for 60 pills puts it at 30 bucks per pill. You could get it cheaper on the street.

So I was more than pissed when I found out it was only good up to 800, and I refuse to pay 600 out of pocket for muscle relaxers. Called the doc back and left a message to get a different script but haven't heard back yet. Thankfully it's not unbearable at the moment, but the last 2 mornings I've woke up so stiff and in so much pain it takes a couple hours to get it loose enough to be half way functional. So I was hoping to get something tonight.

    Rest day today, just doing moderate cardio.
    Chest and back are still thrashed from the last two sessions.

    Today marks 4 weeks of Test Cyp, tonight is my 9th pin.
    Everything is going fantastic so far.

    I'm eager to pull mid cycle bloods
    Would it be too early to get them this week?

    Using .25mg dex EoD as per first cycle protocol but I feel like my E2 might be a tad high because I am feeling more emotional than usual.
    If its not too early, I'm pinning Test wed night & sun morning, how long after a pin should I pull BW?

    If you are 4 weeks in the cyp should be hitting you soon. If I had access to bw id pull it but if not id up the ai. Im not an expert so I cant tell you exactly when you should pull bw after a pin but your levels should be leveling out so to speak next week

    I'd wait till about 6 weeks for BW. When you pull it relative to pinning is irrelevant on cycle as serum levels will be high regardless. Timing is important for those on TRT but on cycle, not really.

    In-f*cking-credible. I probably would've dumped my guts on the spot when I heard $1800. Hope they get something reasonable called in for you ASAP.

    Do you see any new contests or interviews happening anytime soon?

    It's been pretty quiet around here. I'm thinking the time might be right to mix things up a bit around here?

    Stay the course. Then BW will tell you exactly how you respond at THAT dose. Changing it now F's up the learning process. You'll be fine.

    And the generic non extended release version ran me a total of .89 for a one month supply. I can't imagine that the extended release version is good enough to warrant a 600 dollar co-pay after an 800 coupon, and a little over 300 in insurance payment.

    What I'm really excited to find out about is the doc told me I would get a call from a local compounding pharmacy and if my insurance covers well enough I'll have a script for a topical cream that provides a local anesthetic and pain killer plus muscle relaxer. I like this because then I can keep the treatment local to the site that needs it rather than affecting my entire body with a pill.
