May 2018 Most Improved Competition [FINISHED: Results in post #5]

**bethdoth** · 05-15-2018, 05:52 AM

"""Hey guys.
So I have decided to make a few changes to my goals for this cycle/comp. I am now going to use this cycle as a recomp/lean bulk.
I am going to drop 3ish% BF and focus purely on lean mass as oppose to just bulking and not worrying about fat.. I don’t like looking sloppy, I perform my best at around the 10% mark.

So goal this cycle is: gain 3-4kg of lean mass, more if possible… and drop few percent in BF to get me to around the 10% mark.

Let’s go!"""

Sounds like a good goal Eduke! I'm glad I could motivate you ... LOL If I reach my goal of 9% BF and maintain my current muscle (maybe build back and legs a bit) I will be more than happy with the end result, and will be a winner no matter what.
Friday will end week two of the tren cycle and it should start to kick in. My biggest concern is how the tren will effect my HIIT in the morning? I already reach heart rates of 153BPM when in the high intensity part of the routine. At 56 my max 100% heart rate is 164BPM, so at 153 I am at 93% max heart rate. If the tren kills my cardio vascular I guess I will be dropping the resistance on the elliptical down a bit. I will also have to fight the urge to go heavy, if I re-injure my shoulder or make my tennis elbow worse I could end up dead in the water.

Yeah, tren sucks on CV. Its one of those things, just have to sacrifice the level HIIT you do during the cycle, the tren will still do its part! The CV, lifting and nutrient partitioning , the deficit and accuracy your implementing you'll smash your goal, easy peasy lemon squeezey.

I hope so .... I have been working my ass off. It's funny I get more support from this forum then I do my friends. My friends think I am crazy, of course none of them workout.
Like you I have a couple events that I have to attend during this comp. I have a 4 day camping/boating trip planned over Memorial Day weekend and then a 10 day Country Music festival camping trip. Hodag Country Festival Typically I drink like a fish from 10AM to 3AM almost every day and don't workout. This year I am going to find a gym and limit drinking to a lot of water ... maybe some Vodka mixed in.

Think its the same for most of us when it comes to support from friends with this sort of thing, purely because they don't understand the lifestyle...

From an outsiders perspective, tracking everything you put in you mouth and pushing your body to extreme limits, plus plumping drugs into your system is alien.

Takes a special kind of breed to love this shit.

Good stuff on the trips, boat trip sounds great. I wouldn't worry to much, keep the food clean, enjoy a drink here and there, few sessions..... all about balance!

Eduke- you are supposed to tell him to drink all he wants and have fun. LOL
I’m just kidding. This competition may be a little to friendly. Actually, my type of competition.
Have fun and take it out on the weights.

Ha Ha, I'm not a competitive type of person really. I am very self critical, so i guess im more competitive with myself than other people.

Oh shit, last night the 51 Y/Ogot up to 180 on HIIT. It seemed so much easier without the tren . Should I be dead? It did not seem like very much effort at all compared to my struggles while on tren.
